    I'm so beyond irritated, that I wish I had just purchased that darn kickboxing bag that I keep thinking of buying. I need to pound and kick something badly. Don't worry, I always take out frustrations on inanimate objects! I was supposed to get help yesterday with some work stuff, and the person didn't do a thing. This is stuff that could have been done overnight and the person is in a different time zone, so I didn't think twice when nothing got done when I left at 4.This is very much NOT GOOD. It means I have double the workload today, and potentially irritated clients. Not. Happy.

    Good thing I start my day early. I also have a conference call at 11 that I'm in no way prepared for. That shouldn't take too long though to get ready for, thankfully. Maybe 30 minutes tops. I'm just counting down to Thursday, which will be my Friday this week. I took a long weekend and the Mom is coming up. Can't wait!

    I am so tired this morning.  I think I got too much sleep...almost 7 hours.

    Deb - you would have been horrified by my dream last night.  I was running around going crazy because we were out of Vodka and I wanted a martini.  I was looking everywhere and couldn't find a drop.  I finally found a mini bottle of some crazy brand but was so worried that it wouldn't be enough.  I think that's why I am exhausted this morning...I was stressing even in my dreams.

    I have meetings from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm straight today...fun fun.  I am so ready to go back to Mexico.

    Had my first Zumba class in over a week last night, can barely walk this morning.

    Good vibes to all that need them.

    That's not a dream, that's a NIGHTMARE!

    I'm dragging this morning.  I may need a gallon of coffee just to keep my eyes open.

    Classic symptoms of Sleep Terror Disorder. 

    Drink two martinis and call me in the morning.

    I am mega irritated at work today.  And I've only been here an hour.  One thing I can't stand, is essentially being asked to do the same thing, twice.  Although I gave the lawyer this stuff yesterday, she now wants me to "have it ready" for her again, she has the other copy, so she can look at it again when she comes in.  Frustrating.

    This stuff sucks.  I'm trying hard not to be in a bad mood, but since yesterday evening Derek was in a bad mood and it carried over this morning and now I'm in one too.  stupid.

    Sounds like the i-dog 2 x 4 is going to get a lot of use today.

    Ummm, wow.  Maybe I should take my somewhat cheery self elsewhere......

    I do have a negative!!!!  Just to fit in with the theme today.  While putting the crates up in the bedroom (barefoot of course) I managed to drop the corner of one on the top of my foot.  Yeouchhhh!  I literally had an "egg" on top of my foot.  It's starting to flatten out now, and just turning a very pretty purple color.......

     Ouch Glenda! Cheery people are most welcome!! Cheeriness is contagious and I wouldn't mind catching some myself!

    I'm still in the dark here about the co-worker, though it may have been a budgetary cutback.

    Last night I had an odd phone call.  My friend Jo Ellen who passed away last week, her husband called me.  Said he was surprised to see me last week at the visitation, but that I helped him get his mind off the situation at hand and he was glad I came.  Very strange, since I only spoke to him for a minute or two.  Then he asked how I knew about Jo's passing, made some other small talk, then before we hung up (maybe a five minute conversation), he asked if he could call me again.  Um...I guess so (but why?).  In the 4 years I lived in the town and went to church, I really said nothing more than hello to him; I knew Jo and two of her daughters.  Needless to say, I'm a little freaked out, but trying to chalk it up to his grief and nothing more.

    Maybe I need to get an unpublished phone number.

    And I don't want to be.  Honestly, this man just lost his wife of 36 years.  Granted, she was battling cancer for the last 6, but I cannot be the shoulder for him to cry on.  Plus, he's approx. 60 years old and I don't want to go there.

    I'm bringing Gracie to the vet this afternoon to investigate the stiffness - she's not stretching as much as usual.  Good thoughts?

    Of course, Paige.  Stretchy vibes and gentle rubs to Gracie and ((hugs)) for her worried mom.

    I woke up late and stuffy headed this morning. But since I have no where to go I am ok with it.

    To answer Jewls from yesterday, I have no plans other than relaxing. Cannot really afford to go anywhere and that is fine, I am using the time to clean the house, work on my nieces quilt, nap and play with the dog.

    Speaking of dogs, the hard headed brute had some issue's last night. I believe I have mentioned my neighbor a few times, the jailbird? Anywho Kord adores this guy. Despite his lack of employment, 100 poor girlfriend choices, poor driving habits and recreational smoking pursuits that get him jail time, he really does have a soft heart for animals.

    So last night the DH calls me and said he is in trouble again, and I asked what for, he said come look out the window. Sure enough the local undercover drug guys had him pulled over and handcuffed in front of the house. Well Kord went balistic....barking and jumping up in front of the window. I did not dare open the door. They had pulled him over for supposedly speeding, but my guess they pulled him over because of his record, they handcuffed him because they found a pill. Turns out it was an antibiotic so they let him out of the handcuffs. After that when they were getting ready to go I went out and asked him to come get his laundry that we allow him to do here and they were chuckling. He came in and Kord was all over him. They were humored because he had to tell them that we were his neighbors and that Kord was his best buddy to explain why we were looking out the window and why Kord was being a maniac.

    Ok, off to do something....

    Ok, all the grouches, get over it.  All the cheery people, carry on.   Was that helpful?

    Paige, good vibes for Gracie.

    Tina, I have no advice for you about the widower except be kind but firm. 

    Why do all these people keep calling me and telling me their a/c's are broken?  Oh yeah, I guess they must be customers and I must be their POC.  Guess I need to get busy and see about getting some of these whiners some cooling. lol
