September 29, 2016...


   So today I made it through the day despite being super tired. I don't know what to do to be getting more energy but I wish I could figure it out.   I need to go pick up some prescriptions, and Im putting that off. I need to work out and I'm putting that off, I need to water my flowers and weed my flower beds but I just really don't want to do anything but lay around and wait for bedtime to arrive
   Thank god tomorrow is Friday though and we still get the weekends off. (So far)  My love is out of town for the night so I need to go spend some girl time with J. Right now she is watching her show on Netflix. Dinner is cooking and I need to get that in the oven and then go get the prescriptions. ugh... maybe I should try the delivery thing again... it would be cheaper... and I wouldn't have to leave the comfort of my home.   Hmmmmm maybe maybe I should just give them a second chance.
    First I need to remember to get the Dr. apt.  That is a definite must. I was supposed to go months ago but I really don't want to go. I tire of going to the doctor and paying the co pays and having my dosage messed with for the millionth time not to feel any better and sometimes worse.

September 22, 2016........


     The weather has taken a drastic turn for the worse. Todays high, rather than the normal 90s, was
79 degrees. I think by the time I got home from therapy it had dropped dramatically except the wind had picked up so it could have just been the wind chill. I'm still waiting for any good rain. So far there has just been sprinkling.
      I got myself all worked up over traffic but I really just can't stand stupid drivers. People are driving down the freeway, in stop and go traffic, checking out their phones. Taking selfies. Texting. Doing there makeup. When I finally get in a lane that is moving I am cut off by people crossing the double lines out of the carpool lane. People driving in the passing lane going 50 so the people actually trying to pass have to get around that person as well.
      Then there are the people who are riding my ass when there is clearly no place for me to go. Really people I want out as much as you but you don't need to hitch a ride. I'm stressed out enough. It just puts me in a really bad mood. They act like they are doing the world a favor by going slow when in reality we are all trying not to die getting around them so we don't get hit from behind. Then of course are my absolute favorite people.  The ones who get in the straight only lane and regardless of signs, and the fact the rest of us have waited patiently to be in the turning lane, they just turn right into you giving you no choice but to let them in and hold up everyone and cause those of us obeying the laws to get backed up have to wait longer. Rant over....
      Work was pretty busy all day. I was really, really glad when two o'clock came around and I could finally vacate the premises. I really need to decide what my passion is because I'm so tired of hating my job. I don't like always wondering what the day will bring. I want to know like I used to. I want to go in and enjoy being there like I used to.
     Home is good. Other than K always and forever thinking I am obligated to pick him up. It's right up the road for god's sake why can he not just walk?!?!!  I used to walk all over the place. If I didn't want to walk I took the bus. I didn't get my first car until I was 23 and pregnant with my first kid. He has lived here for 2 years and hasn't saved anything for a car, or a place of his own. ugh.. he'll be here forever
      I'm on one today.. better go try and make myself calm down.

September 21, 2016...


   Bad headache today. By 1030 it had gotten so miserable that it was making my stomach hurt and I
kept feeling nauseous and left at 1100. I put in vacation so will still get paid. It was boring and I really wanted to come home. I'm so tired and I wanted to get some things done. Plus I don't have to get J today because she goes with the donor.  I am already in my jammie bottoms and a tank and I don't know if I want to decorate for Halloween, or take a nap.  Either way I should probably get some
laundry going because J's laundry basket is full and so is mine. Probably 2 loads. I suddenly really love to do laundry.  I'm sure it's because I have my house back to myself. Yay!!
    K is still the only one living here although B is always needing money and we keep getting more and more bills coming in. I'm so tired of bills. I'm also so tired of having no money left after I pay them.
    Today is still really warm but there is a storm coming in and it's supposed to get into the 50's. I really was not prepared for it to be that cold for fall this year. I mean it just started. You would think it would be in the 70's not the 50's. Well onward to Halloween and the rest of the holidays I guess. My least favorite part of the year is Nov - Jan.  I only make it through February because I have to be excited for my kids birthdays and I know spring is coming and it won't be snowing much longer. I prefer when we get an early spring and don't have to wear coats anymore by this time. Spring and Summer are my favorite. The world wakes up again.
    I think perhaps I'll start that laundry, drag some Halloween down from the Attack and then climb into bed and watch a movie. (I'll probably fall asleep and not actually see the movie) So I'll just watch something I've already seen. Like Anabelle, or Exorcist.. Need to start getting my scare on. I haven't appreciated Halloween for awhile so I'm gonna try this year. We are not going trick or treating. J wants to stay home and hand out candy and scare the kids that are older. She loves giving the little kids candy and seeing their costumes. (I think she gets that from my mother because I hate giving out the candy. I used to make T do it.)
    Trying to decide if I want to be a witch, a wicked clown, or a zombie for Halloween. We may have a costume party the Saturday before Halloween which is on a Monday this year. All the more reason to stay home. I also saw some cute couples costumes .. peanut butter and jelly sandwich, mustard & ketchup, and bacon and eggs. They were cute. Then there is always the pregnant nun and priest, or the hooker and her pimp.  All good couple costumes. Love this holiday!

September 20, 2016...


    Home fresh from work and I have to stare at my screen for several minutes to remember what the date is. (yes I know its on the task bar but I was just blank staring the page.)  ha ha Fun! Anyway I made it through another full shift and am hoping that I can leave all the madness of being sick behind me now. Work was good it was fairly busy and we all got along really well.  There was an open house for hiring and also a tour with one of the banks. I left at two and missed it all. I hope it was the party they had planned.
    Tomorrow everything should be back to normal and we can all get on with the week. Wednesday is upon us and I can already see the weekend. I'm hoping it's not as busy as the last one was.  I hung with the girl Friday night and we did some scrapbooking. Saturday we went to see Tarzan (thought it was really good but was disappointed there wasn't more help from the different animals, you don't see the animals as much as you would like to really.) That same night I had date night with my love and we went to the house of an old friends/neighbors of my love.  There was James giving live entertainment and he rocked. Then his friend was so cute, every time she stepped out the door and heard the music her face would light up and she would start dancing with whatever she happened to be carrying, the crock pot, a bag of chips, bowls of corn, the food was divine. Dinner and a show and dancing $5.00 a head. It was well worth it. Apparently we were such a hit we are now going to be getting invited to game night. Yay, game night!!  I haven't been invited to a game night in what seems to be forever.
     Fall is coming quickly. I'm excited and sad at the same time, just like every year. I love the dry roads but the fall colors and cooler temps are good and it's the beginning of the holiday season, so that's good to. Halloween if I haven't mentioned is my favorite holiday ever. Then Thanksgiving and Christmas are tied for second.  I have already began to decorate my house and I can't wait to pull it all out and go crazy. YAY!
   Sunday we went to the Carmelite Festival again. I'm not sure if it's a fair or a festival but it feels more like a festival to me so that's what I call it. It is to raise money for the nun and they sell a ton of great stuff. Hand made quilts and blankets. Hats, scarves and mittens. There is all kinds of jams and jellies and caramels and peanut brittle. There was bouncy toys for the little kids and games they could play for tickets but the pickings in prizes were not very interesting. The girl got play makeup and two pair of earrings. We had both tamales and rice & beans, and an oriental meal that was also delicious.  There is also a bagpipe band complete with female dancers also wearing kilts doing so great dances to the bagpipes. We had a lot of fun but I felt like I needed a weekend home just to recover from the weekend I had already had. That hasn't happened in a long time though so I'm not gonna complain.

September 15, 2016...


    Well here we are already half way through September and I'm just now starting to get back to normal size checks at work.  Feeling good enough to make it through the day at work. Now if only I could get some energy.  I always feel so sluggish and tired. My body is always aching and my mind is always fuzzy.
    Enough complaining, the weather is getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change color and it is fall. Well next week technically but I'm still so excited to be decorating for Halloween and then for Thanksgiving. Even though the end of the year is so expensive and busy with parties and family and visiting friends, I really do enjoy it and I'm especially glad we kick it all off with Halloween! My favorite!!
    We are still needing to get K to get a place of his own but otherwise things around here are pretty peaceful and quiet. I have my craft room back and have started scrapbooking already. I have really missed it and will really enjoy it when I get my supplies all stocked up and new albums to fill. I love it, it makes me so happy to just lose myself in the scrapbooking.
    Need to start working out.  Haven't really done much, but lately I've been trying not to eat any sweets after seven. I have also been picking up my weights now and then but not as much as I should. I really want to get fit again.  I felt so much better about myself when I didn't have this fat gut looking at me all the time.
   T got a full time job in the deli at Safeway by his Dads house in Salem. He was pretty excited and I am pretty excited for him. Hopefully soon he can start helping with his phone again. I don't know if he still has his account and can transfer money or if he would have to send a check.  hmmmm better talk to him about it. k won't be happy when I tell him he needs to start paying for his own. Oh well you have to grow up sometime.

September 7, 2016...


    Love it when I feel good and make it through the entire shift at work.  That was the case today. I am home now, about to go continue on the scrapbook fest. Maybe throw in some laundry. Who knows. L isn't there to set me off anymore ha ha
   My love and L went out of town for a couple days. Off to Moab to work. T seems to be doing well in Oregon so far and B is loving school so far. Now if only I could get K out my basement and out on his own. I'm starting to wonder if he'll ever be able to make it on his own. We will have to see. I think it's going to take something drastic to get him out.
    The week is already half over and its our weekend without the grill. We have the Black Sabbath concert on Sunday night. I've been waiting for awhile for that to come up. We've had the tickets so long I sometimes forget we have them. The my love and I may attend the fair happening Saturday up the street from our house.   Or maybe we'll stay in bed and sleep the weekend away in each others arms. That's nice too.

September 6, 2016...


   I feel like the month has already taken off at break neck speed, already the 6th.. Wow! I worked my entire shift today and it was not bad. I got a lot of reading done which I'm kindof confused on the book I'm reading but it was still entertaining.  
   Started getting out my craft stuff and organizing it so I can start scrapbooking again. I'm so excited to get them all caught up and be able to scrap pages with my love and I.   It's funner to do the pages when you actually like the people in them.
    I have so many pictures to go through and get scrapped. I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!!  My love is already wondering if he's ever going to see me again.  I told him of course, as long as you come visit me down here!  ha ha
    Other than that our weekend was busy with cleaning and we didn't really relax. This coming weekend seems like it will be the same way. We have a concert on Sunday night and Saturday there
is a fair going on up the street we thought we would go check it out.  No kids this coming weekend so I guess I may get more relaxing done regardless. I hope.
