Having some doubts about the redwood I'm planning on getting. I was gonna put it on the hill, but it would be cool closer to the house. It's wetter there, which they like, and I could admire it from my window. Problem is it would be in my only patch of sun in the backyard, and I hang my clothes there. My dumbass right hand neighbors cut all their trees down. Maybe I'll put my clothes in their yard. It's the least they can do for being a pita :^D

Oh, and my new neighbors across the street have a bitchin' camaro, and they've revved it a few times. Fucking irritating. Now I'm pissed at my left hand neighbors for being reasonable. If not for them, I'd be running my chainsaws at daybreak :^S

I went to the doctor to get my finger checked and got sent for an Xray. Went to the hospital to get that done. Had to pay $8 for parking! What sorcery is this!

Any idea what's going on with it?

Not sure, doctor did not sound too worried that it's arthritis but with xray we'll find out. I hope it's just fractured or something. That can take months to heal, but it does heal. I just don't remember actually doing anything to it that would cause that. I imagine it would hurt more too. This is not really an excruciating pain, it's just there when I move it certain ways. Good news is it's not swollen or anything, I think if it was arthritis it would be swollen.

As a side note it kinda occurred to me that they never protect eyes when you get an xray done, not even at dentist. That's dangerously close to the eye balls there. I guess it's not enough of a risk? They did protect my nether region though.

Effing Delta helped Mom miss her connection in Atlanta. So she got in at 12:30AM instead of 10:10PM. 2:00AM before I got in bed.

Yeah I'm hoping it will maybe be just that. it started after I did the siding on my shed so I figured it was maybe the way I was going up the ladder, holding siding in one hand and drill in the other and using one finger to pull myself up. But then it just never went away.

I also have a bad habit of cracking the two main fingers on both hands maybe it caught up with me...
I don't think cracking joints (the kind you do yourself, not the kind someone does to you with a baseball bat) has been found to be harmful. That's what I remember last I looked it up. I've done it all my life, at least since I was an elementary school kid, and at 35 I don't think I suffer any negatives from it. I still do it, though not as often as I once did.

I think my main problem is deciding which Xbox to get so I can play Red Dead 2 since who knows if it'll released on PC. I think I'll go for the Xbox One S, since I don't really need the X version. So I'm thinking of waiting until Black Friday to see if there's any good deals but it'll be hard cause I'll want to play before that as it's supposed to come out in two weeks from today. Maybe I'll go for a refurbed Xbox One S and save even more? THE CHOICES. FML

It was supposed to be cloudy today, with bits of sun later on. I hung my clothes out to dry, took a nap around noon, and after waking up, it had rained on my clothes. Look at the forecast, and the sun had been cancelled. Cloudy with chances of sprinkles :^S

To get naps at noon, you have to get up between 4am and 5am. You have to pay for the good stuff :^P

Pretty sure you can get a replacement genie in the bottle.


But will she light up your day?

My neighbor who put speakers on our shared walls appears to have just gotten the new CoD. I'm not sure if I should report him or just deal with it since I'm buying a house soon. I've tried banging on the walls in the past, but it doesn't work.

I got some non thermal long sleeve shirts for work from the thrift shop this weekend. I was checking them out to see which I wanted to wear tomorrow, and I like them all too much to wear to work. I always do that. I need to start buying ugly shit for my work clothes. Maybe pink izods :^/
