49th b-day

Well, to start this off, it was going to be on my Karma Kookies blog.  Apparently Google has decided in its infinite wisdom do remove my Karma Kookies in favor of some other blog which probably is a 'day in the life of yada, yada, yada.'  Get my drift.  I am not happy about these changes, and that is why I stop blogging for long of a time.  My passwords will no longer work, if I link blogs they suddenly are lost, and on some other sites, they simply don't have record of my emails, account information, or any of my blogs.  I get so tired of this free blog shit!  I wonder if it is the same way if you are paying for a blog page, or your own website.  Please do tell if you have something to offer.  I am about fed up with blogging altogether.

Hello!  Well, it is my 49^th birthday today.  For once I didn’t remind Mom from the middle of June until the day before, I just let it go.  I knew I didn’t have a lot to give, and when I don’t have a lot to give, I don’t feel like I should be receiving much.  Not sure why, just is!

So, what does this day mean for me: I am one year exactly away from being officially 50.  AARP can then officially start hounding me to be a member; senior citizen interests should be more interesting to me; and I can use my can without fear or reprisal of a younger fart looking at me like I am some sort of cripple.  In the interim of this one year though, what do I have to look forward to: perhaps a final decision on my disability case (maybe, but not holding my breath); one more year at these senior community apartments; and one more year without health care.  Jeez!  I thought this was going to uplifting at some point, maybe I am writing it in the wrong blog!

Mom was great and got my two most currently cherished items: Amazon.com credit card and chocolate pieces.  Last week I thought I was going to have a meltdown because I was out of chocolate, and wasn’t able to get to the store to replenish my supply.  She must have bought the chocolate because last week was hard on her as well, harder than it is usually with me.  I guess she wants to make sure I don’t get that weirded out again. 

My sis, here, bought me breakfast yesterday which was great.  I needed breakfast before we went shopping, but was feeling guilty about spending the money for it out of my small amount of funds.  She also called with her kids and said happy birthday over the speaker phone.  Couldn’t tell everything that was being said, but I did hear “happy birthday, Aunt Rene” from small voices, and that was cool.  My other sis left a phone message saying she sent me something, got it returned, and then put it back in the mail.  I got from Mom she needed more postage, she added it, and then re-deposited it. 

But, the world moves on!  At least this year has not been taken up with 9/11 memorials, too much going on with the Presidential campaigns.  Last year was really depressing since it was an anniversary of the tragic event. 

So, on with the world, on with my life, Sunday is another day, and life still goes on.  At least I will feel better knowing I have read (eventually) Stephen King’s 11/22/63 novel.  I have wanted that for so long for my Kindle, but just couldn’t see the expense when I had to buy dog and cat food. 

Oh, by the way, the crew got me zip, zero, nada.  Yeah, but they are waiting outside the door even as I type for dinner.  They were at their posts at 4:30 p.m. today, so I am learning to just ignore them until I am ready to feed them.  Like I said, life just goes right on through you, no matter if you are ready for it or not.
