Jacked from kyatto ...

Step One:
- Make an LJ post, albeit public or locked. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. These wishes can be anything, from simple and fandom-related (a fic written about your favorite pairing), to medium (a DVD you want), to really extravagant (a brand new car). Just make sure these are wishes for things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things, like a DVD or CD, make sure you include some sort of contact information in your post. It can be your address or your email address, as long as Santa (or one of his elves) can somehow get in touch with you. ;)
- Make sure you post a version of these guidelines in your LJ, because it's important that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two:
- Skim through your friend's list (or the brand new friends of friend's list, or random journals) to see who has posted their list. Now is the most important part: if you find a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make that person's wish come true. Sometimes your trash is another person's treasure! If you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or you even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - give it to someone who wants it.

Step Three:
- Post this, in your LJ, any time after November 1st. Then repost it two weeks before Christmas.

Step Four:
- You don't need to spend money on these wishes to make them come true. Only spend money if you want to. The point isn't to put people out; it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf. It's to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not. It's all up to you. :)
- There are no rules for this project, nor are their any guarantees or any strings attached. Just wish! Your wish might come true! And give if you can. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday a special one. :)

::crickets reply::
yeah back in Drummondville... ::heaves big sigh:: wihout Salem... He was sick this morning and looked miserable :/ I didn;t think travelling with him for 1 hour and a half would be a good idea. Neither did my mother.... She told me leave him here... he's not a bother and the water is in a fountain and you'll clean up the litterboxes on Friday... no biggie.

So yeah I am going back Friday morning... bright and early if I want to arrive before the garbage passes so I can put the garbage up front.

and the job search continues...

Man... Why do they release those damn dolls when I can't afford them? ;.;

He would make a perfect Akayama... I would have taken the other one in the traditionnal kimono but he's blue... not really the color I would want for Akayama...

Man... ::looks at credit card:: damn it's tempting... Cause I can't count on Santa to bring me one ;.;

Sucks to be me... like always.

Well after 1 month and a half of wondering... the teaching job just fell through. They will keep my name and I had an excellent interview...blablabla... it STILL doesn't give me a job. So :P they kept telling me at first it was a 2D animation teaching position which got muted into 3D... ::shrugs:: Made more applications... I am casting my nets... if all else fails, Walmart and Tim Hortons... I wouldn't like it a 100 percent, but it is still better than social security.

so yeah life is blah at best.

Yesterday I went to see a Christmas Carol in 3D... Loved it although I do have a few critics, I was a bit disapointed with Christmas Present... that was a bit too short. The chase for the Christmas future was WAY TOO LONG! they could have cut a good three minutes from it and tided up the tempo... too long far too long.

Another thing I really hated was during the Christmas past sequence: Granted, we know magic is involved when Scrooge and the Spirit move, but the Fizzywig party... I just disconected. Everythin up to that point was realistic, but Fizzywig and his wife... were dancing like cartoon characters and doing feats not humanly possible. Now that just put me off, you're either realitic or you aren't. You can't put a setting for a movie, then cnahge it in the middle for no good reason. Was it done to be more appealing for kids? I doubt it... I think it's part of an old Storyboard and they dnever did update that part. A big flaw IMHO...

Oh and don't bring young children to this movie... a few parts are kind of nightmare inducing for little tykes.

I wish I had more Tiny tim though... although I cried (because I know the story) I think someone reading this for the first time wouldn't catch the importance of Tiny Tim. It would have been a good way to do character development but it was obviously dropped. I find it sad that they overlooked this and instead gave us a long borish and obviously LOOK We'RE DOING THIS IS 3D!!! COOOL! SFX!!! Close but no cigar.

The movie also ends a bit abruptly... I was expecting (this being a Disney flick) more song and dancing. I think I'll keep the Muppets Version and the British version with Sir Alec Guiness (The FIRST OBI-WAN for us SW geeks) as Marley.(Albert Finney was Ebenezer Scrooge) I loooooved that version... the singing the dancing especially when they do the carrols with the bells in the streets of London... MAN that is GREAT! Thank you very much... thank you very much it's the nicest thing that anyone done to me! :D Best song ever!

Basically the Disney 3D version is a nice adaptation but it's not going down as a Classic in my mind... The Muppets and Sir Alec Guiness versions are timeless and classic and good entertainment. On the side of the Mood though, I do have to give Kudos to Disney for bringing us London as it was in those time, gloomy Victorian and very British.

And it's nice to hear Jim Carrey with a British accent... and actually NOT see his face distort in stupid grimaces... The text although probably very hard to understand for the we folks, is very close to the original text, which was in itself rather refreshing.

I received an e-mail from Featherfall. And I have fallen in love with this auctionned doll

He's gorgeous! I probablby be able to reproduce him if I wanted to... but damn... he's very nice!

IF I HAD MONEY ;.;

well my mother's condition is improoving every day... mine too! I think I am over the bug but I keep a plain diet of onigiri (rice balls) and chicken with some yoghurt and banana puree.

Yum yum

Tomorrow I have to drive my mother to the CLSC so they can take out her stapples. I'll be glad (as she is to see them go)

Saturday I will travel home to check my mails and do a few things and I will come back on the same day... yay.

Next Tuesday we have a second appointment for my mother's physiotherapy. I just hope I can squeeze going to see a Christmas Carol in 3d... this is my holiday tradition, I have to watch at LEAST one version of the Christmas Carol... heck I try to watch each and every version except Scrooged... with Bill Murray... just can't stomach that version... it feels so fake. I know, I know... people love Bill Murray but in that movie... nope not feeling it.

well that is it for now... I haven't much to say besides that.

man I haven;t been this sick in a while... that damn gastro just won't go away ;.;
Yes I decided to make some ricewater to drink...yuck... I have been on anf off since Thrusday evening... I'll call a doctor tomorrow if I am not better.

I am struggling with a stomach bug... and the start of my period... UGH... not fun. Well that will be over soon. I hope the rush to the bathroom stops before I go to bed.

and the cramps >.<....

Well my mother is doing well... she can't wait to move her arm... as I struggle to do her passive exercises and she doesn't want to STAY passive... ::sighs:: She is supposed to let me move her arm and I have to remind her to STOP MOVING her own arm...

wow I hope it doesn't make her arm worse... I don't think so but...
Maybe I just worry too much...

Ow...another damn cramp >.

Well my mother is finally home. YAY

I have to do Physiotherapy on her for the next 2 weeks. Three times a day, it's not too bad but it does take some time to do it all.

My mother's roomate was sad to see her go, we promised we'd come and see her next week with a threat.

My own shoulder is aching from doing the Physio on my mother... it's good exercise LOL...

Next is to put her to bed and myself get some rest.

I am EXHAUSTED! This was my longest day at the hospital and now my batteries are running low. I had to get up really early cause I had to learn what I have to do for my mother in terms of exercises. It's passive moving (she doesn't move her upper arm I do it for her) It's 3 exercises where I have to move her arm. I have to take off the harness and support her arm.

I'll write more about it later. That hospital room was so damn warm today, it sapped all of my energies. But my mother is coming out for sure tomorrow. She'll probably sleep better at home too. There's an annoyng woman in the room juyst opposite to her, she had a leg operation. She sleeps through the day and stays up all night, being a pain in the behind. My mother had to call for help cause she managed to climb out of bed and go SPLAT >.< She was trying to get back into bed when my mother called the nurses. she was badly bruised. She kept telling the nurses it was their fault of course.

All the security around the bed was up, so she must have climbed over them cause like my mother said there's NO WAY she could have rolled out of bed. This morning she wanted t be out of the hospitl and wanted to rip her IV out, the nurses did their best to calm her but she refused to listen to them and her own doctor ordered her to be sedated. So she slept through the day again. >.< She really was being a pain... My mother is getting very good care but that woman is just too much...

She is fighting medication, she's fighting her physiotheraphy, she wants to get out of the hospital but does nothing to help in her recovery.

it takes every kind... She kept my mother and her roommate up for the better part of the night. >.< I just hope my mother is able to sleep tonight.

I called my mother about 30 minutes before I left this morning and she was very groggy and she told me I am very tired. She didn't get much sleep and they took her off the IV this morning because she was having an allergic reaction. They gave her Benadryl and she's like me... Benadryl and I am out like a light, that thing just makes me so damn sleepy. I told her that if she has trouble sleeping again, she should just ask for some Benadryl and she'll sleep like a log.

When I arrived she was seated and looked more alert. She had the time to sleep some of the Benadryl off. I took her for a little walk in the corridor (after putting a bathrobe on her). when we came back it was time for her diner. It was pork and it was quite dry so she didn't eat much of it. I had brought a muffin and she did eat it all.

Then the nurse came and changed her bandages, she was metal stitching, they will take them out next Friday. The wound seemed very nice, it's bleeding a little but just a few drops. My mother then told me the doctor had come in the morning and told her they might keep her till Tuesday, so we'll see.

Then my brother came over with little Alex, he was so shy, I guess he was a little troubled in seeing his Nana like this ;/ We all went for a little walk again. They went back home, Michael and my brother's wife had a cold so didn;t want to make my mother's sick.

Then the Physiotherapist came and she showed me and my mother the exercise she will have to do every day which is moving her forearm. Tomorrow, she will should me how to move her arm so to help her keep mobility without straining the arm just yet. I will have to make her do those exercises for 2 weeks. Then she's have enough healing and strenght to do it all by herself. Since she had a hip operation, my mother knows the importance of doing the exercises to heal and recover faster.

My aunt then came and we helped her eat her diner, then we both left and I went home but not before stopping at the store to get some turkey meat to make a sandwich tomorrow. I'll steam some brocoli tomorrow morning and have that for lunch.

I also made some cookies and applesauce tonight. It was indeed a very full day. I am beat. TOmorrow I have to be there even more early but hey... a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

my alarm clock is already set up.

Hey... I know it's Sunday morning but I had to call so many people yesterday evening when I came back and I got so many phonecalls I was too burned up to write how she was ^^;;

1) She's doing much better, she ate a little (the food wasn't all that good but hey... she did eat some of it.) And I am sorry date squares that barely taste like date are just ((shudder))

2) They finally put her inverted brace on the right way. She was in a lot of pain. I am pretty sure she will be in less pain now. She can medicated herself for the pain if she need to.

3) I feel a bit sorry for the poor woman that is in the same room as my mother. She's been in the hospital for 2 months and should tranfer to another long care facility Tuesday. The poor woman doesn't seem to have much visits, she does get the occasionnal phone calls but still. For all the time I spent at the hospital with my mom, she didn't get one visit. I find this very sad.

4) Watery expensive coffee... there's a Tatum coffee machine that asks for 2$ to give you a decent coffee I haven't tried it yet but the cafeteria coffee is pretty weak >.<

5) made myself a bento box for lunch yesterday, will do another one today... I am not sure what I will do tomorrow or what time I should be at the hospital.

Will try and do a small report tonight when I am back.

From what she told me, it was a success. My mother was sick though because of the anesthesia. =/ The doctor told her the operation went very well. She was pretty much out of it and I was a little concerned when I saw the oxygen tubes. But I could see she was breathing from her mouth easily and snorring a little so I guess it's okay and just a precaution.

I'll see her tomorrow I'll arrive around noon and help her eat (if she'll eat anything) and stay with her the better part of the afternoon. Then I'll come eat dinner home and keep the rest of the family posted. So I am going to have Skype open tomorrow.

She'll feel much better tomorrow (I hope)

I got a few friends who have birthdays or will have birthdays...
Sorry if I am a bit late ^^;;

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to doll_paparazzi !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to animefigurekit!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to digital_grrl79 !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to aminamithri !
Have a Happy birthday you all :D

Is scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning and we have to be at the hospital at 7:30 tops. So we are going to get up real early ^^;;

oh damn... they are announcing 10 to 15 cm of snow in Quebec... and i don;t have my winter tire on and I have to drive to quebec today for my mother's operation!

Holy CRAP!

Is it snowing right now? Is it raining? i better call my mother and make sure.

CRAP!

Well I really want those lovely little hooves legs from peapod...
i need to make money to get them though... I could buy them now and reimburse myself later...

So here's what I could sell:

a DZ Mini body, I've completly restrung him and glue sweeded him. He stands like a rock and holds poses like a charm. I love the body but since I have not head for it. and I don't know when I'll get a head for it... so yeah maybe I should just sell it.

Artwork comminssions... yeah I could do that I could do Chibies of characters this week but I can't set up an Artwork commission if I have to take care of my mom for two weeks.

sell out all of my pullips... Maybe do a get everything I have for $$$ plus shipping. They are just in a box right now gathering dust anyways.

Got a DNAangel DVD boxed set, the entire series, I bought this 89$ but I would let it go for around 50$ plus shipping.

I still have the DZ Shoyo catgirl that is in the shipping box. I still haven't gotten her out ::sighs:: maybe I should just use her to make clothing... or try and sell her. She's a full set.

My amakousa... just don;t know what to do with him... but I still love the sculpt, he's just lacking background. maybe I need to make him a new faceup... but I am a bit chicken to mess up a limited faceup...

Sewing clothing... I have 2 weeks in front of me where I have to take care of my mother. I do have a lot of fabric and I could get my butt in gear and make clothing in my spare time... Like Yo-sized clothing, big boy clothing... msd clothing...

Yeah I just need to think about what to do. I can always sell the horns I don't really need. Getting a split partner could be a good help but meh... I don;t know why but I'd rather have them then sell them off.

I just checked the shipping cost and the hooves with shipping are 113.90$
so 14$ of shipping... for EMS, not bad.

I'm just ITCHING to just order them and then deal with selling something later but... well I don't think it's reasonable.so ... sighs... waiting then... until I can come up with a plan.
