ADDvance - Is your Daughter a Daydreamer, Tomboy or "Chatty Kathy"?

I was definitely the 'Chatty Kathy', except that I wasn't popular with the other students around me. I was known as Motor Mouth by my elementary school-mates.

ADDvance - Is your Daughter a Daydreamer, Tomboy or "Chatty Kathy"?

Came in late

Last week, I came up with a new game plan where my alarm is concerned. I set it to 5:20, allowing for one snooze before getting up. That gives me a half-hour to get ready and get going. I really need 40 minutes, however if I set the alarm to 5:10, I'll snooze it until 5:30. I figure that I might as well work with that, since I tend to sleep until my absolute latest time I have set for myself to get up. If I sleep past 5:30, then I have to cut stuff off of my morning routine. Oh, well.

Trying to get caught up

I just got my Facebook notifications caught up.  Whew!  That took a bit of time.  I had messages from last year out there that I never saw.  And I got all of those blasted game requests turned off, or at least set them to not notify me.  Those were a pain.

Still working on my article that I would like to submit to ADDAdvance.  I'd like to get a good deal of it written before I go to bed tonight.

Today

I woke up today with my foot in the worst pain.  I guess I slept with my foot in the wrong position or something. Or, it might have something to do with my outer calf muscle - fibula, maybe - which has been bothering me over the last week.  I had planned on cleaning my room but since I can't stand or walk without having to balance on a cane, that was shot.  I instead continued my tech PDF downloads, so it's not all bad.

Sunday

Yesterday, I did some picking up around the apartment.  I also downloaded a lot of PDF books, which was my goal for the weekend, so I'm happy.  Also washed two loads of dishes.

I had slept in a bit, not getting up until 9:30 or so.  Duv fed the cats, but made a big deal of mentioning it to me, since it's my 'job' to do so.  Pisses me off.  I don't think that he'll ever get to the point of things being 'family'.  It's constantly 'yours' or 'mine', never 'ours'.  It's been seven years since he's been in his old lifestyle, homeless, yet he still hasn't walked away from it.

Saturday

I took my nieces to Irving's aquatic center, which is practically across the street from them.  Nearly 7-year-old Alana screwed her courage up and went down the water slide, three times.  I even went once, getting water up my nose on the landing, which I absolutely abhor.

After the water park, I went to Macy's for a shoe sale.  After Sharon waved a pair in front of me that I couldn't much resist, I made the trip up to Lewisville to look for them.  Got an extremely good deal: two high-end shoes, including Steve Madden's for $57.00 and change lol.  I think that the salesman, Mir, was hitting on me.  He made a point of telling me his name and saying that he hoped to see me back.  Spent the rest of the day running errands.  Didn't make anywhere near what I wanted to on the tech books I sold to Half Price.  However, I knew that I would never get around to selling them on Craig's List or eBay so I went ahead and sold them there.  I just hate that I spent $200 on those books.  I didn't find out until some weeks later that a contractor at work had just about all of them on PDF.  I would have definitely gone that route and used that money for something else lol!  However, what's done is done.  It probably would have been wasted on something, so it doesn't bug me all that much.
