It's 12:20 am Saturday morning! What's New?
Good Morning OFF Family,
Glad your travels are going well. I love to travel.
I am heading to North Jersey to therapy this morning. I have not been there in five weeks for a variety of reasons. I have been having a ton of anxiety lately, and I don't know why.
Afterward, I will be home to finish an organizing project with my wardrobe, and to walk the doggy some more.
Have a good day,
Hugs,
Trish

Today is my Friday and I don't have to be at the salon until 11:00, so I'm enjoying another cuppa and some OH time.
Gary is off for a run and then coming home to paint my bathroom! Yipeeeeee, my b'day present. Truly, I'm so excited about it, it doesn't matter that it isn't something wrapped in a box. It's just what I want. Sometime over the next couple of months we'll get my office done. We're still working on the back yard, so there's plenty to keep us busy.
Gotta go hit the shower. Hope you all have a maaaaaavalous day!

Morning OFF family....well I have been missing again as some of you may have noticed...haha my days off have been running back and forth to the dr and getting my car looked at. Nobody will touch my car because there is an argument going on over whether its covered under warranty or not!! Sooo wednesday I have to drive almost 100 miles to another Nissan dealership to have them look at it and see if it IS covered under warranty and if it IS they will fix it for me! I am so sick of getting the runaround just because I am a woman and they think I do not know anything!!! Don't they know that I am the "head *****"? LOL As for the foot dr, he didn't do much for me except look at my foot make me about jump through the ceiling when he bent my toe and asked if that hurt!!! He then took a couple exrays and said to come see him next week and we will go from there!!! Never even gave me a pain med to take nothing!!!! Never offered me any advise as what to do for the pain til next week either!!!! So I have not been a happy woman last few days!!! Body is hurting BIG time all over especially in my hips and I could hardly walk last night after I got home from work!!
Rick's daughter's car broke down the other night and she called dear daddy to help her out. She was right here in our complex. Nice. So anyhow we went to help her out. She had no oil in it, no anti freeze either! I asked her if she ever put more oil in it after he told her to put more in when she first got the car. She said no because she didn't know where to put it!!! OMG!!!! I told her that there is more to just putting in gas and going in a car!!! Well the car is toast!! She blew it up!!! Nice car while she had it for what 3 weeks? Well anyhow she came back last night to pay her dad back the money for the oil and wheil she was here he made her open her Christmas gifts!! She loved the bath stuff and the body sprays. She then opened the afghan I had made for her and she loved it! She asked if I made it. I said yes. Well any way when she was leaving she gave her dad a hug and a kiss told him thankyou and then walked right by me never looked at me and said thanks. Fine. Soooooo another thing is that lastnight Rick's mom was babysitting for Anthony. She asked if we would help her because she had to have a couple teeth pulled. Yes we would watch him because I didn't have to work at night. well turns out she didn't get the teeth pulled after all so she didn't need our help. But she did bring him over for us to see him. Had a blast playing with him!!! He was play fighting with me and boy h boy that got Bandit going!! LOL He thought Anthony was going to hurt me I think and he was barking like crazy at him!!! I told him to stop or Bandit might bite him so we stopped playing like that. It was fun though. So after about 15 minutes as usual it was time for Diane to take him away. She does this everytime!!! I think she does this on purpose so that Anthony doesn't get to attached to us!! She is jealous I think. Anyhow, Nicole told her that she had to work last night and that is why she needed a sitter!!! Well she was really out partying with her cousin that just got out of jail!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! Now I told Rick that she is going to push my buttons one more time and I just might be the one to turn her in!!! She is going to lose that baby!!! She hardly EVER takes care of him and he has no clue where he lives as they go from home to home to stay right now!!!! I feel so bad for him!!! Nicole is nothing but a spoiled brat and really needs her butt kicked but good!!!! Just makes us both mad as hell how she is!!! And another thing...her mother is coming back here to live. Seems florida didn't work out for her after all! Well enough on this as I am sure you are all rolling your eyes by now...
Had Bandit out for potty the other night and saw a huge herd of deer in the field behind the complex!! Been a long time since I had seen the deer around here and was just amazed at how many were there!!! Tons of geese and ducks are back also. This morning there was a pair of mallards in the pool swimming lol!!!
Need to get ready for work and hopefully I can make it through the whole day. Thinking of you all...prayers for those that need them!!!

AARRRGGGGHHHH! Pity party going on here this morning. I'll be gone the next 2 weekends and with working every day with middle schoolers my mind is in no shape for the task that needs and has to be done so. . . . .
Today is work on income tax filing day. Can't stall much longer. Have absolutely no idea whether it will be a refund or a payback. . . only time will tell. No more stalling. I'll treat myself to visit when I finish.
Have a good one everyone. What I really want to d is get out in my yard and clean the perennial terrace. Hopefully after I finish taxes there will be light and sunshine left!

I remember reading this early this morning and thought I responded, but obviously I was dreaming because there's nothing from me here ... oh well. I had a bad night at work, but I'm now off for three days, one furlough day and two regular days off. I really need the days off. I'm really tired and cranky, plus I'm switching antidepressants, so I'm weaning off one, as I get ready for the other, so my body chemistry is whacked out. Needless to say, I wasn't nice yesterday at work ... it doesn't help that I was doing Monroe sports and they always do something to tick me off. Last night, I was waiting and waiting for copy again, and the one sports writer insists on "helping" with everything and telling me how to do everything, which ticks me off ... to me, it's not helping but insulting. Well, I should have kept me mouth shut because somehow she found out that I was mouthing off about her and got back to me ... next time I'll just shut up about it.
The thing is, I have nowhere to go to voice my feelings (other than here) ... so I say it out loud at work, which probably isn't the best place ... but others do it, and they don't get in trouble, just me. I'm sure I'll hear about it next week. I almost feel at times I should just quit, draw my pensions and apply for disability. I'm so depressed all the time and in so much pain ... I'm not happy here when I have to do Monroe sports ... I like working on the Lafayette team but they keep throwing me back on Monroe sports because we're so shorthanded. I just don't know how much more of this I can take.
And here I start crying again as I type. Oh well, I have two days to watch basketball, do laundry and think of nothing but hoops and myself, not the newspaper biz and how it screwed me in the end. I'm going to kick back and enjoy my three days off, because next week I work six days.
Anyway, have a good day. I enjoyed reading all your posts ... it feels like I'm sitting and having coffee with y'all.
