What's new, What's new? 



So what's new with me? Well not a whole hell of a lot! Just spending every waking hour looking for work. Just finished my, cover letter, application, resume, reference letters, design samples, transcripts and questionnaire and then delivered it all personally to the college I was applying to for the job as senior graphic designer. Wish me luck. Campus is in Monmouth, Oregon about half an hour S.E. of Salem. It was a pretty nice looking campus. Brought back fond memories of my time in college. Would be interesting and fun I think to work there. Time will tell, and in the meantime I have other jobs to respond to. Took Rene my neighbor lady friend to get her out of the house and we had a nice ride in the country to the college. Afterwards she bought me some lunch in Monmouth. All I could eat was some soup though due to TN pain. Still have not heard from many other job postings I responded to. I got so fed up I went to the ones close by to speak to head honcho's in person, but they all tell me to go back and apply on-line.

My TN is really flaring up lately which will make it very hard to talk in a interview when and if I get more. What a rotten time for this problem to flare up again. ARRRGGHHH!! I went to my neurologist to have him take a look at it again, and maybe subscribe some other med to kill the pain in hopes I could talk when the time comes for interviewing. He wanted some blood work first and ordered an MRI to look at what's left of my brain. :) Took the MRI last weekend and hope all is well. Will find out this next Friday. They will check it all, hospital told me. My TN damage if any and how much, nerve damage and if I had a stoke when in the hospital with heart attack and open heart surgery. If any problems hope they can fix easily enough. I know I must have suffered nerve damage or stroke possible as my right side from hand to foot is still not right. Still feels like a vise squeezing or an elephant standing on it. Especially the hand, it's really slowing me down - probably took half hour just to type this little amount of text. Now you know Why I don't write much. Problems, problems, problems. :D Well enough whining. Need to try to eat something before I pass out and then get ready to visit brother Joe. I could have his problems.

Well, I'm back from lunch, one piece of toast, took 15 mins to eat - ONE lousy piece of toast and I'm still hungry, dam it hurt like hell. Guess on the bright side I'm losing some weight. Hey, here's an idea -- instead of people getting expensive surgery to staple their stomach, just pinch their Trigeminal Nerve. Yes, then see if they can eat, the weight would fall off. Or, maybe implant razor-blades into their gums! :D Maybe I should patent the ideas for weight loss?

Well, take care all, have a good day and be happy - - if you can't have a good day, well, just be happy you're having one at all. That's what's new with me, how about you? :Dave
