meh...

meh....feelin' decent. waiting to hear from the towing company assigned by Kars 4 Kids to pick up the busted car I bought for my sis. Okay, I didn't know it was busted and her friend didn't have it totally looked over save for the radiator she knew needed replacing. Paid $500 for the car and $300+ for the new radiator. She paid $70 to have a full diagnostic done on the car and the repairs it needs are way more than the care is even WORTH! (needs a new transmission which I could feel shortly after buying it even though I test drove it myself.)



Live and learn. just buy new used or new!

now, my van is doing okay but it's 4 years younger than her car (same car company; Plymouth).

As for my essays that are due....a masterpiece of NOTHING! I decided that I'm going to just take the D and F I'll end up getting and retake the courses one at a time...however, not necessarily right this fall....I don't have to take the courses in any order accept the last, thesis course.

I decided on that because, while I'm going to have to eat the costs of those courses, I'm really stressed out when it comes to trying to even read the books to research the topics. The problem is everytime I get to reading one my mind wanders or I'm focused but then I get super sleepy!!! It's not like they aren't topics I have an interest in because I CHOSE THEM!!

I think I'm just intimidated by having to pull 10-12 pages out of my ass when the most I've written on a regular basis is maybe 5 pages and at most one or two 8pagers.


Now, this decision to just chuck 'em out and redo the courses later down the road won't be final until I've let Monday come and go and I've submitted nothing. Monday is the deadline, not Wednesday like I kept thinking. two days means a lot when you're a procrastinator!

I'm sure I'm going to try again..I've got tomorrow without the boy at home and then Friday I'm sure mom will cart him off downstairs while I try to get this stuff finished up here. I can only try. I've got that.

  1. I've been a procrastinator my entire life! It drives my wife crazy. She was convinced that I would never lose weight successfully until I was in a hospital bed recovering from a heart surgery...Assuming that I would be lucky enough to survive a heart attack. So yeah, I can relate to the procrastination problem.

    I hope everything is going great otherwise! Tonight I'm posting some before and "in progress" that blew me away. I hope you get a chance to mosey on over and see them.

    Take care and God Bless,
