"Gisted" Translation

Recently, a friend of mine directed me to a website that does a "free translation" for you. For example: I wanted to translate "I know spanish, I just like to act like I don't to confuse you" from english to spanish. You type it in, and get your translation (I got my 'fluent in spanish' cousin to translate it for me first, before I knew about this site). After being directed to this site, I decided to translate some things. I typed in "I am Lonely" and I got "Estoy solitario". Now, I know enough spanish to get by, or know when someone is talking about me, and what I got from this translation was "I am solitary" or "alone".... Not "LONELY"... I felt insulted at first that the miracle translating website was using the word "solitary" in some rude way to make me, once again, doubt my current relationship status.

When I think of the word "solitary" I think of "solitary confinement", which would mean "the confinement of a prisoner in a cell or other place in which he or she is completely isolated from others". I said LONELY people! Not COMPLETELY alone! After getting somewhat oddly frustrated with my "free translation", I read the small print. Apparently, this was just a "Gisted Translation" providing a "basic understanding of the original text". So, "Basically" I am "solitary". haha.. I remain somewhat disturbed by my lonely translation..

Moving on.....I almost died yesterday morning. There I was, 6 in the morning, walking down my stairs with 2 dogs, and I slipped, or tripped or some way lost my balance and down I went. Granted, I caught myself after only a few steps. But, not before twisting my ankle, and bruising my shin and arm. The whole right side of my body continues to ache. Lovely way to start your day, is it not? Not to mention the fact that I have been having a weird, 'one side of my head' ache, episode that keeps coming back. It first awakened me from a dead sleep on Sat night, after which I had to go and sleep on the couch. Because, sitting up was the only way it would ease up a little bit. Sunday was ok, with no major headache episodes to record. However, yesterday on my way home it happened again. I was sitting there, in traffic, in the rain, and all of a sudden major pain in the left side of my head/face, somewhat like sinus pressure. After almost an hour of "self massage" it went away. But for a few minutes there I felt like I was going to puke from the pain, and was almost tempted to pull over. Which would have done me no good, considering it was rush hour traffic, and pouring down rain....

I made it home, and survived.. and I have felt better since. Now I am going to go fix me somethign to eat for "lunch"....
