Day BEFORE Friday Chat

shamrockmommy

you know there is a way to *not* pee on your feet....

LOL!  It's true, though.  Growing up a tomboy in a rural community does have at least one advantage.

Women's Aid legal lady called me back.  I have the choice of waiting a few days to see if I get the return receipt for my certified letter and then pursuing further options if necessary, or I can file a PPO right away.  If he then violates the PPO, I would file a police report.  The lady was very reassuring, said this is considered stalking under Michigan law, and even though my phone number and address is in the book, it doesn't give him any right to look to me up to call, send me mail, or search for where I live (let alone show up).  Of course, if I feel threatened by him at any time, I'm to call 911.  So I will wait until Tuesday to get the return receipt back and if I do not, will file the PPO.  I hope he gets the point and doesn't decide to push it.

I feel a little better in my head, but my stomach is still a wreck.  And unfortunately, my friend is working all weekend, so he can't come to visit.

Maybe my neighbors will let me borrow their Dobes.  I'd even put up with dober-gas.  LOL

 I think Amanda should ship Brutus to you for a while!

Nothing exciting here today. 

TIna- stay safe!

I can't wait to hear if you get the return receipt back.

Did he show any idea of conherence on the day he 'visited' that he was not wanted there?

Sending "get well" vibes out for those who need them.

Stay safe, Texas! Yeesh. Hope things are settling down for you guys.

I'm going to go tackle (for hopefully the last time) the mildew and shower gunk I inherited with this apartment. Armed with softscrub, tilex, and five gazillion Mr. Clean magic erasers. If I don't come back... send for the Clorox.

That was the worst thing about rentals, many of the places we rented all had mildew.  of course, most of those were tiled with improperly done grouting, but I digress.

I was walking back from getting food for lunch, and talking with a friend, and all of a sudden she tells me my nose is bleeding.  I had a hard time stopping it, too.  Weird.  I don't often get random bloody noses, esp in summer when I hadn't done anything (sneeze, hit my nose on something, etc).  Maybe I have a brain tumor.  Good thing I work with a lot of doctors -- though, as surgeons, they all want to cut something out.  Guess I ought not to have them cut out my brain.

I haven't read everyone's posts so if anyone is in need of good vibes, you got 'em.  I send them out randomly for all my dog friends so if you get hit with them and don't need them bounce them to someone else. lol

I've felt so blah today and kind of crabby.  My tummy is a bit better.  I left Gabby and Twister home today and it's awfully quiet without them here.  Gabby was happy to see me at lunchtime and Twister said leave her here and take me to the office. lol 

I ordered a replacement fuel credit card (major national chain) for one of the guys here at work.  We got it today but also got a card that belongs to another a/c company by mistake.  They have a $19,500.00 monthly credit limit on this card!  Good grief, it's a good thing I'm honest or I could have filled up every vehicle of every friend and relative I have and still had enough credit to buy stale Twinkies for everyone.

Tina, I very seriously think you should ask about borrowing one of those dogs. If you're at all comfortable doing so. If nothing else, it would make you feel better, I'd bet.

I guess my son actually knows them, so it might be worth asking.  Of course, these are the same neighbors I sent the letter to when I could see into their shower.  I don't know if I could look them in the eye.

Shammy, I'm not sure if the guy could tell how uncomfortable I was. I'd like to think so, but then again, I shut off my house phone and that didn't give him the hint. Now it's a wait-and-see situation.  Thankfully I live 2 blocks from the police station and I know they have a decent response time.

ROFL!  Stale Twinkies...  **snort**

 Tina, really glad you talked to someone and feel a tad better. I hope he just gets the hint and backs off.

I'm on a roll today. Despite getting pretty much 0 sleep, I've done a ton of work for work, a load of laundry, cleaned out the refrigerator, washed some dishes and finished putting away all my clean clothes. Now, off to walk the dog, likely order out some food and maybe pop in a movie. Or maybe bed, this spurt of energy has to run out soon after all. If the SO has one more night like he did last night with the thrashing about, I'm moving into the guest room. And heck, I just washed the spare bed's sheets!

First & foremost, I have to thank everyone for their support.  I'm pretty sure I'd still be a puddle of useless mush if it weren't for y'all & your support over the last almost week.  The bruising from the kick in the gut I got on Friday is abaiting a bit.  It is so strange.  I was thinking how good Aspen looked & that he still had all of his teeth at 10 years old.  For a Papillon teeth is a big issue, especially for a pet store Pap.  Right now, I'm anxiously awaiting him coming home.  He was cremated.  He'll go right next to Maghee right by my side of the bed.  I just want him home now.  We're going to Yellowstone on Saturday & I'd love to have The Peanut home before we leave.  I THINK G would like that too.  He's really been up my butt more than normal.  I completely understand & have been trying to help him.  I asked my dog sitter to try & spend some extra time with him while we're gone.

Let's see if I can remember all I wanted to say now.

Glenda; good vibes for your sister & safe travel for Mike.

Megan: quick healing vibes for your mom.

Gina, I'm so sorry about the water in your house.  It really bites.

In answer to Amanda's question:  I've been known to.

Heather, if your family is anything like mine/DH's family might I suggest a good pair of ear plugs to silence the back seat drivers?  My FIL is such a BAD back-seat driver that he was giving me directions to a movie theater that he had NEVER been to before.  I prolly should add that said theater was in MY neighborhood.  Good luck to ya & I won't blame you if you have a bottle of vodka hidden in your luggage either, ~L~

Lisa, I'm glad that Riley's Drs appointment went well.  Here's to continued improvement & to you having your surgery scheduled ASAP.

Tina, I'm so worried for you.  Wanna borrow Grady?  He could use the company & you could use a potentially mean looking dog for a while.  Who knows, he might actually protect you too.

Cita, the one reason I'd like to delay my vacation for a few days would be so I could come down there & show you around the town.  By the time I get back, you'll be in school though.  Give Rascal some rubbies from me.

((HUGS)) Jackie.  I hope you feel better soon.

I was in the SGA office here at school making copies out of my textbook. The limit is 15 copies, I got up to 106 before another student wanted to use the copier...I hope they don't add that to my tuition or anything ROFL. The SGA office had pizza too, so I ate like two slices of that whilst making 10 times more copies than I'm allowed to.

I was happy to read about Riley's appointment!

Random question: (OMGZ don't judge me you guys) but yes. Every. Single. Time. It's like a weird habit so now when I get in the shower I *HAVE* to pee. If I get out I don't have to pee. I am a certified shower pee-er.

I guess I'll come out too and admit to the same damn thing!  lol  I thought it was my age but apparently shower peeitis knows no age limit.  I do not believe I confessed to this.

((((Annie)))

I think Annie summed it up nicely...

In answer to Amanda's question:  I'm a guy...we just don't do that!  We got class!  hehe

TINA....I'm comin down there to kick some A$$!!!!  STAT

I've got a tonnnnnn of blackberries picked and now don't know what to make with them...any ideas?

 I just saw a ton of blackberries, and wondered why anyone would need so many phones.

AAAAAHHHHH.... I spend so much of my time with a certain client correcting stuff from someone else. If I can get it right, and one of the other people can get it right, she should be able to handle it. It freaking holds this kid back when things aren't done right. The mistake I caught today holds our client back at least a week and a half for that item. We've got a lot to teach, and he takes a long time to learn. so I was a bit pissed about that. The mistakes are almost always hers.

If I could get my hands on that many blackberries (the food not the phone) everyone would be getting blackberry jelly for Christmas.  Yummy!
