Hi -de-ho!!!
Oh man, the time crept by so slow at work today. I was very pre-occupied and had a hard time concentrating cause I was thinking about having 4 days off. Yayyyyy!!!
I am feeling a little better tonight. I didn't take the Allegra cause it just didn't seem to be helping me much. I got some Sudafed out of the medicine cabinet at work and it really helped alot. I was really looking forward to seeing the cousins baby. She was born 3 months early and is probably about 4months old now but I doubt if I get to close to her with this cold. I don't think her parents would appreciate me passing my germs onto her.
Marlana, I wanted to tell you about my brother. I have a really hard time around him and don't know if I'll ever feel close to him. He is a recovering alcoholic and although I'm very proud of him for quitting drinking, its just hard to explain my feelings. When he was drinking heavily, he never came around or called anyone in the family unless he was drunk. One thing I remember is his smell, booze and B O, not a very good combination and it grosses me out. I think thats one of the reasons I don't care for bars cause I can't stand that smell. Anyway, he'd call and talk really stupid cause he was drunk as a skunk and those calls really affected me so bad. Sometimes when he called I got diarreah, thats how bad it upset me. I used to obcess over them and I'd get depressed, have trouble sleeping, etc. I used to tell him not to call if he couldnt call sober and then when my mom got sick and he'd pull that crap with me, I went off on him so many times that he quit calling. He finally quit drinking almost 2 years ago and I haven't heard from him for gosh, probably since last Christmas and I feel guilty about that but yet I feel better that I dont have to talk to him. Anyway, your situation sort of reminded me of you and your sister in as far as how upset you get over her situation. I kinda got to rambling on about my situation and I'm not sure if I was making a point or not.
Maybe since you opened up to your sister some, she'll quit talking to you about it so much. I hope so. Have fun with your family tomorrow
Skeeter, I'm glad you like the dreamcicle pudding. Told ya it was good. Its what I'm making to take to dinner tomorrow. I will check out the album so I can see your new pictures. Way to go with the 2 mile walk. I can be a little nutty about animals to but I could never picture myself raising 3 new born squirrels. When I see a squirrel, I think of Skeeter. And I couldn't picture myself walking around in the woods where there are bears!!!! I would imagine you and your dh will enjoy those woods alot more than you did last year when it was so dry and you were worrying over the fires. Have fun with your grandkids and kids tomorrow.
Tobey, Oh no, snow flakes. Yikes. Well, by this time last year, we'd already had lots of snow and so far we haven't seen a flake yet but I heard them say on the news possibly rain or snow this weekend. It has been cold tho. It warmed up pretty good this afternoon and they are calling for the 50's tomorrow. Sounds like perfect weather for Thanksgiving. Your right about not wanting to work the day after Xmas. I've got the day before scheduled off but now you got me thinking about taking the day after off to. Hmmmm!!!! Maybe I will. My cat wants on my lap as soon as I sit down. Luckily for me, she is declawed so I don't have to worry about that when she starts kneading. She and her sister ruined a nice recliner we used to have because of their claws. I did have a little trouble falling asleep when I went to bed although I dozed a little in the chair. I was pretty tired today to. Hopefully I'll get good sleep tonight. At least I don't have to worry about getting up early.
Oh, I ordered this clock from QVC and its really cool. Its called a Smart Clock and it sets itself as soon as you plug it in plus it sets the date to. If you lose power, as soon as it comes back on, it sets itself again. I've had the worst trouble with alarm clocks lately so hopefully this one will last awhile.
Well, I'd better get going. Have a nice day tomorrow.
