Chernaudi's blog and random stuff...

Hi everyone.

I didn't have a good weekend.  I was sick and depressed almost the whole time, and I felt so bad I didn't even go into work on Monday.

I'm still not 100% today.  But at least I'm a lot better off than I was the past few days.  I'm on new medication, and the weather has gotten better.

So I now feel a little bit like this:

Hi everyone.

There's still issues at work with the scanning program not working right, but I at least got four filed indexed before I covered the front desk the rest of the day.

I'll just spend the rest of tonight and my waking hours tomorrow looking up stuff and taking advantage of the fact that I'm starting to feel better.

Also, would anyone know of where to find a good, cheap screen protector/anti-glare filter for a laptop?

Hi everyone.

Last night was a good night until just before I went to bed.  Good news is that I got to talk to a friend that I haven't heard from for a while.  Bad news is that I started to feel sick before I tried to go to sleep last night, didn't sleep much, and I'm not feeling too good now.

So I'm going to try and work on getting myself better this weekend and such.

Hi everyone.

I feel a bit better today. It feels more humid outside, but then again it's supposed to rain tonight.

At least I'm working on some gaming stuff since last night that I've been putting off. I'll also be doing dishes at some point tonight, too.

And this is a purely subjective question, but which of these look better? One photo is of the early season spec 2015 Audi R18, the other is the Le Mans spec version as raced at Spa in May. Audi will run the car in the latter form for the rest of the season according to them:

Hi everyone.

I'll be spending part of today with a friend of mine.  It'll be hot and humid, but I'll try and balance that out by spending time in places that are air conditioned.  I'll also be visiting the bird sanctuary.  I'll also be trying to keep up a bit with a test that's going on at the Nurburgring in Germany.  Day one was yesterday but was largely a washout.  Today is predicted to be mostly dry.

I'll be trying to find something to eat that I can make quickly and get in a nap before I go out today.

Hi everyone.

I've had a decent couple of days.  I get paid today and that means errands.  But other than that, I haven't been up to too much.

Hi everyone.

I ran some errands today and slept in for a while.  I have a new curtain that will be going up in the kitchen and I also ordered a new anti-glare screen protector for my laptop.  I'm hoping that both will solve some glare issues that I've been having while using my laptop.

Other than that, I haven't really been up to too much.

Hi everyone.

I feel that I need to disclose something that's been happening over the past few days that at first freaked me out quite a bit.

On Tuesday, my grandma wasn't doing too well, and the doctor at one hospital ruled it out as far as being a stroke or dehydration.  She wasn't getting any better during the day, so we took her to a different hospital.  Long story short, she was having hallucinations and such, and it was finally determined that the main cause wasn't dehydration (though she had a touch of that), nor a stroke, but a urinary tract infection.  In older people, UTIs can cause temporary hallucinations and metal instability/bizarre behavior until the infection clears up.

Of course, we had no idea of this until about Friday when my grandma's regular doctor became her primary care physician for her hospital stay.  Grandma never complained of issues when she went to the bathroom so we didn't know exactly what was going on until then.

Thankfully, she's a lot better now and she'll be home fairly soon after she receives some physical therapy.

Also, there's this video of Liana:

Hi everyone.

I had a good day at work today and I visited grandma where she's having her therapy done.  She's doing good, though she does want to come home, which I understand and I want her home, too.  But that won't happen for at least another week or so.

This has been a pretty busy week for me, so I'll be trying to rest up and catch up on some stuff this weekend.

Hi everyone.

It was pretty warm and humid today, so it wasn't insanely pleasant for me.  Though, I watched the NASCAR race from Watkins Glen, but I really haven't done too much aside from that.

So I'll be making myself some pizza tonight and try and stay cool while I do some stuff online/on my laptop.

Hi everyone.

Yesterday was pretty non-exciting.  Only really interesting thing I did aside from go to work is that I tried a new Gatorade flavor that on Friday I'll probably buy can of the powdered version.

Today, though, we have our new DirecTV system installed.  Not a ton interesting to me because I don't watch TV a ton most of the time, but I'm interested in some of the features it offers.

Also, I found this collection of blog postings from World Bird Sanctuary about Barn Owls with HQ photos:

You can look at other owls and birds by using the search feature.

Hi everyone.

I went to take a nap last evening, but it turned into an all-nighter.  I did get some of that Gatorade stuff I wanted and I also picked up a bottle of a new flavor I wanted to try--and have yet to try, as it's sitting unopened in the refrigerator.

Today, I just plan on spending some time outside and looking up some stuff online, maybe talking to a friend online at some point today.  Not much new, but I do get my pay check tomorrow

Hi everyone.

The weekend is here, I've run my errands and it's time to relax.  I'm thinking of watching the NASCAR race from Mid-Ohio on TV and looking up some stuff and doing some gaming stuff later on, as well as doing some dishes.

Also, next week, I might try and make some homemade Salisbury steaks since I have some hamburger patties in my freezer.

Other than that, I'm not going to really be up to much.

Hi everyone.

Sorry I haven't written much this week, but this week's been pretty miserable so far.  I've been sick since Sunday with what I think is a cold, but it's not leaving me.  And it's been really annoying and draining, especially with the weather.  And I'm not alone, the past two weeks my brothers have had something similar and one of my friends was also sick all last week with something similar.

One bright spot is that if all goes well, my grandma should be back home today.  I'll wait and see if that happens, but I've been told that she should be back home sometime today.

Hi everyone.

Tonight has been the first time since Saturday night that I've felt sort of normal this whole week.  For the rest of tonight, I'll be resting up and looking up a few things.  

Outside of that, I'm hoping to go back to work tomorrow, which shouldn't be a problem now that I'm actually finally starting to feel better.  Normally, a cold only bothers me for 1-2 days and I get over them quickly.  This thing has hung around all week, and I've only started to feel significantly better tonight.

Other than that, I just want things to get back to normal.  Grandma's home and she's doing OK and finally, no one in my immediate family is deathly ill like I've been this week.  My older brother had this all last week, my little brother got it over the weekend, and I got it Sunday.

Hi everyone.

I'm still a little sick, because of I have a runny/congested nose and a hacking cough that won't go away.  But at least I'm back to work and Grandma's moving around the house better.

I have some errands tomorrow.  I have $20 to help pay down a library fine and try and pick some stuff up at the grocery store.  I'll be more loaded Friday when I cash my paycheck and such.

Other than that, I haven't had too much going on.

Hi everyone.

I've been feeling a bit tired recently.  I've been still trying to get over my cold, but right now I'm feeling pretty good.  

I have work and an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow, and I also get paid.  Good news is that I'll be doing this with a friend and there's a few things that I'd like to do during that time.

But other than that, I don't have a ton of stuff to do, aside from get ready for tomorrow and the weekend.

Hi everyone.

Today has gone decently but it's insanely warm and humid again, so it's pretty nasty where there's no air conditioning.

Other than that, I haven't been up to too much aside from trying to stay cool.

Hi everyone.

It's hot and off and on stormy where I live, and I have fans going to try and keep me cool as well as some Italian ice.

We're still having problems at work with our new scanning system.  I'm just hoping that the issues with it get fixed before the company pulls support on our old system.  It's not a good sign when your boss spent most of the day when I was there writing up a letter to send to the company who made our scanning software.

But other than that everything's going OK I guess.

But at least I found this video of a barn owl that killed a snake that was trying to eat her babies:

Hi everyone.

Today has been hot and nasty again.  Just one of those days you wish a thunderstorm would come though and drop the temperatures about 15 degrees or so.  

So, I have the fans going and I've been drinking a lot of stuff that's cold.  I'll just look up some stuff online and try and find cool places to stay in the house.

Hi everyone.

It's still pretty nasty with the heat and humidity today.  It also produces a weird feeling of feeling like when the sun goes down it feels like the temperature instantly drops about 15 degrees or so and they're already dew on the grass.

So this is the way it'll be during my vacation from work.  At least on Wednesday when I head back in a front will move though and cool things down a bit.

So I'll just be doing my normal stuff during my days off work as well as trying to keep up on an Audi test that's going on in France later this week.

I'll be back later

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

It's more of the same story here with the weather.  At least my fan arrangement is working as far as keeping me cool.  I've got an eye doctors appointment tomorrow morning, at least it's early in the morning so it won't be so hot, and after work on Wednesday, I'll be trying to get a Domino's pizza.  

That, and trying to follow info from the test that Audi are doing in Magny Cours in France, are the highlights of my week so far.

Hi everyone.

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but I've been busy with work and some other stuff.

I also found this blog about a make up and fashion blogger who is paralyzed from the chest down as a result of a car accident.  But she's made big strides in her life and is also a motivational speaker:

I don't have much in the way of plans this weekend other than catching up on some stuff.

[*Chernaudi]

Hi everyone.

The past few days have been pretty successful. Finally, all the problems with scanning have been sorted out at work and things are running smoothly now. I also spent time out with a friend today and she's getting internet and cable installed at her house tomorrow, so I can email her and stuff.

Next week might be busy, between work and not just one but possibly two outings. One is set in stone more than likely, the other is possible depending on how things work out.

So that's what I've been up to recently.

I'll be back later
