HUNGER!!!!

Katniss

Chelsea and I cobbled enough together to get three tickets to the Hunger Games tonight. Sweet! I have to pick her up in a few minutes, then come home and start dinner for later. Rice, kielbasa and Manwich meat. I have buns if they want to make them into sandwiches. I will let you all know how good it was. The fucking new girl that does accounting screwed up Fred`s check twice already and we had to skip going out to eat. Dinner home is okay. I bought groceries.
Okay gotta go.......zoom!

MockingJay Monday and Fibro Flares and Reflections

European Robin red breast

*266*
 I finished MockingJay last night at 330am. So I am done with the Hunger Games series. It was very good. I liked it very much. I also like how it was wrapped up nice and neat. No loose ends. I do not like who had to die but somethings have to happen to move a story along. Now I have Wolf Gift by Anne Rice to read. I am going to start that tonight. It is a new library book so you only have a certain amount of time to read it before you have to bring it back. I am back to loving to read.
   It is chilly out today. Lots to talk about so this will be a jumbled post.

   I was thinking of doing that yard work I was talking about but brrrr! I want to do some Spring Clean-like stuff but I do not know what. I could clean out the food pantry. It needs to be emptied, wiped down, and organized. I also have to clean the damn fridge. You would think scientists would figure out a way for the box to clean itself, huh? I really dislike my life of domesticity but what ya gonna do? I just do not want to do anything. I am not depressed. I am starting my Spring time Fibromyalgia flare up. Happens with every drastic seasonal change. Summer into Autumn and WInter into Spring. Or I just took a fucking stupid pill. The bad hormones have worn off and I am just me. But I am still stupid.  This will last until it stays a steady 60 degrees out. Then I will be fine until October. So if I sound stupid, or cannot form sentences correctly, or get frustrated..you know why. I have lost my mind and my coordination temporarily.
   Fred told me that we may be getting a very BIG flat screen tv in the not to distant future. His god mother is going to be buying a larger one for her husband and is giving us the one they already have. I think Fred said it was 46 inches. We are going to have to re-arrange the living room if that is the case. And I will have to call the cable company to come move the wire. Holes will have to be drilled. But I want that TV! 10 years ago when tube TVs were still in fashion, I bought Fred a 26 (32? i don't know) TV for the living room when I got my first check from Social Security. We never had a TV that big, ever. He was thrilled. Now people have TVs so big they would not even fit in my house!  46 inches! I cant even imagine it!  If it happens, I will definitely take a picture!
 I have to ask a serious question to myself. I thought going number 2 once a day (sometimes twice) was normal. Now that I am drinking the orange sludge, I am on the crapper at least 4 times sometimes 5 times a day. WTF? Is it necessary for me to shit THAT MUCH? I have things to do. I have places to go! I have to take Chelsea to New Haven on Friday for a job interview and I am worried about having to go. That is not normal. But I will continue to drink that crap because if I do not, the gastro will say I am non compliant. I do not want that. He will give up on my ass .And that would be a bad thing.
Now on a serious note. I have to talk about something that pertains to some friends of mine.
 I am very conflicted about something. I have been called out as being not caring to others in some situations. That I have changed the subject TOO SOON in conversations with a group of friends. The gist of the entire group is to change the subject on a constant basis. We actually laugh about it. But I guess I have been lax in paying attention. I am sorry that I have not allowed others the spotlight that they deserved. It will never happen again. You have all given me what I needed and I have not done the same for you. I get it. I am insensitive.  I need to just walk in and be absolutely quiet. Do not answer anyone's questions for fear that I might piss somebody off again. Or I could just walk away for some serious reflection.  I really have been  thinking that  I may just  step away for awhile...or all together. I do not know yet. I dislike that I have been wrong but I also dislike that I now feel that I have to walk on egg shells.
We shall see.

Okay, I have had my coffee and it is time to do something around this Pit. Toodles

I have been busy....

I have been taken over by a Young Adult series of books, The Hunger Games Trilogy (Hunger Games, Catching Fire, MockingJay).  Natalie and Chelsea have read the three books back in December. I bought the first one for Natalie for Christmas but it never got wrapped. The next week I bought the next two because THEY HAD TO HAVE THEM! LOL
 Then they bugged me about it. You have to read it. The movie is coming out in March. You have to read it. I had lost my reading way awhile back. I used to be a vorocious reader back in the day. Not so much anymore.
 So I decided I was going to finally read it but Natalie could not find book one in her room. So I went out this past Friday and picked up a copy. I read a little bit on Friday. Then I read a bit more Saturday afternoon. Then I got all my work done, had dinner, and read the rest of it. I finished at 5am Sunday morning. It has grabbed me so hard and shook me. I am rooting for Katniss and Gale! Or should it be Katniss and Peeta? I cannot decide.
I started reading book two (Catching Fire) last night. But I decided I was going to get some sleep. So I ended on Chapter 12 at midnight.  Since today is a holiday and nothing much to do, I will do some laundry and finish book two and go onto the final book in the Trilogy, MockingJay.  The movie comes out March 23, 2012.

Other then that, I have been paying bills, trying to clean house (bloody dog), and wishing for Spring. I bought some super thin asparagus at the store on Friday. I roasted it with olive oil and sea salt last night. Oh so good. I love it. And it does make me think that Spring is coming. Even if it is cold out today.  I have paid for our plots at the community garden this year, $20 for the two. I am going to build herb beds on the back patio this year. And slowly build veggie beds in the front of the house all spring and summer. Then in the fall, I will fill in with compost. Next year, I will not need the community garden anymore.I want to can much more foods this year. Not just jam and pickles. I want to grow several plum tomato plants in utility buckets out front. Then I am going to make and can tomato sauce. Lots and Lots of tomato sauce. I have to purchase another metal shelf for here so I can store all these canned delights also.
That will come when it comes.
I wish I could be a successful seed starter.
