Sound of a million dreams

Sound of a million dreams

I’m listening to this song as I am typing this. I love David Nail and this song. It always makes me feel good. I had a pretty good day despite my ankle killing me right now. I had good luck today as I won $50 (USD) on a scratch ticket. I bought one, won $5 (USD), so bought another of the same ticket and won $50. I was happy because my cash flow was getting to be non-existent. I am hoping that one day, with this particular ticket I will win the big one and be set for life.

Other than that, I have nothing new to report. I still am not sleeping. I fell asleep around 04:30 only to wake up at 0900. I have been going all day and it’s almost midnight now. I am wicked tired but I am feeling kind of revved up. I just got off the phone with my cousin and we were talking about things. Guess those things got me kind of excited. But really I know I am going to be up because my foot is again doing it’s hot flash thing again. And I know what follows it. I didn’t take any Neurontin tonight. I don’t think it is helping me anymore. Only thing I have noticed is that I am eating more, which isn’t good as I am trying to control my weight. I lost a few pounds and so far I have managed to keep them off. I don’t want them back on. My honey nut cheerios came today. I order them on Amazon because it is cheaper to buy them in bulk online than it is getting them in the store. I know I pay a lot for shipping, but this time I was able to get free shipping because I bought some other things. I finally got a new battery for my phone and a new case to go with it. My other battery was getting to be no good. For an extended battery, it wouldn’t last more than a day, sometimes not more than 8 hrs off the charger. It was getting to be ridiculous so I got a new battery and I hope that it lasts longer than a few hours. And I guess it does because I was on the phone with my cousin for three hours before it beeped saying that it needed to be charged. Three hours is typical for my phone battery, but I usually don’t talk that long with my cousin. I usually don’t talk that long with anybody!

I am feeling really tired. I hope I get some sleep tonight despite my foot doing it’s stupid thing. I really don’t know how many more sleepless nights I can take. This will be the third night in a row that I have stayed up beyond midnight after waking up in the early morning. I usually sleep for at least 7 hours but lately I have been only getting about 5 hours of sleep. And I can’t stay asleep during the night. I wake up every couple of hours and then I will sleep solid for four hours and that will be it. I have to get up, only to feel like taking a nap a few hours later. I have not taken a nap though. I find that if I do, it only makes things worse.

I have had to put a password on one of my blog entries. I really didn’t want to do it but I just kept on getting spam comments for drugs and online pharmacies every single day and more than 10 messages a day. I couldn’t take it anymore and it was always for the same post. I have the post as a page now and it hasn’t had the same kind of traffic. I hope it doesn’t anyway.

I had a funny thing happen tonight. My sister called me saying that my little niece wanted me to come downstairs. So I came down and I had dinner with them. I then asked my niece why she wanted me. She said just to sit with her. I thought it was cute. Then the brat leaves me to visit another neighbor! I then asked myself why I am at my sister’s and went back upstairs to my cave (room).

I have to give people credit…they are very creative when they create twitter or email accounts. I just got a message that “better off blonde” is now following me on twitter. I have no idea who this person is. But one thing about twitter is that you don’t have control over who follows you. The most you can do is that if they are trouble, you block them. I had to block someone today because they sent me a link. Anytime anyone on twitter sends me a link, I block them. I then find out that the account is gone the next day. So who knows what they were trying to do. I don’t trust them because I don’t want a virus on my computer or get hacked. Not that I have anything on my new laptop. I just have my documents, which is mostly my blogs and my book. If I were to lose them, it would be like losing my life. I should back up my documents soon. I have not done it in a while, though I did upload some documents to dropbox. Dropbox is an online storage space meant for just that reason. In case your computer crashes you have them stored online. I don’t know how secure it is or anything of that nature but I know a few people that use it and think it is great. So I have some of my PDF’s and other documents stored in cyber space.
