What's new Wednesday?

Hi Marti & OFF Family, Nice to see you posting and my challenge this week is not to get too caught up in things that are beyond my control and feelings that somehow I could/should do something to rescue others from their pain. . .  not my job, I am just here to be a friend if needed and wanted.  That, believe it or not, is difficult for me!   As for the wine drinking, well the antibiotic can't do it's job as well if you are imbibing alcoholic beverages, but glad that you did not get snagged last night. . . This morning I went to traffic court as I had a ticket for making an illegal left turn, though I was not paying close attention to details, my windows were fogged up, chatting with the girls, it was late, we were the last of the patrons to leave, as we went to dinner after our Friday night AA meeting to celebrate my birthday, I looked both ways, there was no traffic and my girlfriends said that the cop thought he had a car full of drunk women leaving a restaurant and since I wasn't drunk he ticketed me for what he could . . .  oh well, I just don't want the points for the ticket, so I went down, willing to pay the fine, but was told I had to plead either guilty and pay the fine or innocent to see the proseceutor, so half a day of work and now I have to go on the 31st and lose a whole day of work to fight this, but everyone tells me I can get the ticket downgraded and will just have to pay the fine, so that's what I'm hoping for. . .   It's horribly hot and humid, can't wait for the rain to come and clear this away, tomorrow is supposed to be a beautiful day and hopefully the weekend will follow suit. . . Have a wonderful day, prayers going out to all in need (Connie, Nick is in my prayers every day). . . Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

Good afternoon. I should be working but am having a hard time concentrating at work today.  So I guess that is my challenge today.  To get my head back on straight. The afternoon hits and all I want to do is go home.  I need a 9 to 1 job. Or maybe no job at all. Real estate is not a steady thing right now.   Our daughter and her husband would like to get another place.  They need a place with some acreage, so they can park their semis. And they could probably find a place to buy, but they would probably have a tough time selling their house. It is an older home in this small town. Outside looks good with new siding they put on, but inside needs some repairs, (carpet, painting). They have done some repairs and it looks better than when they bought it. Not much else going on with me.  Just wanted to let you know I was still around. Mickey

I am just dropping in quickly. Just finished my Expecting Moms group, it went great. I am off work now until Monday. I will be leaving tomorrow for a Legion Convention  so I will will see you all Monday, have a great week-end.. BTW. I did get the opportunity and nerve to tell Chuck just how I felt about his behavior on Sunday, his assinine out burst about not spending enough time with me. I told him the exact hours we had spent together and I felt like I was under his thumb and I DID NOT LIKE It ONE BIT and I was really pissed at him. He stomped off, muttering under his breath. He did not have one word to say, but he heard me and he knows he is on shaky ground. I am not looking forward to having the spend the weekend with his snoring and controlling ways this weekend, but it has to be.At least all of our meetings are apart.Well I gotta run..See you next week. Blessings
