Sick and Twisted

It saddens me what happened to that poor boy, Camden Pierce Hughes. Overdosed on cold medicine? Wrapped in a blanket under a tree? Seems pretty damn suspicious. There may be many different views on what they feel should happen to the mother who caused this atrocious act. I am personally more for driving the woman more insane and locking her in a small lit box full of that boys photos till she claws her own face off. Angry? You bet I am.

It’s Friday

Snow is coming down outside the window. While the flakes looks relatively small, there are an excessive amount of them raining down from the sky. We’re expected anywhere from 8-14 inches which includes the accumulation that started yesterday evening. I honestly woke up about an hour ago.

Last night, I took some day time cold and sinus along with a Benadryl before bed. It’s a bit strange. I was felt okay, but tired, then was given antibiotics to clear up an infection and I lost my voice and all the stuff just loosened up in my upper respiratory. After I was finished with said medicine, I had one day where I felt okay. Now my nose is extremely congested again. I’m wondering if maybe that dose was not enough to completely rid myself of the infection, or I have another cold yet again. I would like to get it all over with. My big complaints are waking up every night due to coughing and an itchy throat along with my nose completely plugging up so I can’t breathe. It’s a bit freaky when you wake up gasping for air… I unfortunately tend to be a jaw-clincher when I sleep. So my mouth is usually shut tight.

Today should be a relatively fine day to get some spring cleaning done. I need to rearrange some things and dust everything. I’ve been a bit heavy with the lysol and I don’t intend to stop. I just want the germs to be gone. Besides, I can’t exactly go out to do the shopping right now anyway. I’d also like to clean out the fridge first. Kind of a strange post for a musician, huh? Daily life can seem somewhat dull from where I’m sitting.

I’ve been pondering over songs. Old ones as well as new ideas. I’ve been enjoying reconfiguring old songs, but find some hard to touch for fear of taking away the original meaning. I shouldn’t feel so bad about it though. The whole point is to improve. Which also reminds me, I need to purchase some new guitar strings.

Accounting 226

Take the beginning raw materials inventory and add the purchases of raw materials. This gives you the total raw materials available. Then you deduct the ending raw material inventory to get the raw materials that are used in production. Add to that direct labor and manufacturing overhead to get your total manufacturing costs. Add the beginning work in process inventory and deduct the ending work in process inventory. This will give you your Cost of Goods Manufactured or as I like to write it, COGM.

For some reason, I tend to screw this process up. I have a hard time remembering which order and it makes me angry. From there on we used the finished goods beginning inventory and add the COGM to get the goods available for sale. After which, we deduct the finished goods ending inventory to get the cost of goods sold or COGS. However, if you screw up the first part, like me, you screw up the remaining outcome.

The devils food cupcake are so yummy and delicious. I also added chocolate morsels to some for added effect. They are a chocolate lover’s dream!

Now I need to shower and sleep so I can take my exam in the morning. Let’s hope my nose isn’t runny so I don’t need to lug around a box of tissues. This sinus infection with bronchitis has been horrid. I also don’t like the dry skin that keeps forming around my nose. It’s just irritating. Okay, enough complaints, must get rest.

Why do you drive?

Yes, I would like to know. Why do you drive? Is it because places you enjoy visiting are not within walking distance? Does it add new meaning to your life as if you are more important with a driver’s license in hand? Is it the feeling of being in control that you long for when it seems like everything else in life is out of your hands?

I love to drive in the rain. Thunder and lightning only makes it better, especially at night. I like to imagine I am in an old black and white film as I pass under city street lights. I enjoy the sound of early jazz playing over the car stereo as it clashes or goes with the patter of rain on the hood of the car.

Seat belt tight, lights on, sitting back in the seat, no one else in the car and no place to go.

Just driving.
