come to the dork side LOL x forever
my sister has been battling bronchitis for months now - on and off again. she was coming down this weekend and i told her to stay at home and rest! it's almost a 5 hours drive down to just turn around sunday at noon and drive back. are we worth it? yep. is her health worth more. yes yes yes!!!!!
i still am not up to par - blast it all. i did, however, make a run to the grocery. i was out of dog food!!!!!! can't have that - no way!!!!!! mama offered to go to the store for me. while i appreciate it - nope, no way, not going to happen. we'd end up in a fight via cell phone over what kind of dog food she's supposed to buy, what kind of milk i need, blah blah blah. i just beat the rain too! lucky me!!!!!
i fell asleep again last night with the tv on. when i woke up i researched a product called "no no" - it's some kind of hair remover thing that's priced way over the top. yet the urge to purchase it was strong UNTIL i read customer reviews LOL infomercials = evil LOL x forever
it's hot and humid - sticky - today. i don't know if it will rain all day. i'll miss sitting outside in the sun.
i am so over being angry at pool guy. i was over being angry when i saw him drive up. it was residual anger that i embarrassed myself with. go figure duhhhhh but i am getting a bit better - maybe - with anger issues? who knows - obviously not me LOL and so much of my anger is like what was pointed out in another post - pool guy doesn't have a chance because i've been let down so many times by repairmen.
for now the pool is beautiful. everything outside is simply beautiful - so green and lush. and know what? it's good that it's raining. my yard really needs it!!!!! how positive am i? LOL
hope if your world spins today it's because you're as happy as if you have good sense!!!!!!!!!!!!
life is good - and it's a long post!

I went 2 hours on Friday, 4 hours on Saturday and 7 hours on Sunday at the Expo, AND I MADE IT !!!!!!! I didn't blackout or die ! I was worried though because the freight elevators weren't working so the ambulance guys couldn't get the rolly bed up to the 3rd floor where I was. However, I didn't need the rolly bed because I was fine. The room spun a little bit, but I breathed my way thru it and there were people talking to me all the time so the time went by fast. After it was done, I stuck around to pack stuff back up (which took about 2-3 hours.) Once I started moving around packing stuff up, I was better than fine. It was neat because the main windows in the room (floor to ceiling and all the way across) all looked out over the walking path at the river. It kept reminding me to get out and exercise on the riverwalk. It got to 80 deg here this weekend. It was beautiful ! It's raining now, but the grass and plants need it BAD !
Forever Young - complete freedom takes a lot of work. Chip away at it and eventually you will get there ! We're all cheering you on !!!!!

hello all!!!!!!!!!!
man of mine - i was afraid you were still tilting at the building - not unlike don quixote LOL instead you were winning your battle. i couldn't be happier for you!!!! it rained here over a lot of the weekend. like you, we so needed it! it rained around 4-5 this afternoon, then the sun and blue skies were just shining away. mama and i walked around the lake twice. it won't be too long before we're huffing and puffing because it will be hotter and more humid that you can possibly imagine! the front that came thru saturday brought a 60 degree night. yesterday i was able to sit in the sun for a bit and do some yard work out back. i didn't dive into the pool until it was later and very overcast. i can now say i'm pretty much a member of the polar bear club LOL at myself
forever young - sooner than not you'll achieve total freedom. i certainly don't have total freedom and that's ok with me. i can get myself to the store and to work and go here and there alone. that is more than i ever dreamed. not being a self-visionary, i couldn't see any light at the end of my tunnel!!!!
i had to work today. it amazes me that the school district doesn't give memorial day as a holiday. it was strange driving into work with just a couple of cars. kind of a post-apocaleptic feeling. my boss was surprised i was there - she thought her entire staff had taken the day off. i told her since i was out thursday and friday afternoon sick it just didn't feel right to me to take a vacation day. anyway, i'm pretty much saving them for when i really really x infinity need a break.
again, man of mine, i bow and doff my hat to you!
rock on!!!!!!!

Finally, I'm all moved to a new state! Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me in moving forward in my life and to start over new.
I would appreciate prayers for finding a job. I've been asking God to help me find a job that will be glorifying to Him and to make me a better witness of His Love.
Hope this post finds all of you fighting the good fight and overcoming your depression/anxiety. This blog has always lifted my spirits! So keep those posts coming!
Take Care & God Bless - Tammy

it's good to have you back, tammy. hoping the move went well and you find the job you want!
i had an interesting comment made to me at work today - from one of the top people in the system - head of HR. he said he didn't know what i was up to but i sure looked great. he didn't mean it as a come on or anything tacky. in fact, he followed that with the question "did you quit smoking?" nope.
i've thought about that remark on and off all day and finally figured it out. the reason i look different at work is because i'm NOT BEING BULLIED ANYMORE. i have every intention of telling him what my life was like for so many years THERE being BULLIED by my ex-boss and by things 1 and 2 before it was finally stopped. i know in my heart there are 2 reasons this boss put a stop to the BULLY behavior i endured daily. one, she finally saw that nothing me or anyone else could do would make them happy; and 2, their behavior starting impacting her and making her life a living hell too.
i honestly think HR needs to know the impact BULLYING has on people. even MORE, if i endured that behavior as an adult in the work place, imagine what's going on out there in the schools? that needs to be addressed to the nth degree x infinity!!!!!
ok - i've stood on my platform long enough - it's time for me to go to bed now LOL
i hope everyone had a great day!!!!!
rock on, my friends!!!!!

BRAVO KARMA BRAVO !!!! Now THAT'S a stand on something !
I completely agree with the fact that they need to do more in schools before they let the "little darlings" out in the workforce. I always thought that bullying was just a grade school thing until I got into the workforce. It can actually be worse because most adults know more words and most adults have had a life time of practice. However as adults, most of us have a higher tolerance level. What's even worse is when it's the "boss" that does the bullying (I put boss in quotes because he/she really isn't a boss when they act like that).
This week has been a real quiet week. Not much going on. I like these uneventful weeks. I wish there were more of them.
Mrs T Bones - Sometimes the off balance feeling happens on the riverwalk, but I think that since I'm moving at a pretty high speed, the panic attacks come and go quickly. I think the other walkers might get a little upset if I grabbed into them (although I bet that some of them would actually understand !)

i may or may not have made a big mistake at work. i'll figure it out in the next couple of days - and if i did make the mistake - will take measures to correct it. yes, it is something that can be corrected. will i own to my boss i made a mistake? you bet your boots i will. will i try to blame it on anyone else? nope. the mistake i may or may not have made came to my attention mid-afternoon. all i could say was no no no no no no no to infinity.
on the positive side - if there is one? - am i obsessing about it right now? not to the degree i'm making myself sick - that's a good thing!
on the way home from work i stopped to get gas. thankfully, my mechanic is next door. i locked my keys in the car. the back window was down just enough for me to squeeze my arm through to unlock the door - but then i couldn't get my arm out - stuck at the elbow. i called to one of the mechanics for help. he asked if i'd locked myself out of the car - i said look at my arm. he opened the now unlocked back door - climbed in and lurched forward to turn the car on so he could roll the window down. all i said was my entire day has been like this. he was laughing and shaking his head as he went on his way.
the funny/sad part is i wasn't even embarrassed LOL i was just surprised i didn't have to gnaw through my arm to get home, grab mama, and get to my sister in law's birthday party at some mexican restaurant where i ate things not on my diet and now feel icky!!!!!
so now i'm finally back at home - my haven! and honestly i can't wait to get to work tomorrow to start unraveling whatever it is i may or may not have done!!!!
on that note - rock and roll my friends!!!!

Karma ! You gave me a new visual to laugh at ! LOL THANKS ! LOLOLOL
I think the most embarrassing thing I did was at my last job. I had driven a car since I was 16. 10 years ago, I bought a truck for the first time. The door on a truck is higher than a car. I was at my last job when the unthinkable happened. I got out of the truck and I shut the truck door on my head. When I used to shut the car door, I'd have to bend a bit. I bent the same way to shut the truck door and WHAMMMMMM! I had to go into work and get a towel for my head, therefore I had to explain what happened. It seems that 3 other people I worked with has done the same thing. They still found it really funny though.
So, were you able to fix what happened at work ?
Forever Young - enjoy the pool !
I'm going to have a weekend that consists of doing nothing ! I decided that I'm going to burn out the remote for the TV today. If I feel like taking a nap, I'm going to. If I feel like going for my walk, I'm going to. I'm not putting myself on a schedule this weekend.
Have an excellent weekend all !
