At The Office?

     As days go, today was a decent one, had a 2 hour meeting this afternoon which was very helpful with the new system we gave. But I get ahead of myself. This morning I had just finished my tea and a very juicy plum (lol) when all of a sudden I hear clicking noises.  I look over to one of my cuz mates and he his clipping his fingernails. Okay, he is in his cubicle, but clipping his nails? Filing them okay, I think that's a bit more acceptable,  but clipping them? Is that odd?   So then about an hour later I smell nail polish. So I look over to another pod mate (there are 4 cubicles to a pod) and she is painting her nails.  Wow the smell of the polish was strong. I'm not a fan at the salon and one doesn't expect it at work. In an enclosed area.  So I shrug both of these off.  Now I ask you, am I overreacting that I think these are not things to do at work? I think the nail polish bugged me more. It really smelled strong.  Hey I do my nails, but I do them at home. I'm cautious to make sure my perfume is not too strong if it's a more intense scent. I am aware of my pod mates. Ah I guess it's just things in an office.  David Brent where are you? Lol
      Tonight was chill, neither of us was particularly hungry so dinner consisted of hummus,  pita and celery.  I love hummus, this one was garlic and man it was strong. No vampires around here tonight. Lol. I do love garlic though.
      Oh last night it was broiling in here peeps. For some reason the air condition wasn't making it up to the second floor. It's been very warm, no hot out but hubs did something and I'm actually chilly. But I love a cold room with clean sheets and a warm comforter. I sleep so well that way, and I want to get a good nights sleep as I'll be up late tomorrow and also on Saturday. Tomorrow is a blue moon. Second full moon in a month. Want to use the night to get ready for Saturday's working. There's energy in the air and no it's not just air. ;-) lol.
       So I'm going to sign off and wish you all a good night or good morning depending on where you are.   Ciao For Now

Unfinished

The days are passing quickly, each day it seems grows shorter so that the next one gets here quicker than before,
Soon you know it it will be Halloween, then Christmas, the earth cold and still. Waiting for the next year to show itself

Changes promised, many not come to fruition
lead to another year of hope
Hope for happiness and for closure. Another heartfelt promise is whispered
The changes felt but not shown, inside is where the action is

It's 8:45 AM

     Work will start soon and another swarm of angry employees will be calling for what ever they are calling in about. Usually they are angry because they forgot to do something and want me to fix it. LOL No lie  this happens often.  There are some really cool people too, you can never know whats going to be. I am just relaxing before I start. I got here about 8:15. I am one of those that hates being late so I get here early. We all have our morning rituals I suppose.
     I have been quiet these past few days, I'm finally feeling better and just getting ready for Lammas. Yes Miss Witch is preparing herself and her workings for the holiday that will be here on Saturday. Getting back into my beliefs more and, as in the past when I do this, good things happen. I have been practicing my Theban Script more. I used to be able to read and write in Theban as well as I could in English but I stopped. It was great as I could write things down and only one other person I knew would know what I was writing about.  My entire Book Of Shadows was In Theban. Unfortunately, that book was lost in my many moves from apartment to apartment years ago.
     I'm not going to lie, it's been very stressful. I know we all have our own shit and I am here if anyone of my friends needs me to be, but the fact that I am the only one working is getting to me. I had a bit of a melt down the other day and went off on hubs. I mean we have not had a full size fridge for a year. I can make do with that but the hot water that he fixed is acting up again and I think we will need a new hot water hater. The dryer dies ages ago and I hang my clothes outside to dry. This is really not an issue as I like the way the clothes smell when dried outside but the washer is going now as well. They are about 10 years old so Im not surprised.  I know I sound petty in the grans scheme of life but its just little things like that eat away at you. Not so much that I have to hang out clothes or limit my shopping or go more often as I can not but as many things as I want at one time. It's the mere fact that I have no money to get these things should I choose to.  It's the same old story and I know everyone is tried of hearing about it, believe me I'm tired of living it!!
      Speaking with my friend in Maine and we were invited up in the fall.  Hubs is agreeable to it and as she said its really a cheap vaca, of course I will want to take them out for dinner but all in all its a very laid back stay. They are family really and it's comfortable, and a beautiful area. I am looking forward to visiting.  It's funny, we had a go around on facebook where I told her to smile in a photo and she said no, I then said don't make me come up there and that's how this came to pass. Hubs hasn't been there in years.  Now I will say the rooms are on the third floor and the steps are steep but I think he will be okay. I usually make breakfast for all or at least get the coffee ready and my friend and I will make tag team brekky. Its fun. The idea of heading up there excites me, will be nice to get away with hubs.
     Will check back later peeps, until then ciao for now

Saturday Mellow, Sunday Shennanigins

    As it says, Saturday was chill, felt like I was getting a sore throat. It's going around work, oh joy. But by the evening I was fine. Tea and just basic cleaning then hanging out in the backyard for the afternoon helped. Basic cleaning consists of running a Hoover and dusting, cleaning kitchen counters.    It's just us two so it's not terrible, I do see a full kitchen floor scrub coming up soon.  My sis in law got a new kitchen floor. It's really nice and I'm thrilled for her. Personally I want a wood plank floor throughout my house and slate floor in the kitchen. I know I watch too much HGTV lmao. But doesn't that sound fab though? :-)
     So today (Sunday) we had a nice lie in. Slept until about 9, then had cuddles and kisses for sometime. Was nice and started the day in a good way ;-)  A nice cuppa and shower later we head off on adventure. I have never had a pasty, nope not ever. So my friend tells me there is a pasty store nearby. I look on yelp, great reviews, so let's do this. It's called The Pure Pasty Company. It's out in Vienna Va, so about half hour later we get there. So many choices, but let's go with traditional. We also got a sausage roll to split. Hey, they looked yummy.  Well my first pasty experience was delicious and filing. The inside was good, quite peppery. I did use some HP fruity sauce on mine which added a nice tang.  The sausage roll was very good. I'm not a sausage fan usually, she told me these are English bangers. So are they all that different. If so I much prefer the bangers over sausages.  So after we ate we went off on adventures. We headed around the area we were in, and found a great bakery making bread, with nice crusty tops. We did buy a loaf, it's all about moderation and well it was really well done. We got a raisin pecan sourdough. Hubs digs sourdough bread. So then we drove into DC. Went into Georgetown and went to the stairs they used in the Exorcist.  They are the narrowest, steepest stairs you may have ever seen. When you are not dealing with traffic, it's a nice drive along the C&O Canal. So all in all a nice day and hubs even cooked up some burgers for dinner so this gal didn't have to cook today. Actually I enjoy cooking. Lol.
     So another week starts, I'm ready. I trimmed all my nails down as one broke. No tears, they grow back. I'm not that much a princess.  So all, hope you had a great weekend and until next time, Ciao For Now.

Thought on a Friday

My friend on facebook posted this today

I think it's a great statement , a true one. My personal problem is this: I always have time for even those people who DON'T make time for me.  Eh, I always will it's who I am.  The crazy adorable me  LMAO
    It's been a crazy fucking day here, payroll went out late due to a computer issue and everyone and their cousin is calling in    ACK!!  To my overseas friends, have a fucking blast tomorrow (Saturday) and my home grown friends , make the most of the weekend.
Ciao For Now xx

Today Is Tuesday

     I don't want to discuss it! Nothing bad, I just hate one of our new systems, It's more confusing than ever!  We are getting access next week finally so we will then be able to proxy in and hoping this makes things better as e will not be flying blind so to speak
     I am in a good mood but I'm just feeling a bit out of sorts all day today. haven't eaten much as its not staying with me. Not sure why as I really don't feel sick, just that tummy issue again. I do think its my medication I am on now, its tearing up my stomach. I see the Dr. on Thursday so will let her know this.
     One more thing about the weekend, it really was nice spending time with my Dad, he's going to be 88, so more time with him the better. One thing really tugged at my heart strings. Sunday morning I was finishing up in the bathroom, brushing teeth, washing face etc., so I walk out down the hallway and I look into dads room and he's standing there, back to me. And he is combing his hair. No really, the one hair he has. Lol okay a little more than that but watching him for a few seconds, my heart melted. This man, was in the service, he does things methodically. So the action of combing his hair is his routine. I wondered if he imagines that full head of thick hair he used to had. It hit me, hard. He has seen decades go by, the simple act of doing tat combing, it was adorable, sweet, and I felt the love for this man. He has been there for me all my life. It's a joy to cook for him, do laundry and shopping for him. He never wanted anything, but he's still helping me. Love that little old guy.
     Oh it feels good to relax after work. Hubs made some tea, we're enjoying it now watching a rerun of Castle , just vegging before dinner really. TV is background. Lol
    Tonight I predict a warm bath, then crawling under nice clean sheets, hubs dd the laundry, bless (he's so good with that and I really appreciate it) and reading my next book. It takes place in England, it's a mystery called Under A Silent Moon, it's gotten decent reviews and a friend recommended it.  It's on my kindle. It was $5.00 and I also downloaded a bunch of free books that looked good. Summer reading sorted! :-D
    See ya all tomorrow, you can re-read my antics in my over the weekend blog  LOL  Ciao For Now

NYC For 4 Days Whoot Whoot

     So technically the 4th day was leaving and driving back to VA, but more on that later.  I left Thursday night, made glorious time. Got to Dad in about 4 hours 20 minutes. Very brief stop to wee, lol. Had our usual cup of tea, then I went upstairs. I'm not saying sleep as I didn't get to sleep until after 2. I never fall asleep right away, I need to decompress and chill for a bit. So I took my tea upstairs, put on my nightie ( it's Dad's house , that's a must do) and went online a little. Looked through my pagan websites and read a few cool articles. Some workings and spells ( no they don't contain eye of newt lol). Saw a cute picture I so can identify with. It said " I need to do a money attraction spell, but I can't afford the supplies". Hahaha trust me that's funny, and accurate. Hehe
So I got up Friday, made brekky for us and kissed dad bye for a few hours. I went out to the island. This means Long Island, anyone of its towns or beaches, for those unfamiliar with the phrase.  I ended up at the ocean. Not a big surprise really. I so miss it, where I live they have lots of lovely lakes but nothing like this. So I walked a little, feeling the sand push around my flip flops as I walked. Chatted with a guy who was walking his dog. Then I sat on the rocks, and closed my eyes. I sat that way for about 10 minutes, just listening to the water, the sound of the gulls and taking in deep breaths of that salty air. I opened my eyes and looked out. The best description would be that I felt renewed. I felt peaceful, my stress, for that moment, went away. Two ladies had walked near me and we're discussing the beach across the water wondering if it was Jones Beach. I told them it was and we then chatted for about a half hour.  We all walked back and I got in my car to get groceries.
     Picked up the stuff I needed to cook for dad. Made him spinach and bean soup, garlic and spices, it's yummy. I also made marinara sauce, and boiled some spaghetti. I froze these after I split them into meals. Leaving out one meal of each in the refrigerator for the next two nights. He has more in the freezer to thaw and eat when he wants.  
Was home with him Friday night, our neighbor came in and my dad was telling stories of when he was in the Navy. He was young, 18, so he starts this story about when he was in Oklahoma and worked on base. There were 3 women in the office, they all said Joe cute he was. He said they took him out one night, but then he stopped and told my neighbor, he can't tell the rest with me in the room.  Ooh boy , I cracked up, I said, Dad, did they make a man out of you. He just laughed. We dropped the subject but I now have a certain respect and a bit of a shudder about my dad. :-D
     Saturday, I was out with sis.  We had pizza and yum...NYC pizza, the best! So good then we went to Otto's out in Feeport to hear that band. They were outrageous, the guys were so good. Of course I think the bass player Larry was cute. I have a thing for bass, and drums too. But I tell you the guitarist Dave was stellar.  I was mesmerized watching his chord changes. At intermission he and the drummer Tom came and sat down. Dave did first and we were chatting then Tom joined. They talked shop about band issues which I politely distracted myself from. The Dave asked about my tattoos. They liked them and the birth asked what my kanji symbols meant. I told them it meant to believe in Japanese. Tom laughed and said if you go to a sushi bar just hold up your arm and point. Lol. I had such an amazing time, than you sis, as she treated me to the night out.  I even danced, yes sir, I danced.  A night for the record books
Well the next day, I felt it too. My leg was not happy with me, damn meds. So I did not go hear the other band. Sis said good thing, as the venue was packed in like sardines and it was extremely hot with no air circulation.   I will see them I'm sure at some point.  So I stayed close to home. Kept my leg up and then cleaned my room.  My neighbor and his wife came over so I colored her hair for her, then cooked dinner for me and dad.  I went out for a bit and brought home ice cream for dessert. It was so hot and he never buys it, although he loves it. So he and I shared a pint.  Not the way I usually have a pint with someone.  Lol. So I came home today and traffic was hell.  But I'm here. Had dinner and cuddled with hubs a little. He took my dirty laundry and washed it all for me. Very sweet thing to do.  So work tomorrow but short week for me again. Yay.  So until next time , ciao for now

Animals

     Ugh just read an article about animal shelters. So of course now I want to adopt a gajillion dogs and kitty's. These poor babies. They don't ask to be born. To be abandoned. They just want  to love you and be part of your family. I'm in tears. I'm sit but please neuter your pets. Too many homeless animals. Just a thought.  Ciao for now

I Like Grapes

    So funny, I was walking into work this morning and as I walked across the parking lot a big ant walked across my path.  I mean those big ones, not the little ones that always seem to be everywhere and build those anthills.  Now the thought crossed my mind that I really have not seen many of these as of late.  So i get to my desk and I mention this to my pod mates.  Of course they look at me with tilted heads  LOL -  yes I do have very random thoughts.  In the movie Charlie and The Chocolate Factory one of the grandmas, while in the midst of a family discussion, just comes out with "I like grapes!"  That's me, random things just pop out of my mouth or into my thoughts.  i actually make that analogy as a former co-worker said that I was like her years back. LOL   See I've always been this way.  But in all seriousness, where are the bigger ants these days. not that I want to be over run with them LOL   
     Another thing is this blog.  if these are my inner thoughts and musings, should they be raw comments, or over time have I often censored myself as not to offend a reader?  I think it's the latter on occasion. Is the right thing to do?  I'm really not sure. I am not out to hurt any feelings or worse have an over zealous person try and hunt me down over political views  HAHAHA  but it is a consideration.  I also have so many thoughts that its hard to pinpoint them to get them onto the computer. I've always expressed myself better through words, I tend to think too fast and my words, when speaking, get a bit jumbled. They can leap frog over each other to the point where  I sound like a blabbering fool. Not really a stutter but close enough.  I actually can have a very normal conversation with a person, I have many thoughts and opinions like most of us, but somehow over the years it's only when I write things down that people are willing to hear them. I'm not a great debater lol 
     I have also seen people in my life who I love very much and care about, distancing myself from them.  Now, I understand the need to get away, or that life itself is so busy. I'm not stupid, I do have a life, its stressful, but has very bright moments with laughs and it can be crazy,  so I definitely understand busy. Now that being said, when you see friends making time to see other people, you wonder why they didn't want to see you. If you left a very interesting theater article on a a friends page and they totally ignore it but share a similar article with no mention of yours, you start to wonder and think well it IS me.  You care about these people and yes it hurts that they are ignoring you. Now of course in their minds they are just doing their thing, living their lives.  Maybe it's me, but the point of having friends is to be able to share things with them. You see something you think they may like, you let them know, Not every day, every minute of course. But over time. It's pure joy to share experiences with like minded people, people you have come to love, those that you have shared things with. Perhaps I just put too much on others, Its nothing I wouldn't do for them but then again everyone is different. I never grew up with brothers or sisters, so I ADORED my friends. Now I do enjoy alone time also which is why I can truly understand the need for being alone. But when you say you want to be alone, and make plans with others and not one certain person, it's really as if you just don't want to see that one person. Otherwise you wouldn't have met with others. Understand what I'm trying to say?  It just feels odd and unfortunately its a very hard thing to discuss without sounding needy or worse, bitchy. As a friend you let people be who they are, I mean why befriend them then? It's sometimes more complicated than romance. Romance is easy, you have a love that goes beyond friendship to envelop every aspect of the person. This too can go odd, as we sometimes can not see the real world, or see the real person. We turn a blind eye to the negative, so when the romance fades we all of a sudden look and - WOW - there's negative.  The person is not a god or goddess, they are a fucking human being - holy crap MIND BLOWN!!!  Us humans are weird, I am weird, my friends are weird and I mean that in the best of ways (normal is boring)      As of late I can almost understand people shying away from me, my life in in a state of flux, I'm working on stuff that prohibits me from doing some things I'd love to do, but I'll get there.  I will be around pestering my friends for quite some time but others and yes I will call him out - PAUL - I thought of you the moment I saw the Patti article. I know you saw it, but you not once commented on it, and then posted another article about the same damn thing.  You never call me, anytime we talk I am the one initiating the call. I have known you a very long time, you were there for me when my mom went into her coma almost 30 years ago and I thought we were going to lose her then (we didn't thankfully) we share history and stories, so would it hurt to once in a while acknowledge that you know me. Atext, a call?  I love you very much, I always will. See THAT's me, I'm am loyal to the end. I am that dog that still hangs around an abusive owner when everyone is wondering why.  Well maybe not that far but close. I take friendship very seriously.  I don't tell anything said in confidence, i take trust very seriously also.  Even if someone betrayed me I still would not tell things i was trusted with.  

OH BUT CAN'T A GIRL RANT ON  LMFAO  I really hope I've offended no one 
Saw this and I love it. it's not terrible to be happy and to make your own happiness and oh what a  joy to have friends to share your happiness with!! 

I don't know what happened there peeps, I threw up words all over the page.  Eww that's a bit gross - sorry  :-D   Slow news day perhaps? HAHAHAHA   Well lets see we now know I love my friends to the point of being obsessive, I have and say random thoughts and well, where the hell are those damn ants??   Alrighty then, I think it's time for me to end this as it seem the blabbering fool has appeared and this time she was in print!! ACK!!   So until next time peeps, Ciao For Now

I Still Haven't Heard It All

     First off I spoke to a chick today - BEST last name ...Rockovich!!   LOVE IT   Anyway.....someone calls up asking advice about a situation at their offices. Apparently, someone at the place is (to put it nicely) defecating on the floor in the toilet. And just leaving it there.   First off -  EWWW She was asking if they could put up signs to be neat  and i was like yes of course then. hell, the sooner the better.  That's gross.  I'm the type at home I have wet wipes in the toilet also. I'm all about the freshness. lol  I can only imagine walking into the toilets and seeing that on the floor. YUCK
     It's par for today though, today has been the Monday from hell. Only plus is that I will be in NYC on Friday. Getting there late Thursday night and then 3 glorious days of NYC for me, going to see a band out by the water on Sunday night and out with sis all day of Saturday, thinking wineries  lol We will get into something fun i'm sure.  Always do.  Monday I will drive home. I will bring some NY bagels back for the work peeps as you can't get a real NYC bagel here. A few places come really close but none are 100%   NO pizza this trip, I don't think my tummy can handle it. But its NY Pizza so.......... lol    Im making a marinara sauce and sausages for dad on Friday night. Will do up some chicken breasts as well and then also make the escarole and bean soup that Dad likes as if freezes really well and he loves it with a huge chunk of italian bread and butter to go with it.  I enjoy cooking for him.
    OOH just a text from sis we may be hanging out at Ottos both Sat and Sunday. Live bands, on the water, great dives with good drinks and food?  twist my arm  LMAO
   Well Im getting within a half hour of getting out of here and I can't wait today, monday from hell!! lol  So until next time   Ciao For Now

I Am A Bit Gobsmaked

    OMFG!!! IT HAPPENED My fear has come true.  Our mortgage hit the bank and my check does not go in until tomorrow. It was supposed to come off of the auto payment which would have been fine, no issues, but NO the request as not done in time I guess. So we now have a negative balance  but hubs is on his way to the bank to make sure they just keep it pending until midnight when my check goes in and then we will be fine.  I am so so upset by this.     I hope this is going to be okay, I've never had this happen in my life. But can't do anything abut it here at work so will have to see what happens with hubs and the bank.

ON THE OTHER HAND :-D

  I had a great conversation with my friend in Maine last night. A person needs a handful of good people that they can talk to and not worry about what they say being judged or past along to others. I have a few, sis of course, she has my back and I hers, love her, also my gal in PA, although we haven't spoken much lately she is tried and true and my gal in Maine who I've shared so much with including a boy friend. At separate times though! hahahaha  Well she and I spoke and it as so good to catch up. Its hard to believe her oldest is headed into her final year of high school and has already been looking at colleges to to to. Think she may end up in NYC. She really like NYU and her grades are more than good enough to get in.  Time flies boy, I remember the day she was born. She calls me Aunt Mary :-D   (my friends daughter, not my friend lol)  I would love to grab sis and take a drive up to maine for a girls hang out weekend. Its about 6 hours from my dads house, not bad at all.  I am using vacation time next week and just have to build some more time up, I can see it happening.  They know each other and I'm sure it would be a hoot. I can just hear the conversations after much Guinness and wine is consumed. LOL
      I also spoke to hubs' cousin the other night.  They live out in CA and I had to let them know that we will not be attending the wedding in Oct.   Sad to say this but we can't afford it, so they understood and they may be headed to the east coast in the winter. Hub's brother & fam are not going either, kids would miss too much school. So its going to be a lets look at where they are registered and send prezzies wedding.
     OMG  I saw this video on FB today of this very overweight woman who was taped just eating and eating, 4 full pizzas, ice cream, cakes. To each their own, if that's what she likes and hey gods I'm a big girl, and I try to keep myself neat and clean but videos like this annoy me as they are always used to focus on the very negative view of overweight peeps. Look if your happy and healthy who cares but there is such a stigma on fat and this just adds to it.  I was practically in tears at the comments on this. People are so cruel, I'd like to think its not the first instinct of people to be mean but some of the comments on this video make me think many people are.I don't know why this lady would let herself be video taped this way. I dont know, but then again I will not go sleeveless in public. Its just me as I know women much bigger than me who will, More power to them. Im just not comfortable doing it. Maybe i should exam more closely why I won't.  :-D  

Some Good News

    Woohoo, I was able to get off the Friday and the Monday so when I go to NYC on the weekend of the 17th.  I will have a 4 day off weekend. Mini vaca, and much needed. Well its a Dads and sis weekend, but just being close to the ocean helps me. So thats the good news, the bad news I cant get any nose piercing or new ink until I come off the meds I'm on since they are blood thinners. Im thrilled at least that I was able to get a friends drawing inked on me, I was hoping to get another done with an exact duplicate of the drawing, but well, maybe one day.  I may still get the piercing, I'm not a bleeder and its not like its going to take more than a minute to pierce. maybe! LOL
     Today some dude yells at me its a waste of time talking to us as we know nothing.  He was someone who was looking for a job here, and we do nothing with recruiting at this office. I have no lists of any recruiters. I asked for the name so I could maybe get him to corporate for them to transfer to the extension of that ee but he kept yelling.  I hung up, not going to be abused on the phone by someone who just wants to yell. I get enough of that from the real callers  :-D
     Still a bit rough, hope its just a bug that will be gone quickly. Not in the mood to blog much today peeps, love and lollipops though  ciao for now

Happy 4th Of July and Tummy Issues

.    Well a 3 day weekend is a great thing. Yesterday was very good. Slept in late, woke to a lovely cuppa, read, then met a friend for drinks. After 4 I was feeling fine. Was about 2 miles from home so I got home with no issues. If I had to drive very far, this would not have been the case. Lol so after spending 5 hours out, I actually was pleased with a night in. Which was spent doing girly things. Shaved legs, moisturizing my arms and legs. Plucking my eyebrows and go Lordy, speaking of my eyebrows. Well going back a week, I try to save money right now so I did my own hair. My girl says to come in but she doesn't charge me. She's amazing and her generosity is stellar. But I don't want to take advantage. So I do the simple coloring. I will go to get my hair cut and some highlights put in.  BUT I FOOKED UP. I usually use a root touch up color to do my eyebrows, this time I used the color I was doing my hair. So needless to say, they are quite blonde. Hard to see. So it almost looks like I have none. It's quite funny, but I look horrible. So I'm re doing them tomorrow.  Today I'm not doing anything. I feel as bad as my eyebrows look.  My tummy is doing flip flops. The weather is matching I must say. Rainy and cloudy, and I just this moment heard thunder. Not fireworks. Haha
      Tomorrow ( tummy willing) we are headed out early for a drive.  We have no money really for anything pricey. But it's only thus week and a half that will be a bit tight. Just my pay days and bills don't coincide so I need to juggle. I'm getting really good at it :-)  
     NYC in 2 weeks, not going this upcoming weekend as I had hoped. But this way I'll hang with sis, get my nose pierced so she can check out Lark tattoo. Hopefully this band she likes will be playing at this dive bar we like called Otto's, it's in Freepirt on the nautical mile , so you get good music, good drinks, decent food and lots of fun.  I'm thinking there will be a few people there as well as us. I'm going to take an extra day so I can leave that Monday and get one more beach day in. I need it.
     Hubs has old Doctor Who playing all day on the TV. I love the show but I've got me ear buds in listening to Bruce Springsteen choonz. Hehehe.  Boring day, but not to be gross, I really don't want to be away from my toilet today. Okay sorry - bit too much information there. Lmao.
Well then, I'm going to make a nice hot cup if tea, and chill to more tunes.   Ciao For Now.

It's Official - The World Has Gone Crazy

     Okay, I just saw that there is a planned flagged burning this weekend in Brooklyn, NY. Really? To make matters worse, it's a group against the police department. As I said, there are many "bad" cops, but the majority are not bad. They are there to protect you and rusk their lives everyday. Respect for them! Now let's burn the flag! The show Dukes Of Hazard is being pulled because of the car!?  It has a confederate flag on it.  A statue of Christopher Columbas was defaced with the protest black lives matter.  EVERY LIFE matter jack asses! This country is so over the top. Everyone is so offended and the people coming here want us to bend to their demands. Sorry, fuck that. You want to live here you abide by OUR RULES. We would have to do the same in your country. Out of respect for host countries you should anyway. Get over yourselves everyone. It's infuriating to say the least. You will now find me in my blanket fort, with my coloring books, and eating jam sandwiches. Lol
     On a very different topic. It's true that you influence folks without even knowing it. Your actions and words get absorbed. I tend to end my calls by saying, enjoy the rest of your day. So today I'm at my desk, my co-worker who sits across from me is finishing a call, and I hear him say, you enjoy the rest of your day. Lol I guess without knowing it he kept hearing it and now he says it. I smiled and kind of gave myself an inner "hi-five" LMAO. I'm headed out after work tomorrow for a few drinks with a friend. It's our Friday, since we are off on Friday for the 4th of July holiday.  We need it, we are commiserating the fact that no increases are being given out this year. That makes 2 years in a row.  The company is splitting and we are not sure if we are supporting both sides or just non government contracts. Right now we support both non government, and government contracts. Everyone is in an uproar, but we shall see what happens.
     We were talking today at lunch, one of the girls was missing her cousin, who lives on the west coast. She was saying she hardly ever sees her. She was upset as her cousin got ill and was in the hospital. She was all like, what if something happens and I never get to see her again. I never would have gotten a chance to say good bye. Whoa....hold on.....I'm usually the drama queen in the group, but even I was a bit taken aback. She was in the hospital, she is out already and home. It was gall bladder surgery. She was a bit over the top but I understand what she means I suppose. All my dearest friends are not near me. I want to see them as often as I can, it's true you never know what's going to happen but you have to not worry about the what ifs.  We all told her as much and she felt better talking about her cousin with us. Yeah we get into some weird convos at lunchtime. Hahaha
     Speaking of hospitals, my uncle was taken in to one yesterday. Very shocking as he had just gone for a check up and all was good.  Turns out he has an infection in his leg, WTH? I seem to have similar ailments with my uncles family instead of mine. Well at least I know where I get it. :-)
He's doing better and should be getting out soon. I will call tomorrow to check on him. He called me so often when I was in the hospital. They are a bit offbeat, but I love them. I'm offbeat too, it's a good thing.
     Well that's the thoughts for tonight peeps, until next time, ciao for now.

What A Storm Last Night

    It's been a long time since thunder has woken me up from a deep sleep. But last nights sleep was interrupted by the loudest crack of thunder, it shook the house.  I started to pour rain and  the cat was on high alert. LOL She was not pleased with the noise. I on the other hand loved it, although I am paying for the lack of sleep this morning.  That with the added joy of allergies, my eyes are barely open today.  All in all, a magnificent storm.
     Not sure whats going on next week, I've figured fate will play its hand and i will be satisfied with whatever she decides.
     Best thing this week is that tomorrow is the last working day for the week. YES!! 3 day weekend, and I am not doing anything other than making a big jug of iced tea and going out back to read. Besides not having any money to go anywhere really, there is not much around where I live. We may take a drive up to the mountains and hit up some farmer's markets for fresh fruit and veg. It's actually a very pleasant way to spend the day. I have a lovely chair in my yard that just calls for book reading though so that above all may win out.
    Oh peeps, its a rough patch right now money wise, hopefully hubs will get a job real soon, I pray every day for it. My job just doesn't pay enough but I cant leave it until he gets something  so as we all do, I trudge on. It will get better I'm sure. I wake up every day so thats the best thing right there

Thats it for now peeps, just checking in. Ciao For now
