I came home yesterday to find my tv had died. Tried all kinds of things.. no dice. Then.. the fish are dieing.. So.. throughly cleaning of tank, re scrubbing, carefully adding water with correct stuff in to kill bad stuff. Cat disappeared and I thought she had died also... she was merely taking a nap. So,,I'm hot, (it's hot & humid here) tired, and w/out a tv. have other things done though. Now, do I want a nap? it is awful quiet w/out the tv. I have accomplished a lot of...

OK. I live in an apartment. I had a home.. hated the upkeep etc. so.. moved.. decided on an apartment for awhile. They had online bill pay.. wonderful.. did that every month. THEN.. they changed providers. The new one doesn't recognize my name or unit. My complex doens't know what our resident id is... but.. they say call the new provider, they will help. I've called for 2 hours.. no one is there. It's CA, they are still asleep! I have appointments, and other shit to do. I ca...

The work day is over. Its been insane. Trying to get days off work to coincide with days to go visit daughter & family. Have a new grandson to spoil. Computer systems have been nuts, its not even a full moon! I'm going to fix a nice tall liquid refreshment. Unwind, and maybe eat something.. or just have another drink. Hope your day went better than mine... Take care, thanks for stopping by.. don't forget to say hi.

Today at work the phone calls were horrible. I can understand having a bad day, but, I swear after today Alexander G. Bell better be glad he is dead. All the calls today from customers, were very very challanging to say the least. I did not personaly cause any of these people problems. I tried to help, apologize, correct, and nothing seemed good enough. It was my fault it seemed that even though they caused the problems themselves, it was I who was being mean. I understand thing...

It snowed here in KC, Mo yesterday, and last night.. it is to finish up this am. It is sooo pretty. So peaceful.. When it was falling it was the perfect snowfall. Light, not heavy, covered the ground, but no ice. Looking up the grey sky with the snow lit up the night sky. I love snow. I would love to be in a cabin somewhere and just watch the snowfall, and sit in front of a fire, knit, read, watch tv. that would be sooo wonderful. But, alas nothing lasts for long. Already the per...

A friend of mine emailed me about a family. They had 4 boys and were involved in a wreck New Years Eve. Drunken driver hit the car.. and the youngest boy died. He was 4. While there are few ways that someone from far away can help.. she came up with a great idea. The boys need comforting. They need support, as does the entire family. So, several of us are knitting a few squares to send to her to add to others to make an afghan. We have the sizes needed and colors requested. Thi...

Ok.. sooo not fair. I'm up early.. everything the go to go to work. I warm up my car, move slowly out of my drive, and onto a street. I was about 1/2 mile from my home when a 4-wheel drive truck blew past me, fishtailed, forcing me to aim for the side of the road, and he didn't even slow down. I wish 4-wheel drive owners had to pass a drivers test explaining that 4-wheel drive doesn't mean a thing on ice!. You can't stop any faster! Gezzzzzzzzzzzz. I've driven in snow & ice sinc...

While a large percentage of people have the day off, I get to to work! While I was off work last week, today being a Federal Holiday, I get to go to work!. I would love to take the day off, using sick leave.. but as I only have 40 hours for the rest of the year, I'll bundle up against the cold,and brave the icy streets. Since I've cooked enough in the last few days, I have plenty for lunch, and have most of the meals for the week covered. It isn't so much that I mind my job once I'm ...

Yesterday my grandson was born. I'm still floating, being thankful he and his mother are doing well. I now have 2 grandchildren. One granddaughter, and one grandson. Oh the knitting I need to do! lol. I am on the edge of the ice storm to hit the midwest. Thankfully my area wasn't hit as bad as Oklahoma... I was there several yrs ago when a previous ice storm hit. It was not good. So, I moved north, and the cold has been here, as well as sleet. However, the freezing rain which is ...
