What's New Wednesday?
Hi Eileen and Friends!
Nothing new today, same old same old! One day closer to the boss' retirement. Tim McGraw's song "Not a Moment Too Soon" keeps playing in my head! Yesterday he walked in with a smile on his face, you'd have thought honey was dripping from his lips. With in 10 minutes, he turned like a pit bull. Handing me a folder, he asked me to copy the contents and mail the copies to an attorney. I knew I had already copied everything in that folder for a deposition a couple of months ago. I started pulling out the copies and he started yelling, "I told you to copy it, not read it." Like I didn't already know what was in the folder. No sense in trying to explain that there were duplicates. I copied EVERYTHING and mailed it. Let the attorney wade through the stack. If he calls and asks why the duplicates, I'll explain, "That's what I was told to do."

Hi Eileen and my OFF Family!
I totally relate to being cranky when I get such a little amount of sleep, 5 hours is my minimum required amount and that is once in a while, otherwise I am a crabass and not anyone you'd want to be around, 6 hours is my usual and I can function on that no problem, it's generally all I get most work days. . . anyway, I never did make it to the gym last night after my AA meeting, the thought was there, but I forgot to put my sneakers back in the car yesterday, so I was not about to turn around and go out once I got home, which was 8:45 p.m. last night, that would have gotten me in bed well after 10:30 and that would have made me short on sleep, today I will take a long walk at lunch hour.
Anyway, Happy Wednesday! I am at work and can actually say that the last couple of days there has been some, which makes me happy, however, on the other hand, there are people starting to leave in my department and from what I am understanding, it's a question of them being given a time frame in which to do so. . . this is not great news and there have been other changes, so I'm wondering when the ripple effect is going to come and who it will touch. Again, I say, I am not going to worry about the things that may or may not happen to me, but on a realistic level, it's a scary world to be unemployed in these days, especially when you approaching you mid-50's, que sera sera. . .
On a good note, tonight I will be meeting Tony after work to share a nice meal together, before heading home to sleep.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Prayers, hugs and positive thoughts, L

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Laureen:
Boy, that would have been a late night ... totally understand. I really wish I could afford the Y and they would be open after work so I could take a swim ... that would feel so good on my back and knee. When I worked early mornings, I would go to this health club that work paid half for, it was near work and I'd go on the way home. It was great ... no kids either. And since I was already out, it was hard for me to make excuses. Now that I work nights, it's harder to get my butt out the door ... and now I can't afford it either. But I miss the pool.
Enjoy your dinner with Tony. Sounds like a great night.

cleaned all day- realtor was here almost 2 hours walking thru the house and yard etc- making notes- so much still to do before we even sit down to talk contract..it wa sthe first we had ever spoken so more to do there too-and she had shown the house before we bought it when it was in such disrepair! anyhow- so much to do...ouch! some is minor stuff like take down some curtains etc but some is money stuff too....all of this cleaning really stirred up my allergies too....this gal is co-owner of a large local firm -they do muchos advertising and so she will work at selling the house- i hope! we will , of course, rebury St Joseph too....then i want to find an apt or duplex somewhere out by my kids and settle in for the winter til we figure out what we're going to do and work on repairing our credit- has never been awesome but was a whole lot healthier before michael's fall and the long worker's comp fights....
well ; last nite my fear came to be and michael fell off the tall ladder in the back yard- bruised a leg and got a booboo on his face and some swelling--was very very sore last nite and early today-and wasn't even gonna tell me....dang it!!!!
roxie is laying on my backend in the desk chair..not comfy for me but she loves it! i never used to have a shelf back there- i do now -from her!!!
callie cat stayed outta my way all day- she hates cleaning! roxie kept dragging her toys around and kept trying to help!
dinner is in the oven on a slow reheat and i think i am going to go roll some yarn so i can start a new hat...am hoping to use it for a Christmas gift....
judy-i would love to postpone frankenmuth til next year- but something would come up for you or brenda or whoever-i am having a very very tuff time myself pulling my funding together and almost am having to pull out- not good when it was me who wanted to go there in the first place!!!! i may have to sleep in the bathtub in carla's room-
anyhow- hugs and prayers to all!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hi Margo:
Michael's fall sounds scary. That's why I don't get on ladders too often, even small ones in the house. My mom fell off a step stool in the kitchen a few years ago and broke her pelvis. We have since forbidden her doing that again ... she can't use a ladder either unless someone is behind her to make sure she is steady. She's 84 and not very steady as it is; she shakes constantly. I also know about cleaning stirring up allergies ... that's why I don't do it (one of the reasons ... the other is my back and knees).
My funding isn't the greatest either. Things are tight all over. We talk about it at work every night. The world is a mess.

hope michael feels better soon from his fall....ladders always scared me...good luck on the house!!!
