I worked on improving this theme, which made a brief appearance in 2008 during the Presidential Elections, for nearly four years. The theme was originally thought up in 2005 by my nephew and given to me as a MovableType layout in 2007. Except I was getting ready to merge to WordPress then, and, well, we all know that WordPress themes are nothing like the simple layouts we were used to making for the past eight years.
I want to thank everyone who leaves personal support and love for me here. I appreciate it. As for those of you concerned about the personality stealer (which is all that I will refer to her as), I don’t care what she does. If she wants to claim that she and I have the same interests and likes, that’s fine with me. I know that she does not, and in doing so, she isn’t impressing me or anyone out there because I don’t like myself in the state that I am. I feel there is room for improvement and nothing that she says or does will make that any different. It scares me a little to think that she feels that she is a perfect person in mimicking me, and I feel bad for the next person that she pretends to be, but what can one say? I’m annoyed about it a little, and a bit amused, but that is all. Again, thanks for telling me. I appreciate it.
I haven’t been feeling well these past couple of days. I don’t know what it is. I am going to try to clean things up around here and see if I feel any better. I feel pretty bad tonight. Bad enough that I flushed my supper down the toilet rather than eat it. I wasn’t that hungry anyway, and spent a good part of the day trying to sleep. I still feel pretty bad. Back pain. Leg pain. Calf pain. Head aches. I was put on Coumadin a few days ago, and since then I have been a little dizzy. I am thinking of going off of it. I also want to get my act together and see a doctor, even if it is the asshole that I despise, because I need some of my old meds back. I need them to get my life back on track. Or maybe it’s the idea that my mother has been living with us for a year now with no signs of moving out or reconciling with dad? That has always made me feel exhausted because she harps on everything I do, and she can always do so much better than me. On top of that all, she hates Chloe. Yes, she hates her granddaughter for two reasons: One, the girl was born out of wedlock (as if my mother was even married before I was born, and even then, I belonged to another man) and two, I “baby” her too much by getting her a pristine education, won’t let her walk and run the streets at night, and on Halloween I (GASP!) won’t let her trick-or-treat at the registered sex offended (pedophile)’s house! What the hell kind of mom am I, not letting a child who hasn’t hit puberty get molested?!
Okay, I’m being sarcastic and witty. Time to publish my post, close my browser and get to bed!
It was brighter and cooler out today. There is rain on the way. The darker clouds cause a nagging pain in my back, but it was tolerable. I searched for things that I know I will never find. In the darkness, fumbling around, unsuccessful. I have been unsuccessful in working on new projects. I just can’t get inspired to do anything other than sit and look at the projects and wonder why I even started working on them to begin with. What’s the point? The sad thing is that I just have to add some final touches to them and they are done. But I can’t seem to find the strength to do much of anything anymore.
Looking back on the last week, I wonder if I have done the right thing. Then I have a conversation or two with my horrible mother, and I don’t look back. Not on what I did. Not at all.

With the weather getting cooler, and the days getting shorter, I actually have the strength to go shopping and do some work around my house. I’d love to get some favourite fall and winter recipes from anyone who wants to share. I also need some good ideas for mystical fall layouts. I have a really good layout that I have not used in a long time; not as a WordPress layout, anyway. I think the last time I used it was when I was actually hand-coding for Greymatter and MovableType. How long ago was that?? Anyway, any ideas will be appreciated. I know all about Google, but I’d like to have some live feedback from people who enjoy my site. So I am open to tons of feedback on this.
I am posting a photo of my wedding band here. It’s supposed to simulate falling stars and one star for every year Dennis and I loved each other before getting married. I love it to death, even if it doesn’t quite reach to my palm.

My new and improved Fentanyl patch. It’s smaller and I don’t need to apply tape to it, so there’s no itching, no burning, and no crinkling. I can’t even feel it. I love these smaller patches! I may never go back to my old patches.

I found out the hard way that my watch glows in the dark.

Finally, the new fall candles. I love the Autumn Leaves. It really smells like spicy, wet, fallen leaves in the fall. I want to get a bigger jar of it when I can get back out to the candle shop.

I saw some clothes that I want to buy in the next few weeks or so. They’re awesome. I really need to get ready for the trip to New Orleans. Physically ready, that is. I am excited to be going, because that’s where I’m spending my anniversary with Dennis at. Perfect present, if you ask me.
Smile! It’s a beautiful day out! It’s good to be alive.
