Well folks, for those of you that are paying attention, Pennsylvania has suddenly turned into Florida with bipolar weather, and rain every time you sneeze. So yes in the areas that are already devastated by flood, its pouring. YAY! *sarcasm* So what am I going to do this rainy day? CLEAN.  My kitchen is very much a disaster and I truly need to buckle down and clean it. After that I am going to try to neaten up the bathroom, the living room, vacuum etc. I’m hoping that my payment comes in for the paid blog posts that I’ve done, because I REALLY could use that money.

I had my interview with the low income housing and now comes the waiting game. So I am putting my time to good use at least. Last night I has such a bad back ache that I took some pain relief medicine and just went to bed. Today I’m eating a banana for breakfast to see if that will help. It was just so weird, it started yesterday while I was at Chinese with my Mother and it started in my left side and just spread.

My poor dog isn’t going to like me after a while, I am going to have to take her out and its raining. I know she’s not going to want to go, but damnit, I’m out of puppy pads and I haven’t been able to order the reusable ones yet. I’m also trying really hard to get rid of all the fruit flies, flies etc that came in when the door was wide open. I can’t believe that door made me feel so insecure! Ok I can it had a screen duct tabled to a door and that was it. Now thankfully there is a board over the hole. MMMM I forgot how good coffee could taste first thing in the morning…

My sleeping habits are shit. Total absolute fucking shit. I can’t go to sleep and stay in a deep sleep. I wake up and toss and turn and have the weirdest dreams about people that are NOT in my life any longer. I’m also sunburned, very slightly. BUT I got up today and decided to do my homework, that was due by 1 am Central time today, and then see what I could do with cleaning my house. So I started with the litter box. I emptied out and took some Mr.Clean with Fabreeze and scrubbed them clean after rinsing them in scalding hot water, then soaked them for 5 minutes in the Mr.Clean solution and very hot water for about ten minutes (one at a time mind you) and put fresh litter in them and put in the powder stuff, then proceeded to go nazi on the rest of the bath room scrubbing it from top to bottom, once that was done and I did my homework, ate lunch and then collected all the dishes from the house that I’d just casually left, or forgotten about¹ and let the really bad dishes soak. I don’t know if I’m O.C.D. but I have to do my plates first, then cups, then bowls, then silverware, then pots and pans. I don’t know why I’m just weird like that. While the first two loads where drying, [2.Being very careful with the new wine glasses.] I swept, steam mopped [3.I spray Mr.Clean or Awesome on the floors to loosen and clean with the steam mop.], let that dry and picked up the rest of the living room and made sure all the trash that the cats and scattered all over the floor ² Mom took the dog out because I had a horrible blood sugar attack, weird I know since I don’t have diabetes. But my blood sugar just … plummeted. I felt so shaky and weak. Sami went to Kam Bo’s Chinese restaurant in town to buy us lunch, then talked to her college administrator while Mom walked Tiny for me while I finished up homework. ³ So we ate lunch and I finished the kitchen, the bath room, and then put down some Oxy Clean, Arm N Hammer Pet Order eliminator and broomed it into the rugs let it sit for 15 minutes and vacuumed it up. I then came into the bed room and folded my clean cloths and put them away. While putting them away I found the Amazon Kindle wall adapter I’d lost. I’d felt like so many times today that I just wanted to sit down and bawl. Sit down and never get up again because of the pain. Being an obese ⁴ woman it hurts to move a lot, and this past week that’s all I’ve done. BUT I’ve been doing it because I can, and I keep thinking to myself it will all be worth it in the end. Well I’d mentioned to my Father that I really wanted a bike because I adore biking and it would really help my knees. So he gave me a stationary bike, and is now selling me a 24 speed mountain bike that my step mother can’t use anymore because she’s got weird swelling in her feet/ankles. So not only do I have a great start on my house being clean and semi organized, but I also have a bike I can use to run around town with! I am so happy that all of my positive thinking that things will get better is starting to work! YAY!

So this morning I woke up, and decided I needed coffee. Unlike other mornings I decide to have oatmeal (strawberries and cream yumm-o) So I started the coffee pot, or else I thought I did… only it didn’t turn on. So I turned it on, turned on the microwave for oatmeal and the fuse to the kitchen blew… again. The only thing that is working is the stove. Wonderful. I moved the coffee pot and microwave into the living room  because the fuse won’t blow as easily there, but it’s a huge inconvenience, I mean kitchen appliances are supposed to be, in the kitchen right? Not so much, I run the microwave, with anything else. Blown fuse. *sigh* I so need to find a new apartment. Hell I need to find a new town. I just have this itching feeling that my time here in this town is being wasted. I so want bigger and better things. Oy…
