Banging My Head

Nope not rocking out to music either (though I do hear this annoying buzz from 3 kids MP3 players behind me).
I just am not getting back into the swing of things as fast as I would like, I know, I know...blogging isn't the world's most important thing but it was something I once enjoyed immensely...now I find I can go days without even wanting to sign on to the computer. How flippin' odd is that, I was a certified internet junkie who needed a daily fix.
Anyway, I see the neurologist on Wednesday and hopefully will get some answers for the leg pain and something that works better than the gabapentin that they placed me on, though that has helped me be able to tolerate working without collapsing in agony. I grit my teeth through the pain when it hits at work now. Still have my job, bonus there. Put in a new availability form and they have not yet honored the request, which is a bit of a pain, but hopefully they will by the next schedule.
In the midst of an arctic blast of cold here in the northern parts of WI, so below zero and not friendly to man nor beast outside. Thankfully for now I need not be making any trips to the bus stop this week.

So new things that have been on my mind as of late:
1. Reusable shopping bags - These things are great! I was hesitant to switch but am very glad that I did, now I will not go back to using store bags unless it is for meat products (do not like leaking packages). They also hold a lot of stuff, are sturdy, and I just love them.
2. Where have all the ladies clothes gone? Is it just me or is Walmart not selling ladies sized clothing anymore that isn't uglier than all get out? Miss Micheyla is no longer able to fit in the Juniors sizes, does not need plus size, but we can't find anything that befits a 12 year old girl in the ladies area either. We also can't afford the fancier stores. I actually shopped in the men's department for her and bought her some t-shirts from there for Christmas. Very frustrating.

So, anyone else planning to watch American Idol? Starts tomorrow night, I will be recording it to watch. What can I say I am a reality TV addict when it comes to some shows. I am also watching Superstars of Dance, though I think that is rigged, judging wise. I bet the Irish will win, just thinking that.

Off to do some laundry now, and figure out what in the world we will be having for supper this evening. Playing the what's in the pantry guessing game tonight. Hopefully I will catch you again tomorrow. I will be releasing a new book review on The Library at the End of the Universe tomorrow though so stop in.
