Damn I'm tired. These 7 day stretches are killers, I'll tell ya, and the fact that 3 people have been fired over stupid crap, only adds more tension to the whole thing. Thankfully I (we) only have three more days to grind through. I feel like the group cheerleader right now, trying to keep everyopns spirits up, and keep 'em all motivated. Not an easy task at this point in time. I'm mentally fried! Help!

All work and no play = no blogging! Oops. Nuthin' much new in La La Land anyway.........hmmmmmm lemme see.........this past week has been interesting at work. We got a new guy, Jacob, on our team, which thrills us to no end, as we haven't enuff business for the 5 of us, let alone one more. Anyway, Jacob is 54 and is from Liberia. Needless to say, we can't understand a freakin' thing he says. We just nod alot or keep saying "huh?" like a bunch of morons. He also says he's a preacher, so he can't work any Sundays. I can't wait to see how the boss handles this shit. If he gives this guy Sundays off, royal hell is gonna break loose. So things have been a bit interesting on the sales floor with the "new blood" around. I don't think he's going to last very long. Most don't in our neck of the woods.

Tomorrow, Hubbs and I are going to Ron's (a fellow salesman), for a picnic at his trailor by the lake. The guys are going to go golfing, while us gals bullshit and treasure hunt on the beach! I think it will be a nice time for everyone, with lots of good food and strange characters! I love it! And yes, I am one of those strange characters!

Three wonderful days of blissful relaxation are coming to an end. This sucks major ass. Ugh. Nite.

Wow! It's been awhile since I've been here. Healing myself after surgery has been priority one, so this took a bit of a back seat. Let's bring things up to speed, shall we?

Friday August 9
Saw the doctor in the afternoon, and he took off my little steri-strips, and gave me two "thumbs up" on my progress. Great. Off to work for 6 hours, my first day back in over a week. It was really nice when I walked in the door at work, everyone saying they missed me, and were glad to see me back. Nice to be missed and needed. Needless to say it made me feel wonderful! The day was okay, although as I got toward evening, my stomach began to cramp up a bit. Uncomfortable, but I can deal with it. It's just letting me know that there's still mending going on in there. Easy does it, now.


Saturday August 10
Headed off to work in the morning for a 7 hour day. Nothing to eventful to report about my day, my sales were shit, and by 5, I was ready to head home for three days of R&R.


Sunday August 11
What a wonderful way to start the day........sleeping in till 11, then Hubbs made us all pancakes that were soooooo yummy! Nick and I rode up to Erie to get him some new shoes. We found one pair at Value city Dept. Store and one at DSW Warehouse. I think he was happy with what he found, and I was happy to spend some time with him. Later in the day, I took the "Vettester" out for a couple of drives, and then just chilled out at the house the rest of the day. Great Sunday indeed!


Monday August 12

I saw a neat little CD boombox in a Circuit City ad in the Sunday paper, so I decided to drive up and get one. I picked one up, drove home, and the freakin' remote didn't work. Shit I was pissed, as now I'd have to drive back up there and get another one. Now it's not that it's a long drive, about 15 minutes is all, but I wasn't in the mood to waste my time going back where I just was. I have better things to do on my day off. well, I packed it all up, and headed back to the store. This time I had the chick there test it out for me, and she was really nice about the whole thing. As I headed out, I thought I hadn't been to Platos closet for awhile, so I stopped in and found two really sharp tops for $5.00 each! I love this bargain shopping shit. It's like a friggin' drug to me! Then I drove over to Nicks work, but he was busy in the stock room and I didn't want to bother him. So I told his boss to tell him that I'd stopped by, and I was outta there. Well, since I was next to a Fashion Bug, I thought what the hell, pop in and see what they have to tempt me with. I found a cut pair of seersucker pants 50% off, so they were only like $3.75 or something, and I found two colognes I liked, and they were only 2/$10.00! Yeeeha! Jackpot again! Well, after all this I haeded home as I was starving. I ate a mac and cheese dinner, put on my new lounge pants, and spritzed on a bit of my new cologne. Oh, and a bit of cool jazz on the boombox..........life sure is good. Nuff said

Better day today. I'm starting to feel more like "myself", with a tad bit more energy than I've had in a while. Yesterday was not a good day at all. I felt like my guts went two rounds with a heavyweight boxer, and yeah, he won.............big time! Then I had a squabble with my "caregiver" in the evening. Glad that's over with. It's such a gorgeous day out today, in the mid 70's, that I was able to enjoy being outside in my gardens for awhile. Nice. It really lifted my spirits to be outside on such a splendid day, with the sky a caribbean blue, dotted with whispy white clouds. Life is good.

Tonights post falls under the "Nuckin' futs" catagory. Go look there.

Well I'm home. Actually, I've been home since Friday morning, but this is the first time I've really felt like sitting here and writing. Everything went well surgically, and one nite in the hospital was more than enuff for me. I hated it, and there was no way they were even gonna think of keeping me another day. Now that I'm home, I mostly take my pain meds and sleep, and walk around the house a bit. But I am feeling better every day. It's just good to be home.
