Pain in the neck

When the payment due box appeared, I immediately sent in my payment thru’ Paypal. and waited. and waited. and waited. But the sunny yellow box was still appearing. Then I checked my email again and Paypal needed the confirm. # on my credit card statement. O-Kay. I hadn’t got it, so I re-sent for it. Got the statement, not there! So I asked them to resend it again. Got statement. NOT there. Again emailed Paypal.

Today I came to OD and went to write and I could NOT. Hmpf. Said I was expired. So I went to Amazon. Paid. Here I am. For the love of mike what an ordeal I am simply exhausted. Heh.

So much for Paypal. The joke’s on me however as I already had an account at Amazon – so, much ado over nothing as I wrestled with Paypal. *rolls eyes* (if I only had a brain.)

I’m moving my head in small, very small increments today. Owie! A couple of nights ago, I slept wrong, must’ve slept very deeply and did not move. Something I try to avoid at all costs. Anyway the next morning, my neck was stiff and painful…I took advil and was careful, but here I am on the 3rd day with my neck screaming pain if I look down or look over. It’s *worse*!

I’ve slathered on Icyhot (works great, smells awful) and popped some advil, and am sitting here Very carefully. *L* It’s like a burning pain down my spine, I wonder if it’ll just go away or what? At any rate, it’s slowing me down and pissing me off.

Hubs nephew C is staying w/ us. He got here Weds. night and will stay through Sunday while his folks are in Fla. He’s 15 so is not a lot of trouble and he’s a good kid. Last night Carl was working, so Brie and Logan came out for dinner, Chels’ longtime bestfriend-our “other daughter” came out after school, so we had quite the full house, seemed like old times. I loved it, hubs was cranky. *L*

Logan helped Gramma prepare supper and supervised while I made salad. He is so helpful. *w* After supper, he had his bottle then slept in my arms while we watched Friends. Sigh. Except I kept cracking up and then he’d wake up. But he’d just look at me sleepy and go back to sleep all cuddled up in my arms. Oh, have mercy. I finally dropped off pics so I should have some in a few days and will post them. He’s grown so, but I don’t know if you can tell in the pics. He watches everyone so closely now, (How *are* they doing that Gramma?”). *s* Last night he would get fussy and no one settled him down but ME. Whoever he was with, he’d get fussy, I’d take him and he’d snuggle down and be content. Usually he’s only like that with Brie. I felt like I’d won the lottery. *L* We had a great night me and LogieBear. I think everyone else did too. *w*

Tonight hubs and I are going to hear a band-me to have fun and hubs to check out the competition. I have no idea what I’m going to wear, it’s been so long since we went out it’s pathetic. Anyway, I’m looking forward to it I guess. It’ll be fun. Not as fun as when Logan was here last night, but you know, you can’t have that kind of fun every night I guess. sigh.

Poor hubs! I can see why he gets to feeling neglected. If it’s not one of our kids, now it’s our grandson. If I wasn’t pissed at him right now, I’d feel bad. And it’s all him this time. Yessir. He was a crabby ass last night. Just pissy. He better be over that mood tonight or I’ll knock him sideways. I *hate* pissy men.

There, see, now I’m all upset. I better change the subject right now! (Don’t worry too much, I have an evil little grin on my face just for planning if his mood is still there.) Heehee.

Let’s see…*taps fingers*, is there anything else that needs to fall out of my brain right now? *snort* I think at one time, I would write a meaningful entry now and then. It seems those days are gone, at least for now, if they ever were. When they said life begins at 40-they weren’t kidding. I have no time anymore! Then again, when I have the time, it seems I don’t remember anything (thanks to turning 40) so maybe that’s what they mean. It’s not that it begins at 40-it’s simply that every day is a beginning because you cannot remember what went before! *L*

One thing, Chels and I joined Weight Watchers. I didn’t want to but Chels did and I’m so happy for that I’m showing great excitement (for her). If I lost more I wouldn’t be unhappy, but mainly I’m her cheerleading squad w/o being that, if you know what I mean. This way it’s a team effort and she feels much better about it. So far she’s doing pretty good and I’m encouraging (us) her as much as I can. The good Lord wanted me to be busy raising my kids, I can tell you that. He gives me what I need to be sure. Can’t complain as He gives me what I want too. And then some. *s*

Oh boy would I like to stretch right now. Tried that this morning however and it was brought to a screeching, painful halt. Ugh. Pain in the neck is right-in more ways then one.

Brie’ll be calling soon. She calls me everyday to tell me what Logan is wearing and what new thing he’s doing. He just lights up when he looks at her, so does she, I’ve never seen her this happy and content. Never. We’re both ga-ga over Logan, and Carl is too I must say. Everyone is, I’d forgotten how everyone around a baby, becomes so happy. Smiling and laughing with each other, friends or strangers. My heart and soul soak it up.

World problems are still there, the threat of war imminent and tragedy’s tear your heart out, what do people w/o love have to keep them going? I know some soak that up, it keeps them going and revved to do better. I admire that, but for me it’s the simple things, the basics. They make me soft, yes. But happy, very happy.

Very sappy too, I see. Hmmm. Who’d have ever thunk…

*News Flash: I can now move my head from left to right!* Woo hoo baby! I best go do some chores while I can move about freely. How am I going to dance tonight people?! Oy.

I’m outa here, enjoy your day.
