Check out my new/ old ride. Aint it just the coolest!@!!!@@!! I can't wait till Sunday to get on this puppy and get it going down a trail and get it revved up and just a hummin' like it should be. Look out cause on Sunday, it's gonna be me and the wind. no one else.

Yes, by georgie... they are gettin her in there.

I'm so happy... I could dance circles around the house as I am typing right now.

She went in smoothly yesterday... just as slick as a whistle.

Today, it's supposed to rain, but who cares... I'm going to be on the phone all day.

Calling electricians and plumbers and what have you.

I can't believe it... She's finally on the lot!!!!!

                                                              

I have dropped school... there was just too much going on in life to handle trying to go to school at the time. But on the good side... I will be going to UVA@ Wise in the fall. AND....they have finally started moving my home!!! YES!! THEY HAVE THE BACK HALF IN AND THE BUILDING IN!!! About time, I say.

I hate that I dropped school, but when your crying and blubbering... something's gotta give.

I do love that they have finally gotten their act together and gotten my home moved into place. Today they are supposed to move in the front half, and start blocking it, and tying it down!!!  

I can't believe that the day has finally arrived. Bob and I can actually start moving in. It's about time, I must say. But the weather has been against us the entire time.

I may actually have a home.    

Spring break was a bust. I may have gotten some relaxation in, but stress was also a factor. That damned house mover didn't get my home moved into the lot. Yes... half of it is sitting on the street and our little building is sitting in the visitors parking, but mind you... the other half is still sitting on top of Coeburn Mountain. On the last good day of dry weather, he was no where to be found. If you ask me... we are getting exactly what we paid for... cheap work. But alas, it's all we could afford.

It may be moved before summer, but once summer gets here, I cannot promise that the man will get his money.

We are having to pay out 1100/mth in rent and mortgage. not to mention utilities.

Wanna know what string I'm on... the last one, the final straw... the end of my rope. I've had it. No matter how much I like these two, I'm almost ready to take out a civil suite against them. Y? for bringing drunken workers on the job site, for the mental anguish caused during this, for disrupting our lives in such a way that I am finding it difficult to live.

What else can I say?  

Cross your fingers, toes, and everything that can be crossed. I'm on spring break.. and the forecast looks clear. I could possibly be getting moved this week. It's taken over a month to get moved, but I'm still hopeful.

If you have encouraging words, send them my way... if you have thoughts of prayer, PLEASE... pray them for my sake...

I want desperately to get moved. We told our landlord here that we would be out by the 15th... today is the tenth... that gives us 5 days to move. Please, if anyone knows how desperate I am... let it show that I'm at my wits end and am praying for miracles. It's supposed to rain Thursday night, and possibly tonight, but not during the day. Let's just hope and hope that something is magically pulled out of somewhere and the home is moved and that I can move into it this weekend or sooner. 

Okay, so I was hung over yesterday.... very badly. So... i drunk toooo much rum the night before. I don't think that I'll be touching drink for a while. that's something that I have to stay away from for a while anyhow. I take too many meds to be drinking anyhow.

but ya know what? i really needed this. I needed to let go of my inhibitions and just be free just for a little while at least until the rum kicked in & and I started getting woozy and then the stomach kicked in. (OF which I was up most of the night w/)

That's what happens every time I drink rum.... and it was clear rum at that. go figure.

I'm just so darned stressed that I needed something to allow me to release my inner me and feel some freedom and sometimes drink is the only way to do it.

Alas, the hang over wasn't any fun. I slept most of the day due to the phenergan that I had to take for my tummy. LOL. But you'll never guess what happened, I got on etsy last night, promoted my shop and I got up this morning to a sale. Something good did happen out of yesterdays relaxation/hang over. I needed that extra sleep and I needed to just kick back. responsible Shannon had had enough of being her for a while.

But it's back to being me today. I've got a very long day at school with biology class and biology lab this afternoon, and spanish tutor and Supplimental instruction in biology (sort of like group study in bio).  I'm not too sure I like my spanish tutor... she's a bit abrasive. But  I suppose that I come off a bit abrasive at times too. But she didn't make a good first impression on me, I'll grant you that which was Friday. Nor has my bio tutor,... I've only been with her once in two weeks.... The rest of the time, she hasn't been here. don't know what's going on there, but I only have her twice a week... the least she could do is show up. Ya know?????

I don't know what we are going to do in bio lab today... it may be videos, slides, or back to the mink... Guess I'll find out. I'm flying with a wing and a prayer today, but happy as a lark. I made that sale.

laterz...

don't you just hate days when you feel like crud and don't want to do anything? (but have this underlying feeling that you should still be doing something productive?)

I'm having one of those days... and man does it really and truly suck. I can't even kick back without feeling guilty about my studies and about not packing up more stuff, and not fixing supper on time... etc, etc, etc...

Ok... so, I'm responsible to default. Y can't I take a break and be irresponsible if only for a day? What would that feel like? What would I do or not do? My mind would go nuts at all the stuff I could get away with, but ya know what.... I'd still feel guilty. Y? because I'm an honest person and wouldn't be able to lie about being irresponsible or doing nothing. I've tried to kick back today, and it's not worked even though I'm sick. I've still sat with my biology book in my lap reading and practicing verbs from my spanish class.

I need a severe break.  

would you believe that after a month, we are still trying to move? I've had to drop a course a school (pre-cal II) and have gotten better grades since, and am in constant wonder if the weather isn't trying to tell us something with this move.

I don't know if I should cry or scream at this point. Everything that we want to use, my beads, my relaxation tapes, my life... is boxed up and in storage bins. While we wait for the weather to decide to snow or be sunny. Then... we have to wait for the concrete to cure that is the footers for the home or they will crack under the weight of such a heavy home.

AAAAHHHHH!!!! :( how about both? I have had to get a tutor in both spanish and bio while I dropped that blasted mth course. Now I'm trying the best that I know how, but gee whiz.... with so much going on, even the cats are getting sick now. That's all I need. I'm having to give 3 of them meds twice a day. Which means run them down in a room, catch them, and give them the goop so that I know that they have swallowed it. If you ask me... they are wondering what the heck is going on too and aren't liking it.

Too much on my plate,... too much in my life,... I'm ready to be committed to the funny farm. Take me now!!!
