Condo Keys

My condo is officially gone as of today.  It has made me upset at the loss and made me hate the tiny apartment I am in now.  I miss having my own space, I miss the Gulf and Bay, I miss being able to wear shorts all year, I miss the beach…  I took the [...]

Traffic and Laundry

Decided to take the “long” way home because that is the street the Laundromat is on although I had half talked myself out of doing the it. The rain has been pouring down and really, who needed clean clothes anyway?
Got past the Super Wal-Mart signal light and traffic came to a screeching halt. I had [...]

Hawaii

My son won’t stop talking about moving to Hawaii…I am starting to get worried. I know it is the epitome of paradise but it is also a very expensive place to live and limited on jobs. If I were published and making money that way, I wouldn’t give moving there a second thought but the [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

Rain and Dogs

Took the boys out for a walk in the rain because the rain doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon and they needed to be walked.  Played tug-of-war and keep away with them first so they were pretty worn out – that way they don’t feel cheated over the shorter walk.    Now [...]

Where did the day go?

I swear time got away from me.  I went in and had soup with my son – took him to work and came back home.  I walked the dogs, did some minor things around the house and watched a movie on TV.  Made supper around 9pm and did dishes.  From about 9:30 pm till 1:15 [...]

The Scoop

So here is today’s scoop.  The dispatcher that we all wanted to quit, quit.  This means that, unless management decides differently, I will be moving to days and one of the other dispatchers will be moving into my slot.  That will leave one opening that they aren’t sure they are going to let us fill [...]

Sleepwalking Again

Sometimes I feel like I am sleepwalking through life.  I know most of you know what I’m talking about – I’m not putting forth any real effort to make life better or worse.  I’m floating down the middle of the river without a care which might sound ok but in reality, it isn’t.  Life is [...]

Kind of Strange

I was told by someone recently that it is a little strange and surprising that I have never contemplated suicide.  Not that I have a reason to but these thoughts do seem to cross most depressed people’s minds now and then.  But not mine.
I have a favorite quote from Agatha Cristie that I think sums [...]

Dogs at the Dog Park

There were several dogs at the dog park today.  We started off in the small dog pen so Baxter could get all his long distance running in without me having to worry about him interacting with the larger dogs.  Bennie is afraid of the bigger dogs so that isn’t a problem with him – he [...]
