<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hola People!</p>
<p>So while eating Lays chilli chips with garlic sauce (EPIC mixture! try it!) I was literally begging myself for some rambles. My eyes fell on my chips and I suddenly remembered Kaleb Nation The Awesomest asking Robert Pattinson The I-Couldn&#8217;t-Care-Less-About-Hygiene king what his favorite type of cookie was (if you didn&#8217;t know it was white chocolate chip.)</p>
<p>So I thought, <em>&#8220;Hey that&#8217;s pretty creative and original! What would I like to ask a random celebrity?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ok, honestly it was more of. <em>&#8220;Hahahaha! Cool Question. I also remember that Brit female from CNN or BBC who asked him what sound would cheese make if it were audible not edible! HAHAHAHA!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>So, back to the story, I looked at my sister&#8217;s <em>soft toys</em> and I came up with a question!</p>
<p><img src="http://product-image.tradeindia.com/00229018/b/0/Fabric-for-Soft-Toys.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;<em>Ahem. Imagine that you have won a lottery which you haven&#8217;t paid for the prize is a custom-maid soft toy! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  You can&#8217;t really refuse otherwise a huge custom-made soft toy will be wasted! So, what soft toy would you ask for? Teddy-bears NOT allowed!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>See how this question is custom-made so that the celeb can&#8217;t say something like &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t buy a soft toy at <em>this</em> age!&#8221; They&#8217;re forced to answer!</p>
<p>While writing this I looked at my thumbring. Here comes <em>another </em>question. This one is for male celebs only.</p>
<p>The <em>original </em>question was, &#8220;<em>Do you prefer piercings or shoes?&#8221; These objects are used as metaphors to describe the type of girls you would like.&#8221; . </em>Obviously, they would answer the hackneyed answer. <em>Shoes. </em>How unoriginal.<br />
Gradually the shoes changed to <em>girly shoes</em> and <em>tattoos</em> was added with piercings. And a few more edits along the way.<br />
Here&#8217;s the present, modified, all-new question.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;What do you prefer? Stilettos? Spectacles? Or Tattoos and Piercings? Each of them representing a type of girl. Stilettos representing blondes. Spectacles representing brunettes. And Tattoos and Piercings represent goth chicks. The hair is just optional! Scarlets, Highlights, streaks or dyed hair works too! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8220;</em></p>
<p>If the celebs chose the stilettos, well, we <em>all</em> know what they&#8217;re like don&#8217;t we? (Joke people!)<br />
If they chose the goth chick, they are very unique and original in their choices and are not afraid of being themselves. They also give goth chicks some hope that they could be a hot celebs liking! And they possibly like black. And holes in your body with jewellery in them. (I know what that sound like!!! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> )<br />
If they chose the bespectacled brunette, then they are very compassionate, romantic and drawn towards intelligence. And they possibly think that awkwardness is cute!</p>
<p>So this question estimates their approximate likings and their possible <em>real</em> personality.</p>
<p>My hands were beginning to feel numb as the A.C. was on high, and I started squeezing my hand with my other much-warmer hand. Lot of good that did. Anyways I started concentrating on how my fingers were bunching up together and how it represented your partner squeezing your hand when you need support so I came up with this.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Whose hand would you like to hold right now? Mom and Dad NOT included!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Even a bit of hesitation can cause quite a stir can&#8217;t it? But, I didnt create this question with <em>that</em> in mind. I was just curious.<br />
But this might be quite a boring question for celebs with obvious and open relationships.</p>
<p>I yawned then looking around my inspirational and recently tidied(by my mom) room looking for some more inspiration.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/06_03/yawning030707_468x671.jpg" alt="yawn" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;How wide can you yawn?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I can assure you I do <em>not</em> want to look down the celebs neck. It is just a random question that popped into my mind. (But you have to admit, getting a glimpse of Taylor Lautner&#8217;s ultra-white teeth when he laughs at this <em>would</em> be EPIC!)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.usmagazine.com/files/taylor-lautner-b.jpg" alt="Taylor LAUTNER!" /></p>
<p>Another question came along with aa&#8230;.aaa&#8230;.*achooooo* *rumble rumble* *walls cave in* &#8230;..a sneeze&#8230;*wipes nose*</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Do you sneeze a lot when you wake up in the morning and get out of bed and feel the cold air?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I think this is a question that proves to all of us that celebs (including Robert PATTINSON) are human beings and that they face the daily hardships that us <em>common</em> people face too!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.truetwilight.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/robert-pattinson.jpg" alt="Robert PATTINSON" /></p>
<p>The following question would do that too.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Have you ever accidentally burped in public? After you reached stardom of course.&#8221; </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This would prove that they have the ability to be embarrassed and blush in front of a large audience and trip over their words too.</p>
<p>For Males:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8221; Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox?&#8221; </em></p>
<p>For Females:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>What would you like to be a Hot Vampire or a Compassionate Werewolf?</em></p>
<p>Reflecting back on the earlier morning&#8217;s discussion on Salman Khan&#8217;s amazing dress for Katrina Kaif which he painted himself made me think of another cool question.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>What is your secret talent, other than acting, that we, the people, dont know about?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Finally we get to know a little more about our favourite stars! And see if we have the same interests!</p>
<p>I guess im supposed to have a <em>EPIC</em> question. So here it is.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;If you were forced to stay away from fat food, junk, meat, sea-food, chicken, chocolate, caffeine and the whole lot, and live for a month only on tofu dogs what would be your reaction?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Hahahahahaha!</p>
<p>The reactions <em>i&#8217;m </em>expecting?</p>
<p>&#8220;WHAT?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Blech!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Uhhhhhhh!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I think I&#8217;m gonna be sick!&#8221;<br />
Moaning and Whining.<br />
&#8220;Gimme my junk back!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No chicken?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;YUCK!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;NOOOOOOooooo!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;AAAAAaaaaaah!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Can someone please save me!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Tofu dogs? What&#8230;..what <em>is </em>that?&#8221;</p>
<p>Haha! Enjoy!<br />
Send me some of the creative questions <em>you</em> would like to ask!</p>
<p>Always Rambling-ly and Questioningl-ly yours,<br />
A nut Who Rambles. And in this case Questions.Or Interviews.<br />
Adios!^_^</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Dammit, you cannot have her, you dark light, and no *capitals* for <em>you</em>, lest I name you, you evil thing, and allow you to breathe in any more of my life force than I have already let you inhale!</p>
<p>So I tell you this with the utmost of venom:  She is mine.  MINE, I say!  And you had best look elsewhere to feed.</p>
<p>Take note&#8230;<em> there is nothing for you here.</em> You, with your madness and your black cloak, all poised to steal her away from her beautiful self.  How dare you.  How DARE you!  Don&#8217;t you know that she is loved and wanted and perfect and sacred and how in the <em>hell</em> did you ever think you could take her away from me, hmmm?</p>
<p>But somehow you managed to do it.  Somehow.  You managed to do it.</p>
<p>You insidious bitch.</p>
<p>Move along now, then.  This Mother Tiger stands careful watch over her youngest, and I warn you she has claws, the pain of which you do NOT want to experience.</p>
<p>(Trust me.  You don&#8217;t.  I promise.)</p>
<p>Just let my girl be, can you???  Can&#8217;t you just put her back in the original upright position and back on that very normal teenage merry-go-round we all once rode so everything will be OK?  Can you do that for me?  Please?  PLEASE??!?</p>
<p>Because this mental illness shit is just too much.  I can&#8217;t deal with it.  I&#8217;m scared and worried and terrified and overwhelmed and dealing with my own demons in the meantime, so yeah&#8230;</p>
<p><em>LEAVE HER ALONE! I say!  LET HER BE!!!<br />
</em></p>
<p>Find some other helpless soul to devour.</p>
<p>Find someone else to haunt, to taunt, to eat up from the inside and make her spew her venom over those who love her without any thought to all the hurt it causes each and every one of us when it happens.</p>
<p>Find someone else.  Please.  Find another kid who isn&#8217;t mine.  I am begging you.  I am in tears.  I am pleading.  I can&#8217;t do this!  I just can&#8217;t&#8230;do&#8230;this.  Please don&#8217;t make me do this.  I am so afraid.  So lost.</p>
<p>Does that make me a bad person?  Does it?   Perhaps it does.  But in the cold early morning after a night of blood-letting I just want it all to stop and go away and I want to wake up happy for once.  Is that too much to ask?</p>
<p>So you?  Possible Schizophrenia?  You can go away now.  Probable Bi-Polar?  I am SOOOOO totally *done* with <em>you</em>!!  Definite Anxiety Disorder?  Well, we are old buds <em>(&#8220;Hey, ASS!&#8221;),</em> but your time with me is up now, so mkay &#8212; &#8220;Buh-Bye!!&#8221;</p>
<p>I am tired.  So tired.</p>
<p>All the days and weeks and months and years of this shit get jumbled up together in my head and they all land in the tarry morass of the fact that, in the end?  It just might *not* be all ok.  And that&#8217;s scary in so many ways I would really rather not imagine.</p>
<p>I am coming to the slow, sinking realization that there just might be no &#8220;fixing&#8221; of Kelly.</p>
<p>There is only acceptance and measured coping ~ the first of many steps on that very long Yellow Brick Road as we tip-toe through the poppies in The Dance Where We Try To Get Her Meds Right.</p>
<p>I wanna go home where it&#8217;s warm and safe and fuzzy.</p>
<p>But my ruby slippers seem to be broken.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This story begins with a dead ipod.  I had a wonderful Rob Bell <a href="http://www.marshill.org/teaching/pcast.php" target="_blank">sermon podcast </a>I planned to listen to on my drive last night to a prenatal appointment.  Instead, I found my ipod was dead.  No battery power remaining.  Shoot.   </p>
<p>A nice phone conversation with my sister got me to the prenatal, but coming home I had to resort to the radio.  I flipped through channels to catch the end of Focus on the Family with Dr. James Dobson.  He was railing about retailers who do not display Christmas decorations or wish customers a &#8220;Merry Christmas.&#8221;  Well folks, when Jim Dobson is riled up about something, he must do something .  Usually the result is a ban or a petition.  So Focus on the Family has created &#8220;<a href="http://174.123.118.2/" target="_blank">Stand for Christmas</a>&#8221; a website on which shoppers can report naughty stores and sign <a href="http://www.citizenlink.org/content/A000009208.cfm" target="_blank">a petition</a>.  Naughty stores wish customers a &#8220;Happy Holiday&#8221; or put up other holiday signs to honor Kwanzaa or Hanukkah or [gasp] do nothing at all!</p>
<p>Did you know Walmart is &#8220;Christmas-Friendly?&#8221;  That the giant mega-monster gets Dr. Dobson&#8217;s stamp of approval?  Oh indeed.</p>
<p>What a bunch of drivel. </p>
<p>Here I am worried that my Christmas gifts are ethically produced; that they are not made by enslaved children or exploited adults and &#8220;America&#8217;s most influential evangelical leader&#8221; is guiding his followers to instead count the number of &#8220;Merry Christmas&#8221; signs as they fill their carts with slave-made chocolate.</p>
<p>I know he isn&#8217;t a scoundrel.  He really isn&#8217;t.  He is a good guy.  But there are some very real issues surrounding American consumerism. </p>
<p>I just wish he would have gotten serious about something a little more in tune with the reason to celebrate the birth of Christ.  Maybe promote something like <a href="http://www.adventconspiracy.org" target="_blank">Advent Conspiracy</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Blije dingen:</p>
<ul>
<li>het regent niet meer! Opzich vond ik de regen niet heel erg, het gaf binnenshuis een heel gezellig woeligherfstweer-gevoel, maar je zonder een paraplu verplaatsen is ook wel prettig.</li>
<li>Timo is een schootjeskat! Zodra hij een vierkante centimeter vrije schoot ziet, springt ie.</li>
<li>m&#8217;n bestelling bij <a title="The Dainty Squid" href="http://www.thedaintysquid.com/">The Dainty Squid</a> is binnen en ik ben er superblij mee! :3 Hoera voor snelle post uit Amerika!</li>
<li><a title="Machinarium" href="http://machinarium.net/demo/">Machinarium</a>! De link komt van <a title="binsybaby" href="http://binsybaby.livejournal.com/654083.html#cutid1">binsybaby</a> en zij zegt: &#8220;It is visually gorgeous, has a beautiful soundtrack, and the gameplay is thoughtful and entertaining. Seriously, give it a look, the art and animations had me gleeful the whole time. I want to make cool games like that!&#8221;, iets waar ik het totaal mee eens ben. Normaliter ben ik niet zo van dit soort games (beter gezegd: ik ben helemaal niet zo van de games), waarschijnlijk door mijn gebrek aan ruimtelijk inzicht, maar dit is leuk! (:</li>
<li>zometeen verder knutselen aan m&#8217;n surprise en schaven aan gedichten.</li>
<li>ik heb <a title="Bad Romance" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65eBGYvcBTw">Bad Romance</a> van Lady Gaga in m&#8217;n hoofd. Jij nu ook!</li>
<li>morgen verwacht ik nog meer binnenkomende cadeaus! Wieeej, post is leuk!</li>
<li>ik heb een heel lief vriendje!</li>
</ul>
<p>Minder blije dingen:</p>
<ul>
<li>onze centrale verwarming is kapot. Ik zit hier, ondanks een fleecejack, te vernikkelen, want het is maar 14 graden in huis.</li>
<li>we hebben dan wel een houtkachel, maar het hout is bijna op.</li>
<li>ik heb zonet de demo van Machinarium uitgespeeld ):</li>
<li>ik heb <a title="Bad Romance" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65eBGYvcBTw">Bad Romance</a> van Lady Gaga in m&#8217;n hoofd. Jij nu ook!</li>

<description><![CDATA[Mit dem sechsten Teil der Artikelserie nähert sich das Projekt Modell 1134680 nun in großen Schritte]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img title="wamala_logo" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala_logo1.jpg" alt="wamala_logo" width="655" height="163" /></p>
<p>Mit dem sechsten Teil der Artikelserie nähert sich das Projekt Modell 1134680 nun in großen Schritten der Vollendung. Auch wenn es auf den ersten Blick so scheint, als gäbe es nur noch wenig zu tun, haben die letzten Schritte nocheinmal ein halbes Wochenende gekostet.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>In Teil 5 wurde ja in 1. Linie der obere Teil der Lampe mit der Niedervoltverdrahtung erklärt, in Teil 6 soll es nun um die untere Schale gehen. Dort ist der Treiber der LED untergebracht und daher befindet sich dort auch die 230V Zuleitung.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1387" title="WAMALA6_unterteil1" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_unterteil1.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_unterteil1" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p>Hier ist die noch unbearbeitet Unterschale zu sehen. Um die KSQ hier zu montieren hätte es eigentlich keiner weiteren und umfangreichen Umbaumaßnahmen bedurft. &#8220;Irgendwie&#8221; hätte man das Teil dort in jedem Fall anflanschen können, im Zweifelsfall mit Siemens Luftankern oder Ducttape. Das Zentrum des Reflektors, das die Schale später mal nach oben abschließen soll, war für meine Begriffe noch etwas langweilig. Die glatte Fläche dort auf der Oberseite, dort wo das Aluminiumblech gespannt worden war, lechzte geradezu nach irgendeinem kleinen Gimmick. Da ich auch kein großer Freund von Inline-Schaltern irgendwo im Kabel bin, war klar : Hier muss ein Schalter hin. Die Restekiste verbarg leider keine passenden Teile mehr. Um die Symetrie nicht zu gefährden, musste es natürlich auch ein möglichst flach bauender Druckschalter sein. Sowas für 230V aufzutreiben war gar nicht so einfach. Beim kleinen P konnte man dann aber noch ein paar Inline-Lampenschalter auftreiben. Qualitativ und haptisch bewegt sich das ganze natürlich weit unter ALPS-Standard, aber was flacheres war irgendwie nicht zu bekommen.</p>
<p>Gemessen habe ich natürlich nicht, grobes Augenmaß musste reichen und so kam es, wie es kommen musste, immer noch zu hoch alles. Ohne komplizierte Hebelkonstruktionen musste der Schalter in jedem Fall irgendwie noch auf der KSQ montiert werden, im Zentrum des Reflektors. Auf dem obigen Bild sollte man die alte Fassung für das Motorlager noch gut erkennen. Die Erhebung in der Mitte der Unterschale, dort wo mal das festgerostete Kugellager sass. Dort verbargen sich noch 2 wertvolle Zentimeter.</p>
<p>Also schnell rauf auf die Drehe das Teil&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1388" title="WAMALA6_unterteil2" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_unterteil2.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_unterteil2" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>und den Krams abgedreht.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1390" title="WAMALA6_unterteil3" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_unterteil3.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_unterteil3" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1389" title="WAMALA6_unterteil4" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_unterteil4.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_unterteil4" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1391" title="WAMALA6_boden" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_boden.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_boden" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Das entstandene Loch in der Mitte wurde dann auch gleich wieder mit einem Alublech verschlossen. Modern wie wir sind, wurde alles geklebt. Die 2-Komponenten-Epoxyharz-Kleber der &#8220;Fest&#8221;-Reihe von Uhu eignen sich vortrefflich für so etwas. Habe bisher sowohl Endfest als auch Schnellfest verwendet und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden damit. Im gleichen Zug mussten dann auch die Ecken des KSQ-Gehäuses weichen. Die Orginalbohrlöcher waren in meinen Plänen nicht weiter wichtig und ohne etwas trimming hätte die KSQ auch nicht gepasst.</p>
<p>Die Kabeldurchführung sollte dem Industrie-thema ebenfalls angemessen sein&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1392" title="WAMALA6_blende1" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_blende1.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_blende1" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Wegen die Sicherheit &#8230; wurden dann auch noch Alubleche gebogen,welche die Schlitze in der Unterschale verschließen. Es wäre ja schade wenn unbedarfte Finger da mal hinei&#8217;lange und sich nen derben Schlag holen würden. Das sollte zwar bei ordentlicher Verkabelung schon nicht passieren, aber man weiß ja nie, der Teufel ist schließlich ein Eichhörnchen! Die Bleche haben auch noch den schönen Nebeneffekt, dass so auch keine Blicke auf die eher hässliche Netzteilgeschichte da unten werden können.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1393" title="WAMALA6_blende2" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_blende2.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_blende2" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Die Bleche sollen nur gegen unbefugten Zugriff schützen, ein wenig Frischluftzufuhr ist durch die schmalen Schlitze weiterhin gegeben.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1394" title="WAMALA6_ksqklemme" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_ksqklemme.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_ksqklemme" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Befestigt wird die KSQ zukünftig mit dieser Halterung. Die Rohre sind einen Tick kürzer als die KSQ hoch ist und wenn die Schrauben einmal angezogen sind, bewegt sich da garnichts mehr.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1395" title="WAMALA6_zugent1" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_zugent1.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_zugent1" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p>Mit einem kleinen Stück Polystyrol lässt sich mit wenig Aufwand eine Zugentlastung fürdie 230V Zuleitung bauen.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1396" title="WAMALA6_masse" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_masse.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_masse" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p>Die Zugentlastung befindet sich auf dem Bild oben rechts, bereits am Kabel montiert. Das seltsame Kupferblech auf der Trägerplatte für den Schalter muss noch auf eine der 3 Schrauben montiert werden. Die hochgebogenen Ecken sollen verhindern, dass sich das Erdungskabel versehentlich löst.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1397" title="WAMALA6_knopf1" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_knopf1.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_knopf1" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Was noch fehlte war ein passender Knopf zu der ganzen Geschichte. Meinen ersten Versuch, hier im Bild, habe ich etwas entnervt aufgebeben. Alu in den Dimensionen lässt sich nicht mehr gut händisch drehen und es dauert einfach eeeeewig, bis man einen vernünftiges Resultat in den Händen hält.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1398" title="WAMALA6_knopf2" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_knopf2.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_knopf2" width="655" height="499" /></p>
<p>Also das ganze schnell in CAD skizziert und an ähem &#8220;externe&#8221; Dienstleister outgesourced ^^.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1399" title="WAMALA6_knopf3" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_knopf3.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_knopf3" width="655" height="499" /></p>
<p>Die Farben haben nichts zu sagen, rot ist die bewegliche Kontaktfläche, grau der Zierring drumherum. Beides wird aus Alu gedreht &#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1400" title="WAMALA6_knopf4" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_knopf4.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_knopf4" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1401" title="WAMALA6_knopf5" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_knopf5.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_knopf5" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>So soll es dann irgendwann mal aussehen. Die 3 Stützen lassen genug Raum, um den Schalter von allen Seiten einfach erreichen zu können.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1402" title="WAMALA6_schalter" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala6_schalter.jpg" alt="WAMALA6_schalter" width="655" height="436" /></p>
<p>Zum Abschluss des ganzen dann noch ein Bild des Schalters inklusive der Verkabelung. Schalter, Ring und Tastfläche wurden auch mit 2k Kleber fixiert. Sieht vieleicht nicht so schön aus, ist aber schnell und einfach zu bewerkstelligen&#8230;</p>
<p>Achja, die Lampe ist damit fertig <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  . Also so wirklich und ohne Aussicht, sich noch einmal in irgendwelchem &#8220;Kleinkram&#8221; festzubeißen. Insgesamt hat sich der Bau fast über 2 Monate sporadischer Arbeit hingezogen, Bilder von dem fertigen Kunstwerk gibt es dann im Laufe der nächsten Tage. Die Finalbilder sollen noch mit einer ordentlichen Kamera gemacht werden und nicht nur mit meiner ollen Knipse.</p>

<p>Mwuh.</p>
<p>Ik voel me ziekig ): Ik stond vanochtend met hoofdpijn op en zoals ik al verwachtte, is het nog steeds niet over. Vorige week vrijdag voelde ik me ook al zo. Ik heb eigenlijk gewoon zin om op bed te gaan liggen en te gaan slapen tot morgenochtend, maar dat kan niet. Ik wil nog New York cheesecake maken, ik moet nog <em>heel</em> veel doen om m&#8217;n dossier af te maken, ik moet nog pizza halen, paardrijden, opruimen, stofzuigen, blah.</p>
<p>Daarom ga ik nu een paracetamol halen, thee zetten, m&#8217;n USB-stick zoeken en vol goede moed beginnen te werken aan m&#8217;n literatuurverslag. En niet teveel denken aan m&#8217;n moeder en tante Rinske die in Leeuwarden al pepernoten etend films van het Filmfestival aan het kijken zijn.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ok so, I&#8217;m probably just being paranoid, but here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m feeling right now:</p>
<ul>
<li>horrid headache.  Staring at computer all day isn&#8217;t helping (editing photos, etc). It&#8217;s pretty bad though</li>
<li>coughing.  When I cough, the after effect is really stingy, but then it goes away.  I swallow ok, just tastes mucusy, but oy does the cough hurt</li>
<li>Oh yeah, my headache is definitely making my teeth hurt</li>
<li>no appetite, YAY! However, I did have a DaqQuilfor breakfast and that usually takes my hunger away</li>
<li>It feels like I have hip dysplasia like a Labrador.  I can&#8217;t seem to get comfy on the couch.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m cold, but this isn&#8217;t totally unusual.</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you know what happens.  I&#8217;m SOL anyway if I get the oinky because I don&#8217;t have health insurance yet.  Stop gasping, corporate america, I know it&#8217;s shocking that yes I work full time but I don&#8217;t have health insurance.  Yes my company offers it, no I sure as hell can&#8217;t afford 400-500 bucks a month.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Paardrijden was overigens wel oké, we kregen voor de verandering wéér van iemand anders les, dit keer van Jacqueline. Ik heb besloten dat ik niet zo van de lesstijl van Jacqueline houd, hoewel ze verder wel aardig was. Ze kwam me &#8216;iets&#8217; te autoritair over. Je mag best zeggen dat ik iets fout doe; dat wanneer mijn paard bijvoorbeeld gewoon richting hoefslag loopt, het geen wijken is, want daar ben ik me ook echt wel van bewust. Maar zeg dan ook even hoe ik het eventueel tot écht wijken zou kunnen maken, als ik op een paard zit dat nog nauwelijks enig besef van wijken heeft. Dat aspect mis ik bij zowel invalster Jacqueline als bij Tania. Maar als het goed is, krijgen we binnenkort weer van Maaike les en zij prefereert net als ik het feedback systeem (: *heeft goede hoop*</p>
<p><em><strong>Peace.</strong></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Maybe I should go.  Maybe I should.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to.</p>
<p>I, seriously, egregiously, horribly, totally, and simply??&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;Don&#8217;t want to go.  I don&#8217;t want to go spend time with my child.  There.  I said it.  She hasn&#8217;t wanted to spend time with me for an extended period since she was, like, five?</p>
<p>And I certainly don&#8217;t want to sit in an airless and windowless room with Therapist Chick and Kelly there and with both of them poised to pounce on me like I imagine happening.  If that makes me an awful person , then so be it.  Fine.  I am an Awful Person.  Give me my space.</p>
<p>But no one, not Therapist Chick and certainly not Kelly herself, has asked ever ME! what I feel about this whole thing.  No one.  Ever.</p>
<p>Am I supposed to sit by and go, &#8220;oh&#8230;.I&#8217;m so sorry wasn&#8217;t perfect!&#8221;</p>
<p>Stupid little children running rehabs&#8230;.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;</p>
<p>I seem to have been left out of this entire equation.  While everyone is dashing madly around trying to &#8220;fix&#8221; Kelly, I don&#8217;t even warrant a phone call from her.  Nopers, she calls daddy every week, and yet not me.  Me.  The one who gave  birth to her on the toilet.  The one who just can&#8217;t figure out what the hell in going on.  The one who is slowly losing her mind over this.</p>
<p>I, apparently, am the idiot in this equation, and the one on the receiving end of the most venom, although I don&#8217;t deserve it, go figure.</p>
<p>And *that*?  I have no interest in</p>
<p>Because I am good enough, smart enough, and Dog-gone-it! People like me!</p>
<p>But still&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Got another call from K yesterday.  She has a six hour pass for Sunday.  I fussed again with the stupid little CSW who seriously irks me with her smugness and who again insisted that <em>family therapy </em>was necessary for me to take K out of the facility.  I begged to differ.  This thing has me so pissed I just can&#8217;t see straight right now.</p>
<p>She put K on the phone.  Again.  On speaker.  Nice.</p>
<p>Nothing good came of that, I can tell you.  The end result was K attempting to guilt me into coming out to &#8220;get her out of there!!!!!!&#8221;  Again.</p>
<p>But you know what?</p>
<p>She chose of her own volition (insisted even! and made up stories which I now know not to be true)&#8230;to go back to rehab.  She also has chosen to be less than communicative and more than manipulative in her dealings with me, Dad, and the staff there.  Trust me; Dad is on the same page as I am, and Joshua is too, and hey, even Bren is.</p>
<p>You see, there comes a point where I must begin to look out for myself because I daily fall further and further into the morass of all those defeating thoughts that were seriously ingrained in me for so many years.  Kelly simply repeats them to me.  Over and over.  And over.</p>
<p>I am working so hard to salvage the fact that I&#8217;m worth something.</p>
<p>I need some peace.  I&#8217;m done with her crap.</p>
<p>K is going to have figure out how <strong>not</strong> to alienate everyone who loves her.</p>
<p>Especially me.</p>
<p>Because you know what?  Although I will always, truly, completely, and from the bottom of my heart forever love her as I can do nothing else because she is my child?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t <em>like</em> her.  And I definitely can&#8217;t fathom spending an entire day with her right now.  She&#8230;scares me.  There, I said it: She Scares Me.  I am afraid of her, for so many reasons.  I  know that sounds harsh, but it is the truth.</p>
<p>So this is the way it is going to be: When she comes to me and tells me she loves me and will accept my love and my earnest attempts to help her and/or be close to her I will agree to &#8220;family therapy&#8221;.  The day she says she wants me &#8211; yes ME! &#8211; to drive to JC to pick her up and spend bunches of money on gas and whatnot so we can go do stuff together just us and go  get Taco Bell and maybe see a movie together, not just because she wants to vary her scenery?</p>
<p>I will go.</p>
<p>I will go with big giant shiny noisy bells on.</p>
<p>But not before then.  Not one single second before then.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t see that happening anytime soon.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Sehr geehrte Leser, mit diesem Artikel möchte die bekannten Pfade auf BJ verlassen und werde versuch]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img title="wamala_logo" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/wamala_logo1.jpg" alt="wamala_logo" width="655" height="163" /></p>
<p>Sehr geehrte Leser,</p>
<p>mit diesem Artikel möchte die bekannten Pfade auf BJ verlassen und werde versuchen alle Interessierten quasi live an der Entstehung eines meiner Projekte teilhaben zu lassen. Es wird zwar keine täglichen Updates wie in einem klassischen Worklog geben, es soll aber auch keine schlichte Zusammenfassung am Ende des Bauprozesses werden, wie sie bisher immer publiziert wurde.</p>
<p>Dieser erste Teil fasst praktisch die Geschehnisse seit Beginn des Jahres zusammen. Die ersten Versuche mit dem Gehäuse und dem Reflektor wurden bereits im Februar/März gemacht, da war ich jedoch nur kurz auf Heimaturlaub und konnte keine großartigen Dinge stemmen. In den zwei Wochen gab es noch genug anderen Kram zu erledigen.</p>
<p>Nun jedoch zur Auflösung des Teaserrätsels. Das seltsame Alugussgehäuse ist ein altes Motorengehäuse von einem Miele Waschmaschinenmotor. Den starken Rostspuren am Lager nach zu urteilen ist das gute Stück irgendwann mal an einem Wasserschaden zum Opfer gefallen. Das Teil lag wochenlang gut sichtbar in einem Bauschuttcontainer auf meinem Heimweg und lächelte mich freundlich an. Ein Wunder, dass nicht auch die üblichen Verdächtigen von der Schrottmafia gefallen an dem Ding gefunden haben. Irgendwann konnte ich dann nicht mehr widerstehen und hab das Motörchen mal gerettet, ohne auch nur den Hauch einer Ahnung zu haben, was ich denn damit mal machen soll/will.</p>
<p>Zu dem Gehäuse gehört natürlich auch noch ein Stator, der Rotor ist irgendwo im Lager verschütt gegangen.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1220" title="WAMALA1_Stator" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_stator.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_Stator" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>In alle Einzelteile zerpflückt lag der Motor so bestimmt 1-2 Jahre in meinem Fundus seltsamer Dinge, bis sich langsam eine Idee herausbildete, was man denn mit so einem Ding anstellen könnte. Auch wenn ich unzwischen für jeden Quadratmeter Wohnfläche meines Zimmers (is ja nich groß <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   ein eigenes Lämpchen habe, (statistisch gesehen) kann eine mehr ja nicht schaden.</p>
<p>Damit war die grobe Fahrtrichtung vorgegeben, als Lichtquelle kam natürlich nichts anderes als LEDs in Frage. Zu meiner großen Freude passen die bekannten 700mA Konstantstromquellen für 230V fast perfekt in das Gehäuse.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1221" title="WAMALA1_KSQ" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_ksq1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_KSQ" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Das Orginalbild musste leider etwas mit Photoshop verunstaltet werden. Ohne Bearbeitung wäre zumindest der spätere Verwendungszweck sehr schnell durch den Kennerblick entlarvt worden.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1222" title="WAMALA1_case" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_case1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_case" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p>Das Konzept hinter dem ganzen ist eigentlich sehr einfach und es gibt daher auch keine Zeichnungen oder Renderbilder, die einen Eindruck davon vermitteln könnten wie es am Ende mal aussehen soll.  Der Stator befand sich ursprünglich eingeklemmt zwischen den beiden Gehäusehälften und wurde mit drei langen Schrauben verspannt. Im Prinzip sollte es bei dieser Anordnung bleiben. Der Stator flog natürlich raus, an seine Stelle sollten die wie auch immr angeordneten LEDs treten, bzw. eine Streu oder Reflektionsfläche. Auf jeden Fall musste der Stator raus, schweres Mistteil, altes!</p>
<p>In der Planungsphase war noch nicht so recht klar ob sich die Hülle eher für eine Steh-, Tisch- oder Deckenlampe eignen würde. An dem großen &#8220;Ohr&#8221; hätte man sie auch auch gut waagerecht irgendwo festsschrauben können. Zusammengestaucht wie auf dem Bild oben, hätte ich sie mir auch unter Umständen an der Decke vorstellen können. Letztendlich ist es dann doch eine Tischlampe geworden. Die 3 kleinen Füßchen mit denen der Motor vermutlich einmal am Gehäuse befestigt war, eigneten sich ideal als Standfüsse. In der Beziehung gab es eigentlich nicht viel mehr zu tun. Die Idee einen kompletten Arm für die Lampe zu entwerfen und zu bauen hat mich zusätzlich abgeschreckt. Für eine Deckenlampe war mir das Ding dann auch irgendwie zu klein. An der Decke ist Platz, da darf es (muss es eigentlich sogar) etwas ausladender sein. Viel größer als ein Feuermelder wäre es ja garnet geworden. In der Tischvariante konnten auch die Alu-Gussteile die von mir angedachte zentrale Rolle behalten.</p>
<p>Da nun das grobe Konzept stand, kam die Frage nach der Positionierung der Lichtquellen auf. Auf der Unterschale hätten die LEDs vermutlich zu stark geblendet, blieb nur die obere Hälfte der Konstruktion. Um eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung zu erreichen wurde schon von Anfang an eine Kombination aus Streuscheibe und Reflektor ins Auge gefasst.</p>
<p>Im ersten Schritt sollte daher ein Reflektor gefertigt werden. Alu bietet sich da natürlich als Material an und die Streuscheibe sollte später einfach über diesen tiefgezogen werden. Die einfachste Methode eine Stück Blech in eine 3 dimensionale Form zu bringen erschien mir das schon mehrfach angewandte Treiben.</p>
<p>Gesagt getan &#8230;.</p>
<p>Schritt 1: Anreißen&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1223" title="WAMALA1_Blech" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_blech1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_Blech" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Schritt 2: Ausschneiden und passend feilen</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1224" title="WAMALA1_blechrund" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_blechrund1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_blechrund" width="655" height="873" /></p>
<p>Das Aluminium unbekannter Legierung hat eine dicke von 1,5mm. So viel Material ist meiner Meinung nach nötig, um später eine gleichmäßige und glatte Oberfläche herausschleifen zu können.</p>
<p>Schritt 3: Klopfen</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1226" title="WAMALA1_grobe form" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_grobe-form1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_grobe form" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Wie bitter nötig die Schleiferei werden könnte kan man hier schon sehr gut ablesen. Die Form sollte in etwa der eines perfekten Vulkankegels entsprechen. Es führte für mich daher kein weg daran vorbei das blech auf der späteren Außenseite zu berabeiten. Das ganze stellte sich jedoch als erschreckend schwierig heraus. Da sich der Kegel (wie es nunmal so in seiner Art liegt) nach oben verjüngt muss Material auch wieder gestaucht werden, was deutlich schwieriger ist als treiben. Der geringe Durchmesser tat sein übriges &#8230;</p>
<p>Schritt 4: Noch mehr klopfen</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1227" title="WAMALA1_final" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_final1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_final" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Nach einigen Stunden entnervender Klopperei ließ sich dem Blech dann doch noch eine halbwegs adäquate form entlocken. Auf dem Reflektor lassen sich schon ein paar Hiebe der Feile erkennen. Die Oberfläche zu glätten sollte noch einmal soviel Zeit kosten, wie das Herausarbeiten der endgültigen Form.</p>
<p>Schritt 5: Feilen und schleifen</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1228" title="WAMALA1_finish" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_finish1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_finish" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Ein paar kleine Macken sind geblieben, aber es war trotzdem geplant den Reflektor nur noch etwas sauberer zu schleifen und dann so zu verwenden.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1229" title="WAMALA1_reflektor" src="http://botchjob.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wamala1_reflektor1.jpg" alt="WAMALA1_reflektor" width="655" height="491" /></p>
<p>Mit diesem Bild möchte ich mich ersteinmal verabschieden und hoffe, dass das grobe Konzept der Lampe in den Köpfen der Mitleser an Kontur gewinnt.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Phone rings. Kelly has a three hour pass this weekend and I can go out there and take her to Taco Be]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Phone rings.  Kelly has a three hour pass this weekend and I can go out there and take her to Taco Bell, or the library, or whatever the hell there IS to do out in Jeff City, capital of Missouri (not much).</p>
<p>Sure, I say!  Sounds awesome.  What time should I be there?</p>
<p>Oh, around noon, they say.  Then we&#8217;ll do your family therapy around three.</p>
<p>Oh hell, no, I say.  Ain&#8217;t gonna happen.  I would rather be <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1216905/Teenager-dies-swarms-bees-escape-hives-crash.html">trapped in a van full of angry bees </a>than stuck in a room with K and her father and a &#8220;therapist&#8221;.  I use that term lightly because most folks there are all just just working towards their 3000 hours for licensure &#8212; that&#8217;s right folks&#8230;these are barely out of school 20-something kids (well, to *me* they are kids) and I have no intention whatsoever of being stuck in a windowless, airless room only to be attacked by both K *and* her dad because, you know&#8230;it&#8217;s always the mom who does everything wrong, right?</p>
<p>Oh hell no, I say again!  I think not.</p>
<p>Ain&#8217;t gonna happen.  No way, no how.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the rules, they say. The Rules.</p>
<p>Hmmh.</p>
<p>Ok kids let me remind you that K is not there under mandatory referral and I could conceivably go there tomorrow and bring her home (which I&#8217;m not going to do, but I could).  So why in the HELL should I jump through your hoops to come to visit her, and make what should be an enjoyable outing potentially turn into something stressful, to say the least?  Aren&#8217;t *I* the one paying *you* to look after my daughter?  Am *I* not her mother?  And *you* are&#8230;simply, not?</p>
<p>I hear Little Unlicensed Therapist Girl on the other line gasp audibly, catch her breath, and repeat like a robot &#8211; &#8220;But it&#8217;s the rules.&#8221;  <em>Nice automaton, go get your treat now honey.</em></p>
<p>Sorry, folks, I say, not gonna happen in this time zone.</p>
<p>I continue.  Apparently you people are not used to dealing with intelligent parents and are also accustomed to working with folks who are more than willing to listen to your every uneducated word like blind sheep who never question what you do.</p>
<p>*I*?  For the record?  Am not one of those particular sheeple.  And having already been through this process before, unfortunately, I definitely know how the whole thing works&#8230;and it doesn&#8217;t work well at all.</p>
<p>Then I ask when K is going to get her psych eval, since we have really never gotten a real diagnosis, and her meds really, really, REALLY need some tweaking and/or monitoring.</p>
<p>And the answer: I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>Meh.  Geez, folks, isn&#8217;t that one of the ba-zillionth reasons she is there in the first place, eh?</p>
<p>Then Therapist Girl has the audacity to do the manipulative thing by putting K on the phone to beg me to come out there, because K has been sitting there the whole time during the call.  How&#8230;professional.  I inform her that K hasn&#8217;t lifted a finger to write to me nor call me since she has been there so why should I put myself out one iota?  It&#8217;s par for the course, I tell them.  Typical.  Her <em>modus operandus.</em></p>
<p>Now K is adament that she <em>needs</em>!<strong> </strong>me to come visit.  She starts the whole conversation off with &#8220;Mommmeeee?????&#8221;&#8230;which she only ever does when she wants something&#8230;like eye liner or tampons or nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>She goes on to tell me she wants to &#8220;get away&#8221; and &#8220;go somewhere&#8221;.   Notice it&#8217;s NOT because she particularly wants to see either me or dad or anyone else.  Nopers.  It&#8217;s because she wants to <em>&#8220;get out of there&#8221;.</em>..the place all of us are now convinced she made up entire stories about using again just so she could go back and avoid high school for bit longer.  The place she chose to go to.  Even her friends don&#8217;t believe she was using again, and that says a lot &#8211; they are as equally flabbergasted as are we.</p>
<p>She hangs up on me when I ask her straightforward what good she feels would come of &#8220;family therapy&#8221; &#8211; because I really want to know &#8211; just at the point when I am sincerely considering consenting to it if I can just. get.an.answer from her.</p>
<p>I got a dial tone instead.  So much for that.</p>
<p>This is where we are now. At least Hawk and I and Joshua are united in this, which an amazing and a wonderful thing. &#8221; Family therapy&#8221; would definitely do more harm than good.  There is no point in opening up old wounds and pointing fingers and yadda yadda.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good to know we are presenting an united front on this whole mess.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I will enjoy the peace and quiet.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Straße. Schnelle Autos in die eine Richtung. Schnelle Autos in die andere Richtung. Gerade. Noch schnelleres Auto neben schnellem Auto aus der einen Richtung. Kurve. Schnelle Autos aus der anderen Richtung. Wumm!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Für kurze Zeit keine schnellen Autos mehr in der Kurve. Stehende Autos in beide Richtungen.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Viele schnelle Autos und viele noch schnellere Autos anderswo. Viele Geraden. Viele Kurven. Viele noch schnellere Autos neben schnellen Autos. Wumm! Wumm! Wumm!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>1) Got up, showered and got ready for the day.</p>
<p>2) Went to town because I had to get a freakin&#8217; payday loan just for the gas to get K to JC today.</p>
<p>3) Stopped in Wentzville to get K her some blinkin&#8217; BLACK eyeliner from Walgreen&#8217;s because BROWN would just NOT DO!, damn it to hell.</p>
<p>4) Got and ate Taco Bell.  &#8216;Nuff said.</p>
<p>5) Drove to JC and dropped my daughter to rehab for the second time.  And I</p>
<div id="attachment_2599" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2599" title="rehabbedroom" src="http://analogmoon.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/rehabbedroom1.jpg?w=300" alt="ok it doesn't look quite like this but similar and there's only two beds in her room" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">ok it doesn&#39;t look quite like this but similar and there&#39;s only two beds in her room</p></div>
<p>still don&#8217;t quite know why.  Color me Perplexed.  I think it might be a shade of Purple, but I&#8217;m not really sure.</p>
<p>6) Started to drive home and got a call from J that our water is turned off.  Because we didn&#8217;t have enough money to pay the bill.  Yay.  Like I didn&#8217;t know that.  And WHY are you calling me to tell me that when you KNOW I have just left JC and tucked K into her new digs?  Dude.  It could have waited.  Really.  It could have waited.  I&#8217;m jes&#8217; sayin&#8217;.  I didn&#8217;t need that extra stress at that particular juncture in time.</p>
<p>6) Picked up J from Hawk&#8217;s&#8230;because Hawk was kind enough to stop by after work and take J up to his house so J could get a shower after working all day in a hot kitchen.</p>
<p>7) Got to see my Bubby (aka &#8220;Bren&#8221;), sleepy as hell, but oh so sweet. He asked about his sissy.  Told him she was gonna be fine.  Not so sure about that, but there ya go.</p>
<p>8 ) Went to IGA to finally get some dog/cat food, and litter.</p>
<p>9) Found out doggie seriously hurt herself trying to escape under the fence.  Must get doggie to vet tomorrow!</p>
<p>Gee golly, I&#8217;m tired.</p>
<p>Imagine that.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tomorrow I take K back to rehab.  This time, amazingly, of her own volition.  And I don&#8217;t know quite *what* to think.</p>
<p>I think she&#8217;s playing a game.</p>
<p>I think she wants to go back where she perceived it to be safe.</p>
<p>I thinks she just wants to get outta *here*.  Why?  I don&#8217;t know.  Apparently this isn&#8217;t her idea of a Perfect World; guess what, sweetheart, it ain&#8217;t The Perfect World for me either, but it&#8217;s the best we got.  Goddess forbid you have all your needs met, food in the fridge, people who love you, and a safe place to live.</p>
<p>Dear heavens, WHAT was I thinking??!!??</p>
<p>If I could fix every single wrong that ever happened to her in her entire life, I would.  But I can&#8217;t.  Because although I may be a Goddess-in-Training, I am pretty sure I don&#8217;t have that ability.  Wish I did.  But I don&#8217;t.  I just wear human skin and screw up just like everyone else does.  Apparently I am magnaminously good at that.</p>
<p>::sigh::</p>
<p>She won&#8217;t be going back to where she was before.  No, this time it will be within the same group center, but in a different location.  Closer, now.  And I won&#8217;t have the excuse of &#8220;it&#8217;s too damn far to go and visit&#8221; to get me out of going to see her.  But I don&#8217;t want to go.  I do not relish the idea of sitting in a group session or a therapist&#8217;s office for the joy of getting to hear how I am not a perfect mom.  How I effed up over the years (ya think?).  How her Daddy is awesome and I am not.  How I will never live up to her expectations.  How I am&#8230;</p>
<p>Not Perfect.</p>
<p>She plays a cruel game, this girl.  She is cunning and smart and not at all the kind of girl who needs or really wants to be doing drugs.  I think she is really and truly afraid, and bouncing up against the walls trying to find a way out of the corner she has painted herself into.</p>
<p>But I have no intention of playing *that* game.</p>
<p>So I am calling her bluff.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2583" title="yeaaaahhh" src="http://analogmoon.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/yeaaaahhh.jpg?w=225" alt="yeaaaahhh" width="225" height="313" /></p>
<p>I will take her there and hug her and kiss her and then?  I will simply drive away.</p>
<p>And I can&#8217;t say I will be sad.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t promise I will shed any tears about it, unlike last time where I sat in the car for at least a half hour and sobbed my guts out before I was able to drive the freakin&#8217; four hours home.</p>
<p>Right now?  I don&#8217;t know.  I just don&#8217;t know.  I am&#8230; numb.  I don&#8217;t really know *what* to think.</p>
<p>I heard it&#8217;s supposed to rain tomorrow.</p>
<p>Hmmmph.  Imagine that.</p>
