Sunday Blessings

Good Morning OFF Family,

I got back to my room last night, and housekeeping had not cleaned it.  I was not happy.  I spoke with the manager, and they're supposed to adjust my room charge this morning.

I head back to Michigan this morning.

Have a great day.

Hugs,

Trish

Morning Trish and OFF family o come in yet today...

Well the weather reports are not good for us for our BBQ tomorrow!!! Mother Nature is going to rain once more on my day!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR What did I ever do to her????? Nothing!!!!!!! WHY does she have to ruin every BBQ I plan?????? WHY?????? No matter what date I pick she has to ruin it!!!!!!!!! Sighs........

Went to one of our tenants family's fireworks last night...yippee!!!!!! She said oh theirs is SO MUCH BETTER THAN GALION'S!!! OK so we went with her to see theirs. Like I said YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Rick said we never should have changed our minds. I told him I didn't want to go there...but he said ok because he could drink his beer!!!! Get what you want I guess...LMAO!!!!!! Only thing nice was they had a bonfire to keep warm!!! I froze my butt off!!! They did some nice fireworks but nothing spectacular!!

Today I have to dig out what I need for the BBQ tomorrow as far as the decorations go. Not sure if I even want to go that far now...do I even want to put the red white and blue table cloths on the tables??? Just so fed up with the whole dam thing!!!! 16 people signed up 6 are bringing cakes! 2 are bringing chips, 2 are bringing cole slaw, 2 are bringing salad...potato? macaroni?, 1 pie, 1 deviled eggs, 1 scalloped corn, 1 green bean casserole, and I am bringing baked beans...how does this all sound for a BBQ??????? Now this is IF they show up!!!!!!!!!!

OK off my complaining here...........besides after its over with I can relax with a nice stiff drink!!!!!!!!! LOL

NASCAR was rained out last night so that is on today...I hope!!!! That comes on at 11am so guess I better get my butt in gear and get what needs done before that starts so I can watch it.

Trish if that is ALL that happened at your room be thankful...ours was MUCH WORSE!!!!! Still waiting to hear back from AAA on it!!!!!

Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

PS Mary was transferred to OSU hospital with heart troubles...PRAYERS PLEASE!!!! Thankyou so much!! Anything I hear I will let you know!!!

Good morning Trish and Judy and everyone....

Trish...sorry they didn't clean your room. I would not have liked that either. I hope they give you a good discount!!

Judy...I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow for your picnic. You have had quite enough rain for awhile now! Six cakes...are they crazy? Don't they bother to see what others are bringing. Guess not...you can't fix stupid!!! I hope you have a relaxing day today. You enjoy your ****tails this afternoon! I am still keeping Mary and Sandie in my prayers.

As for me...same old same old. It is supposed to be 88 today with high humidity. Guess I won't be going anywhere. I can't sit outside if the humidity is too high. I have been doing odds and ends around here. Did a little filing, balanced my check book, filled my med dispenser, and little things like that. Now I am done with everything. Glad the computer decided to start now. It did earlier but froze up just as I was finishing my reply on here.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!!

Prayers for our special OFF family.

Love and bunches of hugs to all....connie d

Connie...I am thinking they see monkey see monkey do on that list!!!! They have no imagination at all on things to make!!! Burns me up!!!! I started the list off by putting down I was making baked beans...next one to look at it said oh baked beans I can make those...I said NO I am making that...make something else! Are they really that stupid to not know what is already written down next to someone elses name that that is already being made??? GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!! I swear this IS the last BBQ!!!!!!!!!!!! I will stick to having BINGO and the big dinners Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. That is IT!!!!!!!!!!! They can't think what to make for a PICNIC?????? I am done...I have had it!!!!!! The harder I try the worse it gets it seems.

Storms are starting to pop up and that also is not making me happy at all!!! One weather guy on FB is telling me I have til about 3pm to get it in tomorrow...hope he is right!!! Not sure if my boss will show u*****t. I did invite her. Right know I don't care...sad isn't it? Then while I was bringing in things from other club house the tenant that called the cops on Rick a couple weeks ago stood there and jus****ched me!!!!!!! Yes she is coming to BBQ also!!! She is really going all out on her dish to pass...bag of chips. More than likely it will be a snack size bag...after all she IS a coupon queen and gets these things for FREE you know. Hoarder that she is on this stuff. OMG did I say that outloud?? LOL Then she will take plates of food home not to mention cans and I do mean CANS of pop home also after its over. Not to burst anyones bubble but I bought OFFBRAND pop this time...hahaha just because some people do take several cans home!!!!! WTH???? Do they not know its saved for the NEXT function?????? Like I said...I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for rattling on and on here....

Thanks for your Prayers...Not sure how Sandi  is anymore...all I know is she is giving up now. Mary went to OSU hospital and to me that IS a GOOD thing!!! Much BETTER Drs and Hospital!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hi Trish and Judy and my OFF family:

Busy night at work last night. I got in at 2 p.m. and worked til after 11:30 p.m. Just as I was leaving, my boss stops me in the hall and asks me to come in at 3:30 p.m. on Sundays because it worries the asshole guy in charge that I'll not come in if I don't get there at 3:30. He thinks he'll have to call someone else in (even though I've never called in sick on Sunday ... and when I have called in sick on other days, I called in early enough so someone could fill in). I said, "what am I going to do with the extra time I worked?" She told me I could take it off the following week. Well, it doesn't really work that way. She's more concerned about his feelings ... what about my feelings? And I don't like how this was handled ... doing it in the hallway as I'm leaving for the night. No management skills. But OK, I'll come in at 3:30 today, but I'm putting down all my hours. They can pay my damn OT. All I ask is to come in a little late one day (and it's a day when we don't have that much going on). I was really pissed last night ... called Richard and vented to him for an hour over the phone. 

So anyway, back to work tonight. I will not be happy. I'm extremely tired, I have a headache and my back hurts. I will spend as little time as possible talking to the asshole. Why she kowtows to him and I'm supposed to cooperate with him, I don't know ... he's just a big bully. 

Enough venting. I'm just waiting for my brother to show up on Skype for our weekly ***** session ... he just showed up as I was writing this. 

Eileen the boss asks you to come in early to work...MAKE THEM PAY THAT OVER TIME!!!!!!!!! BS!!!!!!!! Why make the asshole happy??? Make your pocketbook happy!!!!!!!!!!! They don't like paying OT tough *****!!!!!!!! Who does that jerk think he is anyhow?????? GOD????????

Have a drink and I will have one with you!!!!!!!! GEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSS

Good evenin' sistas!

Just checkin' in to see how everyone is doing.  I'm having a TV, cross-stitchin', jammie day myself.  You know, I can't remember the last time I was able to sit and relax in my own living room and watch what I wanted to watch.  And do what I wanted to do.  There are plenty of leftovers from our big meal yesterday, so I don't even have to cook today.  Heaven!

But I'd better enjoy it while I can because tomorrow will be another super busy day.  Butch has his MRI tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.  Then I have to take Budder to his doctor's appointment at 2 p.m. because Chris forgot to ask off for tomorrow afternoon and she didn't want to have to cancel his appointment again. (He was supposed to go last month.)  But Mike gets off at 3 p.m., so I'll hand Budder off to his daddy, and then I have to get Butch and we both go back to the chiro at 3:45 p.m.  Yep, busy day!

I am feeling much better with my shoulder.  Of course, I've not done much to test it either, but it has quit aching.  Thank goodness.  Butch is still hurting, but the pain is not as severe today.  I hope he starts to get some relief soon.  

My recent fling with ice cream is starting to become a real problem.  I have got to put the brakes on my Blue Bell addiction and soon.  They have a new flavor: Magic Cookie Bar.  OMG.  I wish I had never even tried it.  SO GOOD.  But I only bought one little pint of it, so if I want more, I have to get in the car and drive to the store, and I'm in my jammies, so I can't do that.  Thank goodness for that, too!

Benny starts swim lessons tomorrow morning.  I only have to take him on the mornings when Chris has to work.  She can take him tomorrow morning and Tuesday morning, but I think I have to take him on Thursday for sure.  Can't remember right now about Wednesday or Friday.  Butch can come with me, though, and get in the hot tub at the Y while Benny is having his lessons.

Only two more weeks until my big company comes for our Poe Family summer get-together.  I am making progress on the house, but there's only so much that I can do.  The rest is up to Butch, or if he would let me hire someone, a professional.  I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed by all of these half-finished projects, but there's nothing I can do about it.

I decided yesterday morning to start back on my Prozac prescription again.  After Chris and the boys moved out in April, I started tapering off of them.  And then I stopped taking them altogether in May while we were in Belize.  I thought I was fine.  But lately I've been so irritable and snappish and intolerant.  I've never had depression hit me this way before--and maybe it's not depression, maybe it's just menopause--but I decided it couldn't hurt to get back on the Prozac and see if that helps.  I wake up every morning determined to be a nice person, and by 10 a.m. I've already snapped at or picked at my husband like a real biatch.  I can hear myself doing it, but I can't seem to control it.  So, back on the drugs I go.  Maybe it will help.

Well, nothing exciting happening around here today, and I'm just rambling on, so I'll close for now.  Love you all!

Vickie, you know depression isn't always feeling sad or blue. Mine manifests itself in anger. I blow up at people. And if you're off your Prozac and you're snapping at people, you might be having those same feelings. Plus, everyone wants you to do everything for them, and then you don't have anything for yourself. I learned that in therapy. 

Take time for yourself for once. 

Yeah, thank, Eileen.  I do know that about depression--how it manifests itself in different ways.  Always before (pre-menopause) my symptoms were always wanting to sleep all day and all night.  But lately I don't sleep much at all, and I am becoming a real biatch.  Sharp and snappy and sarcastic--all those things I hate to see and hear in other people.  I can't tell if menopause is the cause or not.  Whatever it is, I need to get in control of it.  I'm not much fun to live with right now.

That jerk at your workplace is a real piece of work, isn't he?  I agree with Judy--if you put in the time, you need to get paid.  Don't let them screw you by offering comp time.  I've been down that road before.  Comp time is NEVER equal to overtime.  Besides, the jerk would just complain even more if you took extra time off.  I think your boss is wrong.
