Smells like Rain

Just some random stuff, since I've been away for a while...



Once again I'm debating over just making PurrMeow.net my personal AND collective site since I hardly blog at either one now, lol or keeping everything how it is. The only thing stopping me is another domain I have. I wanted the name before anyone else registered it, now I'm not sure if I want to use it for here or not. I should probably start by blogging more before I make a decision to change domains, lol.



Ugh, I have allergies. Certain things have always caused a few sneezes here and there, but for the last few days I've been struggling with headaches and my nose. I think it's something in/around my apartment. When the air's off (not often, it's been almost 100 degrees out lately!) I'm fine, once it's on my nose stuffs up and sometimes my brain head too. I'm going to try to get the manager to change the filter and hope for the best. This sucks. I've been typing this entry with my mouth open to breathe.

Aaliyah turned 3 in April. I went to the store with plans to buy either an Elmo cake or a Spongebob cake, they had both. I let her pick and she had a serious face the whole time, until she finally made her choice. Such big decisions.

I took Aaliyah swimming today. She's done so plenty of times, just not too often in one that isn't considered a kiddie pool. It took Noel forever to get in the water, a little while for me, and Aaliyah pretty much made us look bad and went for it. Once I got used to my lower body temperature it was pretty damn relaxing.



Oh yeah, my car sucks again. Nothing new. A few months ago I was thinking about how awesome it was that my tax money wasn't going towards my car, then a few days later the air compressor died RIGHT before I planned a trip out of town. Driving in a 4-wheel piece of metal for at least half an hour through the hot desert summer sun without cold air? No. Hell. No. I ended up dropping off my car to be looked at and my mom was awesome and took Aaliyah and I out of town in her air conditioned car. Ugh, I was hoping it just needed a simple change of fluid. I'll probably get the part from a junkyard, it's going to be expensive for the labor though. I swear, I would just get another car if I had the down payments and a job (nothing new there either, that search isn't going anywhere).



Things have been really up and down. Seriously. I don't want to get into it. It seems like as soon as I overcome one thing, something else comes up. I know life isn't easy, but damn it. Can I have one day of just bliss?
