So, the pollen finally waylaid me. I feel a little better today, but yesterday, it felt like my head was stuffed full of pollen and mucus. (how I hate that word) Today, I mostly feel like my head is disconnected from my body, but I've been vastly more productive today than yesterday, when I slept for about 16 hours.
I'm addicted to games on my phone. At any given time, I am playing Draw Something, Words with Friends, Hanging with Friends, Scrabble, Word Scramble with Friends, and Poker. I am really, really horrid at Poker and not so great at Draw Something.
It brings back Pictionary trauma. I've really never been able to draw and after a few disastrous Pictionary games, I was smart enough to suggest another game when playing board games with a group of people. Now, my secret shame has been revealed. All my people are stick people, and pretty much all of my animals look like cats. My elephants just look like cats with giant ears and a trunk nose.
I had been playing Scrabble with random opponents, and one of them hasn't made a move in 2 days. I started to think, what if something happened to them? I mean, more likely, they just don't want to play Scrabble, but it's somewhat sobering to think that that Guest 4051 might've been hit by a bus on Wednesday, and I'll never know.

Diary of a bored white woman
I really need to stop watching the Real Housewives of Orange County...it ticks me off. One of them had a nose job under the guise of needing her sinuses fixed. Grr...but I cannot look away. It's like a spoiled train wreck.
My new plan to annoy our vampire neighbors is to make as much noise as humanly possible early in the morning. They appear to sleep until noon, which is annoying in and of itself, but the fact that at 11 p.m., I hear their demon kid running around, ugh....they are on my list. Also included on the list are Rush Limbaugh, cows, and people who drive Hummers who are not rappers or actively in a war.
I had this lofty idea that I would read and in some cases, re-read classic books. I have like 4,000 books, most of which are still at the unsold house, but I brought the ones I thought I would read to the apartment. So, "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Great Gatsby," among others, are mocking me from a bag while I read People magazine and play Draw Something on my phone. Maybe I have ADHD. I think Bloody Marys might cure that.
Besides my neighbors, dishes are my new albatross. I'm trying to be a good Martha Stewart-esque wife, making delicious and nutritious dinners every night, and that produces an entire load of dishes every day. So, in keeping with my "torture the neighbors" plan, I do them every morning, because this apartment has walls that are paper thin and every time the water runs through the dishwasher or shower, both floors can hear it...sigh....I wish Alabama had a lottery. I don't want to live near people I don't select anymore...
I also sing all day long, which is not particularly new, but for some reason, weird things like Run DMC and Snoop Dog are creeping in. What's THAT about? I think my monkey DJ needs interaction, too. He's starting to lash out.

The life of a rural housewife
I'm driving myself crazy. I have all this free time now until I have surgery in April, and I am so over myself. I've started to think bizarre things like:
1. Our neighbors are really annoying. They make a lot of noise and stay up all hours of the night, which leads me to believe they are either in abusive relationships or are making meth. It's probably neither, but they are driving me crazy.
2. When I'm done taking a shower, I have to turn on the super cold water to "refresh" my feet. Does everyone do that, or am I a freak?
3. You can only do so much with ground beef. I'm quickly running out of original dinner ideas, but it's the most I accomplish all day.
Did you know at any given time of the day, you can watch "Law and Order" and "Kitchen Nightmares?" They are on 24 hours a day. I watched an episode of "Law and Order" for the first time, and I don't get the appeal. I do like the little "ching ching" noise, though.
I'm going to use this time, starting tomorrow, to teach myself how to knit. That may end in cursing and drinking, but I'm gonna give it a try. Maybe I can open a craft booth in Boaz. I'm trying to adjust to small-town life again..I dunno how I'm faring. I don't really want to know or speak to my neighbors (also, they are are trashy), I don't know anything about guns or farming, and I feel like a huge snob every time I even try to have a conversation with anybody. Sigh....
Any more suggestions as to what I can do are welcome..I would like to avoid the padded room and jacket that ties in the front....
