The computer dude couldn't order the laptop that was comparable to mine for some reason, however, a local electronics store has a couple (a Toshiba and an HP) that look pretty good. He is going to check them out and buy one tonight, then put all my info from the other computer on it and set it up tomorrow. He said I should get it Sunday. That is better than Wednesday. I'm still sad about losing my baby. She was one sexy beast, but hopefully the new one will be able to carry on the sexy beast legacy. We shall see. It looks like it is going to cost more than he thought as well, and I knew it would just because of how much I paid for my previous one. I shall be in debt for more like $600 than $400. I hate owing my parents money and anything I might have been saving for is months away again at the very least. Bah.
My mom is currently at our new neighbour's house telling them that their two pitbills are circling the car of the neighbour on the other side... her son is in the car and can't get out. We had just been commenting on the huge dog prints in our own backyard and I mentioned that these new people next door had big dogs didn't they? The phone rings and it's next door asking if we had some huge dogs visiting us and maybe they got out. Strange coicidence. It's about -30 C outside with a windchill of -42 C, it seems wrong to leave your dogs out in that kind of weather. Not to mention their yard isn't fenced in... and the dogs have trapped a person in a car... They just moved in at the beginning of the month and already they sound fun.
Yesterday I went and had an echocardiogram (an ultra sound of the heart). It was just a test they wanted for the clinical trials to go with all the other tests that they prescribe. My heart is all good. Anyway, after that I went to another place that has a scale that I can use (it's a chair you sit in that weighs you, since I can't stand on a regular one). I apparently have gained another 3 lbs since last month. Ugh. I'm blowing up like a blimp here. It does mean that the drug is working (it means that the glycogen is being flushed out of my muscles and turned into glucose, which if not used then turns into fat) and that is a good thing. I just hope I can turn things around by exercising more (I'm working up to more) so I can maybe start losing a bit to reduce the amount my muscles have to carry around. This would help in me doing more things and feeling (and being) stronger.
