Almost at 200 packages of Ramen since the beginning of this blog like what...over 2 years ago? I think.
And I just posted elsewhere on the internet that I'm at a crossroads. I'm not sure if I should go totally Vegan or go back to having meat in my diet? I've been a Vegetarian now for 12 years. But, I really need to do something about my weight, and working out is not an option right now because of my knee and issues from the car accident few years ago.
So I'll ask it again here, for anyone who might be reading and know. Would it be easier to go totally Vegan for a year or so, or bring meat back into my diet?
I have to admit, it would be lovely to cook a roast chicken again. And I'd actually be able to make a real ramen broth for once from scratch.
Let me know what you think, what you've done in the past, etc.
till later

season 2 day 57
oh my it's been a month? I really lost track of things.
The last few weeks, I've been working on a new manuscript. It was suppose to be a short story, but it's turned into a novel.
Other then that, I've been having a lot of headaches, mostly due I think to the late hours at the computer typing on the manuscript.
The weekend was busy for my wrestling blog. As it was Wrestlemaina weekend.
As far as my vampire movie a day project, dude, I'm in so much trouble. I haven't worked on it or the side projects in over a week. I've become the type of person I hate. And I have no excuse for it.
Sorry to my readers, till later

season 2 Day 56
Just got back from the dentist. Had to take a cab there and back, which cost me more then I want to admit to.
And, I've got to go back in a few weeks for a filling. Damn it!
With the O.I., my teeth have been an issue. Osteogenesis Imperfecta, for anyone who hasn't been following much or just does not remember, is brittle bones. Which I have Type One. And your teeth, as many people don't even think about when they think about bones, are well bones.
So my teeth have been a cause of anxiety my whole life. Using bleaching products to whiten them is forbidden by my dentist because of the fact they strip away layers of bone...er teeth...er bone... you know what I mean, in order to actually whiten.
Yeah, that bit of sensitivity you feel when you use the bleaching products is because you've just given yourself a lower bone density in your teeth. Think about that for a few minutes.

Season 2 Day 40
Ever have one of those days where you just want to throw the computer out the window like the do in movies?
It's been another one of those mornings. Driving me nuts actually.
Anyways, I saw this movie this morning, called "Hungry for Change" about how in the modern world, we have become so used to eating processed foods, that we don't even realize it anymore. And what I was shocked by, was the amount of aspartame that is hidden in things. Like candy and corn syrup.
You might remember, few weeks ago I ranted about how I don't care for diet pop because of the aspartame in it and the horrible after taste it gives.
After watching that documentary, it makes me almost not want to eat anything anymore. And it showed how companies have gotten sneaky with just how much they hide and omit from labels.
I wish I had room where i live for a garden...

Season 2 Day 38
I know it doesn't always seem it lately,but I'm a big believer in positive thinking.
There is one thing I've learned because of my disability, there is no healing without positive thinking.
And anyone who has managed to make things happen in their life will say the same thing, you put so much of your energy into something and the rest is believing in it. That goes for everything from work to relationships to finding a really rare issue of Batman #14. Okay I'm guessing on the comic, but you get my point.
So, I'm part of this forum, and there are a few people on there that when you bring up certain topics, they tell you to stop dreaming. Now, let me just say that the topic they're so negative about is the main topic people end up on the forum for.
But that's not the point I'm trying to make, the point is for as much positivity a person builds around them and puts into the universe, there are three times the people sending out negativity into the world blocking things from happening.
And lots of times it's something they don't even realize they are doing.

Season 2 Day 37
I am now waiting for my mom and sister to stop by. Not to visit, but to drop off some stuff because I can't get out of the apartment. It's slippery out. Why my mom is going out is beyond me, she's as bad off as I am.
This is depressing. I will be beyond grateful if I don't honestly loose my mind over the next few weeks. I've been in this situation more times over the years then I can count. Stuck inside during winter because it's too dangerous for someone with O.I. to be tempting the ice.
I wonder if I will ever feel like an adult?

Season 2 Day 32
There is a tarot site I like to read every so often. This week, the discussion was about the Three of Swords.
A card about pain and heartbreak but also about brutal truth.
Ironically, my card. It was the very first card I ever pulled in the first reading I ever had. The sight of the card, no matter what deck, always leaves the person with a sigh of loathing.
As I was reading the article, it got me thinking about some stuff.
One of those is the fact it has been a silent card the last few months. But the Two of Swords has been popping up like weeds in the last few months.
The Two of Swords is a card of silent conflict, of disbelief and of being afraid to make a choice. Staying in a situation that is unhealthy because you're too afraid to do anything else.
That card has been everywhere this year. And given my situation, it all makes sense now. But it took reading about the dreaded Three of Swords for me to make the connection that's been staring me in the face all year.
I'm starting to think that the knee injury was the transition from the two to the three. In real English, whenever I've had a broken leg in my past, it's ended up being a time in my life where I've ended up having a massive life change. Usually because I was doing something I wasn't suppose to be doing even though I secretly knew better. And I would end up with a broken leg and have to literally sit still and rethink everything in my life, eventually doing something completely different after recovery.
See, now it's making some sense.
I have been feeling like I'm stuck in some limbo for the last few years, for different reasons. The writer's block -I thought was the result- now I'm starting to think it was just a warning sign.
It's what makes working with Tarots such an interesting thing. Just like every deck's design is different because every illustrator is different, it's going to give you just what you need just when you need it.

Season 2 Day 31
Ramen... it's just a night for noodles.
Few episodes of Angel, and it would seem, fighting a cold. I must have gotten it when I went to see Twilight 5 Breaking Dawn part 2.
Been working the last few days on a story. And I think I might have hit another round of blockage. Managed to get 30 pages written this week. Which, for the state of my writing in the last few years, is amazing.
Nothing like what I used to be able to crank out. I could write a whole novel, over 390 pages, in about three weeks. Now, I'm lucky if I can get 20 pages in that amount of time.
Nothing else really happening at the moment.
catch up later.

s2 d26 continued
The doctor's appointment.
It went fine. The surgeon was happy with everything, had me bend my leg, straighten it, looked at the scar, took x-rays, and was overall pleased. He did make a comment about how he doesn't see any reason why in time, that I shouldn't be able to do everything I was able to before it happened. So that makes me feel better.
It's been a long an painful 9 and 1/2 months with this whole knee issue. I still have nightmares from it. Hell, I still have nightmares from my car accident and couple of my older injuries that happened 15 years ago.
I can't handle pain at all. Totally useless when a crisis happens.
The surgeon did mention again about having my ankle redone at some point.
When I was 23 years old, I double dislocated my ankle and have had a pin in it ever since. The surgeon thinks it would be wise to have an upgrade on it.

Getting ready for what should be my last doctor's appointment with the surgeon. So, yay I get to spend half the day sitting around the fracture clinic waiting room in the hospital.
So, yeah field trip.
So very short post for this morning. I'll throw this in the post for the hell of it.

Season 2 Day 13
Home!
listening to Sixx A.M. "This is Gonna Hurt" cd. Damn, I didn't realize how much I missed my cds. I've tracked down a few videos here and there online while I was at mom's but, nothing is as good as your own music collection.
Looking around my hovel, it's both wonderful to be home and terrifying at the same time. Back last winter before I fell and destroyed my knee and life, I was in the middle of packing hoping that disability would have found me a new place. Now, over the course of the last 7 and a half months that I've been at mom's recovering, my mom and uncle would come here to get my mail and picked up a few things for me.
Of which they had to search and search for, tossing other stuff all over the place. At one point, they took my bedroom curtains down. Which were large pieces of dark material to make my room as dark as possible.
I have no idea how I'm going to get the material back up? I can't climb on a chair anymore. Damn, that's going to make issues with changing light bulbs too...

Season 2 Day 12
It's a lovely rainy morning. I'm hanging out on GetGlue, and watching last night's WWE Raw.
Still don't understand why they think having it over three hours is a good idea? I still think it's an hour and half too long.
Looks like I'm finally going to get home tomorrow. and the odd thing is, mom was asking how long I plan to be before I come back? She wasn't being snarky or sarcastic either.
Nearly 8 months I've been stuck here. I just want to get home. Even if I am going to be stuck inside my own apartment for the winter.
Friday was my last day of physio therapy, and I really feel the difference. Just this last couple of days, my knee is killing me. I didn't realize how much the machines they had me working on and the way the therapist had to work on my leg, was keeping it loose. At lest there is no more swelling in it.
That's about it for this morning. Catch you all later

Season 2 Day 10
Okay so I've been off line since yesterday. Not on purpose. We had internet issues and both our computers were down.
The poor repair/tech guy just left and I'm sure he was wanting to rip his hair out because we were asking stuff and explaining what had happened.
Let me rephrase that, I was trying to explain and my mother was talking over me asking questions and the poor tech guy was literally spinning in circles for about fifteen minutes while he tried to get the gist of it all.
But, problem solved! But, I am yet another day behind on the movie de jour.
And I have no idea if I'm done physio therapy or not. Was there today, but therapist left before I had a chance to talk to him. I'll find out on Monday morning if I need to go back or not.
You don't realize just how addicted you are to something till it breaks down on you. I'm such an internet junkie.

Season 2 Day 9
The last few days have been really crappy. I haven't really had much to say, nor have I wanted to talk.
Wanna start with physio therapy being cancelled again this week. Both yesterday and today's were because my physio therapist hasn't come back yet. Which makes me wonder if everything went okay with his wife and the baby?
Guess I'll find out tomorrow one way or another.
Friday, is suppose to be my last day for physio therapy. But now, with having missed nearly a full week, I'm wondering if they will extend it another week or just let it ride?
Looks like I am finally getting to the cinema tonight. Long story. But I've been wanting to see that vampire cartoon Hotel Transylvania since I first heard about it back in May.
I guess I better save up money now for next month so that I can see the final episode of Twilight. again, long story filled with too much drama.
What it boils down to is I am still not able to take a bus yet and need a ride cause, I don't drive.
Season 4 of Vampire Diaries starts tomorrow. I'm going to just DVR it for a few episodes till after I can see season 3. And yes, I broke down and ordered season 3 few days ago from amazon. Should be here by the weekend.
Safe to say, vampires are a massive weakness. I feel like the catch phrase for that one wrestler Ryback... feed me more.
If you missed the movie de jour yesterday, it was Day 287 a musical.

Season 2 Day 8
I was just hanging out on GetGlue, and someone made a comment about vampire movies.
I answered them. Most likely just pissed them off to no end, but that's about all I'm good at... vampire movies. And pissing people off at times.
Seriously, vampires are a topic I could spend days on. Or years for that matter. Or you know, a year.
Speaking of vampires, I just finished watching seasons 1 and 2 of Vampire Diaries. Have to get my paws on season 3 asap. Too bad for me season 3 is like $80 on DVD
Again, not much happening around here today. I spend way too much time online. Hoping once I get back home in the next few days, that my craft projects and books will keep me sane for a bit. It will be weird living alone again after this last 7 months stuck on mom's sofa.
And there's this weird lump right under my knee cap. Well, can't say weird, as it's the spot where the bone is fixed back together from the surgery. Just, it's un-pretty.
Happy Thanksgiving if you're in Canada.

Season 2 Day 6
What a lovely long weekend for me.
I was just getting ready, having just scrambled off two short blog posts on the same thing basically for the main blog and the vampire blog, as it's author Anne Rice's birthday; when I got a call from the hospital. My physio therapy is cancelled for today and tomorrow on account of my therapist's wife having gone into labor. And it's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. So I have like a 5 day weekend.
Whoo- and a hoo!
And that's basically all I've got to talk about right now. I've only been up for 45 minutes.
Short blog, catch you all later.

Day 365
Oh my god, I finished something!
That was part of the reason for doing a "year" of blogging. so this wasn't perfect. I mean, man, it took me an extra what 9 months I think to complete 365 days. Something I didn't manage to do on the original YILOORN blog.
The reason I never continued on that one was because I wanted to distance myself from the crap, from the drama that had been the start point of the original one. And I felt fake on that original YILOORN blog. I was catering a lot to the women's group I had joined at that time. I was hiding from a former friend/business partner and basically from myself.
I know there has been moments on this one that has leaned towards some but still, I feel this blog here is so much lighter, warmer, and healthier then some of the other blogs I've worked on over the years.
If I had been thinking clearly, when I started the one movie a day challenge back on December 3rd 2011, I would have done the blogging for that either on here or else on my main blog. But, I was so in the moment with the idea of blogging for a year straight with a purpose; that I went off and created the movie blog.
I think that might have been part too of why this blog got so in the weeds for awhile, I didn't have a theme or purpose for it for a really long time. Ironically, this is where I felt the most comfortable talking about my knee injury that it became the health update blog.
My poor readers. Those of you who have been loyal to me the most, I'm sorry I've made you jump around so much from blog to blog.
I have to figure out now how to turn around the energy on some of my other blogs to make a few people more comfortable reading them. And myself for that matter. There has been times when I've logged into my own blogs to post and have gotten just bad vibes because of other people having visited, or left comments or what have you.
And even if you don't believe that sort of thing, you can't deny that some places on the internet just make you feel overwhelmed or tired or icky.
Either way, you understand what I mean.
So, I am down to something like 90 days on the movie challenge blog. I've completed 275 days of movies. And even though I missed last night, it's crunch time now. I will not be able to miss many more in order to complete it before New Years. So here's hoping nothing unforeseen happens between now and the end of December to keep me from doing so.
Which means, all the "what that movie inspired me to do" projects will have to wait till after the new year. And I do have a few in progress as well as a short list of ones I still want to do. The movie blog will have to be straight up movies and maybe a few quotes here and there, nothing that's going to take too many hours from the day.
I spend close to 4 hours of the day in physio therapy now, 5 days a week.
And you might be wondering why I'm feeling the rush not to go over the movie challenge into the New Year? Well, because I've already got the beginning stages of a second one started.
One that I want to start on January the 1st 2013. I've been hinting at it for the last few weeks, and I am actually excited about it.
For anyone who is just tuning into this, you might be wondering why a grown woman would be excited about something like challenging herself to watch one movie a day for a year?
Because, I learned stuff about myself during this first experiment. And I am talking about the movie challenge. I learned how well or not so well depending on your point of view, I can handle the unexpected. I learned a lot about how my relationships with my family members were not what I always thought they were.
And I'm still learning. Which I think is a great point of the project.
I just realized how long this blog post is, so I will wrap this one up.
I'm still going to use this blog, I just have to figure out what direction I want to take it.
Catch up with everyone tomorrow...

I know there has been moments on this one that has leaned towards some but still, I feel this blog here is so much lighter, warmer, and healthier then some of the other blogs I've worked on over the years.
If I had been thinking clearly, when I started the one movie a day challenge back on December 3rd 2011, I would have done the blogging for that either on here or else on my main blog. But, I was so in the moment with the idea of blogging for a year straight with a purpose; that I went off and created the movie blog.
I think that might have been part too of why this blog got so in the weeds for awhile, I didn't have a theme or purpose for it for a really long time. Ironically, this is where I felt the most comfortable talking about my knee injury that it became the health update blog.
My poor readers. Those of you who have been loyal to me the most, I'm sorry I've made you jump around so much from blog to blog.
I have to figure out now how to turn around the energy on some of my other blogs to make a few people more comfortable reading them. And myself for that matter. There has been times when I've logged into my own blogs to post and have gotten just bad vibes because of other people having visited, or left comments or what have you.
And even if you don't believe that sort of thing, you can't deny that some places on the internet just make you feel overwhelmed or tired or icky.
Either way, you understand what I mean.
So, I am down to something like 90 days on the movie challenge blog. I've completed 275 days of movies. And even though I missed last night, it's crunch time now. I will not be able to miss many more in order to complete it before New Years. So here's hoping nothing unforeseen happens between now and the end of December to keep me from doing so.
Which means, all the "what that movie inspired me to do" projects will have to wait till after the new year. And I do have a few in progress as well as a short list of ones I still want to do. The movie blog will have to be straight up movies and maybe a few quotes here and there, nothing that's going to take too many hours from the day.
I spend close to 4 hours of the day in physio therapy now, 5 days a week.
And you might be wondering why I'm feeling the rush not to go over the movie challenge into the New Year? Well, because I've already got the beginning stages of a second one started.
One that I want to start on January the 1st 2013. I've been hinting at it for the last few weeks, and I am actually excited about it.
For anyone who is just tuning into this, you might be wondering why a grown woman would be excited about something like challenging herself to watch one movie a day for a year?
Because, I learned stuff about myself during this first experiment. And I am talking about the movie challenge. I learned how well or not so well depending on your point of view, I can handle the unexpected. I learned a lot about how my relationships with my family members were not what I always thought they were.
And I'm still learning. Which I think is a great point of the project.
I just realized how long this blog post is, so I will wrap this one up.
I'm still going to use this blog, I just have to figure out what direction I want to take it.
Catch up with everyone tomorrow...

Day 364
One day to go on this "assignment" then I start a new one.
I actually slept till the alarm went off this morning. And I feel like I lost half my morning. Gotten so used to being up 45minutes before the alarm, didn't realize how much I actually got done in that extra time.
So short post this morning.
I'm terrible at multitasking. Really wish I didn't have to go to physio today. Could use more sleep.
Having first cup of coffee and then rushing to get ready to go.
I'll post more later...

Day 362
I'm up, once again before the alarm. Which, I suppose is a good thing as it lets me get this done without becoming late for physio.
Anyway, not a lot to say this morning. Checking in to GetGlue, moping about the fact I'm missing out on all the Halloween sales at the stores because I haven't been shopping since the day I smashed up my knee. And when I say shopping, I mean I have not been to the mall, or Walmart even. I don't really consider five minutes at the craft store shopping.
And with Zellers going out of business here... all those clearance sales in the dvd department... deep sigh.
I said it before in real life and on the blogs, in Sex and the City Carrie Bradshaw had her shoe addiction and I have my DVD addiction.
Just a few more days on this blog for this "year" then I will be starting fresh with a new single focus. And at that time, my other blog - the big red one- will become my main blog again. Or so that's my plan at this moment.
But if I learned anything from the knee injury is that plans can chance in the blink of an eye.
Okay coffee now, then off to physio therapy for three hours.

Day 359
I turn on my computer, it flashes and suddenly there is Skype.
I don't use skype, don't even know how it got on my computer. But for some reason, it won't let me delete it.
Morning.
Cold, rainy, dark. Just the way I like it. It is officially the first day of Fall. Lovely.
Not much to talk about this morning. I'm finally caught up on my wrestling for the last week. Minus last night's TNA Impact that is. I either have to wait for the show to be officially uploaded to Spike or hunt it down on youtube.
Okay, off to have a coffee then get ready for physio. My knee is starting to look normal shaped now that the swelling is down. I hope my scar fades a bit as it takes up half my leg.
