I should go to bed right now. I took some NyQuill and just a moment ago, regained both my ears. (They were plugged up)  But no. I'm up talking to my best friend via Yahoo messenger. God love the internet. Really. I can stay in touch with my pal, and not run my phone bill sky high. 

    Of course, this type of communication is really detrimental to my hand writing skills. I have nice hand writing. Or at least, I used to. Now, I'm a typing fiend. I can type faster than I write. If I had the same things to say to everyone. I would write a newsletter and send that out via snail mail. But I like to "talk" to one person at a time. There are some things I share with only certain people and I ramble like a maniac. I would inadvertently share the wrong things with the wrong people. It's not that I have a problem sharing my life with people, but you know how you have those friends that understand everything and know what's been going on from the beginning. Then you try to include someone new to the mix. It be like trying to pick up what's going on in a movie if you just walk in during the middle of it. It's just not any fun.

I'm a major music fiend. Good thing for me that I found a job DJing. I get to parlay my talent for remembering songs and artists into making some money. But, I sometimes wish I didn't have to DJ. It kills some really good songs sometimes. Play "Picture" by Kid Rock And Sheryl Crow about 20 times in a row, do not leave the room. That would give you an idea of what I mean by it kills some really good songs. I used to think "Picture" was a good song. Note the phrase "used to." Now, that and "Turn The Page" are referred to, by me, as the evil songs. I've heard them so much I just wanna scream.

When I'm home. I play a lot of 70's soft rock or less "popular" pop songs. Take "Lights Out" by Lisa Marie Presley. Not a big hit. Some people don't know it or don't like it. I do. I don't think she's a great talent. But I like that song. Or right now, one of my favorites is "Sunrise" by Simply Red. It samples Hall & Oates "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)", and uses original lyrics. I love the mix. I do not, however, like the techno version of the song. Techno is great. Most of the time. Just not that song.

Well. The NyQuill is kickin my butt. I am heading off to bed. I think I will leave this for now. And add to it in the morning. Or something.

Night.

Well, it's Saturday. Tomorrow is Mother's day. For most, it's a good day. Not so much on my end. My mother passed ...wow..15 years ago now.  And my children live with their fathers. Long complicated story on that. Long and short is, their father's make more than I do. And my kids never see a stranger as a babysitter. They both have plenty of family around. I didn't. So. There ya go. 

The source of a lot of internal trauma. I don't talk about it much. Most people don't understand why I don't have them with me. I get a lot of grief about it. And hatred. So. I don't even mention it sometimes. So. there's my Mother's Day pain for you.

Today. Day off. Not that I need one. Due to being sick and the car breaking down this week, I have had too much time off. Next week should be better. At least it better be. I can't afford any more weeks like this past one.

Speaking of work. I have a ton of it to do here. So I'm gonna go. Get some of it done. A lot is my own personal stuff. But I've got a few things for other people.

Hope this found you well. Have a great day!
