Lots of topics but if you really want a months worth of reading I suggest You read it I hit on dating, Why I’m on meds, The wreck, My Cellphone dilemma, and Oral surgery.. Enjoy
start off with last topic. Met with oral surgeon and he said the same as my ortho they should extract the tooth and do an implant screw to my jaw bone leaving me with a gap in my grill for about 10 months. This will extend my time in braces by 5 months. Oral surgery $1,700 Down and a bonus $200 if I want to be out cold for the event. TRUST ME I DO if your yanking a tooth and drilling into my jaw.
Since the last post we have had a blizzard, snowstorm and the big wreck.
My last 3 weeks are a blurr we had a blizzard which put us in a holiday inn downtown for 4 days and 14 inches of snow to disable the city to where in the 1st time in over 130 years the newspaper didn’t print for 2 days and we were doing insane on-air wx coverage 4am-2pm then 4:30-7pm and cut-in’s every 30 minutes in between. It was insane and I’ve not even looked at my timesheet to turn in for the last 2 weeks. I know the 2nd event wasn’t nearly as bad but they put us up at the hyatt this time which has a better bar and food. But when you get from the station at 3pm and have a 1am wakeup call I just want to eat/drink then go curl up in bed and sleep. I hate hotel beds because mine at home and every home I’ve had has always gone east to west because I sleep facing north and south. I can lay in a open field relaxed and tell you what direction were laying without any of the star mumbo jumbo that I forgot long ago. Hotels like to fuck with me and the pillows.. Just give me a body pillow.. I can’t bitch about my roommate because I always get the best. Alan. He is never there unless its that bad out that he can’t make it home to his family. I think I only had 1 night to room with him during these events.
Doctor has been fucking with meds again and I had a nice stable mix but it was causing me to shake to much so I AGAINST the advice of my doc took myself off the med .. THE right way tapper down the dose and started back with an old stable drug which I’d never used in this combo. and until Friday The 11th everything was perfect. Now cover story to co-workers is I took an ambien rather than adderall but the truth is I just got a new prescription refilled and I dunno what the fuck happened but I was sleepy, Slurry, Just in a daze and damnit I needed to be at the top of my game that day come about 7 I came out of it. I did the same thing Saturday to see if it was a fluke and it repeated Fridays results. On Saturday night I cut back the new (old) drug and was fine on Sunday morning. So I guess I’m going back to medicating myself and cutting back.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME (skip if your a common reader). You see me talk about drugs, meds, doctors… Why? Ever since I was about 16 my mind won’t shut off at night. I can count into the thousands in sheep I can sing every song I can lay there still as a mouse and just listen to myself breath while counting each breath. The term is Manic and is typically associated with bi-polar because a bi-polar patient cycles between depression (I’m talking about never get out of bed) depression to manic where they never stop. I’m not and never had the symptoms of bi-polar other than they treat me without the anti-depresants like I am. The medicines they use are powerful and don’t alter my mood unless you call sleepy a mood. I’m the same person on them as I am off just slightly more agitated due to the lack of sleep. I do have a drug that we have been playing with I call the IDGASD or (I Don’t Give A Shit Drug) and this was mostly for anxiety with moms heart issue but has helped some at work and I take on a as needed basis compare it to xannax. (commonly given to dogs to calm them).
Other things the online girl has turned into a random chat girl and nothing more than that I’ve not gone out with her or seen her. There is a new online option that has my interest but major consequences because she doesn’t live in Tulsa or within 100 miles of it. She is a bit older but conversations are engaging and entertaining. I would go visit her as she is an hour away but she has strings and lots of them. I’m still thinking how I feel about them. If she lived closer and I’d not have to uproot I’d probably have already met her and strings could be sorted easier. All this being said as I’ve only just met this person.. Plus the age thing is creepy I’m used to being the older one in a relationship not the younger one.
I went to church with Cassie a few Saturday nights ago and met a young lady who was greeting that night and she was very attractive. She sat near Cass and myself and I noticed she had no ring but had a child. (stickers for pairing up kids and parents). I got her name but not a single person I know from the church knows her or anything about her. I went last night for a few reasons to see if I could run into this mystery girl and catch a chance to chat up some of the pastor staff that I like to talk to. Cass is busy with some conference in Dallas and couldn’t make any of the services.
They are restarting FUSE the 30-40’s group but they host them on Sunday nights starting at 7pm. Thats like the latest I can be up on a Sunday because I flip my sleep schedule on Sunday to allow me to have a normal weekend.. I guess 2 weeknds from now I’m going to have a really screwed up schedule and pray I wake up for work. I want to find a small group that I can meet more people in our church.
The Big Wreck.
Over the past 8 years we have had a storm chase vehicle that we have chased in put over 200K of miles and between Dustin, Paul and myself hundreds of hours gearing it up with the very best of the best equipment and gear for chasing a tornado and giving the viewer at home a view and ride along. A few weeks ago a co-worker was driving down a road coming back to the station and some idiot pulled out in front of him and what we think totaled he vehicle. Ended up having to goto the salvage yard and salvage tons of equipment and gear and I had the task of storing and inventory of everything that came back in many pieces by many people
iPhone -vs- Android
Our work phones are going away and they are instead giving us a credit on our payroll. I have a brand new Samsung Mesmerize (top of the line for US Ceullar) that I really like except its battery life. That I can take to a personal US Cell account(without having to buy the phone) that runs $109 a month station gets a 15% discount and station pays over $50 so it comes to about $40 a month I’ll be taking on for a phone. OR I can jump to verizion and get an iPhone 4 and be back on the iphone bandwagon with slightly better battery life more apps (but I don’t play games so 99% of those apps don’t mean crap). The mesmerize has a 10pix cam as does the iphone flash etc. The thing I like about the mesmerize is how it handles contacts I have 3 lists all over 107 ppl and they are all a motly crew of old and new plus exchange contacts from work. I have 15 days to make this choice before I lose my phone # I’ve had for 5 years (record for me). If I go with the iPhone I have to buy the phone and pay about the same $40 a month. sidenote US Cell roams on Verizon so I’d have the same coverage. Who Knows.. Not even I know. I might have to pay a deposit with US Cell thats the only downfall because when I was 16 I didn’t pay a bill for 5 years.
if you read all of this thanks, Sorry for the lack of updates its just been hell.
