A busy day has gone well in the Karnopp household! YEAH! Got the bathroom organized and cleaned today from top to bottom and I am a very happy camper. The time is now a little after 9 p.m. CST and believe me, I am bushed and ready to go to bed now. I think, leaving this a short one, going to say good night and God bless all of my friends here at DD tonight.
Before it gets any later than what it is right now – 9:22 p.m. Tuesday night – I thought I would quickly write a quickie to mention that I have been busy as usual. My MGT350 class ended yesterday evening and today Economics began. From reviewing the information so far for this first week, I have my work cut out for me but it will get done and done on time as always. Going to school and doing homework never ends here in my house. In fact, today I was fairly busy getting acquainted with new students and being re-acquainted with some students that followed me from MGT350. I won’t give up in school now or never!
I just want to tell my cleaning lady she is so fired! I am getting to the point of yelling and screaming at her for being so stuck on one particular thing in my home which is the cat odor smell here. My cat is fifteen years old and she poops and pees in her cat box and no where else that I know of since I am home ALL the time around here and do not go over night to a friend’s house too often. I am cleaning Emilee’s litter box everyday and washing it out every week on Wednesday or Thursday. I do have to admit that I am getting better at organization and cleaning so I give my cleaning lady a thumbs on that part. I have, for the past few weeks since I have returned home from Aunt Jackie’s at Christmas, crying a lot and have been literally afraid of my cleaning lady and other things that are involved in this whole matter.
I know that it isn’t much, but my world has been in chaos and confusion for the past two weeks and I just need to spend time with myself more often and not worry about anything but self as Kristi time has been put on hold way too long.
Today was one day I had done my things and had no worries about the world except to deal with my things of my world. It was time for myself and myself alone – got a lot done today. Had no phone calls today except for a couple of expected calls I knew I would take, even though one of the calls that was not heard was a call my friend Kelly made at 12 noon! I missed that call because I was out like a lightbulb, lol. I was so happy to have time for myself all day long and now I am thinking about retiring to bed for the night in a short while. This is what i was thinking about all day long:
1. I need to give myself a day or two for myself and not take any phone calls unless I am expecting them like my 12 noon call that was missed due to sleeping soundly.
2. My homework for the last week of class
–Did not attend class until afternoon as I was spending time with self and giving time to self.
3. What my plans for tomorrow
1. Shopping for new television and VCR
2. Shopping on list for supplies.
4. What I can do for others.
Today is ONE day I have decided to make time for myself and myself alone. I went to my appointment this morning and realized that I have a lot things I need to get sorted out as far as my emotional welfare is concerned. Yes, my emotional welfare needs to be put in order and I have to start, no matter how hard it will be at first, putting my foot down, and taking care of myself. Starting tonight at 10 p.m. my phone will be shut off so I can get the proper rest needed for the following day. I do feel, unfortunately, like I have my head cut off but now I am able to breathe a bit. I need to have Kristi time and that time is so very important. I cannot be stressed out anymore. Now, here I am, even though it is a little bit of a vent right now, having time for myself and myself alone.
Let’s face it…I have been super busy the last couple of days. My cleaning lady came this morning and we got a lot done. Right now, even though I did two loads of laundry yesterday, I am doing another two today to get all my laundry caught up for the week. Yes, I have been super duper busy lately. I even think now I have an idea of what I am going to write for my 4th paper for my Critical Thinking course I am just about done with – give it a week and a half I will be done with the class.
Another busy day has happened. For the first time today I can actually breathe easily. I don’t know why today was one of those days I could not breathe very well, lol. I got two loads of laundry done, bathed and dressed, went to an appointment at 2 p.m., cleaned Emilee’s litter box, took care of the trash, went shopping for things I needed – both personal and quick buys, lol, and did some homework for the day. I still have no idea of what to do for my fourth paper which is due Sunday! I am going to have a very busy day tomorrow – cleaning lady coming and homework and just being somewhat lazy AFTER the cleaning lady leaves. Today was just another BUSY day for me – tomorrow will come to be the same in hopes that a lot gets done tomorrow between two of us!
Now with 2006 in the works, I just have been busy working here and there in school and my personal life – getting my life straightened out. I do have to admit that I need to clean my house and do my laundry, lol. TOday was one of those days – nothing was done whatsoever as planned yesterday!
I do have to admit that December has been busy. This month, already going further on to the 4th of January, has already proven to me to be busy and full of activity every single day – whether I stay home or not. I know it has been a long time since I have had taken the time to write in my journal but definitely being busy has a lot to do with my little absence. I realize now that I may have only written in my journal three times last month – last year! Being busy is my life today. Anyway, a lot of things have happened since I last wrote, when I returned home from my little Christmas vacation. In fact I feel I came home to a “hell” I can not explain very well without getting upset still. I even dread the idea of my cleaning gal coming Thursday morning! That is what I mean by coming home to a little “hell” but I am still living here and intend to not move out of here. Some people just do not know how to listen anymore than I do once in a great while – selective hearing so to speak. Anyway, I do believe that the “hell” I came home to has been mended and fixed for the time being. It was all about the cat litter smell getting into the hallway while I was away. Some people just live to complain and get people into trouble and I have a feeling I know who has been complaining about this and that. I do not think there is a problem anymore.
MEE came by a little before 9 a.m., disconnected my VCR and hooked up the DVD player to the ol’ modulator in order for me to watch DVD movies. MEE was here for about a half an hour talking to me and spending time with me while he was hooking up and disconnecting the ol’ eye sore of a VCR. When he left, he took the ol’ eye sore of a VCR, and from that moment on, my day got better as time went on. I may not have a VCR at this time but honestly, I am ok with that 100%. I plan on getting a new VCR in the near future along with a new television. That is my plan at this time during the day of January 2, 2006. Good bye VCR and hello to a better day!
I was going to watch three VCR tapes – Lethal Weapon 1-3 but the stupid VCR would not work properly! In fact, the VCR would not let me have two of the tapes very easily. I got so frustrated and upset – not thinking clearly that VCR’s do wear out from time to time, especially when they can be practically fifteen years old! I called MEE and told him what was happening and what I wanted to do so we planned to see each other the following day, which was January 2, 2006
