I'm mel l l l t i ; , ...
The heat has not ceased
The humidity has not returned
The sun does not rest
And the clouds do not relieve
Summer in TX... sucky!
I wish I was the kind of person who had the money to just take off and go to a cooler clime. I wish I had that kind of time and resources and acquaintances I could go and visit and get some cooler weather for myself and relax. But alas and alack... I do not. :/
So back to melting I go...
Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to melt I go
The sun is hot it's frying me
In tempura and shrimp scampi
Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho...

Finding my voice...
Well I should say, it's finding itself again.
For the past 2 wks or so I've been getting over a cold of sorts. It started out as all colds do with a sore throat. Then it developed into fever etc etc and snotty nose syndrome and all the fun things you get with a cold.
Once I got over the worst of it, my voice was still not back. Usually that's the first thing back but nope... it just wouldn't come back and my nose refused to stop running. I think the switch broke in the back boiler and it was running over the levee. ;P
Anyhow, it's stopped running finally and my voice seems to be normalizing to it's usual sound. I'm just glad it's returning. I can finally sing to my favorite songs again w/o cracking or having to sing so low I sound odd. :P
Other than that... it's been hot hot and more hot. It's already stage 2 for local water restrictions which luckily doesn't bother me since I don't own a yard or plants. I just worry about my own showers and stuff... not like they can make us NOT use water indoors. :P
Made some new art... check it out here: [ Zazzle Shop ]. Have a few patriotic items for 4th of July aswell. Take a gander and let me know what you think!
So while I'm finding my voice again and trying not to melt into a pool on the sidewalk between here and my car, I am just dealing and wondering if I get to go home for Father's Day. I might have to work since we lost an employee to another job. My folks want to come up instead but if I'm working that's sort of a moot point. I wont' be able to spend any time with them if I have to go in. :P
Been laminating like mad... or as I told one of my co-workers, it's "Lamimadness." ;) My sign skills at work. w00t!

Not a great title but basically I'm getting over laryngitis / pharyngitis. Same thing I think but it was not fun.
I woke up Monday with a bit of bleh... then Tuesday I had the worse sore throat ever so I went to the dr / physicians asst since I don't really have a dr. She thought I had strep but it came back negative. Plus I did the strep test on myself since it wasn't working having the nurse do it. So I now know I can touch my tonsil if I look in a mirror with a flashlight and poke them with a long qtip as you do for the test. LOL
So wednesday I felt bad and took half a day... and thursday I was too sick to go in so I took off. Had a 101 fever at some point and by Friday it broke. Only really got a high fever for a bit on Thursday then it broke by the next morning. So I went in on Friday but I was still so weak and without much of a voice I went home an hour after I got there. I felt badly about that but it was that or feel worse. So I went home and on the way got some food and meds at the corner store and then rested at home.
Today I had to do laundry... went by the Japanese store before she closed and got some snacks. Then I stopped at Dollar tree to get some stuff and also then did laundry. I also stopped by Target and got a new pillow cause my old one is stinky. I may find a way to use it for something... not sure what.
bleh... keep hacking and hacking and feel like crap. Need to go to work tomorrow or else. :( Anyhow... that's my exciting time. Illnesses suck.

ZOOOM!
Well not quite... it's still a mini van but it's much faster and easier than the other one. It seems more mellow though but has a bit more pep in the engine dept. Brakes work great but my dad told me I should pump them alot and not just hold the brake pedal down cause he said they stuck on him a few times when he was going down or up big hills.
I just need to get the title for the old van and then I can call "Pick N Pull" to come yank it up for a bit of cash. Better than getting it fixed or trying to sell it to someone. I just don't have the time. Also need to move all the junk I use in the old one to the new one and figure out where to put it all. Already told the insurance I was adding this one so I have 30 days to get the other one gone and add this one permanent.
Was a nice weekend with the folks. We went out to eat Friday evening aswell as Saturday night. Saturday evening we made it to Red Lobster. I had an appetizer for my meal called a Lobster pizza. Was not half bad. Definitely pretty good for a pizza with shellfish. :D
Noticed a ton of birds in the trees that hang over from the neighbor's house. I saw a red headed woodpecker, something like a purple martin or similar bird and lots of others I can't think of the names of. Even caught a nice pic of a little squirrel running the electric wires. I'll post them when I get a chance in Flickr or else my photobucket. Check my site if you don't know where they are.
Other than that... good weekend over all.
