About Paulinerose

I am a single mom to a beautiful little 9 year old girl. I am a full-time student going for my degree in Criminology. This is just the randomness of me! This is also a place where I put my photography! I write poems too!

Some things have happened….

A lot actually….

I have not been online due to the fact that I had a school semester to finish up and a surgery to recover from.

I had Gall Bladder Surgery recently. I was in a lot of pain on Sunday. I posted a little bit about that recently. To make a long story short : Went to ER, daughter called, I was in pain. I was iin pain almost a month or so now. I was hurting bad in the right side. I had a Ultra Sound done for several things. They first did a pelvic exam to make sure that I didn’t have another tumor growing inside of me. That came out negative. Then, I had a ultra sound for other things including Gall Bladder. That was the week prior to the ER visit from hell. I go to ER where they do a Pelvic Exam on me and they were not even good about it. First of all, I was spread eagle to the door that opens and closes and the only one who actually cared was the nurse there who threw a sheet over me. I was told to do the tube down my nose to check for internal bleeding. The first nurse who did it put that stuff in my nose that made everything numb. I have asthma. It is scary when you can’t breathe. Of all the people in the world, I should know when I can’t breathe. I told them I was experiencing breathing issues. They basically told me that if I can talk , I am breathing. Then, I was held in a position to put the tube down my nose. I didn’t like it. It hurt. I felt like something ripped. I can taste blood. I told them to pull it out. They told me they couldn’t because they had to get this test done. I told them something was wrong and I couldn’t breathe. Again, I was told that I could breathe because I was talking. It was all really messed up. :(

Then, I pulled the tube out of my nose from my throat giving myself a bloody nose but I could breathe again. They brought in this other doctor who told me that it was his fortay (however you spell that) to do this. Then pushes down on my neck and shoves it down my other nostril. I told them I didn’t want to do it. They said you came in for help right? Then, basically giving me some kind of guilt trip. I was manhandled, they were rough, they were not nice at all. I was a piece of meat.

Then, I asked several times for something for pain because that is why I was in there in the first place because of the pain in my right side. I had also told them about my ultra sound from Nortons. When the other nurse came in I asked if they found out anything about the ultra sound. She told me she would check. I asked for pain medicine.

A few moments later , I was told there was no internal bleeding, I had nothing wrong in my pelvic examination, my ultra sound results showed NOTHING , and then they gave me TWO MOTRINS and released me to go home.

I left with my mother who came to help with my daughter. On the way out the pain was even worse. My neck was now hurting twice as much. I couldn’t barely breathe. My nose was dried with blood. My throat was sore. I was in twice as bad shape coming out then going in there.

I went to my doctor which was down a few blocks. She went ahead and saw me. I told her what was going on. She told me that the ultra sound results showed several gall stones, that I had an enlarged liver and other things. She called up for a surgeon that I met on Monday. ON Monday, I meet with the guy and he tells me he is taking it out. I get an appointment for surgery on that Tuesday.
Thank you Jewish Hospital for your stupidity. Something bad could have happened if I just went home and didn’t even go to my doctor.  :(

Thank you to my lovely daughter who did do something and called 9-1-1 to get mommy help and called Grandma’s work to have an adult come get her there. She is a great kid.

Here are some things from my Facebook too like pictures and stuff I updated recently that I haven’t wrote in a blog  about yet.

ON second thought I have 10 seconds or my computer will shut down and my charger is in another room. I will get to those later ;)

I hope you all have a great Memorial Day !

 

 

 

 

A few notes of today…..

1.) If the person at the counter takes your order they are not the person who made the food.  Do not throw a hamburger in their face and tell them they have to fix their mutilated burger they ate half of before deciding it wasn’t right to begin with.  Also, Don’t cut in line to get a freaking refill on a ice tea while there are customers ahead of you. Get in line like everyone else. It is not hard to be a little bit polite.

2.) My locker obviously hates me. The other day it decided to rip open my pinky finger. Today, it decided to eat the contents and not puke it back out for me. This morning I came in and my boss wanted a copy of my photo ID. I completely forgot about making one. He asked me to get my ID. I went to the locker and retrieved my ID. When I did that I put my inhaler that fell out of my pocket into my locker. Yippee… because a lady who decided to bathe in her perfume came in causing me a massive sneezing attack and a asthmatic reaction afterwards that on break I couldn’t get my locker open to retrieve it. Luckily, I got to learn Drive Thru today and the fresh air of the window opened me up some. ‘

 

3.) I decided that if all I ever do is drive thru it wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

4.) The aluminum foil man came up to my counter. Someone threw away all his food. His coffee was hot!  One of my managers nicely promo’ed him some of his food back. The guy is a very nice man and he was a lot better than the lady who came in yelling at me that I mutilated her already half eaten hamburger.

5.) Some people don’t deserve children and need psychiatric evaluations.

 

OH now for 5 totally random photos of zombies I stole off of Google.com

I haven’t posted for awhile.

A lot of things have gone on. For one, I lost my wifi and I have to connect through my phone. I started a job for another. It is a job. I don’t mind it. My cat Uhura had kittens and unfortunately only one survived the whole thing. We named his Gizmo. He is doing great.

So, To update you I will post things from my facebook really quick since I am accessing my mobile hotspot through my phone and taking a break from my homework.

Let the Randomness begin!

I had a nice relaxing day doing homework, watching Flash and then I up and decided I needed to get out of the house. I threw on some jeans, tied my shoe laces, had Josie get dressed and we grabbed a bus.

Josie said , ” Where am I going? “

I replied, ” Jurassic Park.”

Josie : Um, Drasic park is not real.
Me: Jurassic Park. Not Drasic. Yes. We are going to have fun.
Josie: Okay. I am worried.

We went to the Louisville Zoo. It was fun to be there and get out and walk around, have some exercise and fresh air. I have a membership. I might as well use the darn thing.

We had to pay $4 each to see the dinosaurs. They took photos of us on a green screen. They came out funny. Then, we took our very short tour around the dino park. They were big, they were loud, they moved and squeaked. They were not that scary. LOL. I know there are littler kids that come to the zoo but I just expected something different.

I don’t know what… but different.

So, A little disappointed but it was fun to say the least. There was a dino that spit water. That was funny.

Back to homework now….

I I was , personally, excited to finally get to see Lemurs at the zoo. This was taken with my camera phone. Sorry for the pixels and stuff.

Josie was so excited to get out and get some fresh air!Baby Dinosaurs!

fJosie liked this one. She also loved the one that had the duck bill.  This was the most “exciting” of all of them besides the one that spit water.

I wasn’t much impressed. It was cool though. It has little story boards next to all of them. If you take time to actually read them you may learn a few new things. We did!

 

TThis is how our green screen came out. We are both terrible actors. LOL. I have a double chin here too, I hate that. I am also squinting as if I smelled a terrible fart and was disgusted by that more than I was of a giant dinosaur ready to attack me.

My father passed away on February 5th. On February 10th (my birthday) I was signing papers for my father’s cremation and walking in the snow trying to defrost my eyebrows in the nearest VP on the way there too. It wasn’t exciting. Josie had a good birthday party per say. I made an incredible cake. We both really didn’t get to do much though for our birthdays because of his passing. In the last few months all I have been doing is conducting business for my father , trying to get him released, get his medical records, take care of bills (by calling them up and saying he is deceased quit sending them), etc. I have been overcome by grief and shock and a mix of emotions that has splattered me. I wanted to do something special so I took extra money that I had ( I didn’t want to spend ) and we bought tickets for Blue Men group. I figured after all we both have been through (and Josie has been awesome!) that we deserved it. We got to see them yesterday. They were equally awesome and funny. I enjoyed how Josie went along with a lot of things like shaking booty and hands in the air, etcetra. It was awesome. She would be so much fun at a rock concert.

 

This was the display outside for Blue Men  Group! It was awesome!

Little Drummer Girl got Drum Sticks!

 

 

This is how high up we were…..

 

 

Um. this was Josie’s response to the how high up we were…..

 

This would be Uhura and Gizmo.

 

Yup, that is how I feel.

 

Didn’t your Mom ever teach you to NOT play with your food? … OH yah….

Watching The Flash with Josie . It is the episode with Nightshade and Ghost. At some point he mentions Ground control. This is where Joz chimes in and starts singing Ground Control to Major Flash, we all need you hurry and be real fast….10 hours ago.

THE PLUMBER IS A PIECE OF WORK!!!!!

OH….BUT WE ARE GOING TO BLUE MEN!!!!!!!! (yesterday)

 

Okay, I was talking about our plumber who came over. We had some issues recently. Such  as our light fixture was leaking water. OK!…. I called up to tell them it was leaking water in our storage room. We have storage tubs piled in there that belongs to all of us. They are NOT messy and nothing is all over the place. The reason I mention this is because the piece of work that came in to look at things told me that he may have to cut a hole in the ceiling and then I ask if I have to move things around. He says no that I wouldn’t have to because it can’t get any messier in there than it already is. Before that, my new landlord who bought the place came over to assure me he was sending over a licensed plumber (three times told this to me) and then drops to one knee at my door before walking out to praise the father. (Honest to Whoever is listening).

My father had health issues I was unaware of. He told me what I wanted to hear. He didn’t want to worry me. He always just told me not to worry about your ol dad and things were ok. Then he died. I am left with unanswered questions, things left unspoken, and heart ache.

Conflictions of your soul is never a good idea.

I do not not believe in one ultimate being handing out destinies and all that jazz. I am open minded to others beliefs. I do believe we all have a purpose. I believe we all need to be greatful we are here in the time we are here and not treat others like a bunch of fucked up assholes because we are just contributing to the problem and not really helping.

I want to help. I want to be a contribution. I don’t need my name in papers and I really don’t want it etched in stone.

Start living people. Start contributing to society. Start caring.

I am tired of wasting my heart and breath on those who treat others poorly. I am tired of watching it happen. I plan on being around an awfully long time so watch out society bitch with a vengeance is loose.

I will not tolerate being hurt anymore.

If you want to drop me , go for it.

On other news, I won’t hide shit. Why let people question and wonder.

I have a freaking tumor. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday.

Yup.

Nuff said.(Yesterday I wrote that.)

It is always lovely to wake up, roll over and find a tiny butt facing you. Uhura and baby, happily nursing and purring, were laying by my head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Internet Service Provider miscommunication????

I just called an internet service provider

Me: Hi, I am looking for internet service in my area. My only problem is most of them need a telephone jack for this. I do not have one in my apartment at all.

Guy on phone : Yes, Mam, what is the address?

Me: Gives address. Guy on phone : So, give me a few moments and I will have some information for you. (on hold 5 minutes)

Guy on phone: Okay, Mam, I see here you are looking for internet service and what I can give you is Insight. They are available for you in that area.

Me: I don’t want Insight , I have had them before. So, what you are telling me is you don’t service this area?

Guy on phone: With Insight they have great television service, telephone lines and internet at low rates and you don’t need a phone jack.

Me: I am sorry, are we getting our lines crossed? I am looking for internet service that is not Insight. I just said I do not want Insight. So, you don’t have service in my area? Is that what you are telling me ? Correct?

Guy on phone: let me go ahead and connect you to Insight and they will be able to assist you further…. …. Am I not speaking English?!

Here lies that of an aggravated girl

Sometimes I sleep through a thick haze of contemplation

and sometimes it keeps me nodding awake every second

I wish that I could simply put my thoughts in a box

lock it up inside and let it rest for the morning to come

but instead I sit awake and I ponder

I ponder every breath I take

the sun and the moon

life

and

death

I ponder the whys and why nots

the overactive mind of an aggravated girl

I am without pain

because I am without time

There is nothing that lies within

a single glance I could give

that would indicate otherwise

I am solemn in my mountains

the tears are my rain

I need some peace

I need to catch my train

As I rise further to the top and wave my goodbyes

my body becomes one with the soil

and Earth renews again

Here lies that of an aggravated girl.

Little things….From my facebook

Thinks it is funny that a captcha i got for sending in paperwork was ” NJJOE”. Nice, Dad… thanks. (Seconds ago)

I am opening cans and the cats are getting excited.It isn’t even for them.
Joz:You should be happy theres kitties in China being eaten. (4 Hours ago)
I found that online. I really wish I knew who made it. Whoever you are , this is awesome and I would like a print lol :)
Random Dude at bus stop (after I pulled up my pant leg and scratch something that was irritating me) : Are those Superman socks?!
ME:  Yah, you should see the cape.
You should have seen that guy walk away from me….. ( today 8 hours ago)
Okay, If you need a good laugh you have to read this. I am cracking up so hard it is not even funny. Also , check out the bee infested truck…seriously…wth…..
I just has a full conversation with the android version of siri. interesting. now to find a juni b jones book that has been misplaced in the dungeon of books in Joz’ room. (Yesterday)
Small little opinion of Skyvi. Skyvi is the Android version of Siri. It is jammed packed with all sorts of little tidbits you would never think of , it has an attitude about things sometimes, it asks you way to many times if you like 3D movies even though you are asking for them to find you a bus stop. I find it also funny that when i said, ” Find coffee, ” It picked out some adult shops for me. I didn’t know adult shops sold coffee.
This was just funny and I guess you have to know what it is talking about to understand it. Google it. That is what google is good for. Or ask skyvi , ” what is a weeping angel?,” and tell me what she says.
This is too funny. I want a poster of this. LOL. My daughter found this, I don’t know where she did but she did.
Well, I am off to torture my daughter who has a mess of tangle on side of her head. I swear I am just going to shave her bald and start all over, that may solve my problems. She likes wigs so it would work.  (To those who don’t know me, I am just joking. She just has some really thick hair that no matter what you do like thin it out it just gets worse!).
After I am done torturing kid I am going to finish up some homework for juvenile justice class. I am slowly getting back on track with things.

I am working on a book…. tell me what you think…..

I woke up with a sense of dread. It was that feeling that something bad had happened or would happen sometime in the near future. It was something that I could neither stop nor prevent. It was just dread.  I wondered sometimes why I even woke up. I often knew what was going to happen but sometimes I just had the feelings with nothing in between. It was a sense of nothingness that brought me to my knees most mornings.

I went to the kitchen and got the pot off my coffee maker filling it with water.  I then put the water into the coffee maker and inserted the filter and turned it on. I didn’t have a fancy coffee maker because every time I tried one it would bust or break and there just wasn’t any sense to doing it. Suddenly, I stood there in my kitchen with hairs on the back of my neck shooting outright. I didn’t understand what it was. I slowly turned to find my mom standing behind me.

She often visited me. She would just pop in unannounced staring and smiling. Sometimes she would grab a seat in the kitchen and start talking. The only problem is with my mom the mute button was on. I could never hear her. I could only see her. It was weird.  It was like the little boy who often came in my bedroom bouncing a ball against my wall at odd hours of the night. I had no idea who he was or what he wanted.  I couldn’t hear him either.

Things like this happened to me all the time.  There was the monster under my bed when I was ten. He mumbled. I couldn’t see him and he scared the beehives out of me. I oftentimes just didn’t care to even go to bed. I would call my mother in the room and she would cuddle under the covers with me and rub my head until I fell asleep and the monster disappeared.

GRADUATED EXAM

Posted by Gaylord Campbell

I applied to graduate school this year. Yesterday, I was really disheartened when I found out that I didn’t get it in. The professor that I wanted to work with said that my Graduate Record Exam (GRE) was too low. She told me that I didn’t need to retake it, but then that was my excluding criteria. You can imagine my dismay and upset. As soon as I got the e-mail, I logged onto the GRE website using my clear 4g trying to get a date to register for the test. It must just not have been my day, I logged onto the website successfully, but for some reason, the scheduling would not work. The next day, I did the same thing and the scheduling button did not work. I just really don’t know what is going on. Maybe it is a sign that I need to pursue something other than this doctoral program that I am interested in. I am going to try again today. If it doesn’t work, then I am really going to think that the computer is trying to tell me something!

Finding Jesus in a Coffee Stain, Adventures of Tardis Cake and more…..

I guess this has been the month of hell for me. It has been a long process of remember to turn in this assignment and say ” screw it ” to something that is only 10 points because you have to much on your plate as it is. I know that sounds sad but it is true.

My daughter got a hamster recently. It was from a friend of mine whose daughter was not taking care of it. I took an adventure to pick her up. I had photos on my phone depicting a cute Teddy Bear hamster that looked full size. I pick her up and she is a dwarf. She is a teddy bear dwarf. She is no bigger than my pinkie. This hamster is sweet though. She has a character to her.

We recently discovered she hates seeds. Most hamster thrill at the thought of getting seeds. She picks them up and throws them out of her cage so that our floor is a virtual mess of seeds. She , however, did discover she likes sunflower seeds yet tosses those shells out as well. She is a wirey thing , I will say that.

My daughter and I went into the living room one morning with biscuits on our plates hot out of the oven. I had some homework to do so I decided we were going to watch Saturday morning cartoons and eat biscuits in the living room.

She was on the table by our couch and she popped up her little head and started wagging her entire body and making squeaking noises. Soon, her entire body was a whirlwind of emotions. I never seen ever a little hamster get that excited. We plucked off a piece and gave her some and she was so thrilled. I swear she was probably singing Halleluiah.

Recently, my father passed away. My friend Jana took me and my daughter to Indiana that Wednesday of his passing.  I had to think about all I had to accomplish while I was there. The first thing we did is go to my father’s apartment (my old one) and collect some items that was left there. I went through and grabbed all the paper work I could find. ( My brother was there previously and had things in bags for me already, so did my father’s roomie). I just had to find medical, social security, id, and other items that I needed while I was there. I grabbed what I felt necessary. The rest went into a car with Jana who took it back to Kentucky with her.

I didn’t keep any of his clothes except a couple of his favorite jackets including a leather one he had forever.  His dog Zena was mourning and I couldn’t do nothing to help her.  She is now with Dad. It is just all very sad.  I have the jacket he wore on walks with her. They are in some of my photos I have here online. While drying the jacket at home my dryer was going CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK.. out popped a bone. It must have been in a pocket. She used to hide things in the jacket.

I also found out that my father loved to keep everything that was ever printed out and handed to him. I found a receipt for gas in 1973. I kid you not. It was a handwritten receipt in yellow paper. It even has the make and model of the car on it. I know in New Jersey you don’t pump your own gas. I am not sure if this has been going on for awhile. This note that I found, this little yellow decrepit paper I found ; smelled of gasoline. EWwwwwww.

I found all of his tax documents. I am keeping them for now. I will have to find a place to shred them sooner or later but I doubt that I will find the need for his tax documents from 1978 to be much useful to me.

I found receipts for every single thing he ever bought from the store . I found out he loved his Ramen Noodles when he lived with me but he really loved them afterwards as well.

He had a odd collection of Remote Controls I kid you not. Only two out of the dozen we found belonged to anything remotely useful.

He had all sorts of odds and end pieces of things, plastic bottle caps, metal thing a ma bobs that I am told is some sort of conductor for a car, tons of wires for everything imaginable ( I found receipts for these too from the thrift store), I found three USB drives that contained nothing because they were not workable, two containers of film that had one photo on it and cost my brother a whopping 25 cents to pick up this photo,  jesus statues, saint statues by the mini sizes (most of them broken in half or heads decapitated. I am attempting to glue a couple together the rest I can’t do nothing with them.) , rosaries of every shape , size , color, texture that you can imagine ( a few I donated in Dad’s name recently.),  I found a pack of old condoms and I actually googled them (because their name was Salamar studs or something) they were from 1985, razors by the dozens, toe nail clippers by the pound, loads of old glasses (funny story Dad had bought a pair of reading glasses while there living with me because he couldn’t find his scripts- I found them amongst the craziness that was decapitated saint heads.), and a bunch of other stuff.

I disposed of a lot of this (including the old condoms which I opened and cut up because someone may go through the trash and think they hit pay dirt and actually bring a child to this world instead.)

So, I decided my father with all his little gadgets was actually a mad scientist of sorts making a secret time machine in his bedroom.

Dad, you know you are laughing right now and if I feel a slap behind my head I will just smile.

My father is two suitcases. That is what I have left of him. Two suit cases of paperwork and his notes to the very end. I kept his scripts and some clippers they came to good use. I kept some of the Saints I was able to glue and some of the rosaries but the rest pretty much was tossed.  I definitely didn’t need an old pack of condoms.  His stuff in storage in New Jersey was tossed away in October or something like that. So, I am left with the minimal pictures, a few jackets and a ton of paperwork and hopefully soon, his ashes.

It is always an adventure in my life.

I spilled coffee on the sleeve of my jacket when I went to Java Roaster and picked up some coffee for my brother , his girl friend and some other friends.

I spilled coffee again, later on, over at the V.P when I got a Mocha from the auto coffee machine. That was on the way to the funeral home.

When I finally got home I washed that jacket. It was so nice looking. It wasn’t even stained.

I walked somewhere with my daughter and had a coffee in my hand and dontcha know … I spilled coffee all over the sleeve.

I wondered if it was some sign. Maybe like people who find Jesus in toast I was meant to find Jesus in the coffee stain. Maybe I would find my father’s face looking up at me sticking his tongue out. I may even find the ” evil ” numbers.  All I saw was a coffee stain, nothing more. Josie swears she saw a tree.

Again, I washed the dumb coat and this time I spilled coffee all over it while I was doing laundry ironically enough. It is a sign. I am not supposed to have a clean jacket. I am meant to have a coffee stain on my jacket. Either that or someone is telling me to cut back on my caffeine.

I made a Tardis recently. It was actually a lot of fun. I made a wibbly wobbly timey wimey machine. If any of you don’t know what exactly I am talking about just consider this the ramblings of a half crazed person and go to the next blog.  Those that do know it  *high five*. Of course, there is that wonderful thing called GOOGLE.

Okay, I will spare you :

A Tardis is a blue box that the good Doctor rides around in to different times and planets and helps people and causes a bunch of ruckus along the way.

Here is more photos of some of the adventure of Tardis Cake and its faithful companion Josie for her 10th birthday!

Now, I am off to do more research on that of victims of serial killers in order to write a paper I am really behind on doing….
