Nervous Week Ahead…

It’s almost 11 at night and I’m about to make some tea and watch a DVD or something. I’m kind of bored, but I’m not really ready to go to sleep yet. I’ll probably go to sleep around 1 in the morning though because I have to get up early tomorrow with my mom. Tomorrow she has to go to take a bunch of tests. She has to go to the cardiologist for blood work to see how her heart is doing. I’m nervous about that because she’s been in pain a lot lately. One time when she went to get blood work done her heart was racing so fast she needed emergency assistance. They didn’t even want to release her after the tests were over. Ugh.

But yeah, tomorrow after she finishes with the heart doctor she has to go take a physical for work. I’m not sure how that’s going to go. On Thursday she has to go back to the heart doctor to get the results of her blood work. I think I’m more afraid of these things than she is. I always worry so much that she’s going to get bad news. I probably wont sleep until Friday. And that’s if the news isn’t bad.

It’s Not Completely Dead…Yet!

I think I finally got my mom’s computer working good. It’s not as good as it used to be, but it is running a lot more efficiently since I performed a PC restore on it. Doing the PC restore was not easy, let me tell you! When I did it on my computer it was quick and painless. However, since her computer is an older model and operating system the process was different. I had to restore her PC to factory settings using the CD instead of the Dell image thing. That meant once the computer was restored nothing worked. Ugh.

I had to go to different websites and download drivers so that simple things like the audio could work. I didn’t  have to do any of that with mine. I’m glad I was able to figure things out though. All that’s left to do now is to buy her an external hard drive for all her music. She has so much music and it wont all fit on her internal hard drive. I also want her to have an external hard drive so that I can back up her important files in case the computer goes crazy again!

A Place In Pennsylvania…

One of the places that I would love to move to most is Pennsylvania. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always wanted to live there. My Goddaughter currently lives there with her mom (my cousin), so it would be great to move closer to her. Where I live in New Jersey really isn’t too far from Pennsylvania so I could move there and still be close to my family that lives here. I don’t think I’d want to live in the same city as my Goddaughter. She lives in a very secluded place where you have to drive if you want to get around. That means I’ll have to learn to drive or stay home all of the time. Blah.

I would like to move to a part of Pennsylvania that has more things going on, but not somewhere known to have a lot of congestion. Maybe a town that’s in between her town and Philadelphia. That would be cool. I’m sure a Philadelphia job search would be a lot easier than a job search in the town she lives. That town doesn’t look like it gets much business of any kind.

How Rude!

My family decided to have another impromptu get together today. I’m getting kind of tired of these unannounced visits. To their credit they did call a few hours before coming, but when they called they called to tell us that they would be here soon. The call wasn’t to ask us how we would feel if they came. Rude. I’m not surprised though. They’ve been doing this for years now. I would honestly be surprised if they actually showed consideration for my home. I wouldn’t really mind them visiting every now and then if they didn’t stay so late. They come at around 2 in the afternoon and leave at like 11 at night. Rude!!!

It’s about 10:10p right now which means they’ll probably be here for another hour. How can you stay at someone’s house so late when you know that they have to be up extra early for work. Rude! And every time they come they have to borrow something. My cousin actually asked to borrow our snake to unclog the drain in her shower. Who does that!! What next, she’s going to ask to borrow a plunger for copper sinks. I don’t know what happened to borrowing eggs and sugar. Smh.
