I swear I'm never leaving my house

Yesterday I went outside to pull some weeds.

Big mistake.

I mentioned on Facebook that I think every bug on Shady Ave bit me in that short span of 5 minutes.

Today I think it might have been every bug in Charleroi.

Seriously, I have about 7 bites and I'm monitoring on because the last time I got a spider bite, I ended up at Med Express with Cellulitis and was on antibiotics for 2 weeks.

Not fun.

So suffice to say, today I want to lock myself in a building, far away from biting insects.

Friday Is My Funday

I'm taking a vacation day on Friday, which also coincides with my sister having the day off. (hopefully)

If that's the case, I get to go somewhere fun on Friday.

I don't care were it is. I just want to go somewhere, that isn't Belle Vernon or a random grocery store, cos I'm sick of grocery shopping, because its so darn hot I don't want to cook.

Actually, I don't want to do much of anything right now, except find someplace with really good air conditioning and maybe hibernate until fall. The heat is making me absolutely miserable and when it isn't hot its storming.

GRRR

Things That Make You Feel Old

There's enough focus on youth in this country that I started to feel old when I hit 30. I'm 44 now and I really feel like an old crone.

Most of the shows I grew up watching are now being aired on stations like Antenna TV and Me TV.

My favorite bands are being played on oldies stations. Yes, yesterday I heard Duran Duran on The Pickle and then The Human League and Blondie.

One of my high school friends has a child in his senior year of high school and another a junior.

ARGH!

Romance novel heroines are usually only 26 years old.

Current music starts to sound like noise.

None of your favorite bands are really recording new music, they are just touring to play their greatest hits.

Staying up to watch the news or late night talk shows makes you really tired in the morning.

I am now going to go take my multi vitamin.

OK so I Watched Infinity Wars

Its funny, I've only been watching Marvel movies these days. There haven't been any pixar movies that have interested me lately.

So, I rented Infinity Wars yesterday and watched it late last night.

First of all, so much prettiness in one movie. I think anyone can watch this movie and have someone to drool over.

First of all...

Ironman/Dr. Strange = OMG awesomeness.

Not enough Groot for me.

I loved the idea of having all the Marvel Universe in the film, but truth be told it took a lot away from the movie because for me it just moved all over the place

And the ending...

Meh.

I don't like cliffhangers in books, I like them even less in movies.

So the movie is full of action.

It is full of eye candy for everyone.

But it is also lacking, because of all the other good stuff.

Grrr, is all I can say

Time's Been Getting Away From Me

It's been 2 weeks since I blogged last. Yikes!

With all the stuff going on with my mom and her Doctor I've been more than a bit aggravated.

Last week, I spent 4 days back and forth trying to get her insulin prescription filled, which is absolutely nuts. It took about 8 cancelled scripts before they got it correct.

That doesn't speak well for that office. However I at least know that when all is said and done. I'm not the crazy one and neither is the pharmacy.

Oye vey.

This week isn't much better, but I'm hanging in there.

I started a book last week. Right there that should tell you there is something wrong. Its a 371 page book. That's something that may take me a few days to read.

I'm still not finished.

Its a spoof on gothic novels with a touch of romance, vampires and time travel.  Its well written, but for some reason for me, it is dragging. Really really dragging.

There's nothing worse than being bogged down by a book that you aren't sure you like, but you've invested so much time in that you have to finish it.

 Seriously, this book has drained my kindle battery so much it is nuts.

Thank god for paper books because I've had to put that one down so many times.
