Sistah Pat

I sat out in the spa last night before I went to bed and could see the changes. I’ve been sitting out there over the lifespan of two spas or 15 years and I’ve seen so many changes from right out there on my little corner of the patio. I noticed a light dusting of crunchy brown leaves covering the patio and a few of them fell into the spa when I was out there. Pretty soon, they’ll be coming down by the bucketful and I’ll be looking up through a skeletonized old maple tree instead of through a canopy of green. The jasmine and moon flowers were lovely but they’ll be shriveling up and I’ll be gathering moonflower seeds for next year’s blooms. I don’t get into the winter too much. I know some people see it as a beautiful time of year but I prefer the sunshine and flowers.

Not much going on today. I’m trying to decide if I want to go to the gym by myself this afternoon. I guess it’s something I need to decide. It’s silly to pay for it every month and then go for water aerobics four or five times a month.

Hey, Kiki! How you doin? Thanks for dropping by. I tried to find your blog but don’t have the URL anymore.

6:15 - 168 on the scale. Where did that come from??? Still, I guess bouncing between 165 and 168 is better than bouncing between 167 and 170. Not upset…the bouncing is all a part of losing.

4:30 p.m. - Home from work.  Busy day!  I didn’t get a chance to wolf down breakfast until 10:30 and didn’t get to lunch until 1:00.  Both were eaten while working on computers.  Busy day but nice that it flew by.  Pathetic, Arrogant, Upchuck Lowlife got on my nerves a bit.  Some really super techs from the computer support division promised to come over today to see why my laptops weren’t binding to the server.  I have about 200 that needed to be reimaged and bound.  I’ve been working on them as much as I can but each one takes about 20 minutes to do and then the binding process ran into a snag.  Pathetic, Arrogant, Upchuck Lowlife has not helped me with them at all.  Unless there’s a bigwig around, he’s totally out of the picture.  He doesn’t even know how to bind them.  So, the big guy techies arrive and he comes over and sits down with us and starts making conversation about how we’ve been trying to get the laptops bound.  I didn’t say anything.  It’s not worth it to me but I was delighted when Barbara walked over after he left and said, “I couldn’t believe Paul sat down and worked with you guys.  That’s the first time I’ve seen him touch a laptop this year!”  Nuff said.  Thank you, Barbara!

I’m going to go to the gym by myself this evening for water aerobics.  Maybe I can strike up a conversation with someone and meet someone to work out with.   The Sistahs seem to be bombing out on the gym thing.  I need to make a decision about whether or not to keep my membership.
