Interests
Interests, well they all went away with the loss of my leg, I can and do still restore cars, for it brings me some joy, I can no longer hike to places in nature where the true wonders of nature are, so I grieve the loss. I love photography but the things I can photograph are being taken away, with the loss of driving priviledges, and poor sight, now I even fall asleep at the keyboard.

Ken lowered the speed i\on my internet, no more high speed, but at least I have internet A friend if his convenience him that it was not wortg the extra money for highspeed. Maybe he is right but I don't Know Wished he'd of minded his business instead of telling Ken he could change it,, Oh well, beat no cable at all. I appreciate just having it. Gotta go, eye is about to tear up. But, I fiqure the slow down on this site is due to the speed. Oh yeah, have you tried google chrome. It makes my time on this site a lot better than foxfire or internet explorer. Thank goodness for spell check. love susan -

I noticed I had some emails yesterday Could not read tjem(pink eye) This shit hurts and I cant open the one eye, and the other is my weak eye to begin with. Writing this hurts but wanted to answer your email. I am over working my spell check. Went to docter yesterday, she gave me some drops to get rid of the infection but not the pain. I have no idea where I got this, I read it could be a symptopn of RA. who knows. I hope you can read this. I have to stop now. Take care of you. love susan

Or, rather if I have something to send. I have pink eye, don't ask me where I got it. I can hardly see to type but wanted to say hello. love ya susan

Goodness, you must have to endure a lot of restraint... Some people just shouldn't be allowed to figure systems out.. they should just break down and hire people to install it and get it ready to go for them... Well I got good news yesterday.. The staffing agency that I sent my resume to called me to come in for an appt and discuss "which position they will place me in" so I'm assuming that I'm going to be working in a good job soon! Which is a good thing.. I'm tired of robbing peter to pay paul, so-to-speak.. My husband makes pretty good money, and before the economy tanked last year we were living really damn comfortable- now we are barely making ends meet... I'm going to have to continue school while I work (but I go online which will make that a much easier task)... But, I want to get started in a doctor's office or hospital (I'm going to school for healthcare administration) so by the time I get my degree I can just get a nice hefty raise to reward my accomplishments, lol. But Michelle at the staffing agency told me they have 30+ jobs within a 20 mile radius of me for medical receptionists, schedulers, etc (pretty much what I want).. And to top it off the absolute LOWEST PAYING one is $10/hr... Well, I'm going to check if the system maintenance on my school site is finished so I can take tommorow's test so I don't ahve to worry about school work anymore this weekend.. Well- at least worry about doing anymore assignments- I still have to study the next chapter.. Ugh= I really cannot wait till I finish this algebra class, and algebra 2 (which I take next)... Lots of loves nad hugs- Kris
