I think the summer is just about over. I can’t say that I’m too happy about that. I didn’t get to do anything that I had planned. I can’t complain too much though, because the summer was safe and fun. Now that the cold season is getting ready to return, my best friend and I have been talking about some possible trips that we can take next summer. At the top of our list are places such as Hawaii and the Caribbean. I’m not sure if she wants to fly or go on one of these popular cruises. Either way I’m dying to go on a cruise eventually.

My Internet has been acting really shady lately. I’m not sure what the problem is. Naturally when the Internet gives you problems the first thing you do is blame your wireless router. I notice that not only does my Internet act weird, but so does my telephone. My VOIP has been acting up for the past couple of days and it’s so frustrating. Sometimes it will stop working for more then ten minutes. For that reason I definitely know it’s not my wireless router. The wireless router wouldn’t cause the telephone to have problems. So, I guess it’s the cable company. I apologize to my Netgear wireless router for thinking it caused my problems! Netgear has always been great to me!

I’ve blogged a few times about how bad I suffer from arthritis, but I can’t even begin to explain to you guys how bad the pain is. As a matter of fact, I’m having a lot of bone pain right now. I could never imagine how much pain arthritis causes until I began to suffer from it. Unlike most people, I’m only in my early twenties, so it’s especially difficult to be in this much pain when you’re trying to live your life. I’m always looking for the new osteoarthritis relief medicine that can make me feel better. I really don’t wish this kind of pain on anyone.

I was browsing AOL like I usually do, and I came across this interesting article about painkiller addiction. It says that people in the United States are living in a world of pain and they are popping pills at an alarming rate to cope with it. The amount of five major painkillers sold at retail establishments rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005. I’m really not at all surprised by that. I’ve recently been suffering from an illness and honestly, pain pills are my best friend. I would not say that I’m addicted to them, because I haven’t been taking any prescription painkillers yet. However, I’m up to about 8-10 pills in an average day. I only stop taking them because I am aware that I can become addicted. But sometimes the pain really is too much to care.

I was just on my personal site complaining about wanting to lose weight and get healthier. For a lot of people the whole notion of getting in shape is an easy one. I’m not one of those people. Dieting and exercise doesn’t really come easy for me. Granted I haven’t really tried to create a diet regimen for myself, but still. I hate when people tell me to be patient, that I’ll lose a few pounds eventually. I hate even more when they follow that by saying, “you didn’t gain them all overnight, you can’t expect to lose them over night”. I do expect to lose them over night! Isn’t there some kind of diet patch that can help me do that? I need to get my hands on it NOW!!!
