I love EFT and BSFF, stuff like that.  Anyway, I thought I would try self hypnosis and then getting my hubby to read me stuff i had written.  The first time he read it, you could say I wasn&#8217;t in a trance, hehe.  All I did was argue with him in my mind.  &#8216;You&#8217;ll never smoke again&#8217;&#8230; me: eeeyeah right, watch me!  stuff like that&#8230;</p>
<p>but the second time i was just sort of listening instead of arguing with him, and it was about stuff like cooking and cleaning, stuff i never do basically&#8230;</p>
<p>So since this time I have done the dishes TWICE simply because I wanted it clean!!  but I must admit that it may have backfired a bit, in that a mess may drive me nuts now, but i still feel no desire to do anything about it <img src='http://www.wonderstruck.com/What.the/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   so in the end, i just added to the list of things that drive me nuts.. i&#8217;m not sure if i should try the hypnosis thing again&#8230;</p>

I totally freaked out and made my husband jump thru hoops to get it back up.  he was talking with tech support and his cheek pressed the disconnect button, and he wouldn&#8217;t phone them back, so I totally freaked out at that too.  Luckily, my internet connection came back up magically a few moments later.  I had been staring lifelessly at my email inbox, when suddenly it got an email, and we were back in business! all i gotta say is WHEW!  I was envisioning a life yawning before me with no access to the outside world, someday somebody would come over and find my corpse with my bony finger over the refresh button.  but no, we&#8217;re ok now.. just so you all know <img src='http://www.wonderstruck.com/What.the/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I have been so sick lately.  I thought maybe it was from lack of sleep, but maybe it&#8217;s from lack of good food.  My husband hasn&#8217;t been cooking lately.  Believe me, when it&#8217;s the man who cooks they don&#8217;t take it as such a moral imperative as women do.  But I also have this weird textured skin on my boobies.  I googled it and it&#8217;s a symptom of inflammatory breast cancer.  I tried to find something ELSE it was a symptom of, but couldn&#8217;t.  So I have that in the back of my mind.  I have been meaning to get to the doctor, but my doctor is kinda useless, always trying to act like everything is nothing, always trying to take the &#8216;do nothing&#8217; route.  Plus I&#8217;m also a weird person, in that I have a bit of a death wish lol.. Today is a good day to die. <img src='http://www.wonderstruck.com/What.the/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>my husband was complaining that our place isn&#8217;t cozy enuff, and it is pretty modern and industrial.. we have black metal futons with black covers (always covered in chihuahua hair).. so i was trying to look into the ikea site for blankets, and suddenly i remembered these flannel duvet covers with a brown and creme plaid pattern on them.. so i covered the two couches and i&#8217;m trying to tell myself it&#8217;s shabby chique.  i don&#8217;t mind it though, as a make shift move for the cozier.</p>
<p>anyway, after this is over, it will look bigger on the couch/tv side of the room, but i will be cramped in behind the tv in my computer area.  i wish i could think of something different, but i can&#8217;t.  i&#8217;ve been thinking about it for two days.  aaah well, onward and upward.</p>
