I have a new computer! It's a Christmas present from my Mom and I'm SO happy she got it for us. The old was was dying fast and needed a chip clip (yes, the kind you use on bags of potato chips) on its monitor to make it work. We set the new one up last weekend and so far, I love it. My only complaint is that sound system. What was a "30" on the old laptop is a "60" on this and it's kind of tinny. There doesn't seem to be any way to set the bass or treble and it makes listening to TV shows on here rather difficult. Other than that one issue, it's damn near perfect and MUCH faster than our old one. Then again our old one was bought in the spring of 2007.

My ear has been itching me non-stop and is driving me crazy. I've been trying some of those over the counter ear wax drops, but they're not doing any good. I'm guessing I'm getting an ear infection. They're quite common with me. I'm not going to head to the doctor's at this stage, I already will have enough medical bills coming up with what happened to my back and every time I use the antibiotic ear drops they prescribe for me, I lose even more hearing in my right ear. For some reason, the infections are always in the right ear. So, I ordered some homeopathic stuff online that's worked better than the antibiotics in the past. It should be here on Wednesday. Until then, I'm going to be itching at my ear like some crazy dog.

You know one thing I really like about this computer? The keyboard doesn't decide to skip random letters as I type. Though the keyboard does take some getting used to because it's spaced out differently.

Gabriel is a hacker. On the lunch menu board (which is computerized and then projected onto a wall) he changed the words on the lunch from home bag from "brown bag" to "nothing". His teacher has no idea how he did that. To do so he would have had to have gotten onto her computer, found the program, and changed something that she doesn't even know how to change. Heh. My little hacker. Half the time when I ask him what he wants to eat he says "nothing", so when I saw that written there, I knew it had to have been him.

Now, onto some feminine issues. You can skip the rest of this entry if you don't want to know about them.

I had to call my Ob/Gyn's office this morning to see if I could get my Depo shot a week early. My appointment is usually for 11 weeks and would have been next Tuesday the 27th. However, I've been bleeding since the 5th (3 weeks straight now) and it's getting worse and worse. Also, as of Friday night I developed the hormonal drop headache that medicine won't help - I know the only way to stop it is when I get my next shot. Even then it takes a few days for the bleeding and headache to stop. Luckily, they seemed fine with my coming in tomorrow (at 10 weeks) because of the bleeding. Seems they'll allow a week early if the bleeding is bad.
