Weather Pixie & PostCrossing

Hi ya everyone!

Hope ya'll are feeling alright today. My head is a bit better. I'm not taking the Topamax right now. I did take it for like 4 days,but I would still have pain going straight across my forehead. All the pain else where on my head like behind my ears and temples had totally stopped. It said on the box that it could increase eye pressure and that kinda freaked me out you. I had thought that maybe my head was just sore from laying up in the bed 3 or 4 days with magraine headaches having nothing to take that really stopped the pain, but now I'm kinda scared to take the Topamax again. I mean my head is not really hurting me I don't want to send it into a downward spiral of pain and agony. The doc had called me in some med Darvocet til I could get to see him

I'm gonna have to talk to my doc about it. He told me to tell my mom if the Topamax works for her to call his office and tell him. Dr. Halim knows how shy I am. He knows I wouldn't be able to call for myself. LOL When I called my penpal in MA I was soo nervous she could probably tell by the sound of my voice. That day it got really warm outside we had turn the air conditioning on for awhile. While I talked to her I got really cold, told to hang on a sec when I came back to the phone I said I just had to turn the air off. And she was like what turn the air off? she asked what was the temp outside. She said at her house you'd hear them say turn the heat up!! I think she said it was like in the 30's.

I didn't have my CAT scan done on Monday. We had problems that day with our car, plus not to mention how early in the morning the appt was! And I know somebody would say 10:00 o'clock ain't that early. Well it is in my world. LOL I'm just not the happy morning person! They are gonna reschedule the appt hopefully I'll get an afternoon appt this time and our car won't decide to break down.

I put up a Weather Pixie so everybody can see what the weather is doing here in Shreveport. I think the pixie looks cool. Her clothes change depending on the weather. You can get your own by clicking mine it'll send you straight to their site or I can just post the link here: http://weatherpixie.com You can see what the weather is like at this moment all around the world.

I was aimlessly searching around the web couple days ago. Meaning I was bored outta my mind I had things I could have been doing instead, but just didn't feel like doing much at the time. LOL I found a website called Postcrossing - The Postcard Crossing Project http://www.postcrossing.com/ I'm pretty sure that I will become addicted to PostCrossing just like I'm addicted to BookCrossing and I'm addicted to blogging on this blog. LOL Hey Daisy do you think you'll sign up and start sending postcards out too? My username there is: DuyugodvAyosdi. Okay here's the lowdown on it this is info I got from the site:

The Project

The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world, for free. Well, almost. The main line is: if you send a postcard, you'll receive at least one back, from a random postcrosser somewhere in the world.

Why? Because there are lots of people who like to receive stuff by mail. If you add to that, the surprise factor of receiving postcards from different places in the world that you probably never heard about, you can turn your mailbox into a little surprise box.

How does it work?

First, the short version:
request an address from the website
mail the postcard to the address
wait to receive a postcard
register the received postcard in the system

The first step is to request an address of someone else registered in the system to where you must mail a postcard. You will receive that address by email, plus a postcard ID (e.g.: US-78) which uniquely identifies that postcard in the system.

Then, you must mail the postcard, and you should write on it the postcard ID given to you - that will allow the person who receives it to register that postcard on the website. That will make you the next person whose address will be given out to the next postcrosser who asks for an address to mail a postcard to.

In the end this works like a chain allowing people to receive at least two postcards when sending one: one from the person you sent the postcard to, and another from a random user of the system.

You may request up to 5 addresses at one time. When your postcards are received, and you are notified by e-mail, then you can request 5 more.
