New cell phone for grandma


Mami Albina recevied her first cell phone today, at the age of 79! Angie and I got it for her earlier this week and just couldn't wait to tell her...but we had to keep it from her until this weekend! Angie put her phone on her plan and I bought her the phone. It's not an iPhone nor is it the Blackberry Storm...we just thought she might abuse of all the extras if we got the internet, music downloads, navigation, etc. ; ) We got her a basic phone for an elderly person, so she can easily see the keypad and the big numbers on the screen. I sooo wanted to see her reaction but unfortunately I didn't go to west Texas. I called her this morning and for some reason after several rings it went to voicemail. But I knew by now Angie had already given her the birthday gift. Then a couple of minutes later, Mami Albina called me back. I let her enjoy the music...the ringback tone I set of her to listen when she calls me. Yep, the theme song to her novela "Vale Mas Un Buen Amor"! I think she LOVED IT!! She was so grateful and EXCITED about her new phone!
I've been awake since 5:00. I was in the same sleeping position from when I went to sleep so I guess I didn't toss and turn. I do feel 80% better. That medicine it's doing it job! I just don't understand why I woke up so early and couldn't go back to sleep...it's a Saturday...i like to sleep in on Saturdays!

Sucks being sick!

Thursday, I went to work dragging my --- or rather my legs. I didn't call in for a sub earlier because I didn't have all my things together.
During conference period, I went to one of my teammates class and before saying hi he said "you look like shit" (no there weren't any kids in the classroom but the way he said it, I'm sure the neighbor classroom heard it through the wall.) And no it didn't really offend me since i know how this guy is, but i couldn't really laugh i guess i wasn't in the mood. I just stood there frozen with my hands in my sweater, as if I was taking a word bash in a sitcom. He then nicely said, "I can say that to you right?" "Sure" i said.
Soon there after i got a sub to come in for the afternoon. I went home to try to rest and sleep and didn't bother making an appointment because I thought the sickness would just pass. Tossing and turning wasn't really helping me sleep or rest. Thinking I would feel better by Friday morning, nope I saw just about ever hour of the morning! It was a loooong night! (When you dream about the TAKS and it has already past...you know I had a fever!!)
Yes, I know I still look like shit and i feel like shit so I made a doctors appointment. I thought it better NOT be the darn flu...you always think that when you spend your money getting the flu shot. Well it wasn't, instead I have strep throat plus a sinus infection and an ear infection. At least it's just in one ear!
I have a bone to pick with pharmacist. They told me the medicine was going to be ready at 3:30 so i went to pick up and no...it wasn't ready. The lady told me to go at 4:15 and so i did and she said no, not ready yet either and just to come in after 5:30. She should have just told me to go in after 5:30!! Ahhh!!!!
So, i text my friend that is a pharmacist and here's what I text..."I dislike pharmacists! my meds aren't' ready and they said it was going to be ready at 3:30!! damn those rich asses taking their sweet ass time...y uno muriendose aqui!!" Here's the response...."Sometimes ...people r busy and u aren't the only damn sick person in the world...that's why u should call b4 u go" She knows i was totally kidding!!
I texted a few friends/family to tell them i wasn't going to Odessa as planned for my grandmother's surprise birthday party. It's for the best that I stay, I would hate for my family and friends to get sick because of me. Anyhow, one of my reply messages was "damn!!! "you got all kinds of shit"! Another said "just drink a lot of liquids and toughen up!" In a phone call, I was told I sound like shit! (Chin....siempre me estan echando cagada mis supestamente amigos!!) I guess I'm a whiner!I feel a lot better now since I'm writing this but it's still contagious for another 24 hours.
