It's the freakin' weekend, Baby!

WHOOO HOOOO!!!!! I am just SO glad not to be wearing woodland Camo BDU's for 2 days. This week just seemed like no matter where I turned, somehow I was getting more pressure and stress than I can deal with.

I have my PT test run, yet again, on Tuesday. And to make matters even more interesting, I have been going to this mandatory class for the people who are having a hard time passing the test. Does anyone show up? Nope. So when little miss ditzy Pt monitor bitches over my score, I can throw that back at her. And she knows that there's been no one there to run the program, as I've emailed her on several different occassions about this. Yea, this ought to be fun.....

I hit my 4 year mark in the Air Force on Monday. 2 more to go. I have a final exam due on Tuesday, so I know what I'm doing with some of my spare time this weekend!!!

Feeling blue

I don't know what's going on with me lately. I am feeling blue, kind of sad, and generally tired. I don't want to do much. But then again, who can do much once work, dinner, practice, homework, baths and housework are all done? I feel like passing out on a regular basis. My life seems to get busier by the day.

Big update

I started writing this update last night in class, and never posted it. She here it is......a little late, but hey, it's here.....

I am writing this update to my blogas I sit in an extremely dry class at Tidewater Community College.

My day at work was awful. Actually, my whole week totally sucked. It was pisson and bitch at AFeskimo week at Langley's Vehicle Maintenance shop. It was like I couldn't do anything right for Cadillac. I actually ended up in tears today from Kermit bitching at me. I am just glad that I don't have to work tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, my LASIK eye surgery is in the morning and I'm nfot ashamed to say that I am nervous about this.

On the home front, I got my car back, finally, from the body shop. I got lucky with the idiot that rearended us. His insurance company paid for everything, even my deductible. The funny thing is that MY insurance company couldn't even track him down unless they sent out threatening letters to him. Then, the only way they found him was that he'd filed a claim on his truck. Irony, let me tell you.

We have been so busy these past few weeks, it's insane. I have missed snuggling with Ziggy. Speaking of Ziggy, OMG, the visit with my father-in-law. His girlfriend is going through chemo, 'preventive', as she says, as her cancer is very very small. She griped over EVERYTHING!!! And her 16 year old daughter played up the spoiled brat routine to the hilt. This girl ran her mother down for anything and everything she wanted. And the mother gave in, no matter wht. My father in law didb't help it any, letting the girl have whatever she wanted. Yea, so I had these people in my house, while I'm on 12 hour shifts, and they are wanting me to stay up and hang out with them, and be able to get plenty of sleep before I have to get up and do it all over again the next day. I was very unpleasant, and poor Ziggy caught the brunt of it. But he handled it all pretty well, he's such a goof man.

The war phase of the exercise I was working in was WAY too easy. After 12 hours of not doing much, I was ready to be active on a shift. well, as it turned out, I did even less. Every attack I responded to got cancelled, so I was far more unproductive.

I got drunk dialed by CrazyGirl's ex, TheBoy. It was hilarious. He wanted me to drive up to D.C. and have sex with him. I laughed until I cried. He even pulled out the ever pathetic, 'Don't you know who I am?!' as a last ditch to get me to come up there. I cracked up. TheBoy is special in his own little world, and that's about it......I called CrazyGirl and told her about it, and we laughed some more.....

I have had my LASIK surgery now, and my eyes are a bit blurred, but I can see. Not well enough to drive, mind you, but pretty well. Ziggy is going to take me to class tonight because of it. The whole process wasn't very long, and they gave me Valium since I was nervous, and that worked pretty well.

Anyways, sorry it's been a while since I properly updated, but now that I have, I feel better. Have a good weekend!

The weekend

I got Drunk Dialed by CrazyGirl's ex, TheBoy. It was absolutely hilarious. He wanted me to drive up to DC and have sex with him. I laughed and laughed over the idea. Then he brings up the all important kicker.....'Don't you know who I am?!?!" To which I replied that he was only special on his board, and I didn't care. It was hysterical. I laughed til I cried over this whole thing....and then I called CrazyGirl and told her about it, and we proceeded to laugh some more...it was the highlight of an EXTREMELY boring 12 hour shift at work.......

So I'm having my LASIK eye surgery this coming Friday. I have faced life behind glasses for as long as I can remember, so life without them seems a bit daunting. I was telling Ziggy about this yesterday, and he was thinking that I was having second thoughts, which totally to the contrary.

The weather is spectacular, though windy. Gotta love spring. My roses are doing smashingly well. I was planting one the other day, and I dug up a frog, and showed it to MiniZiggy, who was sitting in his bouncy chair in the yard while Mommy was planting flowers. What's the first thing my darling does? Tries to grab it. I wasn't sure how he would react to a frog, so I wouldn't let him have it. But I was pleased to see that he did get scared by it. The dog, Sagres(named for Portugese beer, of all things) scared MiniZiggy the other day, and he's been a bit nervous of the dog since.

Oh Lord am I behind

Sorry for the massive lack of updates. I am working in a war game exercise, and have been on 12 hour shifts for the past week and a half. In short, it sucks. And now I am on the night shift, so things are even more out of whack. and I am massively tired.

The nice bit about working nights is that I can catch up on the movies I've been missing, and get a baby blanket crocheted for a friend.

I got paid $700 in settlement from the idiot that rearended me. And then I got a speeding ticket, not even 2 miles from home. I am going to fight this, as I don't know how the hell the cop could use the radar while she was driving. I think it's bullshit myself.

CrazyGirl and TheBoy have split up, and CrazyGirl is in grief mode. I feel for her, and I just hope that she can find someone worthy of her, and be unimaginably happy. She's a great gal, and deserves to be treated as such.

Monday

I actually did alot of nothing today, and I didn't get into any trouble for it. Gotta love that.

I came home with a splitting headache, which I still have. I hate allergy season.

I finished my rough draft of my next English paper, and though it's not as long as the teacher wants, I think it's thorough, and that will make up for not being the requested length. I hope. I even vaccuumed 3 rooms of the house, I feel so productive. I may even go do a bit of laundry.....AGGGG.......laundry, what's gotten into me?!!?!?!?

I don't know what's into MiniZiggy lately. He hasn't been napping well like he usually does, and he's being fussy a bit more than normal. I wonder if he could be starting to teethe. Ah yes, that wonderful stage of life with grumpiness, crying, ear infections and getting teeth. Yay, what I live for...........

Ahhh....idiots

Apparently the moron that rearended my car doesn't have car insurance, and isn't who he said he was, nor the age that he said he was. Supposedly, this guy is 26, an electrician, and recently fell 4 stories, ripped his bladder off to one side, busted bones, teeth, etc. So WTF is he doing driving? He didn't have his license on him, and my insurance company is very curious to know why there was no accident report written, no ticket given for him not having a license, etc, and has even called the police department about it. So, we'll see what happens.

MiniZiggy is 6 months old today. Aww.........my how time flies.

My father in law is coming in this week. And of course, Ziggy is taking another week off. I, am not. I really want very little to do with him, his girlfriend and her 16 year old kid. That, and there are better ways to burn my leave time than to spend it with them.

I weigh 162 pounds. And I've been on a diet.......and gained 2 pounds. Yea, something has got to give. This is ridiculous. I have got to find something to help me lose this weight. I don't want to be seen in public much, and I almost burst into tears when Ziggy asks if I'm hungry. I feel guilty over anything that I eat, too. And having people ram my weight and slow running down my throat, on top of telling me that I'm going to get kicked out for not passing my PT test, none of this is very motivational. Cadillac isn't thrilled, either, and that's going to spell nothing but trouble.
