That's just wrong!

But, is it really wrong for me to feel somewhat empty, now that all my school work is done and there are no pressing assignments due tomorrow?
I needed a purpose today, so I started shoveling snow. Even though we have a snow blower and my brother in law plows the driveway. I realized that it is some seriously heavy snow, rather quickly. At least I'll sleep well tonight, after all that work. No, I did not finish the entire driveway, it's still freaking snowing!

Hot Toddy's anyone?

PLOWED!

Can you be serious for a moment here...

I'm talking about the snow, this time.

When the plow makes his leisurely route by my house, he rounds a corner to a private Road.

I was walking my almost adopted daughter home, without a flashlight of course. The snow reflects off of every facet and it's bright enough to see. I was more scared of a haunting coyote that's been sighted in her back yard. We came upon a drain grate and realized that there was something wrong with it. It's off it's place. It got plowed right off.

Terror on the front!

All right, So my art can use a little work but, you get the point...

Grades.

First and foremost, a note on school. It's freaking DONE.
On to the next semester!
English A
Pluralism and Diversity in the workplace A
Business A or at the very least a B (just took the final today, and I'm confident)
Science, well... ummm.. D

I know, what the f*ck happened?
I had trouble with science from the start. Tried getting a tutor.
And the final which I studied for DAYS for... 60. Nice, huh?
I think I'm going to take it again in the summer so that I can get a better grade and up my GPA.
There's talk about getting a BA, Masters and Doctorate???? What's a doctorate?
Just kidding.
Now I can Breathe for a whole 2 weeks till winter session starts again!

I'm my only follower.

Hello me, It's me again.
Alicen stop talking to the wall.
Medic!

How Do I get people hooked on ME?
I've tried the naked pictures for the guys, (Just go ahead and look for em)
and for the girls.. ehh... err... look at the pretty flowers!

While your at it, if you like a post - tag it with a comment.
This might inspire me to write more specifically, to your desires.

Alzhiemers.

I need to vent for a moment here. Bare with me.
If any of you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, you know what I'm talking about here.
I love my mother in law. It's not often that a person can say this. She's a great lady.
We live sorta together. We have an in-law setup and her apartment is attached to the main house. She's a trip.

But let me tell you, If I get asked the same question again,
I'm going to snap.
You will see me cuffed and a crazed look in my eye on the 10 o'clock news.
"Daughter in law overwhelmed, killed mother in law over a question."

No, but really~
We yell at each other and it's OK ten minutes later. I just need a break.
I'm the go to person for all things and it seems that the information doesn't always make it to my plate and I'm left to answer questions, that I have completely no freaking clue about.

Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that has an impact on the entire family.
If she can't remember when or even if she lit a cigarette, this could kill the rest of us too.
So I worry. Especially because we don't yet have a fire detector that I can hear. They do make em, (strobe lights too) I just haven't gotten around to ordering it.

This is the best site I've found, yet. Everything a deaf chick might want, and more.
If you're an HLAA member you get a discount, too!
Guess what I'm doing tonight. Ordering a few new fire detectors you say?
Gee you're smart!

I have a kid?

Today I got a call from the school nurse. Ty's sick, again. (He's not sick, he just doesn't want to be in school). Can't blame him there. In high school, if there was somewhere else I could be, I was.
So I get the call, tell the school nurse that I can be there in 20 minutes, I am just about to walk in the door to pick up my new hearing aids, in their spiffy purple color.

I get in and there's some confusion about needing an appointment.
So, away again with no aids.
Hey, I can go get my hair cut!
No appointments available till Saturday, but I have tentative plans for Saturday...
So I browse the isles for goodies. Manic Panic, Enjoy conditioner, blah blah blah...
OOO Marshall's is right around the corner!
After about 10 minutes of shopping, the phone rings. OH SHIT. My stuff stays in the cart and I bolt.
I walk in the nurses office, and promptly apologize. I forgot my kid. He knew I forgot about him and was cool about it. He knows I'm not getting much sleep with finals on the brain. Plus we had the winter concert last night and .. and... and...
I felt like such a fool! How could I forget my kid?
We went out to lunch. I got a new tripod for my camera, and it WORKS... The things, I've been missing..

Kudos!

I took the Science Final today, and I'm sure I did pretty well, after all I did study for it. Most of the questions were right out of our notes, so It was a matter of remembering what we wrote in our notes.
I didn't realize that my Pluralism Final was today though, I thought it was Wednesday. Oh, well. Not much I can do about that. I couldn't remember what I read about Aida Alvarez, in our secondary book. I focused on my science stuff, since I thought that Pluralism was Wed.
Damn, I wanted to ace that class!
On another point of Pluralism and Diversity, I got back my paper on Diversity in the workplace citing disabled people as my cause. Gee, I wonder why?!?! I got a 90 on it.

My esteemed teacher wrote:

"This was an Informative paper and I would not be surprised if you will be quoted in my course at some time in the future as a result of your advocacy in this necessary cause. I wish you luck!"

Makes me want to get out there~ and well, advocate damn it.

Studying

Who the HELL can study with the dishwasher going, the clothes washer going, the dryer going, the kids screaming (playing), and questions being thrown at you every which way??
Alright, I am hearing impaired - so these things shouldn't bother me right? WRONG.
These things are a irritating cacophony. Grating on my nerves like a cheese grater on delicate flesh.
I think for sanity sake, I will put this off until later this evening or nap time.

On another note, I still don't have my purple people eaters back yet. There was some confusion last week as to whether or not I had an appointment, which I didn't. so,,,
Maybe tomorrow!
