Rainy Tuesday

Oh my goodness – I cancelled my AOL account today. Do any of you know what a freaking fiasco that task is? I got excited when I heard an automated service, but when it got to my secret code, it couldn’t understand what I said, so it switched me to live help. This guy kept me on the phone about ten minutes trying to give me a free month after my newest billing cycle is over. All I wanted to do was cancel. He kept telling me that I wasn’t getting the most out of my AOL. Truthfully, I didn’t use the features they offered anyway. I only used email, so having two email accounts was no good for me. Needless to say, it was an ordeal.

One of my good friends from band (one of the instructors from two years ago) called me and asked if I went to Eddie’s memorial service. First of all, I wish I had. Oh yeah, and he was buried this past Friday, August 26th, two weeks and one day after his death in Afghanistan. Wow, it takes a body so long to get home from there. But when she called, all the thoughts of Eddie came back and I was almost back where I started. I am a little better now, but it was hard at first. I saw pictures of his funeral online. It was hard to look at my friends going through something so sad. I’ll post more links to Eddie later on.

Geez – it’s REALLY windy here. We’re getting remnants of Hurricane Katrina, now TS Katrina, I guess. It just stopped down-pouring as well. Macy’s probably hiding and Lucy’s probably crying. She does when she wants attention, and she always ends up getting it! We had ants in the apartment (commonplace in SC) and they were making a trail on the kitchen floor. I found that after hearing Lucy cry in the kitchen (the first time I’d ever heard her do that). I ran to see what was wrong and she was looking at the ant line and crying (not whining or vocalizing, but crying!).

I can’t think of anything more to write. LOL
