I am not feeling good today. I am so tired for some reason but although all I want is to go to bed early, I still have things to do and a little boy to take care of so bed time will just have to wait. I have been feeling sluggish lately that just looking at the ever energetic little man drains whatever is left of mine. The husband is not helping any because instead of letting me take a nap he keeps on calling for me and asking for my help. So here I am still up and trying to stay awake. I am giving them thirty minutes more and we should all go to bed whether one likes it or not. Let’s hope there will be no complaints later.

I have squid that is thawing in the fridge right now. When I got it out of the freezer earlier, I wanted to cook some because I know I will be hungry and it is always nice to have prepared food so I only have to heat it up. But it is still thawing (probably is totally thawed by now) and I am not sure if I want to cook it anymore. Not tonight anyway. I wonder if it will still be good tomorrow. I would hate to have it go to waste knowing I spent a lot of money just to buy a whole box from the Asian store. The husband will not be happy if I let food go to waste just like that. I guess I have to get up and cook the thing and get it over with. Hays, I wish I have a helper to do things for me. No such luck so I have to do things on my own.

The husband has been complaining about how his phone’s keypad is not working good and its battery has to be charged all the time so I asked him if he wanted me to order him a new phone. He said yes and so I set out to find him a free phone since his account is ready for upgrade. He helped with the selection and we found a phone he likes but we had to pay $19.99 for it even after the deductions. He said it was fine with him as long as he gets the phone so I ordered it for him. It is said to come in 2-4 business days which means it should get here by Tuesday at the earliest. I hope it is really a good phone so I will not hear any complains. He takes care of his phone though so I do not have to worry about that. He has been using the same phone for over two years now and he would not have replaced it if only its battery and keypad are still working fine. Maybe this new one will last a long time too. We will see.

Update:

His phone came two days after it was ordered. Although he did not like it much the first time he held it, the husband claims he likes how good it works now. And the sound quality is better than his old phone which is a big plus.

June 29 is my Grandmother’s 92nd birthday. She is a tough cookie, that one. She has been through a lot yet she remains strong. She was my doctor when I was little and I got sick. If it was too much for my parents to handle, they delivered me to Grandma’s house, blankets and all. And I would return home the next day all better and ornery once more. She is the best cook I have ever known in my life and a lot of people could attest to that. She had her moments of greed and meanness but who does not? We all love her nonetheless. On her special day I would like to have flowers delivered to her to remind her that I may not have seen her in over four years but I keep her in my mind all the time.I think it is pretty sweet if she opens her door to a flower delivery on her birthday. Knowing Grandma, she might wonder why I did not send her money instead, lol. Will probably even ask my parents how much I paid for the flowers. One can never tell with my beloved Grandmother but I want something different for her. I hope I will have enough money to order her a beautiful flower arrangement before her big day. Thank goodness for sites like http://www.1800flowers.com which makes it easier for people like me to order flowers for the people we love on special occasions. If you have a special person you want to send flowers to, you could visit the site and see their selections of beautiful flower arrangements. Nothing says special better than flowers.

This was the picture I was yapping about on my previous posts. I took this at the SIL’s house when we visited her weeks ago. It was on a little pine tree on her yard and all we did was swipe some leaves away and there the birds were. The little man was so fascinated by it he yelled to be picked up so he could see the little birdies again and again. Looking at the little birds made me think how helpless babies are. They rely on their parents for everything until they are ready to leave the nest. It is also true for people. It is a shame that some kids never really value the love and nurturing their parents gave them when they were little. Not even so much as a thank you sometimes. Just whining and complaining about how hard life is instead of moving on and trying to do more to survive. Oh well, such is life. I hope you like this picture.

Note: The birds were not harmed when this picture was taken. I was told that a few days later they flew off the nest and sure enough when we got back they were all gone. I was hoping for another glimpse when they were all a bit bigger. I hope mother bird will come back and make a nest in the same spot next time.

The other day, the husband had to go to the store to get a replacement for the Jeep’s busted headlight. When he got home I wondered why he was carrying a big box and when I asked I was told that unlike our other cars, the Jeep requires the whole thing and not just the bulb. Hence the big box where the headlight was at. I did not know that and we have had the Jeep for years. I must not really be paying attention. I asked him if we then could buy hid lights for the Jeep instead because I really like the brighter lights for when we have to drive at night since both of us have poor eyesight. He said he has been thinking about it and he will have to see if it is available for older model cars. I hope it is because it does sound better from what little I have read about it.

I planned on posting another picture in this blog but I found out that the picture I wanted is on my other computer. I am too lazy to plug that computer and use it so I did not do it. Perhaps on my next post I will use the other computer so I can post the picture I wanted. There is also a problem since I am not sure if that particular picture has been used yet. We will see.

I am feeling bored today. I have done a lot of things both online and offline and all productive that should have made me feel tired yet fulfilled but I am not feeling either. I am so bored I don’t know what to do. Wait, I know what I want to do. I want to take a vacation to visit my parents and bring the little man with me. I need a break. I need to relax even for just a few weeks. It should make a lot of difference. But financial and other matters prevent me from going anywhere. So I will have to discard that idea for right now. If this gets unbearable I might just ask the husband to do something so we could go. I hope this feeling will go away before it eats at me.
