Yay fun stuff!

Please visit my city and help it grow. This site looks fun. Apparently each person can affect my city’s growth through one visit per day. After my population has increased to a certain size, I’ll post the link to increase little Quibodo’s industry, transportation, security, environment and other such wonderful things. It should be interesting to see what kind of city you help me create.

Oh, and I’m officially unimpressed with the guy who ran my initial sleep study. He had me down as a 58 year old woman weighing 250 lbs. *frowns* I’m heavy, but I’ve not reached 250 yet…and I’m certainly not 58. Lazy slacker. Didn’t even record that I ever slept on my right side…which I know I did because I woke up on my right side once. Anyhow, I’ve been told that someone should be contacting me to get me set up with a machine. Who knows how that will go.

I had lunch today with a very sweet lady I know from work who was fired shortly after the new year. We managed to get donations from people in the office totalling $600 plus gift cards from people who didn’t have money to spare so soon after the holidays but hadn’t spent all of their presents yet. None of us knows why she was fired, and with her age and health circumstances, getting a new job will be difficult. I hope she finds one soon. The health insurance she has right now comes with a deductible of $6000…which, while she has loads of medical expenses, she doesn’t meet in one year. She really needs the benefits of group health care through work.

I need to run. My alarm clock isn’t as alarming as it should be (didn’t go off this morning even though it was set), so I need to look into a replacement.

I hope all of you are doing well!

You look good for a 58 year old woman. -Mike

Your city crashed my browser, will have to try that again later. Well, the 2, 5, and 8 are all one on top of the other on a keypad so that’s prolly where that came from, and was probably a similar silly mistake on his part with the weight. Still…. lazy arse! May he be plagued with mosquito bites, ’cause that’s about as mean as I get. Good luck with the machine when you do get it… Oy vey. I hate when people get fired for no good reason. That was so sweet of you all to get her those donations. And there it goes with the insurance again…. sigh.
