I am not certain yet but I think I feel somewhat better.

My manager called my supervisor and I into a meeting into his office this morning. I was as nasty as ever, then we put things to bed. When nothing happens, nothing happens. My supervisor's little pathetic last minute last ditch efforts he was sure to display in front of our manager meant nothing to me and I informed him of the fact the horse left the barn a long time ago, the barn door had been locked behind him ... and to quit trying to throw peanuts at me expecting me to display anything but hostility.

The last thing I said to supervisor in front of my manager is to let's drop everything personal from this point on and stick to pure business. I do not need to share about my weekend, my dogs, etc. and I do not want to hear one thing about supervisor's personal life because I do not care. That was agreed upon. I can say I am very happy with that point.

That was a shit mess. I sure would gave hated to be my manager and sit through all my mud-flinging.

I'm feeling good today :balloon:

Wow y'all, butches are really out in the world being courteous and kind and respectful...

I'm... loving and cherishing butches on this fine day.

Tired....

We were up past 1 this morning enjoying the company of friends and family..

My sister said she was sore from laughing so much....it was a good night and an excellent reason to be tired :)

Feeling really good about one thing. A logging contractor and 3 of his work team showed up yesterday at my home. After walking all the 2+ acres, he has accepted my offer. He will cut down and haul off all my pine trees, plus scrape the bottom of my forest floor in exchange for the free wood. It will cost me nothing.

One thing, since I insisted it be done on weekends while I am home, he told me it will probably take him several months ... probably about 3 or 4 months. That is fine with me. This logging labor is wearing me out. I do not know how anyone does this type work as a full time job. I told the contractor he needed to go next door and get a few of my neighbors trees too. He said he would. I wanted to make sure she got in on this deal too. He wants us to tie that loud pink colored stretchy tape on the ones that are to be removed and was about to give me a few rolls.I told him thanks but I had already purchased numerous rolls for this particular task. He said he cannot start for a couple or so weeks, needs to get home, look at his schedule and find the work-in dates, then will get back with me.

This is such an enormous relief to me. Yes, it will be well into the spring, proably summer before it is all done. The copperhead and timber rattlesnakes will be present in full force but once I get all the pine trees and pine mulch, straw, cones,etc. gone ... I can do a much better job keeping the majority of the snakes off my property. Be easier for me to protect my dogs from them. My dogs' safety is the main and total reason for all this.

I will still have hardwood trees for shade but blowing leaves into a pile, then bagging and hauling away will be a stroll in the park compared to the physical labor I have to do with all these pine trees. They are pretty but "pretty" does not compensate in the least for the cyclic, hard, never-ending labor. I am getting off that merry-go-round! LOL!

Feeling
 

I feel happy and grateful for the folks that love me.

IM BLESSED!!!!!!

Ready to rock!

Sleepy and needing coffee. But excited to go to a seminar at school. It's Frederick Douglass' 200th birthday and we are honoring his life today.

Happy, excited, bubbly.....all the good stuff! Monday is a holiday and I took today off. Going to get the car washed then mani-pedi then driving up to Asheville for a long weekend. Made reservations to sit in a "salt cave" in hopes of clearing the very last dregs of this cough. The fact that the sun is *finally* out is just the sprinkles on the sundae!

Katniss~~

A bit mixed. Pleased that I've managed to get two thirds of one essay assignment done in an afternoon (just taking a quick tea break before going back and finishing it), but annoyed with myself because I could have got this done yesterday but didn't because I allowed myself to get distracted by silly stuff. Mildly dreading the other assignment I need to get done this week, which I shall be starting tomorrow unless I kill the rest of this one super-quickly. Sigh. Have to tell myself that the sooner I get it out of the way, the sooner I won't be dreading it! 8-}

With my fingers like usual..............:jester:

Feeling good! :)

I had been so pestered for awhile there, I just about couldn't stand being with me.

Tired still, a tad confused about my feelings and her feelings and what was said.

I lived in Asheville for over 3 years and never once went to the salt cave. I do, however, keep a salt lamp by my bedside table. Positive ions are a beautiful thing :)
