"urban area with the peace of the countryside" let us know where you it dixie.

It has been a very intense last few days for me. Most of it has to do with my hearing ability/identity/memories/dating/insecurities about pretty much any human relationship. and it feels very haunting. I hate it. The last few days could sum up how the ethical issues in my life have been approached and has produced this undesirable effect that I'd rather reset my life somehow. Meh. People only care if my issue affects them somehow. I just need to keep adapting/roll with the punches and keep my chin up.

hmmm, i got almost relate with that...the wish for reseting my life bit...blah - we can't...hell I Fucking can't, if that more honest...I mean I have a secret suspicious that some people some how can, or they just don't care, while that's in the floodlight, I also think if we get hurts it means we care, but maybe just maybe we dont know where to place it (metaphorically speaking)...oh well but yeah just shrug and say fuck it...but its not the same as 'dont care' its more about 'dont let it worry you' just the same way 'how would it not worry that next person'? sort of thing i get myself to think more these days which helps me to cope and realise I CAN move on...its really like a choice..(but i dont like that word choice, its another entire different matter that..) \Cheer up Man CraigM

trust me that those 'down days' are just shadows, there's warmer spots in life...just let the clouds float past...then the sun will warm your metaphorical days...

I'd rather be completely deaf or completely hearing.

It is a choice to control the things in your life that you can control. I think some of those incidents are where I or someone else takes my hearing to be better than it really is, so misunderstandings/confusion/frustration ensues. What was unique about this past weekend was "Craig, why do you like to hang out with Asians? Don't you think the parents wouldnt be as receptive to you as their kids?" I'm white, tall and male but I still consider myself a bit of a "minority" because of the level of hearing impairment I'm at. I grew up in a white, somewhat wealthy suburb, and things like having a hearing aid were noticed, and it felt stigmatic in a bad way.

It has been somewhat of a "perfect" storm of situations that have just added up and sometimes I pause and go "why". Normally, a lot of things don't affect me but compact different issues in a spam of a few days, blah. I'll get past it in a few days...keep grinding away at school and work and know what I do best.

Went to the gas station with my husband and got a new candy bar, Peanut Butter Snickers, it was kind of like Reese's with caramel on top.

Then went for a long walk with my older daughter and ate half a turkey sub.

Now just sitting here with my dogs. Slow day.

They're giving out samples of the PB Snickers at work today. I picked up two fun size ones for my girls.
 
Has been raining here since last night (a few minutes after the Super Bowl)...and still raining! Everybody woke up late...had to drive the boys to school...and my doggie 100% refuses to have anything to do in the rain!...Keeping an "watchful" eye on the rug at the door!...She's been holding it since last night!...Wish I had a bladder like that! :lol:

Gee - we've had no rain and we are very dry. The wind has been out of this world with gusts of 20-40 MPH.

You can find these places if you know where to look. Sterling Colorado is one of those places but the cost of living is high.

I guess I should have clarified and said I'd like to live someplace out in the country but not so far from everything in the city.

There's Vilonia, AR, that is just outside of Conway, not too far from anything. It's about a 15 minute drive from Vilonia to Conway. Then there's Dover that is just 7 miles north of Russellville. Just about anything North of Dover is mountains.

I should have typed out..."when you find" that place...seems like you know what you want which is good...it's getting there that makes it a bit rough.
 
Worked, went to ASL2 class. Good, simple day without much awkwardness. My headphones broke (earbuds for iPhone) after two months and using a cheap, over the ear back-up headphones which, unfortunately leaks a lot of sound and got complaints from the cubicle neighbors. I explained to them that my normal ones were broken and I'd try to keep the music down. I listen to a lot of music to drown out the background noises in the office.
 
Today was definitely a Monday. The Sunday clouns at work fucked up majorly. They left 700 eggs backed up in my poultry house this morning and took me an hour and a half extra to work through it. My aunt will likely rip them a new one. Photos of the mess can be found on my facebook page under mobile uploads. It is a pic of 3 10 gallon buckets filled to the brim with eggs. On top of that Tyson did not leave us enough flats for all of the eggs, we had to borrow 48 flats from the other houses just to finish what we had during the second gathering. FAIL. Now the other two houses are short 48 flats. I have a feeling my aunt's husband will give Tyson an ear full. Hauling flats from one end of the farm to the other isn't part of our job description. We loaded these into the back of our trucks and moved them.

I'm just glad this Monday is over. Given how today went things *should* go fairly smoothly this week.

Also got my oil changed today, cost me $40 USD. Meh.
