What is on your mind

[firie]

I like riding the bus. Reminds me of NYC, which is where I wish I was right now.

[JustLovelyJenn]

There is just one thing i CANT get off my mind right now....

DADDY IS PACKIN'

My grandmother. I'd rather be with her than be here in this life.

At this moment...

News that my Aunts cancer was not removed by the mastectomy after all. It has made its way into her lymphatic system.

[fiercegrrl]

there are reason i watch fluffy tv all the time. 5 minutes of the news and i wanted to throw bricks through the TV.

Some simple yet profound words keep swirling about my head, dipping in and out of my subconsciousness and they feel right and I like that.

[Sweet Bliss]

Just curious,

What does it mean if someone says they will call you on Thursday, and on Thursday email you they are going to the races with friends after work, but when you check the race schedule you discover that the last race ended an hour before they email you.

What does it mean when the same someone tells you that their work schedule changed and they are now working 11am to 7pm, but the pre mentioned email you just received shows they got off work at 4 something, went to the races that are already done, and couldn't possible be there with their friends?

Just curious, does this mean i'm being LIED TO AGAIN?

Note to "he who is lying": Your "get out of the dog house" card has already been used....you only get one.

[Venus007]

I am really tired of having to hide at my job. I wish I could just be who I am, as I am instead of going through subterfuge. I wish my work culture was different and I REALLY wish the stakes were not so high. It won't be long now before I can go somewhere else so that even if I can't fly my freak flag high, I don't have to deny it's existence. Ugh

I know, this is hard. A friend of mine is dealing with moving with arthritis and a knee that is giving her such grief. It hurts me when people I care about are having a rough time.

You are a good friend!

today the hospital blocked this website for being vulgar.

I believe in forever, I've known it. Yet, we can't stop the flight of spirits that take it from us. We simply have to live knowing our every mortal moment is a gift we must nurture and give our heart permission to feel again. We can do this. We must do this to continue to be human.

I tire of laments of lost loves or being hurt. No one is immune from this. Nor from having your lover die. Grieve and heal, then open your senses again because there is something grand yet to be experienced. You (I) will regret not taking this chance.

It seems lately I go through my days aching for sleep and then I get in bed and have zero desire or inclination to sleep at all. I seem just so wrapped up in anxiety and worry, and it seems somehow that I am half happy and half miserable most of the time. I wish I could take a tour of the minds and feelings of other people. I've lived so many years in various simultaneous moods. Heavy, dark, brooding - then light, peaceful, flexible, playful.

Sometimes I am so sure that I've always been myself, that I have a very solid sense of self - then, at times, it's hard to know what a self is at all. Things seem so so so defined at times, and then the lines all blur and all the paint runs together and there is nothing solid at all in this world. Sometimes my skin seems so real and so mine - then sometimes I look down at my arm and imagine it could just as easily belong to another person entirely. Sometimes, when I've been overdosing on meditation, this body of mine seems like clothing I've outgrown, and this whole world seems so far from where I am.

I have a friend who almost died once in the hospital. She says she encountered God that day. She says she knows she is supposed to live because he sent her back, but she yearns to return to Him.

I cannot say I've experienced similar, but there have been days this year where life has seemed like such a distant and unreal thing - where it seemed like light and connectedness was the real reality, the overwhelming reality.

My beautiful gf will be done soon with her summer class, and we are planning to spend our time indulging in whatever enjoyments we can squeeze in before it's time for her to return to school. I am going to be meeting her parents soon. :) She really is the most awesome person. She's just beautiful through and through. Her computer-programmer mind and her bee-stung lips and her knack for understanding inexplicable people and her melancholy eyes, her long legs, her freckles, the peace she carries with her, her military bearing, her sweet oval face and her proud forehead, her tomboy grace, her swan neck, her quiet and funny observations, her strange and charming drawl, her ethics. Well, and then there's a light shining from her somehow. She seems just made of moonlight and fire. I never could have imagined her before I met her, and when I met her, I was not looking for a new relationship, but she poured all that light and fire into me and it was such a balm to my troubled, troubled soul.

Last September, a friend told me what her father had told her about relationships. He said, "You know it's the right relationship when the two of you are better together than either of you are apart - when the sum adds up to more than the two of you alone." Having just come out of the opposite type of relationship - where no matter how much love there was between us, the relationship made us both less than we were individually - this little piece of advice was so timely. Hearing it gave me the chance to say to myself, "I want that."

And that's what I want still.

[Scota_Parisi]

Five years ago this month, I began the process of "coming out" by telling my husband (of 12 years). He then helped me by angrily outing me to our families and a few of our friends. His gay brother tried to tell me that I was coming out "too late" for women that come out in their later years. My very lesbian (and quite lesbian chic) therapist told "I don't think you are gay." She of course was no different than the women I met when I was younger in the military. Apparently being pretty wasn't gay enough for them. Wanting to wear my heels, my makeup and my hair stylish - wasn't militant lesbian enough.

Then there was "The Butch" who really was just one of those militant lesbians styling herself as butch. She said she wanted to help me understand what a real lesbian is, all the while purporting to tell me what a "Femme's" role was. She, in all honestly, was a lazy woman who wanted someone to clean and pick up after her all the time while hiding behind the Butch Femme status.

Thinking a lot lately about the road that led me to this point.. to here. Have had a lot of Butch / Femme friends come and go over the past few years. Met some wonderful BF couples, that have shown me the amazing possibilities out there.

Dated one woman who will never come out. Not that you couldn't tell by looking at her, but she just won't. Fear of family and her church - she came out to me. We've been close friends practically our entire life. It turned out, that I was safe for her. Safe can leave a person very lonely. And lonely hurts in a whole variety of ways. Safe can also lead you to dark areas, you never thought you'd tread. I don't require that my partner be screaming in the streets, but it was hard when my Dad died and she was there in a "just friends" capacity. Likewise when hers passed away. How could one mourn, worried that someone "might see"?

Yep, I've met a couple of you who in the end, broke my heart. But truthfully, as painful as it was, that had never happened before. The closest thing I could ever relate to it up until I came out, was anything involving my children. And for the joy of feeling love, I will hang on to the roller coaster with all my strength.

To know and feel love and feel that love being returned.. FINALLY... feel it. Yeah, it hurts like hell sometimes - but.. life's funny - and .. I have come out of all of these things ... better for them.

The best is yet to come. I tuck my memories in a special place in my heart.

They make me who I am today, a kick ass, beautiful femme !!!

Well, day 2 of giving the cats their new medicine and I only got a little scratch on my forehead from one of them. I washed and got the peroxide right away. Good thing I'm still taking antibiotics. Only 8 more days of chasing 13 cats all over the house to give them pills. Dang, I'm tired already. It takes 2 of us to get the pills down them and they aren't any happier about it than we are. I certainly hope when it's all over that we don't have to go through it again. I want Shadow and Mama Kitty better and whichever one is the carrier. I'm just sorry we have to medicate all of them because of it. Poor Webster peed himself, he was so scared when I grabbed him. He's the kitty that doesn't like to be touched by people. He's been that way from the time we trapped him as a baby with his brothers. So, between the cats and mowing this weekend, I'm certainly getting a workout. My poor aching back and another reason to pop another kind of pill into my mouth.

The 2010 GOP platform in Texas supports laws that criminalize sodomy and suggests that straight people who support same-sex marriage should be penalized with jail time.The GOP platform was quoted as openly stating:

“We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy,” the GOP platform reads. Meaning that even though the U.S. Supreme Court overturned sodomy laws last decade (ironically in a case that stemmed from Texas), Texas Republicans would like the state to have the power to criminalize LGBT folks for having sex.

“We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for such,” reads the GOP platform.

If a straight person were to aid and abet a gay couple with marriage in Texas, th GOP would like to see that person serve mandatory jail time.

“We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases,” the platform reads.

We live an hour away from each other and yesterday "J" worked a twelve hour day, went home made sure kids were ok, and took them to their dads, and drove over here to spend time with me... I cooked her spaghettie, texas garlic toast, and brownie since she loves chocolate.. Made a her a bubble bath, and let her relax.. She passed out dead asleep for 12 hours. :) Then when she woke up she looked at me with those beautiful eyes and smiled that beautiful smile, and I melted all over again...

On my mind is that and how funny it is that once I revamped my list, someone who I thought I would never date completely takes my breath away.... :)

I am so glad you posted this HSIN. It is a perfect example of what I tell people who tell me that they vote for the candidate not the party.

We have to remember that each party has a platform and no matter how much we may like a certain candidate, it all boils down to the party's platform and ideology.

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

My hair - went for a cut & style yesterday. Had 5:15 pm appointment. Arrived at 5:20 - they know I walk over from my office and told me that if I ran 5 min late it would not be a problem. Upon arrival I was asked if perhaps 5:30 would be a better time for me. I told them that 5:15 was fine and that I had been delayed at work. My stylist informed me that my appointment was for 5 - told her since I got off work at 5 I would never schedule for that time. (I have their appointment card on my desk - been looking at it for 6 weeks and it clearly says 5:15) When she cut my hair she was obviously in a hurry. (As she started a friend of hers arrived and had to wait for her to finish, then they raced out the door.) Did not give me the style I asked for. Barely trimmed my hair, used no styling product except for some over-priced version of FrizzEase (not even hairspray!), blew out my hair and left. When I asked her to trim more off the top of my hair she got snippy (no pun) about it, snatching up her scissors and clipping away making sure to get as much hair as possible in my face. She also argued with me about the trim telling me that it as longer because she blew the curl out. I paid $40 plus a tip for this and she definitely did not deserve the tip. I paid for a cut & style and I got a trim. Definitely was oversharged. I could have gotten a better cut at a super cheap, you get what you pay for, type chain salon. My hair looked good until I stepped outside the salon. As soon as the wind hit it what little style there was disappeared and it flattened. She did not cut enough off my hair and as a result it flattens out. I am not supposed to be able to make a mini ponytail with the back of my hair. When I was there last month she took her time and actually styled my hair, used products to make it look good when she blew it out and took pride in her work. Guess I got in her way last night. Once they fix this tragedy I will have to look for another salon - I definitely won't be able to go back because she'll likely scalp me.

[Boots13]

I spent so much time physically preparing for this trip that I was more than confident hitting the trail.

But mental conditioning was another thing.

I stayed out of the touristy areas and in the poorer sections of La Paz when I was in the city. And stayed in my tent in the country and the mountains while away from the city.

I wasnt mentally prepared for the sad, harsh conditions that I saw. Conditions that were so much more trying than what I saw in Argentina, Ecuador and Peru.

The most obvious hardship was the street level and field workforce, most visibly comprised of female and children. No school for the kids

The lack of potable water (thank you global warming) ; the utter lack of hope in the sustenance routine of making it through the day. Day after day after day. And the stray dogs, so many. I saw two get hit and heard another get hit. Dogs, dead by the roadside.

Pollution so thick from buses that it hung like a spectre of things to come. The taste of diesel and dirt and the offensive smells of open sewers that I cant seem to get out of my nose...and I've been blessed with 2 showers since getting home at 4 am.

The mountain climbing was a cakewalk, compared...

When you go back, I wouldn't let her cut it. That's what management is for. I had this happen too. I finally found a stylist I thought did an okay job with my hair and she did...two times previously...then on what turned out to be her last day...she did a piss poor, suck ass job.

She was distracted and kept getting interrupted and I didn't have the balls at the time to say "I want a stylist. I am paying for a stylist. If you are not going to act like a stylist, then I want another one. Now."

I wouldn't have that problem today. :blink:

We are on day 6 of medicating 13 kitties without any fatalities to them or their human slaves. 4 more days of medicine and the 2 obvious sickees get to go back to the vet for a check up. We're hoping for a really good outcome from this medicine. I'm so tired of crawling under the bed, the desks, the cabinet in the living room and any other place they think they can hide when we start rounding them up.

Attempting to install a dedicated electrical circuit for my spa. Just not feeling like I can do it and it is expensive to have an electrician do it. ARGH.. one of the reasons I don't think I can is the very reason I have a spa.... my hands and fingers are very arthritic! Just don't believe I have the hand strength and dexterity to do this kind of work anymore. Pisses me off, as I have a lot of carpentry, electrical skill.

[ravfem]

i will avoid going outside for any reason at all between now & September because of the heat & humidity. i am very fortunate to have ac and to not have to work outside.

But the people who aren't fortunate enough to have ac and the ones who work outside in this weather are on my mind. i worry for them, as well as the animals who are trapped outside.

Every summer, people and animals here, mostly dogs with ignorant owners, die from the heat. Unfortunately, i think this year is going to be worse than usual.

[Andrew, Jr.]

Rockinonahigh,

You know I am with you on this. I was in the same position you are in. My furkids are my life. I do everything, and I mean everything with Dino. He goes with me everywhere, and sleeps with me and the 3 cats.

Is there someone who can take your furkids for a few days? Or what about using the PetsMart Hotel for a couple of days of your surgery/post surgery recovery time? It sucks I know. I just don't know what the answer is for you.

Being sick is hard on everyone. :candle:

Thanks buddy for the consern,my son lives hear and can take care of the kids when he is home also I can get a friend who lives behind me that my kids know to stop by and check on them.It depends om what kind of surgery I will have as to how long recovery will be,what was described to me was stabliseing both sides of my spine with rods and cuting away part of the vertabra to releave the pressure on my spinal cord.I have had these disk degenrating for a long time so some times thay arent to bad others it gets to pinching more then im in a world of hurt.I realy am not up to this cause frankly, part of me is worried they are going to mess it up worse.Then there is that im not shure about after care as I dont want some old crabby person who I wont get along with to be hear careing for me or being around my fur kids as they are very protective of me.Im not use to anyone takeing care of me as ive been doing it myself for years.

just how much and how far is this poison ivy going to spread? It is now on my face, my hand, and my chest. Dammit. I am suppose to get an upper GI tomorrow and am wondering if they wont let me take it now. Which means my surgery will get postponed. This is NOT making me happy.

Take a bath in oatmeal bath soap, you can spread it just by touching your spots. Yes they will probably cancel, til you are no longer showing blisters. Oh the cloths you were wearing, yea toss them in a plastic bag and dispose of them, the oils from the ivy will not come out of your cloths and if you try to wash them, anything they come into contact with will also have the oil on them.

If the poison ivy oils are all washed off, then no, it won't spread from skin contact. Whatever oozes from your blisters won't spread the rash, those are serum secretions as with any wound. Your clothes are still "infected" but before tossing anything, I'd research options.

It's the body's reaction to the urushiol oil, which travels in the blood stream that creates the rash. New eruptions are simply new reaction sites, but they come from within. One infection from contact can last up to 3 weeks.

There are many excellent sources of information, but when researching last week (poison oak, thanks!) I came across this site (http://www.knoledge.org/oak/). Be sure to read the "etiquette" section to maintain your sense of humor.

I've been using Ivarest with pretty good success controlling the itch.

[Soft*Silver]

after reading the post from Mr Bent, and going to the web page he linked, I realized why I might have gotten it!

I have been on predisone (steroid) for 4 months. Its one medication they are treating my ankylosis spondylitis (bamboo back) with. I quit taking it two weeks ago! I betcha I have been rolling around where there has been poison ivy and never getting it because of the steroid...and now that I dont have the steriod, places that I weeded before, are now places of doom for me!

so...I still have some predisone...I am going to start taking it again...I need to nip this in the bud as soon as possible because I dont want to delay my surgery!

I think I was under the assumption she had them spreading from her touching the spots, hense still had the oil still on her hands. Other wise yes the blisters themselves aren't spreadable. I've used oatmeal compresses to help with oozing of the welts, it did shorten the life of the welts by a few days and it made it not itch as badly.
Good luck, and try not to itch.

Speaking of PO/PI...

anyone heard about people with the ability to "talk" it, and other things (warts, the pain from burns, etc) away? Here in the south, a lot of us are huge believers in these "gifted" people.

When we were kids, my brother was so allergic to PO/PI that he would erupt in blisters all over his legs on a pretty much weekly basis every summer, whether he was around the plants or not. Finally, my mama asked around (cause these magical people don't advertise, nor do they accept monetary payment for their services) and found a woman in the neighboring town who had the ability to talk it away. We all piled in the car (it was fascinating, even for me, a non-believer) and off we went.

She lived in an old mill house, and was a sweet woman. She sat next to my brother and murmured indistinguishable words while rubbing both her hands over his knees & legs, for about 10 minutes.

After that eruption cleared up, he never had it again.

Now, i tend to be a very logical, scientific thinker about pretty much everything, so i personally believe it was just coincidence and his body finally decided it had had enough. But whatever the reason....people puts lots of stock into these "gifted" people.

I'm feeling tired and of the "I can't do this anymore mood". I have no one to tell it to, so here goes:
How long do I do this? We've supposedly been "together" for over 6 years. I tried to go slow at first, to do it right. I had my own place as an address for 3 of them but never got to live there. You wouldn't let me. You brought me here after 2 days and I never got to enjoy my own place again. Yes, we were in love. But I wanted my own place too. To have MY space. But your mother got mad, abandoned you/us and we were both sick I mean really sick. She took care of your meds, brought you meals, took care of you when you got sick. I stepped in and did all that. Yes, you saved my life by bringing me from where I was and took care of me when I was really sick. And continued to do so. I know and appreciate it beyond words. But I have been saving your life since I recovered. You have been continually ill from nearly the time I recovered. I loved you so I took care of you, take care of you. I bring you nearly all your meals in bed b/c you are too ill to get out of bed. I check your blood sugar around the clock. I 've saved your life from diabetes so many times I cannot count. I did. do these things b/c of love. But, dear one, I am getting so, so tired. I am very ill, too. I need to be taken care of but I come home from the dr so tired my eyes are crossing. And then you have a major health crisis. I have to figure which, maybe allm of your illnesses is going haywire and take measures to correct it. Usuaually you cannot help me in this process. You have gone catatonic, cannot talk, cannot move. So I struggle to make you comfortable, to make sure your O2 is on you, that your blood sugar is at the right level, check to see which meds you have taken. All this while I want desperately for someone to take care of me for a while. Not for long, nothing too much. Just one week of being able to sleep without worry that the alarm will not work, that your sugar will not drop, that whatever is making you so sick that you literally cannot lift a fork to your mouth unaided won't kick in while I sleep. I get so lonely, my love. I used to have you for company. We have no friends in this dead little town. While you sleep your life away, in whatever world your illnesses have locked you into, I am here in a place where I have lived for so long and not made even ONE friend. Do you know how unheard of that is for me? I make friends easily. If I had kept my little apt, I would have at least acquaintaces to say hello. People to talk with. I was going to reorganize the library there. I already knew the name of the best librarian at the town library behind the building, I had a handicapped apt for when I got my wheelchair. Now I cannot even walk down the street by myself b/c I walk with a cane and the street is too dangerous. I know that you did not intend for life to turn out this way. But while you sleep you life away in your illnesses, I want desperately for a shoulder to lean on. for someone who is awake and can make and bring me coffee in bed once in a while. Someone who can do all the things you promised me in the beginning. I feel myself starting to hate this place you've brought me to, this cold. unfriendly . lonely place. I look at you and remember our love at the start, I've never looked my age but now I feel twice that. I feel more like a nurse than a partner. Oh, love, what do I do?

I wrote this as part of my response to a friend's editorial column about the need for LGBT friendly members of our local government in order to achieve acceptance for everyone in our metro area. We have a culture of apathy where I live and that is in all communities not just the LGBT. It is extremely frustrating that everyone wants rights and privileges but very few offer to actually pitch in, much less support our efforts.

I'm not giving up - ever...

Here's part of what I wrote:

We CAN make changes individually and as a community. Imagine what our lives would be like had Stonewall never happened – 41 years ago this weekend a small group of people had had enough. Several years prior to Stonewall there were the riots at Compton’s. And what about Harvey Milk, Barbara Gittings, Frank Kameny, Harry Hay, Larry Kramer, Del Martin, Phyllis Lyon and many others? Their actions helped to further open the closet door for us…but that door has yet to be knocked off its hinges.

We can do this if we just get out there and get to work. Understand that we WILL meet with resistance. Change will NOT happen overnight. But if we continue to do little or nothing that closet door will begin to close inch by inch. If you don’t believe me I have 2 words for you: Prop 8.

I had dinner tonight with an interesting woman. Now I am wondering if she is trying to come out at age 40. She confided she had been with women ... really enjoyed being sexual with women. Told me when I went to San Fran for chest surgery, she would go with me to take care of me. (I never asked her to help me.) And she had tons of questions about the way I do things in bed, my strap-on, how all that works ... blah, blah, blah ... She is very attractive but I have never given any thought until tonight. She asked me to go eat with her. This woman has always been very affectionate in our friendship but tonight the hugging and the kissing on the cheek seemed more "something" than before. I cannot really read this. Just have to wait and see. I have been told I am a two by four butch. The fact is, lots of times I don't know if a woman is coming on to me ... or just being affectionate and friendly. Maybe it is nothing. Maybe it is something. Time will tell. She has the sexiest freckles and tonight it has started ... now I am driving myself nuts wondering if she has freckles on her titties too. Oh my gosh! :)

Dr says I need to destress... but my life keeps adding to it. I need to go back to the drawing board and figure out something I can do for a living that won't stress me out but still make enough money to live on. Love life is sucky, health is a problem because of asthma and stress. I need a new life. I am usually and upbeat and positive person, but the last couple of years are starting to wear me out. I hate how I feel about my life and I keep trying to find a way to fix my situation, but everytime I figure something out, somehow and in someway it is unaccessable. The latest being I was sent an application from a college for a course to learn the new electronic medical records thing. Gov't funding etc finally came in and I don't meet any of the criteria to even take the courses. I would need a couple of years of experience in IT and or the health field to qualify to even learn it. I don't have that so I need to figure something else out now. I am overwhelmed.

I agree with you Gemme. But it's early and I'm in a hurry....at first glance (and I hope I am wrong) it may read "kill" - being more closely related to "killing"... the first 2 letters on their own are used for "life". But I have to go to work now otherwise I would devote more time. This is just my very early initial impression and like I said I may be wrong.

I came back from my PCP and she is scheduling a neurological work up including a brain scan. Another Dr was going to do it but then decided to wait. I have been having some pretty serious issues with memory and confusion. When my PCP saw all the meds I am on (I thought i had told her the other Drs were prescribing me these meds...I must have assumed I did and just plainly didnt) she is thinking the meds are interacting badly...so she is going to talk to my other Drs and then they are going to look at my work up and brain scan together.....


can I schedule this in between my surgery for my hiatal hernia, my shoulder repair surgery and my back surgery? All to be done in the next 6 months...

so my mind is literally on my mind...

Yesterday our 2 obvious kitties with mouth infections had to go for their 2 week check up after their 10 days of meds. They still have the infection, but it's much better. The vet sent us home with another 10 days of Baytril for them, poor babies. Last night they really put up a fight taking the meds and I felt so bad for them. Today I have to separate them from the pack when R brings home more cat litter. I decided we needed to clear out one of the bedrooms and let them have it instead of them being isolated in cages for 2 weeks. Either way, they're not going to like being separated from all of us. I can see it now, I'll be taking one of our cots and setting it up in the room to sleep with them some nights and if not me then R. Those kitties really have us trained as they tug at our heartstrings. And in case I never said what the cats were diagnosed with after the culture came back, it was Pasteurella Multocida and Gram Negative Organism. It was the reason my finger got infected and I wound up with Cat Scratch Fever.

I was in my late 20s before I managed to stop biting my nails. Previously I tried various things to stop but was never able to. Then at one point I told myself to stop - and I did. However, sometimes the habit comes back - usually I realize what I am doing and stop right away. Sometimes I don't realize until I bite a nail down to where it bleeds. I did this the other day. Man, it is so difficult to type with a messed up finger!

I really do know better.

[JustBeingMe]

Wondering what news I will hear in the next few days or week. UGH.:canoworms:

All set for the hurricane which they are reporting is just under where we are...settling in for the rest of whatever is about to happen...there are tornadoes now where we hardly ever get any...thankfully Alex is at a Category 1 and that's a blessing...

How amazing...it's so beautiful outside now...there is rain and breeze--the heat is no longer...it feels a little muggy but the breeze helps...my daughter helped get everything ready and we are going to hunker down...

I trust God for all things and I am praying for minimal-to-no damage...will see you all on the other side...

Love and blessings-Shug

i am glad my nephew is up there, my brother and his new husband should be back tonight. Da is doing good, having the baby there keeps him busy. Well not really a baby, he will be 5 next saturday.

just hoping she feels better enough to come home soon.

[Soft*Silver]

wondering where Camo is. He is MIA...and I am worried

[*Magic_and_Silk*]

...The gorgeous sky after the thunderstorm today, all dark...with the sun shining in from the West and a rainbow in the East...
...The pounding rain and the music it made.
...The smell of the wet forest; it reminds me of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place.
...Words that make me tremble, in a good way, and the person who wrote / spoke them.
...Friends that do so much for me, even when they don't know it (because even the smallest kindness counts).
...How incredibly fortunate I am to be alive, reasonably healthy and able to enjoy my life.
...A funny little dog that makes me laugh until my sides hurt.
...The Morning Glories that actually grew in the tiny aluminum wash tub that I planted them in, against all odds.
...Sweet Gala apples....

THAT is what is on my mind.

I've been trying to complete a project that has been riddled with constant interruption for the past three days - and I couldn't take it anymore. I figured if I came in at 6:30 and had at least an hour and a half of quiet time, I would complete it, and I did! OH HAPPY DAY!!

Thank you, we will :) I think I'm going to drag her to the Borgata for the weekend.

Hope you have a great one too ;)

R and I joined the YMCA last night, so we could get some much needed exercise. This morning we were there at 6am. She went to the pools to do laps and I went right to the treadmill. She did 7 laps in 20 minutes and I did 1.18 miles in 20 minutes. It was enough exercise for both of us on our first day. After a week of once a day workouts, we're hoping to increase it to going twice a day. We both need to drop some weight along with the needed exercise. I'd like to tone up my upper arms without turning it back into muscle right away until I can drop some weight but am unsure how to go about at the moment, so for now I'll just keep on walking on the treadmill.

gardens a re a work in progress....and the more I do, the more I envision more to do....

I am really frustrated over this topsy turvy planter I have. Two years ago I used it for tomatoes and they grew like crazy. Now I am using it again for tomatoes and the dang thing is dying....grrrr

[Dylan]

YAY! We don't have to go to the laundrymat anymore, because we finally hooked up the washer and dryer...that's a bonus

But now, I have to do a bunch of laundry, clean out the car, do the dishes, and pack our bags before we go outta town to see bf-ers

And of course, it's been drizzly and cloudy for the last couple days...until I actually go outside to start cleaning out the car, and of course, the sun comes out, and it's hot and humid as hell outside


Gahhhhh, Moving To Cooler Parts Just Won't Come Soon Enough,

coming home from a family get together to find out my demented old dog had an accident in the house...shaking my head and cleaning without scolding her...it was my fault. I knew she has been having problems with bathroom stuff lately and its the 4th holiday and fireworks scare her....I should have taken her with me or gated her on the front porch. Sighing...

its going to be a tough last year....

I love the July 4th holiday. Except for the fireworks cause they skeer my pup half to death.
And people in the area are already shooting them off. My poor lil guy is hiding under the bed shaking like a leaf. :(

Ok realize I am a little toasted and have just had a bad dating experience, but I joined a new dating site and checked out a couple I have been on for a little while. Same ppl, same crap. No one interested in me or interesting to me. REALLY? Are there no local butches out there? WTF .... trying NOT to get depressed but really. Thank God I have a party planned for tomorrow or it would be even worse. I feel like giving up. Why bother? Women I know locally aren't interested.. and women a little farther out of my scope aren't interested. In a 25-50 mile radias no one. Crap.............

I absolutely HATE this time of year because of idiots shooting off the fireworks. It's illegal here to shoot them off before the 3rd of July and after 11pm but they do it anyway and I'll be getting off of work tomorrow at 11pm and have to be up by 5am. I don't foresee a lot of sleep before Monday morning. *grimace*

[Miss Scarlett]

The last 6 weeks or so have been pretty rough for me. Lots of work stress - some real and some my own creation. Forgetfulness and mental confusion worsening gradually reaching a climax last Tuesday. Drove home in tears - so confused and frightened. Not going into detail here - suffice to say I have an understanding of the terror dementia can induce in people.

Met with my doctor Wednesday morning for my regular appointment. Most of the time was taken up with discussion of the last 6 weeks and the events of the previous day. He diagnosed sleep deprivation and exhaustion. Took me off the 5HTP/Carbidopa for the next month and ordered me to get at least 8 hours sleep per night. Had been averaging about 4-5. Possibly too much serotonin but more likely lack of sleep.

Talked with my closest work friend who told me she noticed the gradual onset of confusion, forgetfulness, etc. over the past 6 weeks. (Wish she had asked me about it but that doesn't matter now.) Told her what my doctor said. She agreed to keep me updated on her observations for the next month. She's also a close friend of the boss and yes, I am careful what I tell her.

Boss is on vacation this coming week. Before we shut down on Friday we had a meeting wherein she gave me my instructions/directions for the coming week. Then she gave me a lecture related to an incident from way back in March and told me she did not want any "stupid phone calls" from me (see below). Almost did not have Monday off for the 4th holiday...asked the boss if she wanted me to come in on Monday and she asked if I had plans. Told her I had not planned to go out of town but planned to have the day off because we did last year and because the courts, etc. are closed. She mumbled something like she had not planned for me to be off and I told her if she wanted me to be there I would. Then she decided since everything was going to be closed we'd just consider it a paid holiday.

I think she has just put or reactivated some monitoring/tracking/blocking software or something on my office computer. (One of her previous assistants spent the boss's vacation week online playing games, shopping and job searching.) In the year I have been there the boss has never been on my computer. We are networked so there is really no need for her to use my machine. When I get to work in the morning I open our legal software, check office email, check online court calendars and check our bank accounts online for automatic debits. I go to the court calendars and bank account from the address toolbar dropdown thingy and the same things are always there. Except for Friday morning - on Friday I noticed the last address on that thing was the homepage for our broadband service. I never type that in because I have a shortcut on my desktop to go to the email account. I have nothing to fear from this software because I don't web surf during the day. I check my personal email at lunch and right before I leave but I won't be doing that now - not a big deal. If she wants to track then go for it - I have nothing to hide.

I cut the boss a lot of slack. She has not had an entire week off for nearly 2 years. Also a lot of really bad stuff has happened in her world over the past couple of years: her house burned to the ground killing her beloved parrot (space heater for the bird caused the fire); husband is jerk; daughter going away to college; caseload at work getting heavy and previous assistants have been unreliable; and until recently she was the only income in her family because her husband (an engineer) lost his job in the meltdown. Loads of pressure on her.

Here's what happened in March: On a Friday, naturally, a client caused a huge ruckus at the courthouse that spilled over into our office. The worst had already happened before it landed on my doorstep yet none of that mattered to her. My sin was that I had placed 2 calls to the boss who told me the day before she would be "out of the office" that day. Could not get her on phone. Turned out she had gone out of town, no cell phone signal and no phone where she was. I am no genius by any stretch of the imagination but I do know the difference between "out of the office" and "out of town." I did not learn she was out of town until the following Monday when she came in from Court, asked me to tell her what happened on Friday and then blasted me with both barrells and then threw the empty gun at me. Left me with the distinct impression she lacked confidence in me and my abilities.

Waffle-House

For a while ALL of the Waffle House locations here in Charlotte had really really low health inspection scores. In fact, the one closest to where I live was shut down by the Health Dept. for violations in 2007. According to the news story: "The Waffle House on South Blvd was closed by the health department after receiving a 59 on their sanitation grade. They recently received an 86, requested reinspection, and then received an 80. The followup to that one was the 59 that shut them down (anything below a 70 automatically closes the establishment). The health dept said it was the worst score they can remember in Charlotte. Infractions included poor employee hygiene, and live and dead roaches."
