I keep thinking I will update this blog more frequently, but I have the same problem with this as I have with everything else--I jut don't do it. I am so the opposite of Nike. I keep wanting to be different, but wanting doesn't make it so. I am afraid my COBRA is about up and I may have to stop my sessions with my psychologist. I probably should have seen a psychiatrist maybe it would have been a better experience--then again it may have all turned out exactly the same.
I signed up for a seminar to help me get a job and it is going to be a lot of work. I am already procrastinating and I hope I can get more motivated quickly. I am hoping that this will give me some accountability and get me going even if it is reluctantly.
My car was totaled from the accident I had a couple of weeks ago. I am pleased with the amount my insurance company is giving me, but now I have to get a new car. I haven't really looked for one and I need to get one soon. My brother-in-law is trying to sell me his 2005 Prius. I think it is in pretty good shape, but it has 135,000 miles on it and that concerns me a bit. I would like to have a Prius as they get excellent gas mileage. He says he will give me a good price, but I don't want them to feel like they did me a favor and now I owe them. They lent one of my other sisters some money once and she felt like they held it over her for a while. If I don't buy the Prius, then I need to get a car. I am flying to the east coast on Sunday and I either need to have bought a car or decided to buy the Prius so that I can drive it back. I am not excited about taking the time to drive back.
I did something completely bad. I pre-ordered the Galaxy Tab from Sprint on Thursday. I was shocked when it arrived on Friday. It was free shipping and they must have overnighted it. It is a cool little piece of hardware, but it doesn't seem to be helping me be productive. I finally have a device that I can play Angry Birds on--and I have been playing too much. One of the sites I frequent--Tanga--is starting a survey and offers type page and invited Super Tanga Users to try it out. One of the offers I signed up for was Mint.com. After I signed up, I found an Android app to interface with Mint.com. I had been ignoring my bank accounts, because they were running low and I would have a panic attack when I thought about it. My heart was racing so fast when the data loaded and I saw how little money I really have, so I guess it has been good for that. I was excited that the Galaxy Tab supported flash, but most of my favorite websites do not work still--netflix streaming, the Dungeons and Dragons Compendium, Hulu.com, asobrain.com, and the USA Today crossword puzzle to name a few. Evidently, the browser does not support Java. My biggest complaint is that is can't make a phone call. I can use Skype, but ony without video. I tried Google Talk, but it will only allow text conversations. It is also very expensive--approximatey $400 for the unit and approximately $30 a month for data services. I wish there was a WiFi only version, but that is not due until late next year. For $200.00 more I could have bought the thing outright from Sprint and canceled the required data plan. Anyhow, the interface is great, I love the size, and the existing Android apps seem to work well. If I had a job I would probably not be taking back in a couple of weeks.
This weekend I went bowling with some friends to celebrate Dawn's 40th birthday. I bowl maybe once a year or so. My highest score was a 135 and that was really good for me. I even had several strikes in that game.
Sunday school was nerve wracking. I still haven't got the hang of it. It went pretty well, but I am not sure what the kids are getting from it. Hopefully, they are getting something out of it--I feel like I am. After teaching the Rosary a while back, I was saying the Rosary practically every night. This week I stopped--I am not sure whether if there was any effect on me. I did feel a little guilty every night before bed. I went ahead and said a Rosary tonight before writing this entry.
Hopefully, I will be able to sleep tonight after realizing how little money I have and how much I have procrastinated on the resume application I am supposed to finish for Wednesday. I haven't taken a sleeping pill for at least a week and I hope to keep that up--I have been taking anxiety pills on occasion.
