Orema, sounds like you have been handling yourself well under extreme pressure ... infinitely better than I do. I usually invite him (it is always a male) to join me in a little excursion to the warehouse. I then chew him out.
Hugs to you, sweet lady! |

That I should have taken out the trash sooner, so to speak, when she decided to act like the victim all the time, when she allows herself to be controlled by someone else.

Yet another job change. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm grateful that companies want to hire me, but it has been quite a whirlwind in the job arena the last two years. I just want this one to be what it promises to be. I'm tired of getting wined and dined to find out that it's all bullshit.

On my mind
Etiquette.
I fear that etiquette and manners are being lost these days. Social etiquette Dinning etiquette Conversation etiquette There were rules on how to conduct yourself in social situations that seem to be disappearing. We the mentors, should set examples for appropriate social etiquette. |

[/quote] Have please, thank you, you're welcome, pardon me, excuse me, "go ahead, you were here first" even if it's a fib to someone obviously busier, holding too much, struggling with young kids, and one of my favorites, " I'm sorry" to someone accidently victim of a slight disappeared? How about phone ettiquette? Hello, no, may I take a message, hold a moment please, thank you and goodbye. People observing my immediate family are astonished at the formalities. Not formal, just polite...to the cats, too. If they've curled up in a common spot, like a chair, well, its theirs until they get up. If spot really wanted, there's always the offer of bribes like cat treats. But if they choose to stay in the spot, an alternate needs to be found by/for the human. Sure hope common courtesy can be resurrected! |

On my mind is that it's less than 18 months before the election in 2020.

J is on my mind. She has a growth, and had to have a biopsy. It's affecting her thyroid and they've decided it has to be removed. They're thinking they should be able to leave enough of her thyroid untouched for her to not have to be on on medication. Of course there's the chance that she will but her insurance will cover it and even if for some strange reason it wasn't covered the generic is really inexpensive. Anyhow the plan is to hold off on treatment until after the baby is born. Since they don't suspect cancer I'm not sure why she needed to have a biopsy. Maybe it's just a standard procedure thing, a case of being doubly cautious because she's pregnant.

I get anxious about school and have to constantly remind myself that I voluntarily signed up for this and it is temporary. Good lord... This current class has been intense and fast and soooo involved. But it is all good stuff. And with my field placement starting in a few months, with those 18 hours a week on top of my normal 50+ work hours and a class, I HAVE GOT to stop panicking myself. I know I will be fine and do well, but this ridiculous overwhelming feeling can be well... overwhelming sometimes.

I want to buy a welding machine right now. I have been reading a couple of welding books and have done a tremendous amount of research about them. I need to wait a little longer, make sure I get the one that will meet my needs without overkill. Think I will now begin putting in some calls to welders, get their collective opinions. This is going to be a real kick in the pants! Heh Heh!! Can barely wait for the fun to begin! Seriously, it will be so useful around here where I have lived the past three years. So many times a labor-saving project came to a standstill and I thought, "if only I had a welder ... "

On my mind
About 19 years ago I was in a committed relationship with an athlete. She was mostly a triathlon athletic. OMG, it was so much work for me. I had to get up early prepare her food and drinks, load the bikes, and her gear. Set up when we got to the event. Pump her up to do her best. And run around with a camera to catch her events.
One triathlon I wore myself out preparing her so she had to drive us home. Haha! One race I found a beer tent, haha! That was the best race for me. |

J - not even 3 months into it says she's experiencing morning sickness. I was fortunate and only had it for about six weeks total with my first son, not that early, and even then only the first three weeks of it were brutal. With my second I never had it at all. I hope this isn't a sign of an difficult pregnancy ahead capped off by a long, drawn out, excruciating labor.

I had to have my best buddy put to sleep this morning...my 17 year old tuxedo kitty. He was the sweetest, most gentle little cat that I have ever known. He had cancer, and his quality of life was diminishing rather quickly. As excruciating as it was to make the decision, it was time.
This was my first experience at having to have a pet euthanized, so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I was relieved at how peaceful it was and how quickly it went. He has always let me hold him on his back and cuddle him like a baby, and that is just how he went today...wrapped up in his fuzzy blanket, having his fur stroked. As soon as the vet administered the meds, his soft little head slowly fell over and rested on my chest. Couple of kisses on top, and that was it. He was at peace. I am going to miss him terribly...already do, but I am so very glad that I had that sweet, little fuzz muffin in my life. |
