You know I've thought about this post for the better part of an hour now and I have a few reflections By making these posts I am doing nothing more than playing into the hands of people that are miserable in their own lives and can't stand the happiness of others. In doing that I have let them win a minor victory over my mental self and that is not right for me. I said I would be the bigger person and that will be my intention from here out. I tried to forgive my sister and move forward. In doing so I learned that she had not changed and was still the same manipulative liar that I had her pegged as before. Sure it hurts that she lied to us all, but she is not important enough to be worthy of my time and I will no longer dwell on her. My mother is long out of my life and that is where she will stay and should have stayed. I merely lost sight for a while of my mental health goals. My grandmother will soon be out as well and then I can enjoy some peace to deal with the REAL issues in my life. I have too much to deal with without extra crazies in my life. So my dear readers and friends, I go back to silencing my annoyance toward the people I am unfortunately related to by blood. They are not worthy of me or you and for the posts you have all endured while I was weak, my apologies to you my friends. I promise that my next public posts will be filled with sillyness and my flocked posted full of detail. May the new year be good to each of you. Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

I would like to thank everybody for your help in getting Guin his new seat. He snuggled into it well this evening.
There is money leftover now and I am refunding those that donated after the seat was acquired. Still sending out cards though. I thank you all so very much. |

Alright so everybody knows what all has been going on with Guin and all of that. Right now I'm trying to get money together to afford a new carseat for him since his current one is only good to 22 pounds. As of today he weighs in at 21lb 6oz. My dad has given me $100 toward the one I am going to get but I still need the remaining amount. The seat he is getting is a convertible carseat that reclines for now and can be switched to a booster later on when he can hold his head up. It is also rated to 65 pounds, so it will last a good while.
I know not everybody can donate, but if you can spare a dollar, please send it along. I don't ask for things like this often or lightly as I'm sure you know and understand if you have been on my list for more than a minute :P |

• Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their LiveJournal.
• Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!
Reason I have this one? Hubble images are amazing! Unfortunately the Cassini image that I had disappeared when I upgraded to Leopard some time ago so now I have this for Snow Leopard. Hooray for geeky space wallpaper! |

I'm greatly amused at the amount of people that have added me to their friends lists that I don't know. Even funnier that all of them seem to be in the lovely state of Florida and have all added me since my mother made her psycho posts in my journal. You all remember that right? Those psychotic posts that we all had a GREAT laugh about XD |

Well as of Wednesday, Guinness had his first visit to the pediatrician. As she put it "he's perfect". He has gained weight and everything is in order.
As of yesterday I saw my doctor and I am healing well. I am still not allowed to drive for another two weeks, so that throws a wrench into things, but we have a way of making things work out. I also got a weigh in at the doctor's office. I am officially 193 pounds. Its been a few years since I was below the 200 mark so I am rather happy about it. As much as I don't mind being large, its amazing to know that I might fit into normal sized clothing someday. My old pants that I wore before pregnancy are fitting me again, but they are loosening up by the day. Its going to be a bit odd to have to wear a belt again. Also, the iron tablets SO need to go... I'm sick of feeling terrible in the tummy even if it will supposedly help with the anemia.
Naoki's end of the year celebration was yesterday and I got to see some singing, acting, and dancing on stage at her school. She was the narrator for their little skit about the Three Little Pigs. Her teacher made her the narrator due to her reading level. Several weeks ago she was tested on her reading and is reading on a second grade level... in kindergarten. She received an award for "most improved reader" in her class as well as for completing some programs in reading and math. I can't say that I'm not proud of her. I am a bit concerned for next year though due to having gone through the same "boredom" when having to sit through things that I already knew in class. They are talking of a special program for her though so that she isn't bored. I just hope that she doesn't let it go to her head.
Harold has been enjoying his vacation at home for this week. Unfortunately on Monday he goes back to work and I am going to miss him dearly here at home. He has been such a help with Guinness while I've been getting my mobility back, and I gotta admit I'm a bit scared of being without him during the daytime next week. Its going to be a bit of a challenge for me without him or Naoki here during the day but I think I can do it. He has been letting me sleep at night and getting up with the baby when he needs to be fed or changed and I am hoping to be able to return the favor now that I can actually get out of bed by myself. I know full well that he isn't looking forward to going back to work. Anytime I mention work to him he grumbles. I think he enjoys being home with us right now.
Other than that, things are good. The cats are slowly getting used to the routines around here, though poor Charlonne feels rejected a bit. She tends to hide a lot lately and seems sad when we do see her, but I think she will adjust over time. Templar doesn't seem to care and just lays around like he always has. Now to save some money to get both kitties into the groomer soon for some pampering.
Take care folks, I'm off to relax and get in some reading before the baby wakes up from his nap. |

There are few things in life that are as cute as waking up in the middle of the night and hearing your husband singing to the baby while rocking him on his shoulder after a feeding. I was told to rest but I can't help but sneak a peak from time to time ;) |

You know, I was looking for a new host and now I'm completely unsure if I should do so o_0
After the canceling issue and all of that, I ended up trading emails with the billing department for a full day on the issue to show them that I had tried three times to cancel those packages. I went through the entire process but wasn't getting the emails that were to confirm said process. Hence, the packages weren't canceling. I made sure they knew I was watching my spam filters as well, but NOTHING had come through.
The billing department guy told me to give it a full 24 hours and if it didn't come through to email him. I waited till the following morning which was 24 hours and no email. In my frustration I emailed him and let it all go. Told him that having been with this company for some time now that I have been getting thoroughly more disappointed. That between the lack of help with the hacking last year and now this where I can't cancel a package, I was fed up and would be looking for a new host that has better service than this.
Came home in the afternoon and found an email in my inbox from the Complaints department. Apparently that last email was forwarded over to them since billing couldn't do anything. Complaints worked with me and canceled the accounts manually on their side and let me know that I would receive a refund that was prorated and such. They also let me know the dates that each package would cancel and that was that.
The packages are now canceled with no issues whatsoever. Even further, I got a refund to my account today from them. They came through and I only lost 11 cents in the deal. I am thoroughly shocked. I honestly never expected to receive the refund and figured that if they did do anything it would be "a credit" on my account. So I have back the money that they charged me now and I am just confused as to if I should keep looking for a new host or if I should give them another chance since they did make this right in the end. |

Last May when my server was hacked I ended up taking down several sites that had been sitting dormant for some time. One of those sites was my old costume commissions site. When the hacking happened it ended up being turned into a paygate of sorts for the Nigerian scam that was trying to be hosted on my server.
A couple of months passed after the hacking and I went in and canceled several domains and other extras that were on my account. I thought I had taken care of everything until this weekend when I got a renewal invoice from my host saying that they were going to charge me for both my domain and email hosting of Desu-Ka.com The only problem is that I canceled said domain MONTHS ago.
I called up my host and was told to call back on Monday which I just finished doing. Lady assures me that the packages were never canceled when I know I canceled them. She tells me that there is no way to stop them charging my account, but that they can "prorate" me a credit.... cause that does me so much good...
I now realize what I did wrong and I could thoroughly choke myself for it. When I canceled the domain I didn't cancel the separate email package that was tied to said domain. Hence, domain cancelation wasn't complete and it has been active all this time. They did nothing wrong on their end, but it was truly user error and now I could honestly just beat my head on a desk for a few hours.
So that is $20 that will now be autodeducted from my account. The only problem is that the money IN my account isn't my money right now but money that I am holding for a group order for a friend. She has been wonderful when shit came up but now I get the joys of explaining to her that I now have to replace $20 of it due to my screw up and that that silk order I was going to place will have to be pushed back until I get some orders through BR... FUCK FUCK FUCK!
I'm sorry Cat. This was truly my error. I know you won't be mad about it, but you know that I take this shit very seriously. I know that an order or two will clear it all up but dammit I'm mad at myself for not catching my mistake before it screwed me over. Its a $20 lesson thats for sure. Now if only college were that cheap I would be filthy rich AND intelligent...
EDIT: For those that are curious, yes I have officially canceled both items now. And even if I didn't, they would just sit there for another year since neither has been touched since the hacking had me clear off the entire server. |
