Domestic Geek

I was surfing the 'net finding quotes I liked to put in my array and pasting them in a gmail message to mail to myself. I had quite a few and then closed the window without sending the message. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. *sigh* I guess that's what happens when a dog wakes you up from your nap too soon.

Well, something is still wrong with me. I took my antibiotics, I took my Monistat to cure the resulting yeast infection and I still have the same problem I had a month ago. Damn, this is getting really old.

This wouldn't be so bad if I had health insurance, but I don't. Why can't these people just run the tests they need to, perscribe the right medicine and be done with it. "Well, your symptoms indicate it might be this...take this medicine and if you don't feel better, come back and we'll run another test." It's like mechanics that keep replacing parts until they stumble on the correct one instead of running diagnostic tests and replacing the broken part the first time.

I tried selling a bunch of stuff on eBay again to raise the money to go to the doctor. Sadly, nobody wants my stuff. Only two things that I listed this time sold and I raised a total of less than $15 (after fees). That won't even pay for an office visit. *sigh* eBay is definitely for buyers, not sellers. Unless you have something really rare or your business is based on something that people need alot like ink cartridges or computer parts, you're not going to become rich selling there. It also makes me feel bad that I own all of this stuff and it is basically worthless to anyone but me.

Here's another reason to hate Daylight Saving Time: EE doesn't handle it well. Grrrrr.

Since it will be about a week or so before I actually begin working my new job, I've decided to give my house a throrough spring cleaning: dusting, windows, carpets, everything. I'm concentrating on a room a day. That should be manageable. Today I tackle the bedroom. I am also going to get my web site finished for school so I'm not trying to do it the night before graduation (Chrissy told me she thinks it is May 21) or some other such stupid thing. If I don't write much over the next few days, that's what I'm doing.

There's going to be an eclipse of the sun today. I love eclipses of all kinds. They're freakin' cool. Unfortunatley, I don't live in an area that will be able to view any part of it.



Bah! The good news, however, is that according to my horoscope, things in my life are going to get better after the eclipse and after Mercury (my ruling planet that has been retrograde) turns direct, all of which is supposed to happen after April 12. Since that is approximately when my new job is supposed to start, things are looking up!
