Nice pictures TP! That is one place I ahve not travelled to and would like to see. One day.
Last night I had a lovely evening at home alone, actually quite happy to chill by myslef on a Saturday night. Created some gorgeous xmas decos that i will sell at market, watched a movie "Bridesmaids" that i thought was a comedy, it was but I think I cried as much as I belly laughed! It has been a while since I have felt happy to be alone on a saturday night. Long may it last.
Right, lazy Sunday morn reading is over........ must run....off to play badminton with a couple of friends then meet others after for coffee.
I am happy I am making an effort to be happy with my life...because really it is a pretty good one.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Overs!

Morning Overs,
TP I just love Time Square I miss it so as I live on the west Coast now and have been here for over 10+ years.
Not much to write about as I am pretty tired this morning. My inconsiderate neighbor woke me up at 2am and I am very annoyed by it
Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday..

Piotr,
I am always amazed at my friends from Europe. They speak several languages sonetimes as well as the native speakers. I love reading your posts from your persepective, thanks.
Tip great pics, nice set up with the billboard.
LB,
You made it happen! There are really only three kinds of people in the world: Those that make things happen, those that watch what happens, and those that don't know what's happening. Beware, making it happen can be as addictive as alcohol, but in a great way. Be like the military now and make it work. Adapt, overcome and improvise.
R&A,
Glad you processed the bad client positively. I find that the exercise of burying their body calms me down imneasurably.

rs2 - it is nice to spend time with him. We deep-cleaned the car together yesterday. Nice to see him so enthusiastic about doing something. Then a long 100 km drive home. He was driving and I was more than a bit nervous, but he did good.
LB - best of luck
TP - beautiful pics.
Spent the weekend at the lake house with son. My father keeps booze there and I felt very uncomfortable. Asked my son to hide it, which made me feel better. Also bad memories of my reckless drunk behavior, so I was happy to leave. Not planning on going there again this summer. Maybe next year it will be easier.

So I called in to work today with an excuse that I would be late......just so I dont have to work with the colleague that is a bully this morning!!! This is very bad, but I would rather avoid any conflict right now. Apparently there has been a meeting with him and the bosses in the states...but gee...no feedback to me and I am still expected to work alongside him. I never used to be the type of person that ran from a fight, I find this all new territory. And I do not like to lie, not one little bit!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am praying that the new job offer comes through before Thursday this week.

It's interesting to make your way through a stressful period without alcohol. Things can still get done. OK frayed around the edges. I'm working out that at work I am the person they bring all the problems to- in the past I took it all on- I now see a pattern, I can work on.
I need to bite my tongue early rather then jump in with the (obvious) solution, and then allow others to see that I have a handle on it- therefore they can leave it with me.

Morning Overs!
Back to work after a lovely 4-day mini-holiday in Maine. The weather is cool and crisp, with a hint of fall. I am feeling good.
Manz, I think maneuvering around the bully as best you can is part of an elegant, grown-up approach. Vibing for good news on the new job.

I'll pray for you too, Manz. Sounds like the new job would be a great solution in a lot of ways. I wouldn't mind such a change, myself.
Off to the races. Today is day 2 of South Beach Diet. It's worked for me before, it'll work again. 237 today. Target is 215-220, at least for now. So, 20 lbs. I'm gonna lose that belly fat!

Oh my gosh...... that is one gorgeous puppy! the exact breed that I would like too. Nice one Kablume.
Frances....well said hun. I am manouvering in an adult way now, made it clear I wont work with him when he behaves inappropriately and now it is so...for the time being anyway. Management have him on a tight reign for the time being!
Two more sleeps and hopefully I will hear about the new job. It is mine...it is mine.....and if not then someone pretty darn amazing must have come along.
Still smiling looking at Argus.....sigh
