IT'S TUESDAY!!!! - What's new with you?
Good mronign George and Friends!
George, I can understand not enjoying fishing from a dock in a mob of people. We have a couple of very secluded spots where we fish, accessible only by boat! Once in a while one of our fishing buddies will be out there, but generally, it's George, me, and hopefully lots of fish!
Nothing new since yesterday except that I had to call the boss as home and he chewed me out. Can't wait until he retires. Verbal abuse in the office was one thing, but when I have to hear it over the phone, it made me want to hang up on the old coot.
Oh yes, something new - I went right from work to the gym! I figured if I went home first, I wouldn't want to go back out. Worked out for 45 minutes!!!

Good morning to you George and all of my OFF family. I am just so excited this morning since I do not have to go the church today. Wow~that in itself is a miracle.
I am planning on staying home and cleaning house most of the day today. I do have to go to the grocery store and get some things since I am leaving on Friday for Frankenmuth and I can't have Bill shriveling into nothing the day I am gone. Fat chance on that happening! ha ha I have to get some easy things for him to eat since he is not much of a cooker. That is my department. The easier the better for him when he is home alone. All I ask is that he remember to feed and water Misty. She is asking the same thing.
I got up early yesterday morning and found out that Misty was on top of the refrigerator and my cookie jar was up there. Notice I said was~the cookie jar is no more. She knocked the lid down on the floor (don't ask how because I haven't figured it out yet) and it shattered. I stood there and cried since that is the cookie jar that my brother in law bought for me. He picked it out himself because he always bought me something special for Christmas before he died. That was the gift one year. It broke my heart. I just stood there and cried. I still walk into the kitchen and look up there for it and then it isn't there. I yelled at her and called her a ***** and she pretty much steered clear of me until I went to bed last night. Smart cat!
Misty has found a new place that she likes to recline on. The dinette sets chair. She lays on there and it is under the table and she watches outside. She has been doing that for the past few days. She is always finding something new to do. I guess everything is just for Misty and no one else. Or so she thinks. I am going to have to be getting her into the groomers since she is so long haired and all she is doing is scratching and I know it is from her hair. She gets shaved down into the lion cut. Since she is a girl I call it the lioness cut. She is a little cutie and she floats around here like she is something worth looking at when she gets her doo. She is a typical girl that is for sure.
So far everyone who has met the new Pastor is liking him. He is so likable I can't imagine anyone not liking him. He is just one of us~a blue collar worker like the rest of the church. I am so glad that he came. We had a meeting last night and sure enough in he walked and sat next to me and just asked questions on who they were. It was a nominations meeting to fill the positions for next year. I am glad that he came but was kind of surprised since he had stated that he wouldn't be much help with that meeting since he didn't know anyone. But he did back me up on one thing that I was adamant about. I am glad that he was there and I was right. ha ha
I went to see my pcp yesterday and I told her that I have had a headache for 5 days straight and she thought that it was stress related. Bill and his cousin said the same thing. So I am working really hard to get rid of some of this stress in my life. I am glad that the things at the church are finally going to be starting to calm down since the new Pastor is here. I know that I have been hitting the sweets more lately. Like every chance that I have. I told Carla this morning that I ate 2 peanut butter cookies the other day and I have never like peanut butter cookies. So what does that tell ya? Yep thought so, the same as it is telling me. I pledge from this day forward that I am going to work really hard at pointing the stress in other directions. Like most anywhere. I have come to far to let this happen and I refuse to allow it to happen. Gosh I wish that I was one that couldn't eat sugar at all. Instead I can tolerate it to a certain amount and being the compulsive over eater that I am instead of saying that if I eat to much I will get sick I work in my head to figure out what is the most that I can eat. I am not a big sweet eater and so I can tell the stress is the problem and nothing more.
I guess I had better get to going. Yes~I am finally going to shut the mouth. I hear every ones cheers right about now. I am sending love and hugs to everyone and prayers for you too. Special ones are being said for those in need of them.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Hey George,
The return to work was fine.....lots of files piled up waiting for me to do the discharges....but hey, it's job security, huh?
Our book club read The five people you meet in heaven,
and enjoyed it. I personally have also read the other two books .....I like Mitch Allbum, he's a good writer.
We are reading A Year of Fog for next month's meeting.
It was in our reader's guide....sounds like it may be a tear jerker!

Done! Your Ticker:
Good Morning, We'll see how this goes. If I type real sllow my keyboard works but makes a clicking sound that I don't remember before yesterday. If I try to type normal it skips letters or locks up. It sems mostly to be when I have two of something in a row: ee, ll, etc. Any ideas out there? Lots going on at the new house. Seems like it was slow and now it's going great guns. Outside work, inside work, concrete, painting, carpet, plumbing, final electrical, you name it. I'm glad but so much of it could have already been done.
I have to get back on track. I've ben stres eating and have to cut it out. Se al those "double leters" that didn't print just now. What is that from?
Must get a shower and get up to the house to met with plumber. You al have a great day. (Tired of going back and entering the mising leters!)
Karen C
Well, I think you need a new keyboard. I don't think it is the computer, but I am no expert. Keyboards don't cost too much I don't think.
P.S. We are watching the debate tonight and I think this one will be making Tom even more "excited." wink wink

Hi George and my OFF family:
Yeah, the White Sox are out of it ... at least they won one more than the Cubbies. So that's good. I really didn't think they'd go very far ... the pitching wasn't as solid and their offense wasn't very reliable; they could slug the ball but didn't always produce in the clutch; plus, they were missing three valuable pieces of the team in Carlos Quentin, Joe Crede and Jose Contreas. Still, to win the division without those guys was pretty good. They overcame a lot of adversity. I wouldn't mind see the Dodgers and the Rays play; I'm getting sick of the Red Sox in there ... they're kind of becoming the new Yankees. I want to see new teams in there.
I slept pretty well although my knee hurt when I got home from wearing that new brace. It's a little uncomfortable to get used to. Ortho doc No. 3 says I shouldn't do any exercise, just let the knee rest. So that's what I'm doing. That's hard for me to do, because I want to keep it strong. I still try to do a few muscle strengthening exercises when I think of it. I'm so fed up with these guys, they all have different advice.
I need to get into the office early today; we have open enrollment for insurance meetings. They are changing some things about insurance, so I need to get to one of these meetings. They are adding flex spending accounts (which I really need to get to help with the drug copays) and also a "menu" of things you can choose for insurance. I'm interested to see what that entails. Pet insurance maybe? Also they're going to improve dental insurance ... about time! Maybe they'll improve the vision plan too ... right now, they'll reimburse us up to $200 a year, but you have to pay for it first, and I don't have $200 to put out for the glasses ... I really need to get my eyes checked and get new glasses. I notice my eyes getting worse and can't afford to get them checked. If I could get the $200 first, it would help a lot. We really do have good health insurance, but I wish the vision plan was better.
Working on the business page has been really depressing, as most of you who follow the news know. Every day, it seems to get worse. I don't know how anything can improve it. I know we're all suffering and struggling in this economy. I'm just happy I have a job. I know there are a lot who don't ... my brother is really worried that his job will be terminated if his AIG unit is sold. Things are tough all over.
Well, I should get going. Have a good day.

Morning George,
I don't usually post here, but when I read about you watching The Unit I just wanted to add my 2 cents ! I like that show and I didn't get to watch it Sunday night, but it is on my list of things to do - I watch a lot of shows on the internet - usually an hour show is cut down to about 40 minutes.
So I have to do some catching up, too.
I can relate to the outing with the grandbabies being cancelled. My daughter has moved in with a guy that has a 11 year old daughter. Well, my grandson is 6 and I love to pick him up from school to spend the afternoon with him. BUT now that Taylor is in the picture, my daughter, Amanda says that I have to pick up both of them if I pick up Steele. Well, that defeats the purpose of spending time with just Steele. And it has been our special time last year....
So I have decided to try to make it to school once a week for lunch with Steele and even though it is not the same, it is special to him.
BTW Taylor could go on to the after school program as usual....
Have a great day!
