I'm on vacation for the next two weeks. Yay!
My plan is to do work around the house and yard.
I looked at two other houses this morning then came home and worked in the yard for about 7 hours. I must have cut down 20 freaking honeysuckle shrubs. I'm so sick of having to cut those fuckers down every year.
My 14 year old nephew was with 2 friends. They were exchanging punches in the arm, playing I guess the way boys play.................until one of them got pissed and punched my nephew square in the middle of the chest. And I suppose the punch that hit my nephew came at just the wrong moment causing nephews heart to stop. My nephew said THAT DIDN'T HURT took a few steps backward and dropped to the ground.
He was resuscitated and is fine. His heart is good, no damage.......will have one last test just to be sure.....but has been given the okay to play freshman football...................
I found a pair of prescription glasses I lost last summer. They were practically brand new, and my favorite pair. While cutting the fucking Honeysuckles weeds I found the glasses half buried in the dirt under the deck. I soaked them in a pot of soapy water to clean them........and believe it or not, they don't have a scratch on them........ YAY!

saturday
My search for a new home continues.
I looked at a town house this morning.
I was pleasantly surprised. It was more spacious than I thought it would be and it's
on a very quiet dead end street. The bathrooms and kitchen are updated. Neighbors waved as we drove by. Daughter liked it, and the asking price was less than I had expected. I really liked it but still not sure about the whole condo town house type living....so
I'm looking at 2 other properties tomorrow.
Our hours at work are still cut.
They called me in this week though to do paper work and I've been filling in on others vacation days...so for the last month I've managed to get all of my hours ..........our census is almost where it needs to be to get our hours back...
I received my yearly work evaluation last week. It was great. Really, really great. The raise though sucked big time.
HAppY BIRTHDAY, BILLY!

shooting pool
I was headed out the door tonight to go to Walmarts for toiletries and such when oldest son called and asked if I wanted to join him and his girlfriend at the VFW. So I did..............Son and I played, as a team, 4 games of pool. We won all but one game.
I had 3 beers, a buzz, and listened to some great music while we played pool. It was fun!

I hate my life.
I don't like myself very much right now either.
It all feels so daunting.
I wish I could run away.

A co-worker was complicating a task at work that really isn't complicated. I started singing to her words from
Avril Lavigne - Complicated HD - YouTube
I was like.... .......... . WHY YOU HAVE TO GO AND MAKE THINGS SO COMPLICATED!!!!
She responded I'M frustrated! A couple others joined in and as we passsed each other in the hallway or at the desk we'd have to add to a mental list words that we might use on our job that rhymed with complicated....................................so AS WE PASSED EACH OTHER.............we'd say.... STRANGULATED OR INOCULATED DILATED CONSTIPATED LUBRICATED PENETRATED INFATUATED FABRICATED OVER SEDATED NAUSEATED CONCENTRATED UNAPPRECIATED EMACIATED ANTICIPATED EXAGGERATED EJACULATED EXCORIATED LACERATED EXUDATED DEVIATED EXTUBATED INTUBATED MANDATED MACERATED ASSOCIATED HERNIATED HALLUCINATED EVAPORATED ASPIRATED INEBRIATED FLUCTUATED EXFOLIATED DECAPITATED .....ELEVATED TERMINATED MASTURBATED................we cracked ourselves up! the frustration she felt dissipated.........

thursday
I took the day off work. I called in at 430 this morning then sat at the foot of the bed chit chatting with boyfriend. Threw my back out sneezing. It's been on the mend for a couple of days. I planted a few flowers this morning but had to stop when I had electric like shocks shooting down my legs.
I'm watching In Session waiting for the Motrin to help.
Boyfriend bought me a new computer for my birthday.
It's in the buffet.
I haven't used it yet because I like that it's brand new and not a piece of broken crap like the one I'm using now..........................plus it will be more fun to use it when my house is clean......and all my papers are organized..........and the world is a peaceful place to live........
My favorite computer of all time was my very first computer. It was a desk top computer that my brother-in-law at the time took out of a dumpster from behind a computer business. I think he took several computers from that dumpster.
He set the thing up for me and I had it for 10 years. I never had any security on it.........never had a bit of problem with it..........................ever. I referred to it as my 57 Chevy. It just kept running.
Boyfriend got me a new desk top and talked me into throwing my 57 Chevy away.
I wish I hadn't.
I've yet to have a computer as good as that one was.....
My work friend and her husband are in Myrtle Beach.
She called last night to say hello and fill me in on their vacation. While on the phone with her she told me her hair has been a mess from the humidity.........that it's a frizzy mess...........then she said (and i can't use quotation marks cause they're not working. So I will capitalize what she said.......except for the letters where capitals aren't working.} So this is what she said to me...............................................MY HAIR HAS BEEN SUCH A MESS SINCE WE'VE BEEN HERE. IT'S FRIZZY AND WILD. IT LOOKS LIKE YOURS LOOKS EVERYDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HASN'T BEEN COMBED FOR A WEEK. I SWEAR IT'S A FRIZZY MESS.
1. My hair is not a frizzy mess. It's curly. When it's humid outside, and at the end of the day, I may end up with a halo of curls.
2. I wash, condition, and comb my hair everyday.
3. I would never, ever, insult a friend like she did me.
D. I think Obama was brave to support gay marriage, especially in an election year. And I'm happy he does. It would have made my dead best friend happy.
He thought I had beautiful hair.

happy mother's day
I worked Mother's Day. Sons and their girlfriends had dinner with me and boyfriend on Friday. It was nice.
Daughter couldn't be there because she had to work.
WHen I got up for work on Mother's Day I found flowers and a card from her waiting for me on the kitchen counter. They're pretty.
I left flowers and a card on moms kitchen counter Friday because I knew I'd be working double shifts this past Saturday and Sunday. Mom and dad weren't home .......so I left the flowers for her to find when she arrived home.
Then I saw all the patients at my work who did not get visits from family on Mother's Day. I didn't want to be one of those people who don't take the time to see their mom. So on my way home from work I stopped in to see her. She was in bed watching Survivor. I laid next to her and we chit chatted for a bit.....I tired talking her in to allowing me to do something with some of the beautiful poetry she wrote ........whenever I bring it up though she gets nervous. So I pushed a little harder last night. She said to me that most of the work is hers but some of her work is borrowed.......lol.............. I read the cards she received from sisters, and checked out all her pretty flowers............gave her a big hug and kisses.......told her i love her..............................................................and i sat in the family room with dad and talked with him for awhile. He always has lots to say.......opinions on everything...... It's fun talking to him.
When I got home daughter and I hung out on the living room couch.........after she went to bed, Mr. Bojangles laid on me while I rested. I pet his head, cheeks, chin, and back............and i rubbed the tip of his tail between by index finger and thumb. His purr relaxed me. It's a pretty good drug.

tuesday
work sucked today. it sucked. i was tempted to throw in the towel. i was thinking just leave.....be done with it already, screw it, fuck it! and then i thought you need your pay check...do you really want to look for another job.......it will be the same crap no matter where you're working. plus some of my patients really like me.....they depend on me to be there...........i don't want to let them down...............tomorrow will be better, probably. ho hum......
tomorrow i'm removing the carpeting from my bedroom.
i have the original hardwood floors under the carpet.
when i bought new carpeting a year or so ago for the bedrooms upstairs i was shocked when the carpet men removed the old carpet and i got a look at the floors underneath. they were beautiful.
i'm hoping my bedroom floor is as pretty.
i also plan on buying a new queen size bed.
i have a king size bed. my bedroom is small. it feels claustrophobic when that big old bed............i hate it.

the condo is a penicillin lovers condo...................so much mold and crap growing..................the hunt continues..............
sunday
The latest development in my on again off again search for a new home is a condo I found for sale for 35 thousand bucks..................................................
EVERYTHING is wrong with it except the location, the price, the central air and furnace, and the wonderful little, really little patch of grass and patio that would be mine.
Did I mention the price.......................
So I buy it for say thirty thousand......dump twelve thousand into it...................................................................................I sell my house.............no longer have a mortgage..........no longer have to deal with a lawn, or worry about the up keep of a house........I'll no longer have to pay a water or sanitation bill, and my gas and electric bill will be cut by three fourths................................ in the end I come out ahead financially..........turn a dump into my castle,...........cut my hours at work, spend more time having fun.......and have more money to do it! Yeah so that's the latest.

monday
I quietly left the house this morning so as not to wake boyfriend. The lawn needed to be mowed. Boyfriend has been saying he was going to cut it. But it wasn't getting done.
I know he hasn't felt well. I also knew it needed to be cut. If he saw me go out to cut it he'd feel pressured to cut it even though he isn't feeling well. So he was sleeping. I was going to get it done.....no big deal.............he heard the lawn mower running and came outside as I ran over mulch.........it flew up and hit him.........he cursed.......I could hear his cursing.........not sure if it was directed at me or the mulch that was hitting him...........after I knew boyfriend was okay I just walked away and into the house. Fuck it is what I was thinking. Fuck it.
I laid down and took a 6 and a half hour nap. I was still tired from the double shift yesterday.......and then not being able to fall asleep until the early morning hour.
While I was sleeping boyfriend finished mowing the yard and made a pot of spaghetti and meatballs........and I guess at some point he went to the store for soft drinks.
Now he's sleeping.
I'm up and ready to go.............house is clean. The grass is cut.
I'll probably, FINALLY, plant the flowers son bought for me.
Apparently risk management was at work last week to audit our paper work................I hear we didn't do so well........that we did bad actually.
I'm not surprised.
I could help fix things. I see the problems. I know how to fix them.........I'm good at the stuff that needs to be done.............................but it's not like I can go to the people in charge and say I'm over my emotional whatever u call it and would love to be a part of your team again........would love to help fix the problems.
When you have an emotional WHATEVER it was.... you lose credibility I think.........................so I'm in the outs................doubtful I'll ever be part of the non outs again.................................
