What in the world did I do to get a ZIT on the tip of my nose?

Sometimes nothing at all. ZITS have a mind all of their own and show up when and where we least expect or want them! |

Agree with you, Orema.
The world is spinning off its axis....:( |
My stepdaughter. We are trying yet AGAIN to convince her to go into treatment for her drug and alcohol addiction. I’m trying my best to be patient and understanding, sympathetic, etc. However, I also have a ton of other stuff going on and don’t really need this drama right now. I keep telling my spouse if her daughter doesn’t WANT to get her life together then there is no point in begging and pleading with her. We’ve had intervention after intervention and I’m wore out.

Most of my activism is with disability and so mental health after the shootings, but today a young woman expressed her own rage and pain about her disability and toward other people (ie why can’t she save the world?). She’s on my mind right now. I’m worried about her.

My spouse’s oldest daughter that we found out has liver cancer. My poor spouse who is devastated. She already has enough on her plate being disabled like she is, then having to deal with her daughter here with her addictions, and now the oldest has cancer. Life just really sucks sometimes.....

Deciding whether or not to go out tonight.

Its a good day to be present. not the future, nor the past. It's all about now.
And about now, I'm tending to that stupid packing tape thing. I'm tangled and so far, cut myself once. |
Mostly the ebb and flow of life. I’m feeling rather introspective today thanks to a good heart-to-heart with a dear friend last night. We both seem to be at a place where we need to take a look in the mirror and then give ourselves a good kick in the ass.
I’m going to leave this here for anyone else who might need it.... “We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid that it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity… Intermittency—an impossible lesson for human beings to learn… Perhaps this is the most important thing: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid…. One must accept the security of ebb and flow, of intermittency.” - Anne Morrow Lindbergh |

The loss of the local entrepreneur is on my mind these days. I went to have my car serviced today. The "local" dealer is part of a regional conglomerate which translates into better deals on new vehicles but negatively affects service. I rarely see the same service advisor twice. The turn over both in service and sales is about 95% every 6 months. They now have centralized scheduling for appointments ( a call center by any other name is still a call center). This is fine if you just want an oil change or need an inspection sticker. If you are having a problem, it is a different story. And, based on todays visit, I am gathering they are running out of service advisors who actually know something about cars. A service advisor should know more than me about cars. Todays order taker was pleasant but clueless. The service manager, who also does not look familiar, resorted to mansplaining my car to me. It didn't turn out well. LOL. I learned my dentist sold his practice to a conglomerate out of the midwest. Not sure how this works. He is still my dentist. The practice name didnt change but I expect the overall financing did. This would explain why I cannot get a refund for being wrongly charged for something. I keep changing veterinarians because they keep being bought out and now like to order unnecessary tests and xrays, per the protocol, just to boost the bottom line aka the vet cannot exercise their own judgement based on their own experience. I am really not liking this. I like developing working relationships with the folks I use for things. I like seeing familiar faces, hearing familiar voices, and feeling confident in the professionals I use. |
Two of my customers are on my mind tonight. One just lost her mother and is trying to find a way to live her life without her best friend and the other is homeless, living in his truck, but refuses to do anything to help himself.
