A QUOTE FOR TODAY: Pursue not the outer entanglements; Dwell not in the inner void; Be serene in the oneness of things; And dualism vanishes by itself.
CURRENT TEMPERATURE: 34 °F, wind chill: 23 °F.

NOTE: Some of this entry was written a couple of days ago.

I'd like to wish [livejournal.com profile] outlawcowboy a late happy birthday. I hope you had a very good one. His birthday was April the 15th, this past Friday. i have always said what a day to have been born on, tax day. This year however I noticed that tax day has been extended to April the 18th instead. I wonder if this is a permenant change or if it was made this way for a reason this year. I don't know all of the details behind it. I'm sure there are a lot of thankful people out there however for the longer extention no matter how small it was. The only thing i have left to do is my rent refund. They always give you longer for that for whatever reason, it's also the one that takes the longest to get back too. My taxes are already done! Yay!

*Insert sarcasm here*. I would love to announce that it is extremely fun getting woke up by the knocking on one's door by the local police department. So fun in fact that I'd love to do it again. *End sarcasm here*. So what happened was...I got woke up by the police knocking on my door this morning, yeah I know I stated that already. Anyway, they wanted to know if we smelled a burning smell in our apartment. We indeed do smell a burning smell in our apartment but we have nothing burning down here at all. They apparently are going to every apartment to see if they can find the source of the smell. I'm not sure if they found it but it is a horrid one. I'm sitting here fighting nausea from it. I have absolutely no idea how Vampy could have gone back to sleep after the police left our place. I can't. I'm too worried about what it could be. We, meaning Vampy and myself think that it could quite possibly be the heating system. We have had nothing but trouble with it this winter. Maybe they need to put in a new one. I'm wishing i could open the windows but alas I'm too short. Some fresh air would do me some good. If I weren't feeling too sick I'd go upstairs and go outside to get some but I'm afraid to move too much. Just sitting here writing this entry is hard enough. I really hope they find the source of the burning smell, and I can't wait to get out of this building.

The other night while going through my e-mail, I came across this one. I really hate chain letters/e-mails but this one I thaught was worth checking out. Instead of forwarding it to my friends like it says to do however, I decided to post it here.

Stay Young My Friends

We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Try everything twice.
On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
"Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!"

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever...
Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh,
spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6.. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever..
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips..
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county,
to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
I love you, my special friend.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second chance..

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?
But do share this with someone.

Remember! Lost time can never be found.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Wine does not make you FAT ...
- it makes you LEAN ....
(Against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people.)

HERE ENDS THE E-MAIL...

Rainy, gloomy and chilly. That's how I'd describe today's weather. I woke up this morning after not sleeping very much last night to get ready for work. When it was time to go, I stepped outside and it was raining. I couldn't believe that after the nice temps we had the first two days of the week that it could be so blah. I know I complain about the weather a lot lately but this is getting rediculous. I mean it's supposed to be Spring but it seems as if winter doesn't want to let go. They are forecasting snow for us this weekend and even into next week. They say little to know accumulation but any ssnow we my get is just unnecessary. At this point the rain isn't good either because of the flooding rivers. It makes things worse.
The thing is, I sit here and complain about the cooler weather but it will be summer and if we have temps like we did last year it's going to be horrid. I will be wishing for the cooler temps once again. That seems to be the case however. When it's hot outside, we wish for cool temps, when it's cold outside we wish for warm and in some cases hot weather. I can definitely do without the humidity though. I mean that's just blech. Last year when we had the humid stuff, it seemed like everything in my basement apartment was wet. I had to wash laundry so that my clothes were freshly dry and not smelling musty. We got some wicked cool storms out of the weather though. Three cheers for thunderstorms! I have to admit that usually I'm not afraid of storms but we had one that scared the shite out of me. That was the day we had like a bunch of tornado warnings it seemed like one right after the other. I wonder if we will have more of those types of storms this summer?

I'm looking at getting a new cell phone as my current one is dieing. This saddens me because I really like my current one. I'd love to get an android but right now that's not in the cards. I have a borrowed n86 that I'm trying out and not sure what I think of it yet. I find it easy to use however and this is a good thing.

This past Friday, I obtained the New HP movie, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1 on DVD. I also got The Wizard Of Oz on DVD as well. Yes yes, laugh if you like but I love that movie. It takes me back to my childhood. It came on TV every year and it was the only night the parentals would allow us to stay up passed bedtime. It was always humorous to hear my father imitate the cowardly lion. He was very very good at it. Those days are long past now and I don't refer to him as my father any longer. He's just the sperm donor. I know it's harsh but I have no love for my birth father. That however is another story for another day.

Ok, time to run along and see if I can kill my nausea somehow. I'll see ya all laters when I have more to put down in words. *breaks into song*, "I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that i put down in words, how wonderful life is while you're in the world." *stops singing*. I do believe that the smell has gone to my brain, help me! It's killing my brain cells! Nah, I'm done now. Ugh! I'm gone.

Potions Mistress,
Lily Snape
