Hi Ya!

Isn’t that a great title, but between you and I that is about all I got.  How is everybody?  Since the last time I blogged I am feeling a million times better.  Amazing what sleep, no over time, the right meds and a better diet can do for a girl.
I am back at the other house at work and things are fine.  Nothing really changes there to much.  But people welcomed me back warmly and I appreciate that.
Today is my off day so I came up to my folks for a nice breakfast and to do some toe nails.  I must say I did well, no blood and only made Momma jump once.  But toe nails were flying all over the place.  We even joked about the landing in my ma’s coffee.
Ok.  So I was driving up here on this beautiful day and just singing away with the radio and the next thing I know I was pulling into the driveway at work.  And I thought what the F***?  I went on auto pilot and drove right past M-15 to work.  Duh!  So I called my dad said I was going to be a little late and turned around!  The hair maybe brown but the roots have to have some blond.
I have an appointment with the counselor this afternoon and then I am free to do what I want.  Which will be laundry, times with my pets and the book my mom let me borrow!  Take Care Everybody!

Wow!  It’s been a while.  I have been busy.  Too busy.  So busy that I lost my marbles for a while.  I don’t have time to go into all the details but I will give u an idea of what’s up.  I transfered again to another group home in the company with a promotion.  I was there less then two weeks.  I handle a lot of things well, but I found out I have a hard time with consumers who self abuse.  So I requested a transfer back to the other home.  At first I felt like a big huge failure, but the more I look at it the more I know I did the right thing.  So the promotion went to a very deserving co-worker that I adore and I am happy for him.  I guess management just isn’t for me. 
The medical result was the blood pressure went sky high and I cried for days.  So I went to the med doctor and the head doctor.  I got my mental meds increased and I am not going to do any overtime for the month of September because I am just burnt out!  The head doctor wants me to keep on telling myself “I work to live, not live to work.”  And I need to learn what I like to do besides work.  I got a couple.  Blog, read, swim and drive.  I know there are more buy I have to sit down and think about it
So that’s about it in a nut shell.  Hope to be back on-line soon from home!  Take Care!

My Ride!

Okay I pulled up my big girl panties and got myself a newer car.  Yes I said car.  After 21 years of driving trucks I have bought a Buick Century. 

Size view picture taken by Momma.

Front picture taken by Momma of me and the car.
Every time I walk up to it I say “I bought a car!” in an amazed or dazed tone.  But its a roomy boat with very good gas mileage compared to my truck.  So that’s my ride.  Now all I need to do it put my Bitch with Attitude plate on the front and it will be truly mine.

Greetings friends!  I’m at my folks house and I am taking a few minutes to catch up with you all. 
Lets see first of all 37 is great! Thanks to everybody that sent me warm birthday wishes.  It’s nice to be loved and have all of you to love.  I feel 37 is going to be a great year for me.
Today marks the end of the first month at my new group home.  I am settling nicely.  I adore my ladies and the staff are great.  My phone doesn’t go off 25 times a shift and my chest doesn’t tighten when I walk in the door.  I miss my guys and some of the old staff at my old home, but it was the right move for me.
My truck is dying and I am still struggling with the decision to buy a new truck or fix mine. So next Tuesday I am going to have my truck looked at and get the bad news.  Depending on what needs to be fixed I may end up getting a new one, but I hate the idea of a payment.
Then once I get that mess straighten away I will work on getting the Internet back so we can visit more often.
Had to pause a minute to pee and do fold some laundry.  I have a washer and dryer, but i wanted to come visit so in order to do that I had to bring the clothes or tomorrow I will be walking around in dirty clothes.
Other then that life is pretty normal for me I work and I sleep and pee.  So I hope to be up and running from my house in a month!  Take Care all!

Cindy’s Off-line

Hi All
As Cindy’s official post-er of the moment I am dropping in to let y’all know that she will be offline till she can catch up on the cable bill that will let her get back online.
Yes, this is what she has told me to say.

She had a GREAT day today – the day after her birthday – her “adopted” Big Sis and hubby (that would be me & my hubby) came over to make her a luncheon of home-made spaghetti and chicken parmigiana (her request) which we ate along with her longtime “adopted” Poppa.  The day continued as Momma & Daddy (aka Jay’s Jammin) came over in the afternoon and brought delicious burgers on onion buns and an out of this world home made potato salad (must get the recipe), which made for a tasty supper.  That was topped off with a good tasting birthday cake.  I am sure that Momma will post pictures of the event on her blog as she was happily snapping pictures of everyone – and yes, we got one of her and the birthday girl too.

So keep checking back here to see when Cindy is back online again or she has me update y’all on what is going on.

Doctor Says there…

Doctor says there is liquid on the knee and it needs to be tapped.  Going to see specialist on Thursday to see if he agrees and get this sucker taken care of.  Then of course back to work and the need to lose weight just increased again.  I tried to bargain with God today.  I said God if i don”t have to have surgery i will bust my butt to get this weight off.  I know a prayer should just be a prayer so i switched to God please help.  I don’t think I could handle surgery right now.  And help me to lose the weight so this doesn’t happen again.  I know the old saying God doesn’t give us more then we can handle.  I hope God is just trying to give me a wake up call.

Please Sir May Have Another?

Another what?  Another fucking knee!!!  One that doesn’t make me want to scream when I stand up.  One that feels as good bent as it does straight.  One that isn’t swollen and pissing me off.  Thanks.  I think I will sleep and I expect delivery in the morning!!!! 

Happy Father’s Day!

When I go up to my folks house my Daddy and I have something of a ritual that we do when I leave.  Because I have not had a horn on my truck in years I can’t honk as I leave so I yell out the window “Beep, Beep.”  My Daddy and sometimes my Momma “beep, beep” back or honk the horn of their truck.  It is like the final I love you and take care.  What I wish I was doing today was spending the day with my folks and getting to say my Father’s Day beep, beep in person.  But I have to work and since I am new to the home I am not going to start asking for time off yet.  So to my Daddy I say Happy Father’s Day and beep, beep.  Sorry I missed you yesterday!  Love ya!

And to all the father I know and love Happy Father’s Day.  And to those I lost you are remembered today!!

feeling blessed.  Why?  Another day at work where I came home RELAXED, laughing with only sore ankles and feet.  No upset stomach, no killer headache and no tightness in my chest.  Tonight I did a med appointment, dishes and watched one of my girls play softball.  She managed a run!!  I was so happy for her.  I met her family and the juries still out on how that went.  I think I did fine, but guardians sometimes don’t like me. 
So now I am going to chill until the pain pill starts to work and then I am going to sleep.  Night all!  Hope You all are well.
