yes I know I've been mia for a bit. rl keeping me hopping just like that old Easter bunny when he came around last Sunday.
Getting ready to head out to classes. Only 4 more weeks until semester is over. Not going to be fun today since I have another sinus headache. sigh.
Anyway, have fun and stay safe all of you.

Finally got back home. Meant to be back sooner but I spent an extra few days with my fianceXD

And then proceeded to leave my dirty clothes (all of them) at his house which is the majority of my clothing because I had a serious brain fart >.<

Long drive. Some rain and wind. In the hotel room. Dad did all the actual driving but I am still exhausted. Had dinner in the casino restaurant. Was nice.

Morning beauties 🌺

Sorry I've been MIA. I just feel like everything revolves around work and thinking about work for the next 3 mths. Back is still bothering me, too. Did a pretty good number on it from that fall.

Hi bb <3 Couple things I meant to tell you - First, the work schedule is partly training and partly covering for the lack of people right now. Going to be like this for 3mths until we get our co-worker back from his hip replacement surgery. Then, you mentioned the heating pad and what's funny is that the one I picked up has those strings where you can tie it around s/thing and I didn't even know - hell, I've never even seen one of those before. :P Btw - no, Six has not stopped laying on the stairs. I'm just more conscientious now. 😞

OMG not pc problems again! :( Ugh... are you looking around ebay or CL for anything to replace it? Able to get your stuff off of it?

Oo the Nevada trip sounds like fun 😺

Oh I got my new Galaxy S8 (I pre-ordered it through Sprint on March 31) in the other day so yesterday I spent the majority of the day just playing around w/ it. How I hated my HTC M8 and how I looove Samsung. :D

Morning Everyone! :D It's been beautiful here the past few days! Very warm, but not humid, so basically extremely wonderful. We finally got around to buying a bike rack so we can go biking again, and we plan on going tomorrow morning! And I'm going to try and go kayaking on Sunday, if the storms hold off. :D Ok, one more puppy picture, since I got a super good one without the kids in it! Click for Puppy!

- smushes You'll have to tell me how you like the Galaxy S8 after a while! I mean I figure it's good, but you never know!

Hi all. Feeling better and getting stronger, but everything is still so exhausting. Went for my first doctor visit yesterday and was just reeling afterwards. Ugh. I am able to walk easier and scared less about falling again. Fell 3 times in the last two months, and the first one was really bad. I was that Life Alert commercial - I've fallen and I can't get up. I have Care Plus or something like that that is exactly like Life Alert, but I was not wearing my necklace. Of course! I was on the floor for two freaking hours and had slid/crawled into my office hoping to use my chair to get up, but I have been so weak it wasn't possible. Finally managed to knock my stuff down that had the necklace and pushed the button. Loved seeing the fireman and paramedic get there! Embarrassing but by then I did not care. Needless to say my necklace has not left my neck since that day, no matter where I go, or the fact it's only good for 50 feet at my house and no where else. lol

Something happened either from the cluster migraine or the hospital afterwards. My hearing is awful. It's like I'm in a well and can barely hear when someone says something. and then they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. Sometimes there's a few minutes that comes and goes that I can't hear at all and that is scary and makes me feel even more isolated. I've got to see a specialist. Also my vision is bad. I see this black pattern a lot that kind of comes in waves and I can barely see even middle sized print now. The small stuff is a serious blur. Making an apt with my eye doctor today. Had my annual apt but had to cancel because of all this mess. I really hope these will not be permanent.

So sorry about your back. Hope it gets better! LOL! Soubds like something I would do - leave all my clothes! But very nice to get to visit. Hope you can fix or replace the pc/whatever was wrong. Didn't get most of it. How is your Mom and Floki and Yoda? Such a neat HA. Hope you are doing better and your Mom is well. Hope the trip is fun for you and you feel better. OMG That puppy is adorable! I must have missed the posts. What kind and what's his/her name?

@ iratze Hey you.. I can't view those pics from work. For whatever reason, Google Drive is issuing a security certificate error. I love Rotts, though. They have the goofiest run. :P

I'm waiting for it to go global so people can start working on ROMS and a root for it. :D Never gotten a phone as soon as it was released so the wait is going to be almost as bad as waiting for the chance to pre-order it. lol

Jumped in there on me. ;)

That sounds pretty scary. Did they take a CT scan of your brain? (if that's the one I'm thinking of, where they monitor for blockages) Really wishing the best for you. hugs You're HA looks amazing, though. 😺

- She's not mine, but belongs to the kids I babysit everyday (so basically I get all the play without the work). Her name is Arya and she's a Rottweiler! :D (only 8 weeks old)

- I can fix that! I'll just upload them to photobucket... :D Clicky: 1 | 2 | 3

Oh yes had CT scan for cluster migraine. Thankfully no TIA either. Haven't had one in years. Have apts lined up now May 1 for hearing and Apr 24 for eyes and so happy got in so quickly. Thanks about HA. Wanted to do another one for the other contest but don't have the energy. :)

It was good to visit. Saw Ghost in the Shell which was a fun experience.

May need to see it again as there was a lot going on in the background.

hi bb <3 so sorry the backs still yucky and work seems like it'll be no help with it for awhile either ;/ .. and yep, pc has gotten worse again..i had gotten it straightened out, somewhat, well at least it was workable i mean from all the blue screens and memory dumps but now it's off on another tantrum or more like several other fits of mal-adjustments lol ...less face it, it's old and over-worked and abused to no end ;) yeah, been looking off and on but most i've found involve a little more of the green stuff than i have free at the time :/ ..speaking of green stuff, wow an s8, go you :) ..let me know how you like it, i'll be truging along with my s5 a while yet i'm sure lol ..i can't quite see putting that much into a phone right now ..though i do wish now that i'd kept my note5 when i had it ..but then again, we all know what they say about hindsight don't we lol ;)

i certainly hope your upcoming dr's appts shed some light on your ears and eyes...annd those headaches stay away too..<3 .. moms doing pretty good, all things considered :) ...floki is growing (almost 5 lbs now) and ornery as all get out lol he seems really smart with the little training i've started on him ..lol he's very food motivated, which means i don't need to put alot into special (fattening) treats for his rewards, i just use little pieces of his food, it's kinda funny i can sit on the bed here with him and i'll have his food dish right here beside me and he's happy as a lark to get his little 'treats' for doing stuff i ask him to (.he will sit right here and watch me take it out of the bowl and reward him lol,.i do hold the little pieces i've broken off in my hand though) ...yoda spends a lot of time fussing and growling at him, but yet he wants to play with him..just not quite all the way yet lol ...yoda runs from him and then runs back to him to get chased again, he'll jump up on the chair and swat and growl like crazy at floki, like he's gonna tear him up ...i can already tell that floki is gonna be a jumper so i can see the day coming that yoda won't be safe in the chair or even on the table lol (floki has already jumped off the back deck a few times instead of walking down the 3 steps, and he almost made it jumping up on the bench by the picnic table) he's gonna be one of those dogs you see that can come running at you and jump up in your arms lol ..hope all your kitties are doing well too :)

I was finally able to check for Masq stuff. I had steamwork and libertine trinkets from last year and was able to buy from this year. Yay! Was there any Masq plot points or something like that this year? If so, I had none of those and would really appreciate any help to get new items. Otherwise thanks for the offer and anyone else.

Floki sounds so cute. Dogs like to please and love to learn so I can see why he works for the treat and doesn't care its his normal food. lol My cat Tinsel LOVED playing with my dog Sahara. They wrestled and rolled all over the house. But the dog finally went back to her owner when she was able to have a stable place to live and a place for her. Tinsel misses her,

Good Morning Everyone! :D We ended up biking a good 15.6 miles yesterday (via my tracking app)! It was a wonderful day for it too, it was warm, but not humid. Unfortunately it's supposed to be raining all day today, so no outdoor activities. We may run out to watch the new fast and furious movie though, but not sure yet.

- There weren't any extra points for this year, just the regular lounge and steamworks trinkets! And yay for having enough points from last year to get this year too!

- How was Ghost in the Shell? Aka, what's it actually about? I can't really tell from all of the promos and such.

- pokes

From imbd:

In the near future, Major is the first of her kind: A human saved from a terrible crash, who is cyber-enhanced to be a perfect soldier devoted to stopping the world's most dangerous criminals.

It revolves around a mystery as Major tries to find out who is killing people and how they're choosing their targets. As she gets deeper into the mystery she discovers more about herself.

Arya is so cute!!! That is a very long bike ride! Good job! :D

lol, at least he managed to remember before class was over xD I'm glad you had a safe drive!

I hope your back starts to feel better, soon :( How do you like the S8 without rooting it so far? I'm way too chicken to do that kind of thing to my phone xD I'm trying to decide if I want to try to get that or not since my S5 is full. I need more room, lol.

hugs I hope the doctors can help you :(

4 more weeks of school but only one is a partial week do to finals!! So close to being done! Which is good because there's like...semi-drama within the department, and I want no part of it. The teacher I work with in the Help Center doesn't want me part of it either, so I know he's got my back if anything happens. I had my review on Thursday which I got all Exceeds Standards on, so that was awesome! The comments as to why I got that was kind of lame, though. Literally all it said was that I was a valuable member of the team. One sentence. throws confetti

Thanks! So do I. Glad such a short time and yay for review! Always hated office drama/politics. just wanted everyone to get along and do my job.

I am home safe and unpacked and did all my quests today. A little grumpy though. Car ride so long and boring. Desert, sagebrush, cows over and over and the road just goes straight forever. Glad to be home.

FYI, been to the heart doc and to Urgent Med. In exteme pain. I'll be back when I can. stay safe

Hope they can take care of the pain so you will feel better! Best wishes <3

Glad you are home too. Sounds like a miserable drive tho. Ugh the desert is NOT for me.

oh dear oh dear. Hugs tightly, but gently.

so proud of you and happy for you. Exceeds standards!!! You are awesome. I guess lack of reasons just means they had nothing for you to improve on. Probably used all their words on the trouble people and were exhausted by the time your review came. Sometimes nice people get less praise because of that.

Slept in this morning. Trying to get back into anything like an exercise routine. Going to get a new mattress. Found which store I want it from just have to go try some out.
