Man...
At work again today. Having a few little money problems. Again. This first year is going to be a total bitch and a half.
We are pretty much of better health now, but be and Jeremy who never seem to get over being sick. So we have to make appointments to FCHC (Florida Community Health Centres for those of you non Floridians) to get meds. I think I have bronchitis again. My lungs aren't even taking in 50% of their total capacity so I am having a hell of a time breathing. And ephedra has been taken off of the market and that is the only over the counter product that helps me out. So a few people had a heart attack or a stroke. Sorry about your luck, I can't beathe, give me my drugs. It sucks though because the last time I went to Stella (my kick ass doctor) with bronchitis, she gave me a bunch of stuff that was just horrible. Not really. I got liquid codiene (gotta love narcotics), some amoxacillin (another great alternative to penicillin), and some sort of little pill that I think was progesterone or something of the like. In short it was a steroid to open my bronchial tubes. The only draw back, it made me grow hair in places hair shouldn't grow since it was a steroid. So I get to look forward to getting my eyebrows done probably once a week for the next month or so after I get done with treatment. The only problem with FCHC is they require proof of employment if you are working. I am working, so is Jeremy, but we dont' have proof. We get paid under the table. The only one of us that has proof is Blas, since he owns the place. It is good in a way since we will only have to pay like 15 a visit and all of our meds are free. They just ask for proof of unemployment, which I don't understand. We wouldn't have a W2 since we aren't working. Then they ask for a bill or something as proof of address. If we aren't working, how would we get bills in our name? We have no way to pay them. I guess a bank statemnt would work, but then they would see the money coming into it and wonder where it comes from if we are unemployed. I really don't understand doctors half of the time.
All I know is I feel like a royal pile of poo. I can't stop coughing, my stomach still hurts pretty bad, and I can't stop sweating. I can't seem to cool down enough. I know I shouldn't have skipped my NyQuil last night. Or my vitamins this morning.
I hope all is well with everyone, and I'll catch you all later!

ARGGGG FRUSTRATION!!!!!!
Well, my laptop has officially gone to the big computer playground in the sky. And I can't get an apple account because the lenders are bitches. So I am computer less unless I can get a few grand from my boyfriend's cousin or sell my shit. Oh well. I'll talk to everyone later and check sites.

Hugs,

So much for working Tuesday :(
Ok, I didn't work Tuesday, but thanks for all of the well wishes of business!
I was pissed, I wanted to work yesterday. But because we had to take two of the boys to the doctor yesterday Blas said it wasn't even worth coming in. We got out at noon or so. That was five hours we could have been working on something at least. I mean, he could have gotten the box and amp rack done for this guys car and we could have called "hey, come get your car and pay your balance", but no. He is finishing it today. He should have ordered a bunch of stuff too; like we don't have the radio for an install we were supposed to do today. The man was cool about it, but it still is a pain to make an appointment and have it cancelled because the owner of the shop didn't take the time to get your stuff in. A friend of mine was supposed to come in today too, but we don't have the wire kit for his radio. At least he bought his radio and speakers already because we don't have much of anything in stock. Not only that, we have about six or seven amps that need to go back to Palm Beach but we can't get ahold of our guy to do it. Hell, his wife just had a baby last week so I think he should have time to rest and spend time with his baby girl,but that is just me. Just for furture reference, for those of you that are into car audio, don't get a Mmats amp if you plan to really be hard on it. At least four of those six or seven amps that have to go back. We have them all stacked behind the counter and it looks really bad on us to have all of that to be sent back for repair.
Ok, enough shop talk. I am sure you wanted to hear me do nothing but bitch about car audio. I just don't have any other outlet other than my father. And as a former business owner all he really tells me is that things will get better, and the first year will really tell you if you are going to make it or fail. Well, it has been open for a few years now. But this management hand over will really be the challenge. Why do I have to be the only one here that is good with money???
I hope all is well with everyone. And thanks for 11 hugs, lol. I am sorta happy that we took the day off. Even though half of my day was spent in the doctors office with a hyper active 7 year old and a cranky 18 month old. I felt like such a wuss. He had to get a couple shots and I had to leave the room because I couldn't stomach the needles. My arms even hurt thinking about needles. Especially the spot where I had my IV from my last dentist visit. Yeah, they can't calm me down so they have to sedate me so they can work on my mouth!
Anyway, I got pretty far in my Final Fantasy VII yesterday. I had forgotten to save some stuff last time I played apparently, and had to re-beat Gi, but it was all good. I spent like an hour and a half leveling up my characters so now they are getting pretty powerful. Then spent another hour searching for and getting robbed by Yuffie. I know there is a certain sequence you have to go through to get her on your team, but unfortunately she doesn't like what I say and takes 600 or 700 Gil from me at a time. It doesn't matter because I have so much, but it's still a pain in the ass. Now I am back to Cloud's home town and stuck in the mansion trying to get into that damn safe. I know it doesn't really matter if I get in or not, but I'd still like what's in it. I think it gives you some sort of materia to summon something if I am not mistaken. Because the last time I went through there I didn't get that and Jenova wiped my ass all over the place. If anyone has any helpful hints on how to get past that part, if you know what I am talking about, please let me know. Because I will get my ass wiped all over the place again I know it!
Ok, time to make pretty around here. It looks like a train wreck in here.
Love, peace, and chicken grease! (has anyone said that since 1997??)

Howdee Ho
Well, I'm at work and we are really slow today for some reason. Usually Monday's are really busy.
Sorry I haven't been checking on anyone lately, but I have been super busy. Just chilling here at work and getting paid for it, then coming home tired as hell since I have to get up at 6AM every morning. Something I haven't done since high school three years ago now. I haven't even had time to work on my final fantasy VII.

Ok, hope everyone is ok. And as my dad says, keep on keepin on~

   Buh
Lookie Lookie!!! I got a new keyboard so I can do my a's and as much !'s as I want!!!!! Whoo hooo!
Just thought I would tell you that, lol.
I start work tomorrow...fun fun fun. I'll be answering phones tomorrow, but I'm going to get Dave to explain to me all of the paperwork and such when he gets back from AudioAmerica in the afternoon. I have so many ideas for the shop, and unfortunately, I am the only one who is actually smart with money. Like Blas and Jeremy didn't even think about keeping like $1000 in petty cash at the shop at all times so making change is easy. Or didn't even think about instead of just dividing up what is left over after bills to make payroll to save some money so the shop would actually profit. I think I was a wakeup call last night when I told them that the way they were planning sounded like they would fold the shop within a matter of months.
I have too many ideas for my own good. Just as long as I get to keep everything organized like I want. Now all of the papers are just scattered everywhere. We also need to get a good start and get a checking account started for the shop so we could start taking credit cards again instead of just checks and cash. This is going to be such a learning experience. They will do the work while I get to be the money girl. Or at least I can try to tell them that they are fucking something up with finances. Oh, well. It isn't my shop. At least I will be getting paid steadily every week now. I can get my puppy dog! Or a bird. But it is too cold right now. I want to wait for summer before getting an animal. Especially a chihuahua (sp?). I don't have heat in my house, so my only form of refuge is my little electric blanket, which keeps me nice and toasty. Well, my puppy and I could hang out on the electric blanket. I want a teacup chihuahua (similar to Paris Hilton's), a female, and I have decided to name her Milkshakes. I know it isn't normal to pick a name before you get the animal, but I like the name Milkshakes, darnit!
Gonna go get toasty again. Very very cold.

Well, I now have a job at Playtime Audio as a secretery, so all of you in Florida near Okeechobee, stop by and check out our audio stuff and maybe buy something for your car so it will be kick ass :D
Alrighty. I just wanted to say hello. I'll try to check everyone's sites this week since I can do it at work!

Well, I sorta figured out how I am going to deal with letters being messed up. Copy and paste my a's. Yes, my typing speed will go down, but I get the use of a. I've gone McGuiver (sp??). So I just need to find a page with the letters I need so I can just move them to my posts. I guess I learned to gh etto stuff, lol.
after bitching through most of yesterday about not having work, Blas decided that I will be a house wife. That is going to drive me mad. I wish to work so when I see beautiful things I desire, I will be able to buy them. I don't like seeing beautiful things that I can't have :(
Ok, off to play wifey.

Laters guys,

hello XD
This blows. I just noticed tht I cn't chnge my font sie becuse of my keys not working right.
Oh, well. I m not sure of the problem to be perfectly honest. From wht I cn tell, none of the kitties got to the cords or nything. I hve two bums for kitties nd one kitten running round no where ner the compy, so I've come to the conclusion tht it is just relly old. It looks like something from the lte 90's tht wsn't properly tken cre of. So until I cn get new keybord (or hopefully get new compy) I'm stuck looking like I grduted high school nd went to college for journlism for nothing.
I'm going to try to get to everyone's site's tody, if you don't mind me leving messges with my screwed up spelling. Or I cn try to use vocbulry with few letters missing. Do you think I cn do it? LOL
Yuck. The sugr in my drink didn't mix. Sorry. Thought you might wnt to know.
Ok, will visit sites now nd wtch CNN for while.
Lters.

::yawn::
I hope everyone had a happy and safe new year. I want to put an exclamation mark, but my one key isn't working. Grrr. Piece of shit keyboard.
I want to apologize for not getting to other people's sites. Nearly every site on myotaku freezes this computer because it is a piece of crap. But it works better than my lap top, which isn't functioning at all.
Ooh. The bee girl from No Rain. The girls I used to work with at the theatre said I was the bee girl. Sorry, watching I Love the 90's on VH1 (ok, so the other 1 key works). They are on 93 right now, so I remember a lot from this. It just makes me feel really old. Not really, but seeing some things on there, and thinking "holy crap, it's been over 10 years since that came out." Similar to a reality check. Like when my best friend and I realized that we have been attatched at the hip for over 15 years. I am in my early 20's. I am supposed to be having too much fun to be thinking about getting old. I just feel much older sometimes.
Ok, about the wolf pup, it was gone when I called about it. So much for that. But I talked to Ronnie on Friday and there should be another litter of pit pups about ready to drop, so maybe we'll get one of those. We need to go to the bank to talk to someone about getting a loan so we can buy that house. I also need to get my car back to the dealership so they can take care of some of the recalls that were issued for my car. If you have an older Caviler (mine is a 98), take it down to the dealership to get it checked for anything that has been recalled because they will fix it for free since it was a factory fuck up. It could save your ass later.
My cat is sitting next to me snoring.
Ok, I am wondering about people's new years resolutions. Mine is to get a decent grasp of spanish by next year and possibly go back to mass at least once a month. So how about you guys? Oh, I am also setting a goal to try to get a job by next month.
I am not feeling too hot (if you are in the Okeechobee area, don't eat Joey's pizza). So I'm going to take a nap and play some more dragon uest later.
I'll catch everyone later. Bye (enter exclamation point here)
