Kindle2 and great CS with Amazon

On yesterday 10/1/09 my "baby" was delivered to me. In baby, I mean my Kindle2...lol I was so hurt when I went to read on my Kindle on 9/30/ and the screen was half screen saver and half words. I did not know if it had just malfunctioned or if my very unruly boys had gotten to it. The only reason I did not totally lose it at once was because I had heard a similar story and learned that Amazon replaced that persons Kindle in record time. Well I called Amazon at almost 11 pm CST and had someone on the line in less than a minute. She told me that perhaps the battery was low and to just charge it for four full hours and do a reset. If the problem was not resolved than to call back and they would ship out a new one no questions asked. I had a very distinct feeling I would be calling back but I eventually just went to sleep. At 7 the following morning, I checked the K2 and it was not any better. I called into CS again and again my call was answered promptly, the person was very nice and I did not have to go through a bunch of red tape and 20 questions. Amazon e-mailed me a return lable and my Kindle was literally delivered the very next day! The customer service and the shipping time was outstanding. It is not to often these days that you get service like that. Truly a pleasant experience and a major relief. I may have had a serious relaspe had anything else happened! :-)

Me and Leslie reunite!

This morning I did the two mile fast start with Leslie Sansone as well as yesterday. Monday the 28th I did a mile on my own without the dvd and last week I did one mile. I'm working up to two miles every day with some interval training. It really helps with the depression at times and hopefully I will knock off some weight in the process. I'm on the Walk away the pounds message boards and I have a walk buddy I talk with on Facebook so hopefully this time nothing will get in my way. I want to do this for the rest of my life!!!!

Been away for a while

I've been away for quite some time but it is not fun to blog with no responses! (smiles) Oh well, At least I can vent here and have a hard copy of it as well. My BP is definitely been on the down side for quite some time and the untimely death of my Aunt Chenita McNair Peoples on 7/25/09 has not made it any better. I hurt from the loss but I really hurt for her only daughter and my Mom and the many other people that are deeply affected by her passing. I love you Auntie...

Life at home as also plays a part in my depression yet is also the reason I keep moving. Being a single parent and financially strapped really takes it toll on me and the chronic pain really gets to me.

I have tried once again to start a home based business and it is going fairly well. I thought my childrens book would be on a bookstore shelf by now but problems have not been resolved thus far and that is a downer but I'm sure it will get done to completion.

My weight is up to a ridiculous level and that really crushes me as I worked so very hard to lose weight. I lost about 67 pounds and have gained every pound and probably a few extra ones. I was doing very well until two bouts of pneumonia and then pain flare ups back to back. I stopped exercising, fell into a deeper depression and you can figure out the rest.

My relationship is okay but just not where I want or need it to be...

Post more later today...

Golden Ticket

July 12, 2008,After waking up several times to pee and to take a pain pill I lied on my bed as the pain works it 's way up from my toes. I hope the pain pill I just took kicks in VERY soon. I start to think about how my life has been like and what will it be like. I'm trying hard to make small changes, but it seems as if none of my efforts are really making a good enough difference. Then a scene from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory comes to mind. ( A lot of things from that movie has been popping up in my mind lately, and I'm not so sure why as it has been a very long time, since I've seen it) Anyway, I'm thinking of the scene where Charlie is feeling down in the dumps about not finding a Golden Ticket. He walks to his Mother's work and is talking to her about how he is feeling. She tells him that one day things will change. He then asks her when will they change, and she tells him probably when you least expect it. Could it be that I'm sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring? We all know that a watched phone never rings. Perhaps I should just continue to do what I'm doing and when I least expect it, I too will get my "Golden Ticket".

Lawrence and me

Lawrence has gone with me to MFS many times as well and he supportive of me but it is very trying for him as well to deal with someone with this disorder. It takes a serious toll on my entire life and the lives of those I love the most!

What MFS is

MFS is a place in my hometown where you can get support and medications for Bipolar disorder. It does help at times and other times I feel as if it is a waste of time...
