I did little today, so to speak.
No laundry.
Little housework (took out the trash, cleaned up ickies on the cats).
Lots of sleep (woke up around 7, but was too dark, slept until noonish).
Sat in front of computer all day.
Tinkered with PDA.
Went back to bed after shower and bowl of cereal.
That's my day!

New Links Added
I updated my blogroll - partially. These are the ones on my desktop, not including any new ones I have on my pda, which I'll add later. there are 7 new blogs on the list, though one of them is a pda page lol. Welcome to the 'roll, and know you're on my always-read list now :)

Day Off Notes
So what's on the agenda on my day off?
Well, seeing as I have to work tomorrow, not much. Laundry's out, though I have to take care of a mess Jadzia made on the bathroom rug - which is sitting outside so it doesn't stink up the apartment. I don't have the quarters to wash it - heck I'm not sure I have enough to catch the bus home tomorrow without raiding the ATM first - so I'll do it by hand and a spray bottle. But that's later.
Now that I have everything worked out on the desktop and the pda, I'm thinking it's time to rearrange my desktop to be more friendly. Right now my CPU is ON the desk, which is handy for inserting my cf card and such, but not really space-friendly. It won't fit into either corner as the shelving sits too low - only by a couple inches on the right side, but too low nonetheless. I don't want to put it underneath the desk, as then that takes away foot space. And into the cabinet below is out as it's not cord-friendly (not good for PDA work). The only other option is on the floor below where it is now, and Nimbus won't like that as it'll almost block him out of his favorite hiding spot, and this being said, will only attract MORE cat hair into my poor box. That's the big advantage of having it up on the desk, it's away from the cats lol. I don't want to put it up on top, as things tend to fall OFF the top of the desk - and wouldn't that be disastrous in so many ways?!? So for now I might have to settle and just clean my desk first rofl. I want to check in on extender cords for the mouse and (especially) keyboard, though now with seeing how well Mr. Cat's new wireless set works (that I bought him), I might even go that route. But that still requires my box be OUT. And would the IR signals from the two sets get confused? I don't THINK they would (as the range seemed to be so slim when we tested it), but I just don't know and ain't willing to risk it. Just right now as my setup stands, I barely have room for the PDA unless I move the keyboard, and the keyboard barely has enough room to move anywhere but on top of the desk. I'm thinking about putting a side-box set in next to the hard drive, but from the floor, at about the level of the keyboard tray that rarely gets used except as a giant mousepad (LOL) for the PDA, as it can't suck in cat hair like the hard drive can and will. But this doesn't alleviate the need for space on the desk. (Then again it doesn't alleviate my typos either - I'm so glad you can't see every keystroke I make right now ROFL!)
Now that my PDA is up and running nice, I have to go through my MortButtons and resort all the programs and games in the two buttons that house those lists respectively. I have them sorted on paper - though I have to make a few minute changes on #2 (the programs button) for a program switch and the two PDA on PC proggies I haven't decided whether or not to reinstall yet. With the keyboard for the PDA and the majority of my work on either that required those programs done, I really don't see much of a use for them. Now if only I could buy a mouse for the PDA. My old PDA KB had one, but it long ago died, and I think it ended up in the trash long ago too. It was like a laptop mouse, just a little ball attached to the keyboard to simulate a mouse. I liked it, but I discovered the hard way that Targus isn't ALWAYS the best brand. I like my StowAway much better anyways, and it even came with its own case (not that it gets used lol). I went through my games button (#3) and wrote down each game on a piece of 3x5 index card (I split each card into 8 equal pieces, as I have way too many to go any less). I then sorted by how often I play and how much I like each game and then sorted from there, so that (once I sort on the PDA) I'll have more easy access to my most frequently played games - not like I have time for entertainment anymore.
I haven't been playing my xbox or gamecube games lately, heck, it's probably been a month or two since I last played either of them. It's not that they lost my interest or anything, it's just that I find myself sleeping more on my days off than anything, and even when I'm not, I'm trying to steal every minute of quiet time I can (right now even the sound of me typing away is too loud, but I can't help that lol).
I've also been contemplating about checking into simultaneous posting of my blog here to MSN Spaces and/or Yahoo360, but that's a part of my past, and up until lately both pages had been deleted - I think my Spaces page somehow reappeared, though back at start-up settings. You guys (and gals) are my readers, and no one over there (in either case) ever paid any real attention to me, so here I stay. Don't worry I'm not going ANYWHERE. I might vanish for a few days now and then (but who doesn't), as I get so tired sometimes or run out of stuff to talk about, but I've put in WAY too much work to this blog to move it. So it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the others might have. So what. It's nothing a couple widgets can't change. And I like the flexibility, something neither of them can claim to have. Some bigger blogs that I read have left the blogger.com format, and fine. But by no means am I big, heck most of you are bigger than me. This isn't meant to be a "popular" blog, just one that gives anyone who stumbles across me a glimpse into me and my opinions (like them or not).
I also want everyone to know that whether or not I comment on your blogs, I do read everyone's blogs, whether it be through my PDA RSS reader, Google Reader (PC or PDA version), or actual surfing. I stay up with all of you, though sometimes I get a day or two behind. You guys warm my heart, give me strength, and remind me of everything I could be, might be, or should be. Sometimes I merely don't leave comments as I'm not in a program capable of doing that, though I usually try to email if I can. But a lot of times (especially on some of my more-recent additions to my roll), you guys and gals just leave me speechless! So, in the midst of so many leaving or moving their blogs, rest assured that not only am I still here writing mine, but I'm reading yours too, and if I have to leave, as I did the last time, I will tell you as soon as I can.
Off I go now, to eat before my food gets cold, and I babble and ramble everyone to sleep!

On The Supreme Court Today
So now the "supreme" court has ruled that you can't execute a child rapist. So in other words, we can't kill those who rob our future of their future unless they kill them. Ok, I understand their fear that it'd lead us down a slippery slope. But where I come from, if you violate a child (or woman) in such a manner, you might as well WISH you were in the cops' hands, because what you were liable to get from the victim's family and probably the entire community would be much worse. IMHO, sex crimes should be permitted to be death-penalty cases if the circumstances warrant. This world doesn't need ANY creep that sees nothing wrong with raping a child. In the very least, if the government can't kill them, at least make them serve their time in GP (general population). There's a few guys in there who are already serving long or life sentences that I'm sure wouldn't mind dishing out a little real justice free of charge. Or maybe make them go through every day what their victim went through. I know, I shouldn't be so vindictful. But we're talking children here. Paws off, Supreme Court.

Once again... an oops isn't always an oops.
I couldn't get a pda proggie to work, deleted it, grabbed a substitute.
Before deleting: 1467mb free (CF Card)
After switching: 1830mb free
hahaha... and I think I got a wee more out of it too. less features, but it doesn't take all day to load either! lol.
now to find a good email proggie... rofl.
just a laugh.

The Effects of a Song
(yes I know I said I'd be back in a bit, but the pda has to work too you know.)
While at work today, this song came on the "radio" - if you can call it that.
I remember growing up with this song on the radio. It was reinforced throughout everything I remember by everyone I remember - if I wanted to be a "big person" I had to "bury it" - not show any emotion at all, and if you succeeded, THEN you were grown up. I understand now they just didn't want us (maybe it was just me) to be crybabies, but the sheer lack of emotion that was permitted didn't give that appearance. I never saw my Mom grieve, except the day of her Mom's funeral. I never saw anything but plainness, even though I KNEW there was other things at play. I always wanted to be just like my Mom, so I learned how to "bury" emotions quite well. NO ONE ever knew I was fighting major depression (something that is very taboo in my family anyways), nor that once or twice along the way I was on the brink of going suicidal. No, most of them STILL don't know that. Very few people know and/or understand how dark my childhood was. Somehow I survived intact (for the most part, emotionally I was shredded by the time I hit my early 20s and had to be "rebuilt" from the ground up). But the song, good as it is, and as classic as it is, makes a very good point. ANY song, game, movie, etc. can leave a deep impression on a young mind if not explained and/or countered by a close adult that can show them the right way.
Just a thought...

Back to the pda.
*sigh*
Ok folks what a day. I will be offline for a few minutes as I attempt to fix the pda again. I know why it was acting up in the first place now.
1. Mobile Inbox does not like storing attachments on a card. So I have to reset again to fix that. But the backup I did after the last one should suffice, so I won't lose everything. I don't THINK so at least.
2. Mobile IE favorites die if you copy/paste favorites into the directory yourself instead of actually going through PIE itself one by one and adding them. That problem was fixed with the last one. Though it turns out I didn't need to hard reset to fix that one. It's giving me the opportunity to update my blog reading list anyways.
So I'm off to eat, fix the pda again, and HOPEFULLY go to bed early tonight. I didn't sleep much at all last night.
Laters folks!
(515 update) Well, so much for that, the backup is fkd up too. But oh well, no big deal. I am not going through that hassle again. I will just find a new email program that works just as well. Maybe I'll actually buy a cheap one (yeah I'm thinking about it). I'm going through my favorites and deleting all the blogs that aren't updating anymore (only from the pda, not the PC MASTER copy), and soon I'll bring in the new ones. I found a couple programs that didn't work but I just needed to reinstall them, then delete the files. I guess I just needed a .dll from the install to get onto the thing's hard drive. Good thing too as they were programs I don't use often but they're quite the handy reference when I need them! So off I go again to continue manually reimporting all my favorites.

Update
Well, when this'll post I don't know as blogger is updating. But as of 720pm I'm done with the PDA and it seems to be where I want it to be. I haven't started sorting through the programs and games to make sure they're all ok, but they're all showing up. I finished about an hour ago, enough time to eat before my shower and sleep. We shall see how well it works, as I will be testing tomorrow more than likely, if not tonight. So I'll let you all know what happens as I know.
Talk to ya'll later.
Talk to ya'll later.
Mobile OFFLINE
Alright folks, as soon as I take care of the laundry (5 min - new washer load and putting current load in dryer), the pda is going offline. Don't worry, first two things to be reinstalled will be my keyboard and wifi card lol. Oh crap I forgot to double verify my favorites. Easy fix er copy/paste lol. Don't worry, worst case scenario, I have my backup lol. I hope this works though.... *sigh* I hate doing it lol, cause after I get everything working, I get to go through every game and proggie and make sure they work. And that's a LOT, games alone 101, proggies 80. *grunt*. Off I go...
415pm update:
Everything LOOKS to be up and running. I do have to switch back to my backup for a minute though as my dumb @ss forgot to backup my contacts and I'm sure my desktop's version is old LOL. But that shouldn't affect me much. Haven't actually TESTED the keyboard yet, but wifi seems to be working, I think I got all my programs up that I should have, and doing this freed up nearly 10mb of space on the device woohoo!! I still have one program I need to reinstall, but I'm debating on it, as I wasn't ever smart enough or had time enough to use it. Another one I'm going to delete as I found a better program that does what it did and more. I'll miss it but in reality I won't lol. I haven't yet brought over the two programs I used to work on the pda from the desktop as both didn't really want to work anyways, so I haven't decided whether or not to keep them on. Other than that I seem to be ok. I'll definitely be back mobile completely by bedtime.

Update
A brief update on what's going on here, especially with me about to go immobile for a minimum of an hour and possibly a lot longer. I'm done going through my pda making sure that all my games and programs are accounted for. I only have two games - which are brand new - and a program, everything is accounted for, and even the unaccounted for are on the device, just not shortcutted where they're supposed to be etc. I still have some sorting to do, some minor file-finding to do, and making sure I have all the exe's I need to install once I do the hard reset. I have to find the cds for my keyboard and the wifi card. But I should start the process this evening hopefully though maybe I'll wait until tomorrow. But I doubt that as I need to do laundry tomorrow and I might hitch a bus up to the other grocery store that I much prefer and try to find somewhere where I can buy monster-erp-Mr.Cat-sized shoes!
I'll keep everyone posted.
I'll keep everyone posted.

Present!
Today I did something I probably shouldn't have, but have been planning on doing for months, probably almost as long as I've had this job. The opening of the new Best Buy nearby made it that much easier to do it. You see, Mr. Cat's laptop has an overtyping issue that is common for his model laptop. It's almost funny because his laptop and my desktop is the same brand but it's only the laptop - and that particular model - that have the issue. So my computer has doubled for a writing computer for a while now, and it's not that I mind, I have a KB for the PDA after all lol. But recently he spilled a little bit of something on his keyboard and now some of his letters don't work (try typing without a P for example lol), and so he had to have a txt file with the letters that don't work in it so he could easily reference it to copy and paste them as he needed them. Well today I stopped in the new store - to check on my application status also - to check their prices out on USB KB's. I found one that was wireless and came with a wireless mouse as well and ran on batteries I carry all the time (AA) at home. I wasn't planning on buying it, but with the good price and the fact it was wireless and nothing I saw online for a decent price was wireless, I decided to splurge and spend the $60 on him. I stopped down the strip mall at a craft store to get some scotch tape and I wrapped it there with today's business section of the newspaper. I didn't know if he'd be sitting out front or in the common area of the apartment when I got home and so I didn't want him to see what I got him - this was an early holiday and very belated holiday present lmao. He went into the bathroom shortly after I got home which gave me time to write him a little note - which he just absolutely adored (I write much better than I speak when it comes to trying to be mushy rofl) - and then taped it onto the box and left to get him a couple things he forgot to tell me to get on the way home. It was better this way as I walked home (oofah I'm sore, too much walking today) and didn't have the wheeled backpack, so my back and neck was hurting with all the crap I was carrying. When I got home, he was out of the bathroom and had read the note. He hadn't opened the present yet or unwrapped it as he thought I was going to tell him what it was. I laughed and told him he had to open it. Seeing how much he enjoyed receiving it and how much he's already enjoying it was so worth the $ I spent, especially considering all that we've gone through lately. It was a small price to pay - the differential $ I made last week for going in so dang early just about paid for it - to see the ONE bright spot in my tight little circle here a little brighter. I can only hope that it works well for a long time, as I don't have too good of a history with electronics. This is why I tend to let him do the gadget shopping unless it involves PDAs lol. Actually he bought me my first one... benchmark that has been used to compare all others since rofl. So today is a good day. Mr. Cat is happy, and that makes me happy. Peace at last - for now.

Brief note
Hello my dear friends. I finally feel like writing a little tonight, so I shall, though I am off to bed as soon as I'm done. I can barely keep my eyes open, but luckily I don't need them open all the time to type lol.
Work has been, well, WORK. LOL... working my rear off for just a little money it seems. My check this week would've been even smaller had I not had differential time AND overtime, so it helped, but still. It's all the taxes and insurance (which isn't much) being taken out that makes the difference.
Other than work, I really haven't been up to much, as I haven't had the energy. Went grocery shopping Tuesday, though I was feeling sick in the stomach for multiple reasons, for lunch foods that I could easily transport. Monday I went with a neighbor on an last minute sorta emergency run to the grocery store merely for cat food and litter, and at that time it was all I could afford - I couldn't find my wallet (I'd forgotten where I'd put it Saturday lol) and was limited to $20 - just enough for 20lb of litter, 18lb of food, and a half gallon of my tea lol (not my brand, but my flavor, but my brand is better I discovered lol).
I am feeling a lot better than I was Tuesday, and to anyone who was trying to get my attention then, I'm sorry. I wasn't giving ANYONE any attention that day. It was just a combination of things striking all at once shortly after I got to work.
I got a car mount for my pda today - to substitute for the impossible-to-find cradle and is working fine (I know I've mentioned it before, hear me out), and am now working on making sure I have a complete list of programs and games and they're all linked right (so I know if I have any I have linked but no files for or vice versa) and my calendar and contacts backed up so I can do a hard reset and get the thing back to factory settings. This will fix all remaining issues I'm having with it, though it will require me to be immobile for a little while, depending on how long it takes me to get back up (though the first things to go back on will be the DST update, keyboard dll's, wifi card dll's, total commander, and cabinstaller). I shouldn't be offline a whole day even, but it will keep me busy for a while once I do it. I'm PLANNING on this weekend, as I'm not doing it on a work night. But I still have work to do before I get to that point, and at this pace it'll be the following weekend before I do it. Just having a "cradle" makes this part so much easier though, and that's half the reason I waited.
Anyways, I am off, as it's almost 9pm and I have another day of work tomorrow, though luckily I have a ride in. The last 2 mornings' walking to work has sucked, though I've not rushed myself and therefore barely beat the clock in. But I'm tired of rushing TO work then rushing AT work all day. I hope all of you are having a good week, and for those of (luckyarsebstrd) you out there who work a NORMAL workweek, happy Friday in advance.
Work has been, well, WORK. LOL... working my rear off for just a little money it seems. My check this week would've been even smaller had I not had differential time AND overtime, so it helped, but still. It's all the taxes and insurance (which isn't much) being taken out that makes the difference.
Other than work, I really haven't been up to much, as I haven't had the energy. Went grocery shopping Tuesday, though I was feeling sick in the stomach for multiple reasons, for lunch foods that I could easily transport. Monday I went with a neighbor on an last minute sorta emergency run to the grocery store merely for cat food and litter, and at that time it was all I could afford - I couldn't find my wallet (I'd forgotten where I'd put it Saturday lol) and was limited to $20 - just enough for 20lb of litter, 18lb of food, and a half gallon of my tea lol (not my brand, but my flavor, but my brand is better I discovered lol).
I am feeling a lot better than I was Tuesday, and to anyone who was trying to get my attention then, I'm sorry. I wasn't giving ANYONE any attention that day. It was just a combination of things striking all at once shortly after I got to work.

Some Thoughts
I remember as a little girl growing up in Kansas darting over to my grandma's during bad thunderstorms. At that young age, it wasn't so much a fear of thunderstorms as it was a safety precaution. We lived on the top floor of a 3 story complex, grandma lived on the bottom floor across the street in another building in the same complex. She had an interior closet that had no windows, not a single outside wall, and plenty of space. If all else failed, we also had her bathroom that was also completely interior. We would usually sit in her living room and watch the storms however, and I never once recall having to run and take shelter in the closet or bathroom. But 1991 changed our comfort zone. It was the first time I saw a tornado, and while it was a good distance away and I knew we were safe, watching the news that night and seeing how much damage that tornado did along its path (it was the same tornado that tore apart McConnell AFB and Andover), I suddenly realized why I heard the term "tornado alley" in reference to the area I lived in. That night as the storms continued to pass, there were some real good lightning shows - if that's what you're into - and a loud, low, vibrating rumble of thunder that made both my Grandma and I jump through our skins and nearly hit the ceiling I think LOL.
Grandma died less than two years later, and as the family splintered apart, Mom and I devised our own safety plans based on how much warning we had. We never had to put them into effect though as after 1993 the weather calmed down a bit. 1999 was different. Not only was it the year that the tornado that changed my life ripped through my hometown, it wasn't just one isolated tornado. There were a couple times that year we had to run for shelter. By this time, we had transportation as I had my driver's license and my car at the time, but trying to drive away from a tornado isn't much smarter than trying to run away from it. It was 1999 that changed my life, changed the way I watch the sky, and changed the way I judge meteorologists.
So tonight as a thunderstorm that is SUPPOSEDLY severe passes by with just a brief heavy downpour and average thunder and lightning, my mind turns back to all the people who live where I grew up. This year has been disastrous for them, both in the record number of tornadoes and the lives lost because of them. The rains haven't stopped in the region either, as Iowa is in danger of becoming one massive lake. There are levees about to breach along the mighty Mississippi, and even large cities such as Des Moines are about to drown in record flood water levels.
I can't imagine what it's like to live through a flood. We had one here a couple years back, but the creek fell as quick as it rose, and it never made it into the apartment - though it sure came close. I can't imagine having so much water that cars are completely submerged, entire houses either underwater or floating away, and entire towns under water. We all will be paying for this severe weather season, both in food prices as a MAJORITY of our corn and soybean come from Iowa and other Midwest states (though Kansas' wheat harvest looks excellent so far) and higher insurance and possibly taxes as corporations and government entities try to recoup some of their financial losses. The greatest costs though are to the survivors who have lost everything - unfortunately sometimes including family members. Children are grieving the loss of parents and pets, parents are grieving the loss of children and other relatives, and the area tries to make sense of what has happened to them. If this is global warming I'll eat my shirt. If we were really "warming", wouldn't we be getting drier? Instead, a lot of the country is in jeopardy of becoming lakes! Maybe it's the "la nina" effect - whatever that's supposed to REALLY mean. The truth of the matter is that our planet is still young when you really think about it. She's still rumbling, changing with the shifts in her crust. There will be changes to come, as our existence here is a mere blink of an eye in our planet's history.
I'm not suggesting by any means we shouldn't do what we can to help nature out. I'm merely saying we're not even majorly to blame for all this. If you go with the Biblical view, it's a sign of the end times. If you just go scientifically, it's just Mother Earth shifting, changing, and adjusting to us humans. We should recycle and reuse as much as we can - what's the use of throwing away that can of soda if we can reuse it in something else? But give me a break, I'm not willing to pay $5 for a loaf of bread so some idiot can make a load of dough on selling ethanol made from corn that some scientists are saying pollutes the environment MORE than our current gasoline does!
So anyway, off I go to relax and try to enjoy a storm - if that is indeed even POSSIBLE for me. I hope all of you are well, and look forward to seeing you soon out there in the blog world. All my hugs to you, my friends. Cheryl, Walter, Katy (wherever you are), Shella, JIP, Andrew, Tom, and the rest of you, be well in your lives, may peace find its way to your heart, and God's shield of safety and security always protect you.
Peace!

Tim Russert Dead at 58
I don't even know what to say. He was tough, but fair. He was one of the few that wasn't biased. He took the opposite side of whoever he was interviewing - not just for a good debate, but to get the facts out. He will be sorely missed, by his coworkers, his family, and everyone who watched him on tv. It is a great loss in the world of fair and honest reporting. Peace to the family and all his friends.
As a side note, please pray for my adopted Mum and her family. Two tornados struck last night near her childrens' residence where I grew up. One tornado was spotted next to where her mother lives, and right now they can't get in contact with her though they know she's ok as they talked to her last night apparently after the storm. She's not in good health and right now her whole family is shaken from this close call with Mother Nature.
I will write more later - when I ain't so tired, worn out, and mentally exhausted. Also got bad job prospect news today, so I have a lot to process.

Which One is MORE Cute?
Nimbus or Jadzia? I'm merely talking in these two 3/4-asleep pictures. NOT as a cat. LOL.

Why can't they make something like this for cats where you stick them in, except the head, and it gently scrubs them, lathers them up, rinses them off, then at least partly dries them?? LOL!
Yes, our pets have us wrapped around their little paws!

Out of Curiosity
I'm letting my spam box on my gmail fill up instead of emptying it every time I am on the PC like I usually do out of curiosity as to how much spam I can accumulate. LOL. Since May 31, I'm already up to 278. Thank goodness it's not in my inbox!

Oofah! The Heat!!
I don't know how many of you live on the east coast of the US - some of you I KNOW don't - but I think every one of us that does would agree on one thing. IT IS HOT - HELLAHOT! It's almost hot enough to make me think I was living in Arizona again! Of course, with this humidity, it'd be the desert during monsoon season, when there's only sporadic rains but constant humidity that makes the already-miserable heat absolutely unbearable. Last I checked the weather, it was ONLY 94... But the heat index was 99 because the humidity is well over 50%. Of course that was a good half-hour ago at least, and for me to try to check now would require a massive feat I'm not about to perform as I'd be getting either scratched for disturbing cats or squishing expensive electronic devices with either my brute weight (lmao) or moisture. With those two clues, I'll let you deduce where I'm at LOL.
It's been so hot this week I'm seriously considering hacking off my hair early and donating it to the adult-cousin of Locks of Love. I really hate to not donate to a kid this time, but I can't take this head of hair all summer if it's going to be THIS dang hot! So I am thinking about going out tomorrow morning and getting it hacked off. I haven't decided yet but with this heat and no end in sight (it's only supposed to get down to like 75 tonight), I don't see much of an option here! It might come down to a matter of life and death as this hair is increasing my body temperature by several degrees and in this heat that can be dangerous. I can't pull it up in a bun or anything because it won't stay and even IF it did, it'd only give me a headache that's best avoided. I cannot risk getting adapted to the Aleve. This is why I tolerate so much pain. If I took a pill every time I ached, I'd be so adapted to every pain medication that I'd be in deathly pain by now. So this is my best option, and it's trained my brain to ignore most of the normal aches and pains. Sometimes instead of numbing the pain it's best to retrain the brain to deal with the pain. Unfortunately, this too is a painful process, but one I have been on for all of my adult life and probably most of my teens as well as I started to realize that my body was adapting to Ibuprophen. Unfortunately my body adapted to Ibuprophen in ANY dosage so I'm already down one pain killer and asprin only works on fevers for me. So that means - luckily - I don't have to use Aleve for that. Woohoo! Luckily even more is the fact that most "fevers" I get are just my body telling me I need to lay down for a while so it can rest, and not a sign of illness.
Anyways, I am off for now... I might write more later, but for now I need to rest. It IS my day off after all! But if anyone has an instant messenger and would like to talk, drop me an email and I'll give you the info you need for whichever instant messenger client you use or would prefer. I'll be near some source of internet (whether PC or PDA) most of the day. Talk soon ya'll!

Did Iranian intelligence infiltrate highest levels of Bush administration?

We'll never know because the Bush administration shut down the investigation as to whether Iranian spies were in Vice President Dick Cheneys's office and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's office. The year was 2003. That's when we invaded Iraq. This is scary as shit.

Defense Department counterintelligence investigators suspected that Iranian exiles who provided dubious intelligence on Iraq and Iran to a small group of Pentagon officials might have "been used as agents of a foreign intelligence service ... to reach into and influence the highest levels of the U.S. government," a Senate Intelligence Committee report said Thursday.Recommendation for further investigation? No, this is where Congress gets involved and we blow this story up.
A top aide to then-secretary of defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, however, shut down the 2003 investigation into the Pentagon officials' activities after only a month, and the Defense Department's top brass never followed up on the investigators' recommendation for a more thorough investigation, the Senate report said.
The revelation raises questions about whether Iran may have used a small cabal of officials in the Pentagon and in Vice President Dick Cheney's office to feed bogus intelligence on Iraq and Iran to senior policymakers in the Bush administration who were eager to oust the Iraqi dictator.

A Note
I'm finally getting a labels section up for this blog, though I've dramatically narrowed it down, mainly for space's sake. I suppose if you really want to get specific you can always do a more detailed search. This just makes things easier for everyone I think. I still haven't labeled the newer posts and will do so soon. It just took me the better part of a week to consolidate what I had already labeled! LOL.

The Recent IA Twister
It's official. The tornado that destroyed so much of Parkesburg (sp?), IA last month was an F5. Click here for the Time Magazine article online. While Greensburg last year was the first one since the May 3 1999 tornado ripped through OK, this now makes the second F5 in as many years. Mind you, Iowa doesn't get as many tornados as us more southern midwest folk are used to. And now they're saying tomorrow's conditions could mirror the conditions in place during the 1974 mega super outbreak that spawned the disaster in Xenia. Just google it. It was one of the worst tornados in history - I'm talking top 3. There was almost an F6 category because of it. So please join me in keeping all the people in the midwest trying to rebuild amidst day after day of storms in our prayers. It's not over yet either... and just as it ends for us, it picks up for those in what I call hurricane alley, as the conditions change there and storms start migrating up. And this is supposed to be a bad year for hurricanes too! Aye, enough is enough!
Day KINDA Off
Today feels like a day off even though it isn't really a day off. I have a meeting in a few hours and I have to catch the bus up there, so I have even less time! LOL but that's ok. I had planned to do laundry today but I just couldn't get my body out of bed this morning - except for when one of my managers - the one who has been taking me into work in the morning - called forgetting I didn't have to be in this morning. Of course in the darkness that IS 430am, I stepped squarely in the water bowl for the cats on the way to the phone! I did get back to sleep after that cold jolt, but woke back up later with an earache. I guess I fell asleep on a lump in the pillow that got my ear hurting bad. It still hurts a tad but not like it did a couple hours ago.
I noticed blogger was lagging like sht last night. My posts didn't go though for at least an hour after I'd written and sent them in. Maybe it was a gmail issue, I don't know. I so rarely post via Blogger's site it's hilarious. The only time I do use it anymore I think is when I am posting pictures lmao.
I got great news last night. One of the original companies I applied for may indeed want me after all! I don't want to get into details but I will call the guy tomorrow as he's off today. If this is the light at the tunnel, I'm diving through it! I can't foresee them making me come in at 5am, and I'd be more willing to stay later as it's the same distance home as from my current job. I'm trying really hard not to get excited, but this may just be the break I've been praying for, so it's hard!
The cats think today is another day off for me, and have treated me as such. I woke up with a Jadzia nearby, and she intended to stay put no matter what. She actually laid on my chest for a while and wouldn't even budge to let her own brother close enough for me to pet. After one of my many mini-arisings through the morning, she decided not to come back and so gave me the chance go give Curzon some attention. After I finally did get my lard@ss out of bed, Curzon decided it was time for some attention of his own, of which I happily obliged. The kitties got some treats too this morning, so they're happy. The only one that hasn't come around for attention is Nimbus and that is quite odd as he's usually the more demanding one on my days off. Maybe he knows I'll be leaving here before too long.
I was going to do laundry this morning as I earlier said, but go figure, even IF I was going to do it when I finally did get up, someone else beat me to it. That's fine, I just did my work clothes Monday, so all is well. It's just unfortunately last night I fell asleep in my favorite pair of work pants - that's how tired I was. It's not that it was a hard day. It's just that after three days off it was a long LONG day, and the more I unwound afterwards, the more and more tired I became. I bet I got double-sleep last night. But I'll need it for tonight and tomorrow morning. I think it's going to be a case of soup for dinner tonight on the way to bed. I just hope this meeting is boring enough to make me want to sleep but not so boring I fall asleep AT the meeting! LOL and no thunderstorms after I get home. I got some heavy sleeping to do as I have to be up extra early tomorrow morning as I have no ride tomorrow. Now watch, I'll be halfway to work and my ride will call the house thinking of me and wake Mr. Cat up. That would just be my luck, so my luck. But thus is the story of my life!
Anyways, off to send this then charge up the pda. Talk later, folks!!!!

Three Days Off... ahhh
I slept the weekend away, almost literally. Yesterday was my day to get crap done, and boy did I. I got my errands done (I was out of tea lol), got 5 loads of laundry done, and went grocery shopping! I'm proud of myself, I got a lot done, and to think in half a day because I didn't really get started until after noon! Horray for me!
I had planned to do load #6 when I got home today (dipping into the forgotten pile from last time) but I just couldn't get the energy to. I'm thinking about taking a nap... ahh.
Is there such a thing as too much sleep when you're overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated? I don't think so!

Just a Thought
If anyone still has contact with Jeannine tell her I miss her and hope she's well.
She was my first online blog pal if I remember right, and if not for her I probably wouldn't still be blogging.
I just want to thank her for introducing me to the rest of you whether directly or indirectly and make sure she's ok.

As Promised
New Cat Pics!!!
Ok the floor pic is Jadzia and Nimbus. Yes Nimbus really IS that much bigger than his mother. Granted, she's a little further back but still, she's stretched out about as far as she'll go and he's kinda scrunched up, so the proportions are about right. LOL
The solo cat in the window is Jadzia on the outside part of the window ledge, which she's no longer allowed to do because she's got the wanderlust inside her - she just has to check everything out, even if she's gonna freak the moment her feet hit grass. So it's just not safe for her - or my heart - to give her the chance to jump. But this picture was taken before she showed that side of her fully. It was taken shortly after Nimbus jumped down from the inside part of the window ledge - see pic below it.
Unfortunately the camera was MIA when Curzon was with Jadzia and when I went to find it, he ran away, never to return, so thus the Boo had to substitute in lmao.
I promise new Curzon pictures when he lets me take em!
