Interesting discovery

I haven't done much over the last few days on my blog but configure the adsense. I've asked friends and family to help with some of the settings and also click a few links to see how this thing works. So far it's pretty straight forward. I should add a bit more color to my blog and also more content. I was told to keep my blog simple as to not overwhelm people who visit it. I should categorize the topics and my rants in separate blogs. Then I thought to myself, I'm already lazy enough as it is and you want me to go galavanting the entire www to just organize my RANTS?

I do like having comments to improve. So I guess I just need to put in a bit more effort. Since my hubby got me a brand new lappy, I'm motivated to make things work a bit more on my blog. It seems fun to be writing some sort of an online diary about what I've been doing or am planning to do. My memory isn't so good these days and lack of sleep is taking its toll. I'm grateful for a wonderful daughter, she's a baby after all even if she does sleep a full night (I REALLY mean a full night 10-12 hours she's broken records by sleeping 14 hours once) I find it difficult to fall asleep. I feel unfulfilled as I spend most of my days serving and entertaining her. I feel like I've made myself into a court jester for the little princess. I love kids..don't get me wrong but being home day in day out is driving me insane. I don't only lose the sense of time and I also lose common sense on some things. I haven't been up to date as to what's been going on with the world as it seems to be too much to absorb. I'm lucky if I remember my name. Which leads me to this:

I was on the phone making an appointment for a surgery I am suppose to go to but it would have to be done only next March. I have no idea who to contact and what to say to these people once they answered the phone. I assumed that if I called and explain to them what my situation was it would be enough.

To my HORROR, when they asked my name...I hesitated for a whole minute. The lady was not convince that I was who I said I was hence she asked for my social security number twice. I got it right the first time and got it wrong the second time and so on. It sounded right in my head but I uttered it out wrongly.

I thought to myself...'What on earth is wrong with this woman?! Why couldn't she understand me?' Then she explained to me that there aren't 80 days in October to make my social security number such. When I ran the numbers through my head and said it out loud I then realized after saying it the 5th time what I said wrong. I am normally a bit of an airhead in the mornings or when I'm über tired but lately I'm an airhead 80% and also an absent-minded professor.

After this whole encounter with the name and the social ID. I forgot what I called them for <.<". So they pulled up whatever information they had on me to job my memory. After an awkward 3 mins on the phone going through my hideous medical history, it finally hit me that I called them to book a time for the surgery. Then came this line of questions as to which doctor would perform my surgery and how...I said "Listen ma'am...just a moment ago I forgot my first name and said my social ID wrong over 10 times...How would you think I'd remember the name of a doctor I haven't met and on top of it a strange name for a surgery which involves cutting my knee open and inserting a laser sort thingy to fix the broken ligaments?". She then said that she'll ask the doctor who diagnosed the problem to me to call me...I wasn't convinced as I knew I'd have to probably go through all this again. So she did I obliged and the doctor called.

I'll keep the story short by saying that I got this all cleared but I still have to make an appointment with the hospital for said doctor to perform the surgery. I'll be in a cast for 2-3 weeks hence I would be needing some help from relatives to care for my dear daughter.

So now I know what I will be facing around March, I've decided then I'll spend my time brushing up on my work skills as well as spend more time writing my blog. Don't worry I won't bore you only with news on my recovery but I'll try to add the recipes as I go along. Now I'll end my post with good night while I still figure out the adsense-nonsense. :)

A day indeed

Alyssa at 4 months 3weeks or so :)

I haven't been writing much on my blog after Alyssa was born. I've been randomly passing by and thinking of updating it every now and what not. I've been doing lots of surfing on the web to find new recipes to try and reinvent, tips on photography (yes I'm a lousy photographer), tips on sewing (yes this too <.<) and all the other DIY things you can think about. I have been thinking of putting the little slugger into some sort of photoshoot hence I've been googling up child photography. I found an exciting hobbyist that has made this into a business of hers. It's these types of people that got me thinking of what are my talents and hobbies that I can put into use. Provided my lazy bones don't get in the way I can pretty much do anything.

Before Alyssa was born I planned to digitize all my recipes so they don't get lost but sadly that was a dream. I've again let the lazy bones take over me and I've been too occupied with feeling sorry for myself (thank you post pregnancy hormones) and trying to cope with the new person in my life. It has been going great I have to say, she's been relatively easy and like most babies love the attention from their parents. I've never felt so close to someone so little and have never thought I'd be so in love with this little person.

Some people say somethings happen for a reason, the things I've gone through in the past has let me up to this day and of course there were the good and the bad times but everything happens for a reason. Nevertheless, I'll try to upkeep my blog from now on and will add recipes here for those who are interested.
