Notepad and Panic Attacks - 03 March 2003 . 21:41
I'm proud to announce AOL will no longer thwart my attempts at updating on Diaryland! I'll just type my entries in Notepad then use the hi-tech method of cut + paste to post them! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Okay, I just saw some commercial saying something about getting kids involved. There was a website on the bottom of the screen....www.VERB.com. Active, Verb, you follow the train of thought, right? So I'm wondering, why don't the other parts of speech get a website? Is Noun jealous of Verb's website? What about Adverb, Adjective and Pronoun; do they feel left out? Has this website gone to Verb's head? Is Verb impossible to get along with now? Are they all plotting behind the scenes to bring Verb back down to reality? And where do Hyperbole, Metaphor, Similie, Palindrome and Abbreviation fit into this situation? Have Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection and the various Clauses been left out in the cold?
Sorry for the silliness. I got off on a tangent there...welcome back. =)
No new business at the time of this entry. I have an eye exam tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be given a prescription for glasses at that time. My eyes have deteriorated so much that not only can I not see at night but I also can't see words printed on colored backgrounds AND I can't see clearly at an extended distance. So basically I'm going colorblind, I have severely limited/no night vision and I'm nearsighted.
Or is that farsighted?
I have been arguing back and forth with my vision insurance company for the past 2 weeks. They have no record of me as an insured party. I told them they better have record of it because the premium is deducted every week from my paycheck. So, they said they'd research it and send me a letter with their findings. Today I got a letter...saying they had no record of me as an insured party. Bastards.
I had to stand in line at a utility payment station today for 45 minutes. My great-aunt broke her ankle (I may have mentioned this before??) a few weeks ago and I've been guilted into doing various tasks for her since she's laid up for 8 weeks. She asked me to pay her phone and light bills for her so I obliged. At the payment station, standing in the line, I had one of my claustrophobia-induced panic attacks. It wasn't a full blown attack but it had definite potential. Luckily about the time it began I was only a few minutes away from my turn at the window. I had to keep telling myself I would be out of there soon, to stay calm, not to freak out. It was like I was trying to command my body to stop the symptoms and resist the attack, which is kinda scary. The attack itself is scary but knowing and feeling it coming on is a bit scarier. Knowing that you have no control whatsoever over your own body, your own psyche...terrifying moments of madness and hysteria that seem endless.
Tonight at 11 on my local news channel our bleeding-heart governor will give the state of state address. He's supposed to address our state's failing economy. I look forward to watching the address so I can pick him and his policy apart in editorials...okay, I'm not THAT hardcore but I do look forward to hearing his proposals. We are in a precarious postition as of late and I don't think our governor has the foresight to develop a long-term plan of action to not only pull us out of this slump but ensure prosperity in years to come. I can only hope he proves me and other critics WRONG. This is one time I would be most thrilled to be completely off base.
