This happens every quarter... Classes are back in session and I just don't have the time like I used to. I don't get to post every day and when I do get to come in... My control panel is overflowing with unread threads and it makes it hard to post...

*sigh* I enjoy posting, its therapeutic, and relaxing... I will try to keep coming in, and just... pick a couple to check and post...

I need this place, I just have to stop expecting myself to check everything everyday...

9 days till I get to go on vacation to Maine and hang out with an awesome person! Ya :-D

Sassy · 01-17-2012, 10:49 AM

Heading back to work today. Been on furlough for the past week. Had some nice times w/friends. Got some things done around the house. Looking forward getting back to work, I guess. At least, I'm glad I have a job to go back to. But I'm annoyed at the level of uncertainty I face. My department staffing is at a critically low level and has been for some time. I have staff that's going to get screwed on vacation time. And we're all going to be working some long days/weeks to make up for the lack of people. All for a job that won't be here in July. I'm pretty divided as to what to do about the situation. One of my higher ups told me there is a job waiting on me when all of this is over. Do I believe him?

Sagittarius: You might think that it's better to stay quiet now if you don't have something positive to say. However, your current silence communicates more than you realize because others can't help but notice that you're withholding your feelings. There's no need to pretend that everything is okay just so you can avoid making an emotional scene. Instead, be as honest as you can and just tell the truth as you see it.

Some days sadness seeps in, yet all I can do is keep moving forward
I try not to process the sadness because when I do, it puts me in a depressive state of mind
Work, eat, sleep, computer time and TV seems to be life these days
Wishing I had friends nearby that I could do things with every now and again
Heck, just hanging out and doing nothing would be nice
Knowing someone is in the same room/house would make my day

Can't wait for the cold to leave and scout out a fishing hole around here
A lady I ran into at a store told me of a place I can river fish on a pier
I also found out besides a state fishing license, I need a city permit, too

i got new toms today and a big bra--from nordstrom.

my toms are actually also big as i have a large back paw.

also, i initiated e and me reading 'hunger games' together but then, e fell asleep and read ahead about 20 chapters so now i'm not sure if i should let e know--since last time we tried to read something 'together' i did the same thing--read it all in one night and e said that i'd do that this time and i swore up and down that i would not--i was even a little (pretend) insulted that he thought i couldn't control my greedy-reader ways.... poo. e came up behind me and read this.

all amazing things....love....plans....all the little things.....

sylvie · 01-19-2012, 10:33 PM

Mr Mtn watching local news tonight, and hearing of a woman and her baby being carried off in a flood there in Northern Oregon.. The image of that is in my mind still, and is so very heartbreaking.. =(

It makes me think, of how precious each day is - how things should never be taken for granted.. Enjoy each day , each moment, the people we love surrounding us because truly, our time together is a blessing.. One just never knows what tomorrow brings..

Definitely keeping that family in my thoughts, how tragic it must be for them & hugging these children snuggled in their beds tight tonight for both Mtn & i.. Such a special family we have, between us - all Our children combined, two cutiepie furbabies & friends we love so.. i count my blessings, indeed tonight.. ♥

Friendship....assessing friendship. Evaluating relationships with long-time friends is a tough thing. Why do I feel closer to someone I've known for a few months, than I do to my "close friend" who I've known for 7 years? Something is wrong with that picture. Seriously wrong. I don't feel happy or good when I talk to her, and sometimes it's even a challenge to have fun when we spend time together. She takes forever to return my calls & texts (if at all). So I've started to distance myself just a little. And I don't think she has even noticed. I want to have good friendships with positive, wonderful people. But ending a friendship is a drastic step.

So this is what's on my mind.

Kenna · 01-20-2012, 05:27 AM

I feel claustrophobic today....(nothing negative, just bothers me some days and not others)... and, I have a love hate thing with water (my uncle used to try to smother us when he washed our hair)....my bath water didn't feel good this morning, so I didn't soak long... wonder what it would be like to soak in a chocolate spa at Hershey? Or a mud bath at Hot Springs?
