Hen House Talk With All Our Friends - Part 9 |
I'll be back later to catch up and stuff - got a spasmy back right now...ouch. D |
Jay~ I understand about the not feeling real social. I am by nature reserved and quiet. I force myself to be social. Sometimes it feels like great effort to open up and connect to people. So you aren't alone in that feeling and it makes me happy when you pop in.:) Dee~~ I hope you get to feeling better. Hubby has been bothered with his back lately too and we have a tens unit I put on him to help with back spasms and it does help. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Sorry your band did not get to play. Maybe that will change soon too. Lenina~~ so these cats are always going to be unhappy together, I was hoping they would get along and quit hissing and growling. At least the new kitty seems oblivious to the discomfort of the other cats. He just doesn't seem to be bothered by their antics. I think it's a he, this cat is not too keen on me getting his/her gender. I think he's half maine coon. He 's got a huge fluffy tail. Hope you get to feeling better too! |
I was playing bass all week to get up to speed for this gig so that's probably it. It ended up being cancelled tho - venue trouble...maybe when they find a new venue LOL D |
((((Jay)))) It's OK to not be social, but please don't isolate. I have a tendency to shut down and isolate at times and it doesn't help me. Come here and talk to us when you can. (((med))) Yeah, cats are pretty territorial. OG is getting on in years, she's 18 years now and we worry what to do when she passes. The FuzzyB is very cat-identified so we think maybe he'd want a new companion. He's very playful and OG refuses to play with him so maybe a kitten would be fun for him. Kittens are so much fun but can be a lot of work too. LOL (((Dee-baby))) Sorry you didn't get to play! Perhaps there's another venue to be found? Does your band have a booker? (please note the B) I'm sure you'll be up to speed in no time and your muscles will once again be used to the business of playing. My day was good. I had Indian food, Hubs and I went out for little stroll. I'm really craving something sweet. Oatmeal raisin cookies would do me nicely. Thank you. Much love to all! Lenina |
(((Jay))) - Thanks for checking in, sweetie. I can understand that therapy is going to be rough on you, for a while. You've had way too much to deal with in your young life. The good news is, as painful as it is, once you bring it all out, the bad stuff won't have such a hold on you. You've never got to live life as a carefree kid, had to grow up way too fast, but you CAN get to the point where life isn't always so painful. It just takes time. So, had to call the cops to work again tonight. Had a guy acting erratically...ordering burgers when we're only serving breakfast, fell asleep in the front DT window, then pulled up, sat there, then tried to back into the car behind him. I figured he was drunk, high or both. VERY impressed with our police dept...one car was there in less than 5 minutes, and shortly thereafter came two more. They were out there with him for a while. I was walking out to my car when one of them started walking to the door and I told him I was the one who called them. Dotty and I told what we saw, and I asked if he was "drunk, high, or both" and he said "both"...on some "medication" and drinking. He was in the back seat of the car when I left. I told the cop that at least I felt justified in calling them, and he said "if you ever get a bad feeling about something, CALL US, even if it turns out to be nothing". It was a damned good feeling that when he took all my info, I didn't have to worry about something showing up on MY record. Of course, then I realized I didn't have my wallet (thought it was in my car), so drove home with no driver's license? Oops. Dotty said my boss was really ****ed that I left at 4, yesterday, should have stayed until 7. Whatever. I keep telling him I will no longer work until 7, that I need certain days off, and he keeps not listening. One of the "kids" who Nick said has been there for 3 years, walked off the job yesterday. Oooooh, and the store owner? If she gets 8 more complaints this month, she's going to lose her stores. I know of at least one from last night (because the credit card machine was down for a few minutes). We have also just came back with the McRibs, and we ran out? Yeah, real good management, we have, huh? I'm going to try to get a couple hours of sleep, then meet Dan and Kay at church. Have more studying to do, and will clean my room and pack some stuff up and take it to storage, as I just don't have ROOM for what little I have. Brit and J have taken over the house, and dad had to yell at ME about MY room? Again...whatever. He probably snapped on me, because I'm the only one who will actually DO anything? Hugs and prayers, Amy |
No sleep, thanks to Tinker keeping me awake:( Church was great, but emotional because that was where mom worked and she was a HUGE part of it. I was drawn to one couple sitting across from us...something about them just made me smile. We had a potluck dinner, after church, and ended up sitting with them. When Kay told them who I was, the man said "I was a pallbearer at your mom's funeral". Pretty cool that, though I don't remember much of the funeral (I was a mess), I had a special feeling about someone my mom loved and adored. Part of the sermon was about having faith, and let it override your fears - definitely what I needed to hear. It was a good morning/lunch. I feel much better, but I'm really tired. Nothing seems to get rid of Tinker's fleas, and her scratching/chewing/biting/shaking her head is what kept me up the first time. I hope the damned fleas are ready for a nap:( I could take her to stepmom, but she comes right back to me. Hugs and prayers, Amy |
I put some pics from the wedding on my profile:) I also texted my buddy, Brittny, from school and she said the test last week was VERY easy and I should have no problem with the one tomorrow. She also said that's all they did, was take the test, so doesn't look like I'll be spending 2 hours in class....YAY! Now off to study for my other class. Hugs and prayers, Amy |
The wedding pics look great, you look so happy. That little boy is gonna be a hearthrob when he gets older, he's adorable. Thanks for posting them. |
Thanks ((Med)) - Dominic looks just like his daddy, when he was a baby, and his g'pa, who is my cousin, when HE was a baby. Though g'pa has gotten a bit older, his daddy IS a heart-throb...I've never seen a kid look so much like both his mom and dad. He had his mouth stuffed full of M&M's when the pic was taken. Talks very well, for 2-1/2, and his favorite words are "I want some candy":) Trying to study and stay awake. Only have 38 more pages to read and take notes on, and 4 projects to complete this week. At least it's on MS Word, and I have a clue about that, as that's the program I use to type my notes into. Obviously, not going to get all that done tonight! Hugs and prayers, Amy |
Glad you had fun at the wedding ((Amy)). I had a panic attack yesterday. That wasn't very fun. But now I have the day off to spin more thoughts. Fantastic. |
(((Jay))) - sorry about the panic attack. The only time I've ever had one, was during my relapse and it was NOT fun. Big hugs and prayers, sweetie, Amy |
Jay~ I've had panic attacks and they aren't fun. I don't even know sometimes what brings them on. I do know there is medication for this that isn't addictive to treat this problem. You are so young to have to deal with stuff like this. Much love sent to you and your sweet sister.:) |
Jay - deep breathing helps me with panic attacks - of course you need to kinda get into the practice at times when you're not panicking... Although they're not specifically for anxiety, these are like the ones I use :) Breathing Exercises D |
I just got the most wonderful news today. I am crying it's so wonderful. I got my RN license back. I can't believe it. The BON told me I was approved. AND AND I don't have to go make the drive in to get it, they are sending it by mail. Double omg and wow. With my truck issues that's just the very very best news in the world. all I have to do now is finish about 20 hours of CEU's and get off one more list. It's happening. It's happening. If you do the next right thing it will happen. I can only say that SR has made this happen for me, the support of Amy and all the wonderful people here. Thank you.:c029: |
(((Med))) OMG, I'm doing the happy dance and Tinker is looking at me like I'm CRAZY!!!! You've worked hard for this, sweetie, and I'm so very proud of you!!!! Just think where you were, 2 nights ago, and where you are now....as Ann says, "the difference between a bad day and a good day is about 2 days":) YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I just talked with a lady about a clinical trial I'd signed up for on hot flashes. IF I get approved, I'll be given a non-hormonal med for 6 months (which is good, as I keep reading the hormones greatly increase your chance for breast cancer), get paid for every office visit and phone call, which will end up being $450. Keeping my fingers crossed! Have to go back to work in a couple hours. Trying to get my good mood working. I'm sure I'll hear about how I was supposed to have stayed until 7a.m. Sat. morning, but I've gotten pretty damned good at standing up for myself at work, and will remind the boss that I told him I wouldn't do that MONTHS ago, he just doesn't listen. pffffft. I'm going to check out the Dept. of Labor's job force center for my county. They'll test me, point me in the direction of jobs I qualify for. I know I can't work full time, but it's worth a try. It's just finding the time to do it, as I still have a lot of studying to do. I looked over the 4 assignments I have due this week, and they're not so bad. It's just the reading and the darned test I worry about. I was reminded to look at the "big picture" when I get down, so I'm going to try to do that. As ((Med)) just proved...sometimes we have to go through some really icky stuff to get to where we're supposed to be. She went through something I didn't even want to do, and got through it, so I can definitely deal with being broke, hating my job, but bettering myself through school! Love, hugs and prayers, Amy |
((((med))) I am so very happy for you!! Congrats and good job! Much love to you! Lenina |
Thanks guys. I know you all will always have my back. I hope I can be there for you all too. :) Amy, going thru what you've been thru and coming out the other end is pretty much a win win story. I've always heard crack/coke are hard to get over and you have done that. You've beaten that. Being broke and all the rest is minor compared to what you've accomplished. What's even more admirable is you did it without all the constant monitoring. I admit, all that may make me crazy to go thru but it is a level of accountability that I probably needed. I know if you had the resources to go to a rehab you would be doing this too but don't ever think you've not won. You have. I know it's hard to have a wonderful week away from "life" and have to come back to dad/step mom/ issues and job issues along with school. It's like when I go on vacacy, I leave all the crap at the house along with the worries, the cleaning and just go enjoy. It's wonderful. Thanks again to all my wonderful hens. |
I'm very very happy for you J :D Good luck with the Dept Amy - time to leave that clown Ronald behind!!! LOL Heya Lee! :wave: :grouphug: D |
Thanks Dee. How are you doing today? Feeling okay I hope? |
