Oh Katrina!

It's a good thing I'm off today. I slept a whopping 12+ hours! I wasn't feeling too good yesterday so I figured I'd better sleep the icky feeling off. Saturday was really looney mental at work. I was ready to drop dead after I clocked out. You can add my overactive thinking to that too. Drat! I want to shut the thoughts out already. It's driving me insane and I'm really starting to feel it's toll on my health.

Anyhow, I just did my laundry, played chauffer to my mom and her friend, semi-organized my fat closet and watched TV all day. We've got a bajillion channels thanks to digital cable but there's still NOTHING to watch. All I see is Ms. Katrina Hurricane kicking New Orleans' behind. I'm not too worried though. I'm sure the Federal Government can take care of things down there. If a typhoon this nuts and angry hits the Philippines.... Tsk Tsk! Sorry, but I have very little faith in my former home's government. Screw our money sucking politicians!!!

How ignoramus of me, I only found out recently that typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones are all alike but are distinguished by their origin courtesy of my walking encyclopedia of a dad. It's amazing just how much he knows about the world. Ask him anything and he is sure to know at least something about it.

• Pacific Ocean - typhoons (visits our beloved Philippines 20+ times a year and gets alphabet names, illicits happiness because of NO CLASSES, causes black/"brown" outs, panic buying of groceries, getting stuck in traffic for hours & hours you wouldn't believe it anymore etc... etc... If you grew up in Manila, you'd know the drill, I miss it to some extent hehe! )
• Atlantic Ocean - hurricanes (Wow! They made evacuation mandatory down there. Katrina is mataray ah!!! )
• Indian Ocean - cyclones (Sorry, I don't have a clue about these things!)

They called me up today to ask if I wanted more hours, I said no! But next time I'll say yes. I do want more hours=money but their timing is always off. I'll be working everyday starting tomorrow. I'm sure it's going to be another jungle this week so I better brace myself.
I scored at an antique/flea market yesterday. I got three granny looking vintage purses for under $20 total! YAY! I'm keeping track of a few more market dates, I still need a vanity and a small trunk. I hope I find something unexpected!!!
Okay, that's that for now. I better concentrate chatting with these six people on YM.
