Despise, Hate or Frustated

I can't decide which word fits how I feel about SAG. My back window was broken totally on December 31st. I went with the company that the insurance guys went with. Well, tomorrow will be the third time this month that they are coming to fix my car. The seal isn't right. When it gets wet, it drips all into the trunk.




We had a heavy rain last night and I came out to a trunk half covered in half an inch of water. I took off part of this morning to go get a cover that I could put on the car. See, everyone I called said that they couldn't fix it today because of the rain. But had it not rained, I wouldn't have known that there was still a problem. I feel Noah-ish today. It is all about the flood. I just have to keep telling myself that no rain means no rainbows. Even though today I feel a bit drowned in trouble and sorrow.

Good day and remember rainbows.

Retirement Ready

I did something today that smacks me sideways with its adultness.

I set up an IRA. I have been pondering on it for a bit. I haven't had any plan for retirement until now. I haven't really thought about it.

It is the future. I think of it as the Future. As it is this island out in the Pacific somewhere that I will eventually maybe end up on. Right now I am thinking of the omlette I had for dinner just about 30 minutes ago. Not my life in 30 years. I look at it the same way I do public speaking. That it will never happen. : ) They couldn't possible want me to speak. Oh no, it's happening and I know I planned but it could never be enough.

The only future I see right now and have seen ever is B. I see us two white haired fools. Him still hugging me just as he does now and me teasing him just as I do now.

He may have to go away in mid summer. For a week. His boss volunteered him for the mission of going to another district office and checking over their work. I asked him to put in for Washington DC. He wants me to come with. And I want to come with. I haven't been away from him since we started living together.

Oh and speaking of away, it is planned. We are cruising again in February. YAY! Major major YAY! We are both looking forward to it as an anniversary thing. I had hoped that we would be able and we are going to the Bahamas again. I am hoping this can become our February thing. Just because we both enjoy it so much.

Good night and look forward.

Dream a little Dream

So last night as I was almost falling asleep, I was still talking. I do that a lot. Once when I was sleep talking, I told B. that I wanted to live in a monkey house. Not a house full of monkeys but one shaped like a huge monkey. I don't have any idea of where that came from.



Last night, B reminded me of it again and said that it didn't have to be made of monkeys. For some odd reason, that comment set me just a-gigglin' like crazy. I laughed harder when I heard myself and even harder still when I could feel him laughing beside me. LMAO doesn't justify this giggle fest.



I did finally get to sleep afterwards. I dreamed that I was in Tokoyo. I was wandering around the city center which apparently I was very familiar with. I realized that I was graduating (with what I still don't know). But the graduation gown I had on was white with gold lettering and only covered my shoulders like a small cape. I was walking through a beautiful garden filled with pink and white flowers and then I was walking through this cloud to a subway station. I didn't know where I was. I got on one of the subway cars and we made our way down to the ground. We would circle lower and lower like an airplane descent and just when I would let go of the breath I was holding it would plummet like on a roller coaster. The older Japanese couple sitting across from me watching me intently and would smile slightly when I would squeak and hold tight during the roller coaster part.

Very Eveish.

Good night and no more sushi before bed : P

Feeling Better

It has been one thing after another. Between being sick, getting glass broke, getting sick again, having to fight through crazy people with a detour, and being fussed at by neighbors, it has not started off as a good year.

But happy notes are still around. B is still wonderful. T and I are working on taking a class on Thursdays. Floral arranging. It looked pretty cool and anything I can do to be creative is a good thing. Work has been good too. Now that the holidays are over and I finally am feeling good, I feel like actually doing work. I am looking into asking an Asian Alliance group to do a presentation about Asia and the Lunar New Year. Plus I am more than halfway done with my weeding of the children's non-fiction. It has taken a while but I am plugging away at it little by little.

I took H out to lunch the other day to celebrate her finishing her certification for nails and skin care. Her official title is a long word I can't remember. It was really nice sitting down with her. I am glad she is my sister. We ate at a new restaurant (well, for me) Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It was good.

I have already begun to look at apartments online. I am definitely ready to move. I know that there are two things I need to do before that. I am ready for more windows for one. I miss windows. We are in a condo with windows on the front and back but are sandwiched between two other units. Oh well. May needs to come soon.

Good day and be well.

A difference in 18 hours

I thought it was ice. I thought it had gotten cold enough to ice over my car's back windshield.

Then I got closer. It wasn't ice. My back windshield was shattered. I drove it home at 6 pm and at 12 noon the next day as we were going out to leave to go to lunch, I saw the damage. Something or someone has damaged my car. It was so bad that we closed the doors, the window started to almost buckle.

I was a bit shocked to say the least. But B, T and myself went out to lunch. And then home again to call the insurance. I have never called before. Insurance is one of those things you have and hope never to use.

There is no clue as to how it happened. Firecrackers, bullet, hammer... it could be any or none at all. It was definitely something with force behind it. It left a hole in the window and broke a hole in the plastic piece of the backseat. I hope when the guys come out to fix it to have a better idea. I personally think it was someone with a huge Hello Kitty hate : )

And on the positive side, I'd rather my car be smashed than me or mine. Plus I get to ride with Mark for the next day or so. More time with hubby is always a positive.

Good day and watch out.
