General Catch-Up

Hello world, it's 6:45 in the morning and I have been up since 5am. Wish I could remember what it's like to get a good night's sleep. I'm one of those people that could be absolutely exhausted but I just can't get my brain to power down overnight...I can fall asleep easy, I just can't stay asleep. Bleah.

Anyways, so let's see....what has happened since my last blog post.....Oh! Met the new apartment manager, she seems nice and capable of handling herself here. You have to be tough to manage here, some of these tenants will chew you up and spit you out if you show any weakness, lol. Speaking of tenants, I had a run in with one of our nuttier ones last week. Some of you might have seen my apology for my behavior on facebook....in 6 years of living at this complex I have never got in anyones face and screamed in public like that. At least now she knows to never again mistake my kindness for weakness. Sorry, got derailed there....so new manager seems cool, at first I thought she had an issue with me due to some comments she had made to me, but I talked with her about it and everything seems ok :)

Grandson has been sick lately. Poor kid just can't catch a break with his psoriasis. He's on some meds now tho so hopefully the little guy will be feeling better soon.

Ironman 3 is coming out in about two months, so that means a ton of stuff promoting it is in stores! This is heaven to an Ironman/Avenger collector like myself :) :) It also sucks cause I am poor and cannot buy most of what I see lol. I have a birthday coming up tho, so hopefully it will be an Ironman/Avenger bday.

Blood sugar seems to be getting back under control a bit....I wish I could get readings below a hundred though. This past week I have been averaging between 120 and 140 two hours after eating. And my wake up readings are always so high (for me) no matter what I do. I need to lose this weight, that's the problem. Easier said than done though :( In fact, I have gained a bunch more (Hence the reason my BS had been acting wierd). Keep in mind I do not take anything for my diabetes..I control it with diet and exercise....sometimes that really sucks tho, if I want something a bit sweet I don't have insulin to fall back on to average me out like other diabetics.

Adopted a ferret from someone that needed to find him a good home. I have never owned one before, or even been around one, so it's been quite an experience so far ....a great experience! These animals are so neat, they are smart like dogs, and they play like cats. And this one is very loveable..he gives kisses and really likes human contact. He makes me laugh, and lately I haven't had a lot to laugh and smile about, so he's been a blessing of sorts.

So it's spring break here on the Oregon Coast....also known as the "Beginning of The Hell We Call Tourist Season". Yesterday we had reports of kids throwing trash around the skate park, and some guy snorting an unknown substance off the hood of his car. In broad daylight on a Sunday. In the morning. Twice yesterday I almost got T-boned by out of state drivers who come here and forget how to drive. Hate hate HATE this time of year....after spring break it will chill out till Memorial day in May, and then from there to September it just sucks ass.

Well, that's about it for now. Wow, this post was all over the place wasn't it? lol...that's how it is in my brain though...thoughts bouncing all around. Take care everyone

Peace,

Shannon

Jumble Of Things

Been awhile since I wrote a blog post. Sorry about that, been kinda busy, kinda stressed and kinda sick. One of the three seems to prevail everyday hehehe. Anyways, I have a ton of topics running through my head in a huge jumble, so I am going to try (keyword here...try) to get some of it down on paper here (well, virtual paper anyway).

I guess we have a new apartment manager showing up next week. Please please PLEASE let her be strong enough to deal with the idiots, but nice enough that you I don't want to hide in my apartment to avoid her. She needs to be tough though, or some of the tenants here will eat her up and spit her out. I don't know if she is going to live on site or not, prob not though. The last two haven't.

Speaking of tenants...one of them is a guy with a fake right leg from the knee down. He got a bit intoxicated last night and fell on his fake leg...he shattered his hip and broke his femur. He had surgery today, I hope he's doing alright and gets to come back soon.

Walking dead......ANDREA NEEDS TO GO. She has only ever been good for two things that I can see...screwing and becoming zombie food. She's already boinked the couple of guys dumb enough to go there, so now it's time she becomes a brain quiche. For real, that bitch has GOT to go. Serious.

So, got over my strep throat. However, recent weighing shows that I am actually heavier now then I was when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Not sure wtf is going on here, but I need to lose the weight and fast or bye bye controlling diabetes AND my blood pressure naturally, and hello meds that I don't want :(

Hell's Kitchen started tonight....woohoo! Loves me some Chef Ramsey.

OH! I got a new ride! Well, new to me. I can't believe I didn't start this blog post with that, since all I do from the time I got it is talk about it haha. It's a 1988 chevy suburban. It's a HUGE beast of a thing, and I love love love it. Thank god I finally found someone that would take a monthly car payment. Anyways, it was owned by a sheriff who used it for hunting and hauling trailers around. The inside is a nightmare, but it's beginning to look a lot better...it's amazing what you can do with some imagination and stuff from the dollar store :) Have had a lot of questions on whether or not I will be turning this one into a zombie response vehicle also, and the answer is .....maybe. How is that for definite? :D

Ok, that's about it for now. I have more stuff rattling around in my head but I am so tired right now, I just want to go to bed. So good night all, peace.
