KG's Hideaway

It's pretty fucking hot outside. No clue what the temp is because I didn't drive my truck today. Yes, I know there are other ways to find out the temp but I'm too lazy. My truck has a thingy on the ceiling that tells me what direction I'm going and what the internal and external temps are, so it's nice and easy. Perfect for someone as lazy as I am.

Ryan and I went to Kohl's today. They are having a magnificent sale, but sadly there weren't too many things that I couldn't live without. I got Ryan a really cute little skirt, Austin some flip flops and Craig some shirts. Nothing for myself, if you can believe that. Nothing! I was just totally disinterested. Blah.

I have a prong on my engagement ring that I've bent. It's pretty bad and that prong is almost all the way up to the top prong. My engagement ring is .75 ct marquis diamond surrounded with .75ct of baguette diamonds. I need to take it in and have the prongs rebuilt but I don't want to be without my rings. I'd still have my wedding ring, but I don't take my rings off... ever. Not even when I had surgery. They had to just put tape over my finger because I wasn't going to take it off. Now, I guess I don't have a choice =0(

Well, I got another email from the soldier we "adopted" in Iraq. The last time I sent a package I threw in a box of that Crystal Light- On the Go packets. I guess those were good and the guys liked 'em, so I'll probably throw in a few boxes, along with snacks and magazines when I mail him a box on Monday. He was home last month for a couple of weeks, but he's back in Iraq now. I feel bad for him. He's got a wife and kids but he's having to spend a year away from home, like our other troops, to try and fight that battle. It's just sad all the way around. Hopefully, they'll all be home, safe and sound, sometime in the not too distant future.

I feel like crap again. It seems to be a viscious cycle and I can't stay feeling good for more than a week or two then it's right back into the shit hole. I'm actually sick of being sick. I'm tired, but I can't help but wonder if I'm tired from getting too much sleep. I'm just going to go lay down til it's time to go to the airport. If I'm lucky, Craig will be able to leave the speedway and go get him for me. I feel awful enough that I'm not even worried about missing the race tonight. THAT is bad! kdgr
