Good Guy Jason

I could just spend the day in bed but I won't.  Got to get my butt out the door and get my walking in for the morning.  Maybe mom will be up for going to the thrift store we passed yesterday. She said it doesn't have to be today.  Well maybe today is a good day to go. I felt bad she felt rejected by Honey Bear.  I know Precious was her chair buddy before she passed.  She was my work mate too.  She would park herself on the trunk next to my desk and take her afternoon nap.  It gets lonely looking over that stand and not see her there. Honey Bear is taking time.  She's not going anywhere.  It's just this whole adjustment phase for her.  She did spend a lot of time in my mom's room initially and I think my mom got hurt that she moved over to the dining room recliner or my room.  She wanted her to bond with me.  I think she just missed her coming to bed next to her every night. I said she definitely doesn't sleep with me.  Doe...

Find me at Metro Market

Don't tell Lois I'll be in her old neighborhood this morning.  I figured since I wouldn't be far from there after my walk, I'd venture in and see their ice cream sandwich selections.  Mom is sending me on a mission since my nephew will be here next weekend to ply him with all the junk food he likes.  I'm ok with that and I think he will be too. I don't know if I'll get any stamps today since my budget is low until Wednesday.  Sigh.  Didn't win the lottery on Thursday.  Would have been nice if I got enough for more stamps.  Oh well.  I'll be ok.   I told my mom last night it was hard writing some of these letters because you're sharing your personal story and I'd think wow.  My life kind of sucks.  It doesn't.  It's struggling that sucks.   For anyone that thinks I need to be around people in the daytime, you can go jump in the lake or get your head examined.  I was a little upset that I got a terse email fro...

Showing Grace

Kind of wish some people weren't online.  Not even talking about the diva today either.  I mean, I wouldn't be sad but my day ended with a Are you kidding me? kind of message.  I can't stand it when people use exclamation points.  It wasn't directed at me, but I know if it was in person, it would feel like it and it would tick me off.  The one who makes my eye twitch?  You guessed it.  I'll admit.  This person shows me a lot of praise when things are well but they have their moments that just make me want to leave the room for about an hour.  Whatever. I worked up the courage to make an appointment to see a new doctor next month, well, actually nurse practitioner.  I thought of it originally and then wondered if maybe I should go with a doctor considering my history.  It's fine by me after reading reviews of other professionals.  No way.  I realized the one I was looking at didn't have that little "taking new patients" lin...

A Little Sun

No kidding on sun making you feel better.  I was in a lousy mood when I signed off last night. I couldn't walk after work.  I was happy to hang with Honey Bear though.  The day was just dreary and annoying.  Wednesday was more manageable with it misting.  One day?  Ok.  Two days?  Sigh.  I know we need it.  Just really happy to see the sun this morning.  Don't care what the temp is. I can go for a walk at lunch and later tonight.  Amazing how getting out and moving does a lot for your mood.  Yeah, yeah, I know I've cried on my walks.  Still moving.  It's ok to get my emotions out when I'm on the go.  Unless I'm standing in a grocery store and people are watching. I am hoping that there's a little more for me to do.   I've gotten some of the tougher things done this week.  Still more to go, unfortunately.  I think when there's a lull, it makes the days longer. I've been writing letters for...

Slow week

I shouldn't complain in some respects because I am getting through things that I might have rushed through.  Two of the people who give me the majority of my work are occupied this week with something bigger.  I know once they're both back in full force, it's game on for keeping up.  It's fine.  I just got another message yesterday that involved an angry exclamation point that made me tired.  I try. I discovered the diva has an issue with someone else other than me.  I was kind of relieved when I found out what her questioning was about.  I know, she has issues with people?  Color me shocked.  I get the comment that was made about being receptive to feedback.  It all makes sense and no, the diva is not receptive to feedback.  She'll snap back at you. I do feel a little out of sorts.  Since late August, I've been back on the struggle bus with money with my big payment for my creditors.  Not anyone's fault other than my own....

Don't know where to begin

 There's a lot I can say about yesterday.  I'm too tired to go into the details or provide an explanation. I'm tired of women wanting to take each other down and then playing the innocent victims when someone stands up to them. I'll never trust another person in my group about anything personal because it's blown up in my face and used against me. If people don't think I can see what they're up to when they're typing messages during a meeting and I can see someone else's reaction, they're out of their flipping mind.  Yeah.  Diva and Regina.   I did say something about people needing to speak to each other and call. There's too much hiding behind screens.   I'm tired of the keyboard bullies.

Yeah, I want to punch someone

 No, I would never do that.  Just a feeling.  A feeling that keeps me warm and fuzzy and pissed off.  Sigh. I thought my day was going along too well and then the diva struck with her question.  About a year ago, we stopped doing these corrections for each other because it was causing resentment towards each other.  Now the diva is playing dumb and wants to know if we can do them again.  We'll be having a conversation.  I kind of suspect maybe it's me she's targeting but we have had others helping.  She just can't help herself and if that does happen, well, I got one waiting for her that I already caught.   Other than that, things were better than I expected.  We had a couple of days last week where there were presentations going on, so I had hoped that maybe that made things less chaotic. Worried about my mom. I asked her if I was annoying her because she seemed irritated when I brought in Honey Bear.  Actually her face l...
