I had a bit of a problem yesterday. I know ive bitched about it before here in my journal about the landlord's refusal to do anything to fix whats been wrong with my house. For the last two days i have found water on my kitchen floor. Not seeing where the trouble was i just cleaned it up and went on. So yesterday I thought I would fix some lunch. As I stood at my sink i felt a drop of water hit my shoulder, I looked up and the ceiling had bubbled around the ceiling fan. i touched it gently and knew the ceiling was getting ready to go.
two phone calls and one bad mood later, they finally showed up to look. come to find out the water condensation from the ac wasnt draining out the way it was supposed to. So they cut a hole in the ceiling and drained all the water and fixed it. Ive not turned the ac on yet to see if it held.
what got their attention was i said you have two choices. A. find me a place to live with the same rent. or B. Give me back my deposit so I can move. that they didnt want to hear. So i gave the handyman a list of things i wanted done this weekend. I dont care about his plans. Ive been screaming about this for a year. Ive had enough to deal with.. so this was the last straw.

i got home from physical therapy. one more week. not sure if things are getting better. Once i got in the door, i went straight to the bathroom to throw up. My physical therapist is a wonderful person and hates to push me. But i understand why. Not the first time ive been through this but man, i hate it. Im tired of feeling bad, tired of not being myself. Im not sure where I am or where I want to go. Know that the doctor will probably will go in and break the shoulder loose then have to go through intense physical therapy for a while. Just want it over with.

The first time I ever saw RJD was a very long time ago... It was with mixed feelings for it was when he was put in to fill the shoes of Ozzy in Black Sabbath.. Since those yrs gone bye he has put out so legandary music. I too will miss him...
yes it is sad that he has died but a little unknown fact about him was he was a pagan , wiccan all the way and when he did the horn symbol with his hand it meant 2 gods not the devil . most of his music was pagan based with a heavy metal undertone.
I went up to my mothers and spent the night while she went to the boat to gamble with my aunt. I love the way the land blooms during the spring time. watching the critters scampering around the man made pond on the land. The maple's and ash trees and her douglas fir's, redbud and her river ferns with the callia lily's bloom. it all looks beautiful with the colors.
although my cats hate it when i leave for a short length of time. I usually leave the tv on animal planet to keep them company. I made the mistake of putting it on a infomercial channel.
had to make sure they didnt use my credit card lol.
today is one of my better days i think. let me see how the rest of my day goes. i get back with you :)
In 1970 I was ten years old. A warm new spring day promised that winter was finally over and we were free from the cold and snow that make Ohio winters so long. During that year the vietnam war was in full swing and every night on the nightly news video would stream across the screen showing the military going through the tall grass, looking for the enemy. And military helicopters bringing out the wounded and the dead.
Protesters vehemently opposed the war on a daily basis. Was nothing new about that. The coming summer heat would add to the debate. Lot of folks were tired of it all and just wanted it to be over. Bringing the troops home, depending on who you asked, was neither a good thing or a bad thing. the troops werent welcomed home with open arms. Most of the them were scorned and reviled in most places. Some were so devastated by what they had seen and what they had to do weighed on their minds.
At Kent State, was a normal college with its usual students, Colleges back then were a hot bed of political ideals. The right to a peaceful assembly was practiced on a daily basis. Someone forgot to tell the govenor of the state of ohio at the time that. Jim Rhodes gave the order for the national guard to move on the students.
At 12:24
Shots rang out
When it was all said and done nine people injured and four students dead. One of the students had nothing to do with the protest.
The shooting was hotly debated at my house. My dad agreeing with the action taken. My view was it didnt have to come to that. 40 years later, Bells were rung at Kent State University, The names were read to honor those that had been injured and killed. Those pictures are famous and are a part of our heritage in a time when a war was not popular.
At ten years old, I had seen with my own eyes just what being policital meant. Shooting into a crowd to prove that the only opinion that matters is the one who has the most guns.
Got the verdict. No surgery. He has given me one more month of physical therapy. 2 days a week. Im relieved. The shoulder is progressing, still quite alot of pain, He said it was too early to even think about surgery or cortisone shots. Im going to work hard at pt. I really wasnt looking forward to another surgery, the last one wasnt fun at all. So I can now put my other plans in motion. I found a house that Im going to look at. Its around the corner from this one, still in the historic district but the upkeep is much better than the one I have now. I go look at it Monday. The house wont be ready until june. gives me plenty of time to pack and get things situated.
