Took a half sick day off work. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Later this evening I decided to give the cats a grooming and bath. They both screamed bloody murder but the grey tabby started to irritate me when he kept jumping out of the bath tub and I'm chasing him around trying to put him back. We did not have a pleasant evening. But a few hours later they decided to make peace with me and they started rubbing against me and purring. That's a good sign.

I'm not celebrating St Patrick's Day by going out anywhere. I often spend drinking holidays at home because I fear drunk drivers and the fatalities. The real reason is I have no friends or parties to go to. I want to change that part of my life. People need friends to do things with...

Speaking of which I'm starting to talk to some people online. Maybe we can met at a coffee shop and play some board games. They seem into sci-fi.

I've got a problem. I spend too much time cleaning and organizing my apartment, especially my kitchen. I spend hours a day making sure things are neat and clean. What's funny is that I haven't done much work on my second bedroom aka office/entertainment/cat room. I usually spend a good friday night or saturday vacuuming, polishing, sanitizing, or treating furniture.

Recovered from the period. Done. It was less severe than most. Friday I started and was feverish pretty much all day. Saturday I didn't want to go anywhere because of it. Sunday I started to feel like going out, which I did.

The cat Dana has a vet appointment at the cat care clinic this Thursday. He's still on his antiobotics and I haven't seen him stooping around the apartment anymore. That's good but he's still going to finish his medicine.

I am planning on going to the Carmel BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehichles) this Wednesday to try and get vehicle registration, drivers license, and state id. I hate being reliant on government issue documentation. I feel that without any id I'd be like homeless in the world!

Felt a little lonely today. I can't believe this month is flying by so quickly and I can't believe Easter is this Sunday. I'm driving to visit the parents in Hammond and my boyfriend is going to join us for Easter dinner. I look forward to seeing him. I kind of miss my boyfriend and I thought about my life and that coming here was still the best decision. I hated the living and financial situation where I was before. Someone at work told me that they bought a condo in the area for 105k with an attached garage and that renting was stupid (those were some nice condos btw). Yes, but the same people who buy are renting while they are single or new to the area. I am not jumping to buy something so soon. I really want to be engaged or married before I move into a house and move into a house with a man and ring on my finger. There is hope. But there are things I need to do to increase the probability of that.


Overate for dinner. I was feeling sick so I ate more than I should have for dinner. This weekend I picked up some ice cream, something new and different. Something that brought happiness to my soul and something that I could only get at certain mexican restaurants.

It was fried ice cream basically cinnamon, honey, tortilla shells, honey grams, very tasty.

Here is a recipe for Cinnamon Fried Ice Cream Recipe which is similar.




While searching the internet for the website I came across an ice cream brand and flavor I'd like to try one day:

Bart's Homemade Ice Cream

Three Geeks and a Red Head: Coconut Ice Cream, Coconut flakes, Chocolate Chunks, Fudge Brownies and a Red Raspberry Swirl.

Just thought that was cool :)

I've been feeling special sympathy for frankprovo because they closed the cheesebuger in paradise near him. I'm so so sorry.

What else is going on? I took some photos of Carmel not too many of my apartment. I took this photos on a little walk around the apartment and town. More to come. I placed some photos on my facebook albumn temporarily. It is a project of mine to get my photo gallery back online and organized, amongst other things!

It's raining right now outside.

Happiness is now having 1 gallon of Meijer's Scooperman (aka Superman) Ice cream.



I also have some ice cream cones too and I bought an ice cream scooper.

• Billions of 17-year cicadas about to hatch in Midwest
• Birds, squirrels, dogs love the high-protein critters
• 1.5 million cicadas per acre will crowd onto trees
• Male's shrill call can reach 90 decibels, similar to blender

The cicadas are coming.

There is a lot of popularity of this bug lately. I walked down the streets of Glen Ellyn and store windows had cicada bugs on there. Cold Stone even came out with a cicada ice cream flavor. It says it is supposed to be crunchy :)

My ears are going to hurt. I remember them from 17 years ago, but I thought it had spread over a few years. It was so loud and annoying. I was about 9 yrs old then.
