Cindyisms

You would think that after being away so long I would have something witty to say.  I got nothing.  Today was the Axsom and Jenkins Christmas and my husband and I are the last visitors.  It was a very calm Christmas here at the folk’s house.  Half of the family are sick and I’m just pooped.  Instead of being party animals we were road kill (thanks dad for that).  I mean everywhere you look peoples eyes were glazed over and some you wondered if you should poke them to see if they are still breathing.  But the important part was that we are altogether and it’s kind of rare these days.  Got some cool gifts and spent some time with my nephew and nieces.  It was Great!

How how about you all?  Tomorrow I will be spending the day working.  Meijer is making a great Christmas dinner for my residents and I.  Hope you all are happy, healthy and Santa brings you everything you want for Christmas.

But I wanted you all to know that I’m a live and still kicking.  Still running the home and it looks like I will be through January.  But I’m getting the hang of it now and I manage to get out of work before midnight.
I did work 77 hours last week and the week before that.  Nice little pay check, but hard on the body.

Visit with my other mother at the cemetary the other day.  I had this urgent need to go.  As if I had to see where she is buried before the snow hit.  I guess my gut was right because it snowed the next day.  Also visited a minute or two with Bill since I was in the area.

Other then that some more news here and there, but I’m just too tired to go into it.  Hope things are good for everyone.  Do you have your trees up yet?

A visit to you.  How much do I suck?  My husband and my ma are out hanging lights and I sit on my big ass typing.  Usually I would make some sort of effort to help, but I’ve been killing myself at work.  So I hope everyone can forgive me for my laziness.

Work is crazy.  Too much paper work, to many days when I don’t have enough staff and not enough money.  Granted I had thirty-one hours of overtime, but still I could use some more cash, couldn’t you?

How was your Thanksgiving?  I drove all the the place dropping of my residents at their destinations, fixed some Thanksgiving dinner and went home and past out.  Then on Friday when all those crazy people were out shopping I was working.  I had a sixteen hour day.

Other then that life is work and more work. 

First let me say Happy Thanksgiving to all in case I don’t make it back on before then. I hope you are all spending it with loved ones, eat lots and don’t throw up. I am working, all day and I said originally I might make dinner for my guys from scratch. Scratch that. Krogers here I come. One premade Thanksgiving dinner please.

Here is the reason why I’ve been away and why I won’t be attempting Thanksgiving dinner (other then I’m lazy): My boss is very ill and the powers that be haven’t seen fit to put a temporary manager in place. So We have our new resident (who is a handful) and we are short two staff. I have stepped in to keep the home running and with the help of the guys it’s been ok. But seeing that I am the least paid in the home it’s not going to continue without some form of compensation.

So those of you that are praying people please pray for my boss’s speedy recovery. Am I forgiven for missing a week? Again Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! To my family and far away friends I send my love. When someone burps out loud think of me.  

Good afternoon.  I have been awake 26 hours and so I’m feeling a bit loopy.

Some good news.  I’m going to be able to get my truck fixed (I think).  The bad news is that I will be working 80 hours next week to pay for it.  So it is a good bet I won’t be posting next week.  I would probably fall asleep on the key board and drool all over the place.  And you know the library would be really pissed if I mess up their keyboards.

Mom is trying to get Bob Seger tickets for us.  It’s been an adventure, but I’ll let her tell you all about it.  If she doe get them I’ll be paying her back because I wanted to get them, but I don’t get paid until next week.  It’s my present to her and myself for Christmas.  Who knows if this will be Bob’s last tour and we’ve never been, but love his music.

Had basic health today and it went really well.  Partially because almost every illness that we discussed a parent has had so I was already well informed.  I had to call and thank my parents for that.  Mom got a kick out of that.

Well freinds I have to be back at work in ten hours so I’m going home to bed.  Take Care all.  Maybe I’ll type at you mid week, but only if I can stay awake and not drool!

I swear. That’s why I didn’t write last week. I slept, worked, ate, threw up, slept and then switched to jell-o for the remainder of my illness. Other wise wild horses wouldn’t have kept me away. Though a hot guy holding a bag of Oreos and I would have been history!

Okay so lets see...Hmm...Trying to think of something to chat about that doesn’t involve snot...Yes! I got a new phone. Yep, the old one that I dropped not only was it hard to hear, but it didn’t always hang up when I hung up so I was burning through minutes. So I went to Cingular told them what I wanted, how much I had and they worked with me. I still have my camera phone which I like. And free nights and weekends. So I’m happy.

There still isn’t a single decoration up at my house. That shows you I was sick. That’s what I’m doing this afternoon. And I need to go get some treats. Saw the Great Pumpkin special the other night, I still love that!! Need to carve my pumpkin today too. Wonder what I’m going to do?

Puppy had a bout of something. Thought it was the same crap we almost lost him from last February, he threw up and couldn’t keep food down the first night. He ate some grass, drank lots of water and he is feeling better. Been waiting for him to poop for a couple of days. He did that this morning! I was thrilled. Sad when dog poop makes a girl happy, but at least now I know he is better.

Other then that not too much happening. I have the next three days off so I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself. So that might mean s couple of posts this week if I can get creative! Take Care All!

And I know mostly it’s because I’m tired and I need sleep.  Then why the hell am I sitting in the library instead of home in my little bed?  Because I feel really cranky and I don’t think slee will come when I’m this hopped up.

Why am I cranky? Well lets start with I missed my antidepressent this morning becasue I forget to grab it as I was running out late to go training.  Then some chick is wearing enough perfume to kill a small village.  I got such a heachache from that.  Then when I go home I know that there are tons of things that need to be done and I just don’t want to do any of them.  AND I dropped my fucking phone on the floor at training the other day.  It still works, but it’s hard to hear what people are saying.  THEN yesterday I dropped a birthday present while walking down the stairs and ruined it.  CRAP!

So you know what I would love?  I would love to hear what’s good in your life right now.  I have good stuff too like my loved ones and even my job, but what’s good for you?

Look People I think this is either week two or three and I’m posting again! Maybe the dry spell has ended. Maybe just maybe I can keep this vow! Oh wouldn’t it be nice.

It takes about three weeks...I have been hearing that a lot lately. The doctor said that about the caffeine. He said if you can stay caffeine free for three weeks your in the clear. Three fucking weeks? I’m going to try again and keep on trying. But you know what is difficult about it? I run on caffeine. So I have to learn to sleep if I get tired instead of drinking a pop. Well if there is such thing as beauty sleep I should be pretty damn hot in a month. I’ve only been up since 11:00AM and I could use a nap. Please and thank you.

Three weeks is how long before the anti-depressants are supposed to work right to. I dunno I’ve been taking them for three days and I really don’t give a shit about to much of anything right now! But I know what he meant. He meant before I feel closer to normal. Of course I’m not sure what normal is for me anymore.

Three weeks is how long it’s going to get the water weight gone on the diet that I’m doing. For the next three weeks, every time I turn around I’m gonna have to pee! Like I didn’t pee enough before. My hands and feet are puffy and believe me the last thing I need it to look more puffy.

Three weeks is how long it will take to adjust to a daily exercise plan says the doctor. GRRREAT! He says once I get in the habit I’ll start enjoying it and not want to miss a day. I think he is mixing up exercise with sex. If excersing lead to orgasm I would believe him.

So in three weeks I should be off the caffeine, out of water weight, like to exercise and be in a better state of mind. I guess we’ll see!

At my local library there is a quilter’s club and they have made the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen.  It is being raffled off on November !5th. and I WANT IT BAAAD!  So each time I come to the library I buy a ticket.  I have bought four so far.  I wish I had about twenty bucks to piss away because I would buy twenty more tickets.  It’s black and green and beautiful.  Reminds me of the stuff my Great Grandma and Great Aunt used to do.  So keep your fingers crossed.  Maybe I’ll get lucky and win it!!

That is married to a man that thinks he has the right to go through her stuff.  Look at her personal thoughts in her journal, make assumptions about what he reads and then reacts to those assumptions.  I have a friend that used to write all the time but doesn’t anymore because it makes for to many fights when she writes things that her husband doesn’t like.  I have a friend that knows that her husband is being nosey and isn’t about to start another pissing contest over it.  I have a friend that isn’t happy and isn’t going to sitting around acting like she is.  Husbands my advice: IF YOU ARE THE NOSEY TYPE, KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF YOUR OLD LADIES BUSINESS.  IF SHE WANTS YOU TO KNOW SOMETHING SHE WILL TELL YOU.  YOU GOING THROUGH HER STUFF JUST PISSES HER OFF. 

Ladies: If you live with someone that is nosey don’t tolerate it.  Tell him to keep out of your shit or get the fuck out.
