Howling Dragon

Yeppers I have been bad and not posting in forever and a day. Let's see if I can sum things up and try to get back on track.

Work......
Well the store has been in remodel mode now for about a month. It is a total mess though the changes are starting to show results. Customers are still pissy about things moving, no matter what you do to make things easier on them, and I have been told off in more creative ways than when I was a telemarketer. I interviewed for a new position but didnt get it...no biggy i guess as it was only as claims assoc/receiving assoc for grocery. When I was given a reason why I didnt get it all I got was a bunch of BS that boiled down to the fact that I dont put walmart first. Oh well. No real surprise there and you couldnt pay me enough to kiss arse.

Angel.....
She has started going to Brownies due to teachers' recommendations. In fact she gets her first badges in two weeks from today. The teachers have concerns academically as well as socially and have suggested a few differet things---- one of them being to get her more involved with kids her own age as she does well with adults. Also they have done various tests and should get the results at the end of the month. On her IQ test she scored really high on some things and really low on others....many people have said that doesnt surprise them. I have been trying to get myself to play more with her instead of focusing on chores and such as time seems to be slipping away so quickly and not sure how much longer she is going to want to play with me. I bought some sidewalk chalk yesterday and we had a blast using it in the driveway.

Thal....
We are doing well...getting more time to see each other. Going to be doing a parade with him this weekend. Im trying to get more into rev. war reenacting with him as well....it's a lot of fun.

Me...
Had a minor cold a few weeks ago and had my blood pressure checked...it was quite high. Went back to have it checked last week and it's still quite high. No surprise as it runs in my family but they are having me try changing some habits to see if it helps. Will have to go back to the doc in a month for a recheck.

Cant think of anything else.

Hiya all.
First off the obit. was in the paper today for my uncle. Really good pic of him and it's a very nice right up....only problem is they say my cousin is married to "carol" oliveri....should be carl....but since I dont like Carl anyways its no big deal lol. No disrespect meant....but I cant deal well with a wife beater and such....but since that is no reflection on Uncle Steve really than I dont mind feeling that way = P

Just got back from the HCR 6 (check here if you are curious about HCR 6 ... http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2009/HCR0006.html) rally in Concord....poor mom forgot that I was going and got all nervous...thankfully dad knew I was going and told her where I was when she called looking for me. It was quite interesting and I had never been inside the state house or to any kind of rally. It was almost bedlam at the end when it was turned down and thankfully Thal and I got out of there without getting ourselves arrested. When I told mom what happened she just sighed and said "Was Thal with you?" when I said yes (after all I have learned it's really best just to tell the flipping truth....plus we did get our picture taken a few times so might as well confess lol) she sighed and said that I always get in trouble when I am with my friends. I assured her that he and I were two of the better behaved and didnt get into any trouble....unlike some folks who were ushered out. The head guard there knew Thal anyways and seemed quite pleasant really so no biggy anyways.

Other than that not much happening.....going to grab something to eat and maye take a nap before I pick up the kiddo....mom is heading out with Jeremy tonight to get his outfit for tomorrow and Friday as well as going out to eat (mom took me out yesterday when we got our clothes....gotta be fair to the two of us lol). Anyways time for some chicken salad...not as good as my mom's but it will do.

Hiya.
First off my uncle who was in the hospital passed away yesterday at about five minutes to four. He had a long fight and it was a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. It was weird that one minute he was fine and was going to be coming home (Well to rehab anyways) and the next day he had two heart attacks and was going down hill. Then he improved but my aunt was told he would be in the hospital for another month at least. Then he got pheumonia and had other complications....at one point he was a candidate for a heart transplant and the next he was too weak and the next they were going to try something called a tantum heart to make him strong enough to take a heart transplant.....things changed every day. On Sunday it was found that his bowels were blocked and that blood wasnt flowing correctly....at that point he had been pretty much unconscious for a few days due to the morphine they were giving him. It was decided then there was nothing they could do.....the infection he had from the pneumonia had gone away but returned and there was nothing more they could do. They stopped the meds yesterday morning and removed the balloon that was in his heart (that they had put in, removed, and put in again before this) about three thirty yesterday afternoon and he died in his sleep shortly after. My family is pulling togethor and my friends have been a great source of strength for me. Calling hours are Thursday five to eight....gotta call paul and see if he will watch angel as i think she is just too young at this time....and the funeral is Friday at 11 (she will be in school by then). I just got back from buying clothes for both....what a depressing bit of shopping that is...and even bought a dress to wear one of those days. As silly as that is me wearing a dress is actually a sign of strong emotions for me as I dont normally wear one for anyone....last time I wore even a skirt was the day my divorce was final and before that was my wedding day.

There has been other crap happening...paul thinking he was going to have to move and freaking out angel and then not having to........but that's a long story that I dont feel like getting in to...which is why I didnt bother posting about it in the first place.

Other than that it's same old same old. Got a parade to do this weekend with Thal...looking forward to it...planning on spending the night at his house where we can have a few drinks in my Uncle's memory (gotta find out what kind of wine he drank). Im off of work until at least Saturday for Bereavement...or so Im planning anyways...Darryl may email me and tell me that walmart refused that many days for an uncle....if so it's just too bad as the most Im willing to do is a half day thursday (like i did today) and off friday. We shall see though as I will email him later.

Visited Michelle last Wednesday. Had a fun day but wish I did it more often.....just not enough time in a day between work, taking care of angel, and everything else. Im suppose to go to a rally tomorrow...may still go, dont know...will see how Im feeling.

Not really.

8. Have you ever had a secret admirer?
If I ever did then they kept it a real good secret because I dont believe I have.

Okay let's see here....

First off my uncle is in the hospital. He is going to have surgery on Monday to have a valve in his heart replaced. If that doesnt work they are going to put him on machines to keep him alive until they can get a heart for a transplant. Im a bit stressed but I know these things happen every day so hopefully he will be alright.

On a happier note...my mom's fish tank is doing well. She has two gobies and two turbo snails that are fun to watch. The orange spotted goby (named Digger) moves sand around with his mouth which is hilarious to watch. The fire goby uses her tail to move sand and they both live uner one of the rocks in the tank. Gonna go tomorrow to get more fish maybe.

Gonna be going on vacation in June to Mount Rushmore with mom, dad, and Angel....should be fun. Im getting a good tax return so that will helpful towards it.

Other than that I cant think of anything else that has happened that I should mention. Will hopefully add more as I think of it.

Hi. Well finally got to see the lawyer in regards to Paul paying half of the medical bills for Angel's surgery. He was quite surprised that he was refusing to pay based on his "lawyer's" advice since it's clearly in black and white. He also said I was being silly only asking him to pay an extra ten dollars a week. Once I get 1K to put him on retainer he is going to write a letter to Paul stating that he is in contempt of the divorce decree, that he needs to pay $1250 (thats half of the total) and if he doesnt we will see him in court....well he will put it nicer than that but that is it in a nutshell. He will also include a copy of the bills as I presented them to him. Now I now it is silly to pay 1K and maybe more to get only a little more than that back but I think it's more the principle of the thing. It's not right for Paul to get away with not paying anything.


Not much else happening...mostly working.

And to end on a funny note there is this....


more animals

Yah!!! My first season "Get Smart" dvds finally arrived...only been waiting about a week and a half and the "back ordered" game I got for angel arrived last week = /

Anyways I know how I will be spending the next few nights...happily watching the first 30 episodes of good ol' Max and 99. Now have to wait until March to order the next season.............could have gotten the whole set but it was almost 200 dollars.

Back to watching .... will do a real update later.

Hiya and merry christmas.
Well Angel is finally in bed since Santa is so close to New Hampshire. The christmas eve party went off nicely and Im extremely full. I just filled Angel's stocking, left a note from Santa along with some crumbs and an empty cup (okay so the cup had been holding rum and coke but hopefully she wont smell it...besides even Santa needs a pick me up), and now heading to bed.
Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow.

Originally I just posted this to FA but since I labeled it Mature and, last I knew, Thal didnt have a FA account so couldnt see it I am posting it here too.


Well, since I am broke but wanted to do something for Thal, I have decided to write two poems/stories....one naughty and one nice. I had hoped to have them both done for Yule but with my daughter's surgery and such my mind hasnt been feeling the muse. Anyways this is the naughty one, though not quite as naughty as originally planned --- sorry but it's about 3 AM, cant sleep, and poetry just isnt my thing.

On a side note I noticed when I write "realistically" I keep our genders intact (me as my birth gender of female, Thal as his birth gender of male) and our fursonas true to our own thoughts....yet when I write "fantasy" I switch genders and change his fursona of a black dragon to that of a white dragoness. Not sure why and I hope he isnt insulted.....just the way I write.

Anyways enjoy and Happy Yule.

( Cut to be Friend page..ummm..friendly )

Well first off I got a call from Paul yesterday asking if I wanted him to come with me to the hospital for Angel's surgery. Of course he didnt bother to call me back like he told me he would after the blow up about his paying, or lack there of, for his half. Nor could he be bothered to call me all week until lunch time the day before her surgery. I very nicely told him no I didnt want him there, that the only reason mom even mentioned it originally was so someone would be there to keep me company, that I didnt want him to keep me company, and angel wanted grammy there anyways. He said fine and left it at that.


Angel was nervous and quite anxious while waiting for her turn to go in. The nurses and such did the best they could to keep her occupied and mom made her laugh a bit. Soon her time came and in she went. Mom and I stepped out for a smoke and then went in to wait. It took about half an hour or so and then we were called in. Dr.Reddy told us all went well and how to care for her in the next couple days. Then we went in to sit with her until she was allowed to go. She only complained a little bit about pain at that point but hasnt mentioned it since then. Her hearing has increased tremendously and it's amazing how much better she hears.....she even asked us to turn the tv down a couple of times because it was too loud even though we could barely hear it. What a difference from having to ask her to turn things down.

Her teacher, Mrs.Zibel, called around lunch time to ask how things went and Paul called about quarter of three. I told him that she was fine and confirmed Christmas plans. He said he will pick her up around 3-4 and keep her until Sunday. So all is good there.

Anyways just finished christmas shopping and making my gifts...just gotta wrap everything. Seems like our Christmas eve party is back on as it's only suppose to rain so Im pretty psyked about that....gotta clean and such as well as pick up my check at work. Other than that...same old same old.

Made an appointment with a lawyer for January 7th at 1:30.....will see how that goes. Talked to the hospital today...they were able to charge me $710 for the operation which is the same out of pocket cost as if I had medicare. It is normally a $5000 operation. Going to check into Healthy kids NH now.

Alright talked to Paul on Friday in regards to Angel's surgery...told him his insurance wont cover it since it's being done in NH (Im sorry but I refuse to drive two hours to Boston...puts me in a bad spot should, Gods forbid, something go wrong). I told him, and this made my mom laugh though I dont know why, that I would take payments and wasnt asking for his half of $525 that I paid (down payment on surgery and audiologist visit) or of the $200 my parents paid (initial visit with specialist). Now according to the divorce papers he has to keep insurance on Angel and pay half of anything that insurance doesnt cover so I figured I wasnt be too prosumptious. I also tell him that I still have to pay almost six hundred to the doc and havent even started paying on the hospital or knock out nurse (sorry cant spell the fancy word lol). He kind of nods in a stunned way but no big deal.

I also ask if it's alright if I pick up Angel early on Sunday as my grandparents were having us over for dinner...he says okay.

Now this morning I get a message from him stating he will not pay his half since I went to a NH doc instead of Mass so it's my fault. Of course the fact that I have been seeing a Mass doc now for two years about the same problem but it's been pushed under the carpet seems to go unnoticed. So I get mad and text him "Glad to know money is more important than Angel." That's all...no song and dance...just that.

He calls back and is YELLING at me that his lawyer told him that he is in the right. I calmly tell him not to yell at me and that the court papers state he has to pay for half of out of pocket expenses and that I havent forced him to pay his half for the past ten to twenty doc visits I have had to go through for this problem...never mind the gas I spent. He continues yelling and says I never told him she had gone to the doc. So I yell once again not to yell at me and that he must think Im a flipping (yes I used that word and not the F-bomb) pharmacist to be able to produce amoxicillin for him to give her without having seen a doctor. He continues to go on about his lawyer. At this point I lose it and begin crying hysterically. I told him that for the past three months my family has been telling me to get a lawyer and take him to court for more child support. I told him I have the right by law to do so every three years but I havent since I thought we were friends, not lovers but at least friends, who could work togethor without tying up the already crowded court system. Plus I know finances are tight so I didnt want to be all cut throat. He calmed down when I mentioned this of course but I kept going. I told him if he wanted to "lawyer up" than I was going to do the same but I was going to win big time. I wasnt just going to go for half of the money for surgery but bigger child support, him having to change insurance, the right to claim her on taxes every year or at least legally change the arrangements to what we verbally agreed to, my lawyer fees, and whatever else my lawyer tells me I can go for. I told him the only reason Angel is even getting presents this year is due to my parents helping me and paying for half of her big present, A Nintendo DS and a Bolt game. He told me to calm down, dont worry about it,and he would call me tonight.

Well, dear readers and friends, he hasnt called and I have already made up my mind to seek legal counsel. Just gotta go digging for my divorce papers and such.


Anyways my mom tells me not to worry and that Angel will get taken care of no matter what but Im still really pissed off.

Happy Holidays all.

Well to make a long story short angel goes for her pre-op work today. It seems that, as we all figured but her doc was dragging her feet about, Angel is in need of tubes put in her ears. She is having a heck of a time hearing and hopefully this will help. I havent told her that she is going to be having surgery, even if it is minor, as she freaks out at everything. Hell she is all upset today about the hearing test she has to do today so telling her she is going "under the knife" is going to be a challenge. Of course I will tell her....just gotta figure out how.

Still havent had my car fixed yet....if my stomach would calm down I would go check out the auto body place that a co worker told me about. However right now I dont see that happening.

Christmas is coming....blah is all I have to say about that.

Other than that there isnt much to report = / Will update once I have more to say.

It seems Ive hit a long dry spell in my current storyline...which is extremely annoying as the whole reason, okay one of the reasons, I started this journal was to do some writing and such. After some reflection I have decided to try a different way of writing and see if that helps. However I really enjoy the character of "Steele" that I have in my head so I think I will keep with him as the main character. Besides changing the story a bit Im also going to try actually writing it a bit differently. In the past I have written my rough draft in a notebook and then transfered it. This time Im going to try using Word Pad and then copying it here. Anyways here is what I have so far....
------------
"Everyone knows Im the hard working peace loving type.
Id walk a thousand miles out of my way just to keep from a fight.
Poke fun at the way that I talk or this hat that I wear,
you can say what you want about me, see if I care.
But one slip of the tongue about my God(s) or my mama,
or this flag that I wear on my shirt,
you'll see a side of me man that I dont think that you wanna.
Cause them there fighting words." Trace Adkins "Fighting words"


==================================================
Im a freak. There really is no way to sugar coat it and Ive long ago learned to accept it. Im simply a square peg in a world of round holes. Maybe this should bother me, make me all depressed or angry at the world while I act like my sheer existence is a curse on all that have to endure the sight of me. Perhaps I should run away to some remote corner of the globe, now there's a statement I could never understand but that's getting off subject, and hide my furry muzzle from all humankind. Surely I must know Im a cancer on this otherwise blemishless world so why shouldnt I take my mixed up hide and disappear somewhere.

Okay so I am being overly dramatic, so sue me, but Ive been dealing with this kind of thinking for far too long. Then again I guess I still tend to come across as some angsty twit no matter how you slice it. It's just how society is and no matter how you try to put a positive spin on things you end up sounding like an whiney snot nosed punk. Sarcasm and negativity in the face of adversity has gotten me this far in life so I stick with it like an overly warn out security blanket. Sure I end up sounding like an asshole at times but I stand by the tried and true.

So just what makes me a freak and why do I allow myself to have the label? Dont I work just like everyother middle class schmuck? Of course I do. After all I have to do my part to support Uncle Sam somehow, right? While we are on that note let me state for the record that I take part in other civic duties as well such as voting and jury duty. I even sat on a jury once like a patriotic member of society. I also drive my, well it's actually the bank's as I havent finished paying on it yet, car like other licensed motorists. Hell Ive even gotten more than my fair share of tickets for things ranging from speeding to having a headlight out with almost everything else in between. Yet Im a good soul for the most part and have never done anything illegal, well at least nothing I ever got caught doing. While I dont consider myself a "goody two shoes" I can say with a clear conscious that you wont be seeing this mug on "America's most wanted" any time soon. Ive had my fifteen minutes of fame already and that was more than enough thank you very much. For the first almost two decades of my life I learned, loved, lost, and experienced the wide spectrum of emotions. I have played sports and gotten my share of bumps and bruises though thankfully I havent done any real damage to myself. I have seen the highs and lows that life could throw at me, been so alone that I wanted to howl to the moon and surrounded by a few good friends, and been knocked on my tail end, picked myself up and been knocked down again. Seems all very, ummm, "vanilla" right? Sure if I was your average run of the mill human.

Just look at me and you will see that Im anything but normal. Everything about me screams "Freak" from my horns, to my wings, and even my fur. But that's only skin, well scale anyways, deep so I dont let such a trivial thing as looks get me down. Let them call me what they will since I know Im just as "human" as they are. That little fact might be a bit more disturbing to the human race as anything else.
================================

"This is a song that nobody knows.
I couldnt begin to describe how it goes.
But it makes me cry or laugh right out loud.
It's the song that I sing when there's no one around.
This is the man that nobody sees
he wears my old clothes and he looks just like me.
Just one of the boys gets lost in the crowd.
He's the man that I am when there's no one around." Garth Brooks "When there's no one around"

First off I had to post that because it reminded me of the fun Thal I had a couple of weeks ago at Rocky Horror. Happy Early Hatching Day once again to my honey dwaggin = >

Anyways on to what has been happening lately...
I ended up quitting Lane Bryant...Im just not a salesperson and cant force people to buy 5 items of highly priced clothing especially in this economy. Well I suppose I could if I pushed myself but not with a clear conscious. No biggy really and not really concerned about it. Found out at walmart that we wont be getting our extra 10 percent off one item this year for Christmas. Instead we will be able to get 10 percent off EVERYTHING in the store from Monday to January 1st. Now I know that doesnt sound like a big deal but normally you cant get a discount on grocery items except for items that are carried at a regular walmart. Still cant get any discount on cigarettes, liquor, prescriptions, or clearance but whatever = / Also going for my "walkie stacker" license tomorrow morning. For those that dont know it's an item of power equipment that I have been very nervous about using...especially after getting hurt by Jacob when he was using one. However I think I can do it. We shall see I guess.

Had both Angel's fish commit suicide on Thursday. One jumped out of the tank (he was a HUGE goldfish about the size of a small Jack Dempsey) and the pleco hung himself up on the filter which sat half out and half in the water. Then after I took the pup to school I got pulled over by an Allenstown Police officer for a light out. On top of that I bit my tongue while I was chewing my gum >.< Then Darry decides to have me practice on the walkie stacker but thankfully I didnt run over him, me, or anyone/thing else.

We are having a surprise party for my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary tomorrow night. Getting my car fixed Wednesday hopefully. Other than that not much happening...same old same old.
