Officially Grounded!

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on August 25, 2010 by dianaswonderworks

Well, sorry about the lapse yesterday, it was an adventure. Got up and got all ready to go job hunting. I got online and filled out some applications and sent out resumes. So, after filling out all those, I got ready to leave. I went out started my car and the first thing I noticed was that my battery light was one. It hadn’t done that before and I just replaced my battery within the last year. So, I thought that was weird, then I backed out of the driveway, and then proceeded to go forward, and all of a sudden the car started making rattling noises, like a chain clanking in the transmission. That scared me, so I took my foot off the gas and it stopped. I got to the stop sign by my house and thought well I will take it into the shop again. I turned my car in the direction of the shop and as she wound up to shift gears, it started winding up and up and never shifted, then the rattling sound came back. At this point I got really scared, so I turned back into my sub-division, and continued to the house. I got home and woke up my room mate to have him check it out.

He got out of bed and went out to check the car all the way saying, she was running great when I brought her home from the repair shop yesterday. He had said that to me, and I emphasized the point that I had not driven her since she was brought home, till that very morning and she wasn’t acting fine at all. So, he checked her out, drove her down the street a little and became very concerned. Once home we called the repair shop to tell them what was going on. He gave us the number of a towing company and said he would pay for the tow. He said he would look at it and see what damage was caused by his shop and take care of that as well as see if anything else was wrong with her. An hour later the tow company came and when they took her onto the truck, my driveway was covered with oil and radiator fluid! Sorry to say, I think he had his work cut out for him. I am certain the young man who actually worked on it, did not have a good day yesterday and maybe not today either. The moral of the story is I am officially grounded, no jobĀ  hunting, nothing proactive to do right now to fix the mess I am in. Now it is all about a waiting game, so no excuses today I will do some artwork, while the opportunity is here!

No lottery winnings as yet, need it more than ever. Keep your fingers crossed, I am not turning down a miracle at this point. for sure! Hoping your week if fairing better than mine is at this point, it would make me very sad indeed to know anyone else was, going through this as well. Have a happy day, sending you my love, Diana

The Hermit’s Day Off!

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , on August 22, 2010 by dianaswonderworks

Well, today the hermit took a day off. I was actually social today and went to go visit my friend Sherry and her husband, Charlie! It was nice to get out of the house and hang out with some one besides myself for a change. Getting used to being all alone at home is going to be strange for sure, but I have every confidence that once I have a job and a busy working it will be less of a strange thing. We ate, a change for me, right now my belly is so full, I feel sick. Not used to having so much food in one day. Guess that is a compliment to the chefs, they both cooked today. Excellent food and even better company. We watched the movie Furry Vengeance, it was really funny, we laughed a lot! Charlie missed some it, it seemed a nap was what he wanted today. Which is all good, we should all do what we love, when we have time off! For breakfast he cooked pancakes, and for dinner Sherry made hamburgers and fries, plus home made pickles. I am stuffed to the gills!

I am home now, and bound and determined to get some artwork done. Concentration has been in short supply, due to all the stresses lately. That really stinks for me, art is my only real outlet, so I need to be able to relax enough to work. On the other hand not too much, so that I feel exhausted and want to fall asleep. Last night was full of fitful dreams, and many moments of wakefulness. Which means today I am tired already and it is still early! Got to tough it out, way too early for bed, and too late for a nap, since this will only ruin tonight’s rest.

On a lighter note, no lottery windfalls this weekend, and tomorrow, my car will go into the shop ( gas leak fix and oil change). I have today’s newspapers to do some job hunting tomorrow, and get ready to hit the streets on Tuesday. Got to get a job asap! Still hoping for the factory job I went to for an interview earlier this week. Not that I love factory work, but I do love the pay-scale there. It would work comfortably with the bills I have here. So, pray hard it works out for me there, and the rest is just to keep me busy! Hopefully, they will call tomorrow and I can start on Tuesday, what a a relief that would be for my nerves. Still fighting them, the anxiety comes and goes. Right now, I am feeling anxious, so I have to get myself under control again, that will work for a while and then they crop up again. But, it is getting better everyday, so far. The main key is getting to work, so it will go away for good! Hope you had a pleasurable weekend, sending you my love, as always, diana
