Tomorrow. My sister and niece and I were supposed to spend the day together. But, plans have changed and my niece is going to take my sister somewhere for Mother's Day. So, that means I will be here hanging out - trying to remember to keep the good memories in the forefront of my mind and to also shed tears if I have too. However, I also know even though this is a day set aside to remember how special our Mom's are to us - every day was that day for me when my Mom was alive- I think on Mother's Day I just let her know a bit more than I did throughout the year.

What's On My Mind....
I need to cut ties with a Narcissist who is a family member.... sooner rather than later.
|
The healthcare organization that I work for updated the timekeeping and PTO system. Tomorrow is the first payday in the updated system. I think there will be glitches in the system and at least some of the staff that I supervise will have issues with the system which could mean incorrect direct deposits. I will spend the morning in the office making sure they are all set. I supervise 30 people and I am hoping the system will correctly pay them.

On your mind
The two hour conversation with my brother yesterday when I said what needed to be said for a long time. I think he needs anger management and he agreed instead of getting angry. His rages only hurts himself and he is really a gentle kind man who needs answers.
|
I have a tingling sensation in my neck that comes and goes. Got an ultrasound yesterday to see if it’s from a pinched nerve but they didn’t find anything. Saw a physician’s assistant a week or so ago and she doesn’t think it’s an indication of an oncoming aneurism or stroke. Wishing I could see my doctor in Cali. Not sure what I’ll do next.

I got news today that is going to affect work for a long time to come. I'm not sure how to unpack it, really. They are consolidating two stores into one. Mine is the largest so that will be the home store and the smaller store will be a satellite store that is only open 3 days out of the week. I'll go back to being open 7 days a week. The manager there will come to my store as an equal "co-manager".
This is someone who has radically opposite political views as me, is outspoken about them in person and on social media and is notorious for not wearing her mask. She has a very strong personality and is a regular smoker so the office will smell of faint smoke all of the time with a light cover of perfume, like her current office does. I'm sensitive to smoke so that's going to go over like a lead balloon. Oh, and instead of 85% of our quarterly bonuses that we get now, we'll each get 50% minus percentages for others that helped out too during the quarter. THAT is not sitting well with either of us. :fastdraq: My boss told us on a video call as he was driving so he wouldn't have to look us in the eye when he told us. I kinda want to knee the Hell out of him but I know it's not his decision. I still want to kick him for being such a coward, though. He was one when he took my employee to run another store too. This is happening so I need to find my center on it so I can do the best job possible but I'm going to wallow in my misery for just a wee bit longer. I need to grieve for all of the planned OT I will not be getting now. :blink: |
Being Thankful, tonight.
I'm thankful for everything I've got: My health, life here at home and so thankful for my Love (rico).

Unpacking the kitchen
Finally got the cabinets in the kitchen cut yesterday and the fridge is fitting in nicely. Now I can continue unpacking the kitchen boxes. Just have to decide what I’m going to keep and what to give away or toss out since I’m working with a lot less kitchen space.
:poc-cool: |
I've worked two days with the other manager and my fears were justified. She has been spotty about the masking and has gotten defensive when I asked her to wear it around me, saying that she "doesn't have germs and I won't catch anything from her". Neither of us are vaccinated and she is refusing to get it done, so this is a push to get me to work harder now that I will have more time off to get that taken care of to protect myself. She has a large family and is almost never alone so that's a massive uptick in my exposure risk.
Neither of us want this and have spit balled several scenarios as to why the home office is doing it. In the end, both of us agree that it will wind up with only one left standing. I'm not sure if the Highlander theme will be an intentional effect but it definitely reflects that this is not the same company I started working for over a decade ago. Now would be a great time to win the lottery or develop a new app that can be sold for billions. Since I don't have the tech know-how for that and I've had little luck wishing myself independently wealthy, that leaves the former option. :thinking: |

On my mind...
I'm concerned about how our country will remain democratic nation, rather than the latest nation ruined by a dictator-wanna-be and their enablers.
I came across a good read @ The Atlantic: America’s Bluest State Loves Its Republican Governor Here is a short excerpt from this article: Quote:
**************************** Did anybody else get the letter from Nancy Pelosi in the mail? I did. I filled out the survey, donated to the Democratic Committee's war chest, and succinctly stated my number one concern (which is two fold): Tax Code Reform (STAT), and hold the orange menace accountable (and every single person who helped this grifter/con-artist in wrecking people's lives). |
On your mind
Just listening to fireworks that will go probably until Tuesday as many folks have to have the first and last word for the Monday Victoria day celebrations.
|
I was standing on My deck this morning with coffee in hand - wondering where all the time has gone.
|
I was pondering serving a Southern-style antipasto display for a cocktail party, and wondering what would be the best way to serve honey glazed bacon. Probably cutting the bacon in half strips is the way to make it more manageable. Still, utensils? I don't think a toothpick will hold it securely. I spent some time contemplating whether roach clips might work. Maybe if I thread each bacon half-strip onto a metal skewer before oven frying it, that would hold it. Hmm.

Kobi is on my mind this morning. This is around the time of year she'd sometimes "moan 'n' groan" about the tourist traffic in her neck of the woods.
Hoping she met up with LieslKate and they're having a grand time wherever they are. |

Flirting Turkeys
Was just leaving home this morning when I saw some wild turkeys a few doors from me. This must be their mating season because they were showing off like there's no tomorrow and they paid no attention to me and my camera, though I wouldn't get out the car. Very beautiful plumes, too.
Last week there was a deer on my property for an hour or so. I didn't see it but my neighbors told me about it because some idiot was honking their horn at the deer. Deers often visit around here they tell me. Think I'll start taking early morning drives to see if I can take some better photos than what I got this morning. And no bears, thank goodness! :bow: |
Quote:
Yup, you were lucky it wasn't bears mating! Once seeing that, it's hard to unsee it! |

The family is moving two hours away on the worst stretch of hwy. between here and there. I guess Skype is my answer. I helped pack up my van and will do so again tomorrow. I guess in life, what is, is.

I was sitting in My recliner yesterday and reading a Harlan Coben book - and I thought about the new "normal" that I live now. No matter what type of catastrophic event happens to us - job loss, death, storms, fires, etc. everything changes after that. That change can be just to each of us - or the town you live in - or the Country we live in - or the World. You can feel the shift - and ever since I lost My Mom that is what I feel. The shift. My sister was telling Me yesterday that I have taken Mom's place for her. What she would have called Mom for she now calls Me - or if she wants someone to go shopping with her - she now calls Me - or advice, etc. I told her I feel like we are 4 ducklings that have gotten separated from our parents for some unknown reason - and that pretty soon they will find us again. But, I know that is not the reality of it - and when I feel that reality - it hurts like crazy.
I apologize that I go on and on sometimes about this stuff - but sometimes this is the outlet I have at the moment I am thinking of certain things. Thank you for listening - even if it is in silence. |

She knows.

All the "new" members we are seeing. Borodach means bearded or beaver in Russian. All things considered I guess that would be appropriate in a crude way.
|
Let me explain. This AM when I logged on there was a "new" member called victorborodach. I see now there is a new member named "zMarinkazx". In Russia there is a witch known as Marinka. Odd coincidence I think. :|
|
While I was chit chatting with a friend at work about what we were watching..she mentioned shows I really have liked. I figured we were on the same wave length, so when she mentioned Cobra Kai, I sorted turned my nose up on it. Naw, that cant be something I would like.
Well, I'm gonna try it. So far so good. I really love the soundtrack!!! |
Purging
I live in a small city (within a small city) that’s 1 sq mile with appx 3500 residents.
The city has a garage sale every August where the town folk put out our wares for sale. I’ll take part this year and am putting things aside to sell for August. Should be interesting. |
My eye exam later today, its been since 2015 that Ive seen an eye doctor!
I finally have the means to do things for my health, for once. I officially ended a relationship 2 weeks ago that was draining me financially, mentally, physically and such! |

I was just sitting here thinking it is nice to see people not just say or write the words - but actually do the actions connected to them, or if the person says they are trying to improve their life by doing x, y, or z - they actually do it - and you can see the improvement in them. That is why once in awhile we need to take a pause and say something to that person - so that we let them know - that we are taking notice of how they contribute to the world in a positive way.
(wow - why did I just reread all of that and think it sounds weird somehow and I am going to hit submit reply anyway?) (laughing) |

Maybe it's time that those of you that own one, two, three guns for "self protection" figured out that YOU are the problem. |

Have finally settled on curtains throughout the femme cave.
Am so enjoying this—especially because I’m not rushed. |

What is on My mind - is that Life is too unpredictable to get bogged down in things that are not important - or where the walkway is only one way. I have said this to Myself so many times over My life - and never truly lived it. Well I am here to say - that with the losses I have dealt with in the last couple of years - there is no more of the talking to just to hear Myself talk - when I let go of something - when I stick a fork in it to say it is done - I will live every single consonant and vowel. |

Getting my blood pressure down. Have been eating too much salt (with vinegar). Will reduce the salt, increase my water and veggies.
