Update @ MindSay

Fuzzy was moved into a room late yesterday.They are monitoring his heart and his kidneys,slowly taking him off oxygen.He is still having diaherria  though. they cant get that under control.Peggy was very tired this morning when I talked with her. She looked it yesterday,but today you hear it in her voice. She has today covered.Hopefully she can get some sleep while her mom takes dialysis, as her aunt will pick her mom up afterwards.Peggy plans to go home and try to sleep a bit. She needs to. I'm concerned about her. She is gonna collaspe if she doesn't rest soon...She will probably get me to help her tomorrow...
James and I went yard sale-ing  this morning. it gives us something to do and we never spend much. Maybe a few dollars. Its our Saturday morning routine! We found Morgan a drum set for xbox today! called and woke him up to ask if he wanted them...just $7.00!!! They put everything at half price after 11 am! They are gonna have a great yard sale by doing this and they were cheap anyway! Orginally the drums were $15.00!  Came with the rock revolution game. I just hope they work! She said they did and they seem to be in great shape! Wont know til Morgan uses them!
Last weekend we went to Hillsville to the huge flea market there. I didnt think it was as crowded as in years past. Because of the recession many didn't travel for it. Even the vendors were down.We still enjoyed it, just getting away for a day was good! Got to see Morgan too, as he popped home for the weekend cause he bought a drum set and had to pick up his glasses that came in.It was hot though last weekend! I was ready to quit at 2, but James insisted we rest a bit then plow on some more! I was wore out! we got there at 9 that morning, and we finally quit about 4:30...still about 3-4 hours left that next day to cover it all. We got to our room about 5 and collasped. I got a shower and saw that I was sunburned! ouch! I put sunscreen on! anyway, we walked over to Sagebrush to eat. we were too beat to drive anywhere. waited an hour to sit, then waited 30 mintues for our food.... Finished at 8 then went back to room and fell into bed! we were asleep by 10! whew! Up at 7 next day and started again! we finished about 10:30...I will never do that again! I cant take the heat anymore. I feel like i'm gonna pass out in it. today while yard sale-ing I felt like it again. I get really weak all of a sudden and feel shaky, and cant get a good breath... I dont know what it is...but it bothers me. Since I turned 46 this year, I feel like my body is deserting me... Perimenopause... Hot flashes, cold,chills, now this with the heat. I get too hot now...Maybe I should get checked out by the doctor. Mood swings too! I can bite someones head off if they cross me at the wrong time of the month now!!!I cant help it either. Family will just have to deal with it!! looks like I've got a ways to go before I'm out. Most of my friends tell me it ends about the time you turn 50ish!! So I'm looking at 4 more years of this!??? Ouch!!!
We went to the West game last night..It was really wierd with Ariana not cheering... Still saw a lot of parents there whose kids graduated with Ariana. Even saw some there home for the weekend from college. Just as 4th quarter started,it starts raining...I look at James and start laughing...we wait a bit, and it starts getting harder, so pack up and leave. passed several others and we said"No need to get wet this year! Not sitting in any rain!" everyone laughed. last year see, it practically rained every football game! and we had to stay then! With Ariana cheering and James head of concessions, there was no leaving. Sat under an umbrella most of the season and learned to deal with getting wet! So, last night was fun to get up and leave with everyone else!! We sat in car and listened to the rest of the game...West won, 28-21...Its a wonder though as many passes as they threw and missed,dropped or whatever...They lost over half the team as most were Sr.'s. last years team was great..
Of course all the parents still there saw James and tried to get him back,or tell him they miss him doing concessions! Some even told him that it went downhill a bit! Oh well! It's time for other parents to step up to the plate and do it!! The new couple that took over the concessions said they didnt really know just how much work it took to keep it up! Ha! We told em!!its like having a second job with no pay! and then no other parents want to help.."Oh I have to see my child play!" what's one night??? oh well, not our concern anymore! we will go to most of the home games I guess. I especially want to see Homecoming... the athletic director gave James a pass for this year, for all the years he put in as head of concessions. Old saying goes, no one appreciates you until you aren't there!
Wow! 2 days at once on here1 I'm on a roll!!

Summer Accomplishments:
- Finished off the Battle CDs on Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AT FUCKING LAST - I'm finally up-to-date with these blogs.
I've noticed that if I write a blog on the night of the actual day, it's WAY more detailed than if I leave it blank and update it later.

Hear me Dixie - no blank blogs - unless you're falling asleep on your keyboard or there's a pressing matter, like the ceiling being forced to cave in by the elves dancing in the loft.
Mmm, yes Dixie... :(

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I knew I would end up doing - I managed to finish off all 50 Battle CDs on Pokémon XD.

And I caught enough useless wild Pokémon to swap all my uber stuff from Collosseum onto my XD save.
That way I can have all the Pokémon on the better game - and have a whole white memory card free.

One never knows when I'm going to get more games.
(I mean seriously, I can hardly see myself playing Doshin The Giant anytime soon. That fucker takes up a whole 50+ blocks.)

Oddly enough though - it's taken me nearly all day to do that.

In the meantime, I had my GameCube set up alongside my Wii  - I had Mario Party 5 running with a 50-turn all-computer board. Tee hee, it can unlock mini-games FOR me. I don't have to do A THING.
Wah ha ha ha.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I actually ventured out of the house today - shock fucking horror.
Mam wanted me to go to the chemists and pick up some medicine for her.
I did so - listening to Lisa on my way. I listened to Extreme, Rammstein, Cannibal Corpse and Unearth. Not a bad combination.

I'm thinking of re-making the NEW PLAYLIST. Some of the songs are getting stale. That and I need to make room for the new legendary tunes making their way into my brain. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On my way back, I stopped into Asif's and bought a Yorkie.
I was served by that random woman with the short grey hair and the glasses.
She said to me: "Eeee, I haven't seen YOU in a while."

I used to go there every Saturday with Adam and buy Cherry Coke, crisps and chocolate.
Of course, that's before the "credit crunch". Ah, the days when chocolate bars used to be 40p...

I replied: "I'm still here." - and I smiled.

She was really kind to me as well - I said: "Can I have a Yorkie please?"
She goes: "OF COURSE YOU CAN DARLIN'!"
(Of course, this amused me, but I kept my giggles in.)

Because it's so warm recently, and they don't keep the chocolate in a fridge - it was starting to melt.
But it was at the point where it's good melting - not bad melting.
Not melting to the point where it makes you look like you've been anally fingering someone with the runs - just melting to the point where when it enters your mouth, it slowly melts on your tongue.

It was that tasty, I'd actually finished it before I got back in the house. :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made myself fish fingers and chicken noodles - drank about 5 pints of water with ice-cubes, then went back to Pokémon XD.

My team now is:
- a level 76 Jolteon ("Spike")
- a level 74 Breloom ("Loonie")
- a level 93 Espeon  ("Emily")
- and a level 91 Typhlosion ("Volvic")

(All of which are nicknamed after characters in my fan fiction TFATH.)
I can't be fucking arsed with the Orre Collosseum. I can't be bothered with levelling them all to 100.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's so mint - because I've gotten into the habit of drinking shitloads of water - my piss is CLEAR.
Just the way piss should be. Practically clear, with a minor tinge of yellow to it.
It's so refreshing too. Not like that semi-dehydrated piss that feels like you're passing treacle out of your twat.

(Number of graphic metaphors in this blog... currently 2. :D)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to my Backloggery - 40% of my games are unfinished.
That's not bad - it works out at about 72 that I need to complete.
Rofl, I have all the fucking time in the world.

(Well, all the time until September anyway.)

Can't believe I've only been left college for like a week and a bit.
It feels like AGES.

At least tomorrow I'll have something - or to be more exact somone, to entertain me.
I was going to go to Ash's tomorrow, but I can't - dad would have ended up dropping me off at 7:30AM.

10:30AM is DAFT EARLY.
But 7:30AM is FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY STUPIDLY BASTARD EARLY.

And Ash wouldn't like that.
Pmsl, I don't think I fucking would either. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shelly's been on the phone to me a lot today.
She's actually managed to get a signal out in the middle of nowhere.
The silly cow's gone and got sunstroke. She's been throwing up and getting dizzy all day.
If I was there with her, I'd rub after-sun on her back and make her feel better.

Despite the shitty signal failing on occassion, we've had some pretty insightful conversation today.
Disregarding the fucking twenty minutes  we spent talking about fucking STAIRS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This blog hasn't stayed on one fucking topic, has it?
Lmfao. From Pokémon XD to pissing treacle.
Oh, the wonders of my disturbed and disorganised mind.

This blog has quite a happy tone to it - considering that "Dixie currently feels depressed."
Hmm, I think I have bi-polar disorder.
YAY! :D

Soooo..... Al, who I thought killed himself, didn't. His family just sorta hated me since I was the one around when everything went bad.

 

I moved out of my dad's place and am now living in my own apartment, going to American River College.

 

I met a spectacular guy one night when my friend dragged me to a club. So I gave Shawn an ultimatum that he had to show he was serious after all this time and live together (like he always said he would) or I would have to end it. So I ended it, and it really, really hurt. It made me feel not so important to him. But after dating a month and a half Aaron and I moved into an apartment together and I'm am very, very happy.

 

Things with my dad have patched themselves up - probably since I moved out and we don't have to see each other all the time. He's happy.

 

I'm gonna start writing on this again. I miss it.

Apple Battery Update 1.3

Apple has released Apple Battery Update 1.3 for the following Macs:



MacBook Pro (15-inch)

MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)

MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo)

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz)

According to Apple, the update "...addresses battery performance issues with the 15-inch MacBook Pro."

About Apple Battery Update 1.3

Apple Battery Update 1.3 updates battery firmware and addresses battery performance issues with the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source while running this update. The Apple battery update is for A1175, and cant fits for A1022 A1045 A1078 A1079.

After the Apple Battery Update has been installed, any additional batteries you put in your 15-inch MacBook Pro are automatically updated.

When will the battery be updated?

The BatteryUpdater will check to see if a Macbook Pro battery needs to be updated on startup, wake from sleep, and when a battery is inserted. If in these cases there is no AC power supplied, it will then wait until AC power is present and then check to see if the battery needs to be updated. If the battery needs to be updated it will update it automatically. Wait at least 30 seconds after inserting the battery, or wait 30 seconds after you've logged in with a user account, before checking to see if the battery was updated.

How to tell the Apple Battery Update 1.3 has been installed

In the Finder, navigate to the SystemConfiguration folder:

1. From the Go menu, choose Go to Folder.

2. Type /System/Library/SystemConfiguration, then click Go.

2. Select the file named BatteryUpdater.bundle.

3. From the File menu, choose Get Info and check the Version.

If the version is BatteryUpdater 1.3, then the system and A1079 battery have been updated.

If no BatteryUpdater.bundle file appears in the SystemConfiguration folder, then please install the updater available here or use Software Update.

All in word, the update only for Macbook Pro 15-inch, not for Macbook Pro 13 battery and Macbook Pro 17 battery
