    Wednesday!

    Half way thru guys :) Jan, from yesterday, that is a tough one. I am by no means an expert or experienced in these things but you might want to let it sit for a few days. How often do you do work for that client? I have conferences for the next 2 days. Meh. The problem is that I am feeling the pressure to get this stinking report done and I can't work on it while at a conference. I got the meat of it done yesterday but I would really like to attack it today and get more done. Warm here, around 50ish. Go go spring weather

    I 2nd that!

    Really busy the past few days since I am trying to catch up from being out sick 2 days last week.  Riley is still a snotty mess, so I doubt she will be going to school.  I talked to her teacher yesterday and she said 4 of her 6 students were out of her morning class!  YIKES!  At least it sounds like they are all getting sick at the same time which I think is a good thing.

    I leave for Palm Springs in 23 days!  Whoo Hoo!

    I am strangely wide awake and very alert this morning.  I've been sleeping really well lately.

     

    Anyway, so what's everybody doing for the Superbowl ?  We usually go to the local watering hole for the first half and then watch the second half at home.  That way, we're home before all the serious drunks are out on the road.  Of course by Monday, I'll feel like I'm in a beeer and food coma as per usual.

    I barely slept all night and I don't know why.

    I have to schedule my 2nd round of vaccines with Viking for next Monday or this Saturday. Fiance was supposed to but he has forgotten the past two days so I'm just going to do it myself (he is very forgetful, we're meeting with a nutritionist about it). It's raining right now but I'm hoping it doesn't continue to rain all day because I had wanted to work on Viking's leash skills out front. Otherwise I'll just work on recall in the house. I also have to schedule my horseback riding lesson at a new barn (I found out some things about my barn that made me disapprove of their practices) and go to the asian market for some octopus. I feel like there just isn't enough time in my days!

    On the plus side, this week-end my fiance isn't going on a 3 day vacation so we can just relax.

    Deb, it's the beeer that gets you.  Beer wouldn't be half as bad. Stick out tongue

    New uniform website is down for maintenance - the first day with the new supplier is not impressing me at all.  Yesterday I had to bite my tongue seriously hard.  One of our store managers sent the order, then followed it with an email that said "if these are tight, I will have to return them.  I don't like tight clothes."  Um, yeah, I know.  This is not the first time I've handled uniforms and dealt with your preferences.  Sheesh people, give me some credit.

    Owner meeting here today, so I'll have to attempt to behave.

     Morning all.  Heading home today but will certainly miss this awesome weather.  I've been sitting on the deck with my coffee for the past hour or so, just soaking up the sunshine and mild temps.  No idea what it's like at home.

    All of this has really hit me hard the past two days.....stuff is done and it's I guess time to get back to the business of living.  I'm trying really hard to figure out how to do that and I wonder if there is something wrong with me that I can even THINK about getting back to the business of living when Mike is no longer with us.  Sitting on the deck and soaking up the sunshine??  My son, MY sunshine, is sitting in a box in a bag on the kitchen table and I'm enjoying something?  Is that really wrong?  I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, how I'm supposed to act, and apologies for being such a downer and such a mess.  This is really, REALLY hard and darn it, I don't know how to do it.

    OK, sucking it up now and returning to the Tough Old Broad mode.

    Seriously tho?  Hug your kids today.  Hug everyone you love extra hard.

    Glenda, it is not wrong to be enjoying something.  We all have to move forward.  It doesn't mean you care any less or have forgotten Mike.  Don't you think he'd want you to live, really live and find the good there is? Even if you remain stuck in grief and guilt, it still won't bring him back.

    Heck yeah!!  LOL

    Glenda, you don't have to apologize for feeling the way you do.  There's no right or wrong way to grieve.  One day at a time. 

    Another foggy morning here.  Belle has an vet appointment for her rattlesnake vaccine which I somehow let get overdue.  With the warm weather, that's not a good thing.

    Welcome to MC LadyFreckles. :)

     Holy Spring batman!!  it is stunning outside and heading to 70*!!! Bugsy played with a recently shaved, 1 yr old shih tzu who as a guess weights under 10 lbs.  Talk about laughing!!!!

    I have a TV interview 9:30 am on Monday - yes the morning after the GIANTS play in the Superbowl. I am not pleased with this timing! I don't think gorging on beer and chips will help my look

    Janice I think that as long as your increase is inline with the going rate - leave it. She can look elsewhere and find that out and will no doubt be back. To start over with someone else will cost her a whole lot more!  Pricing is one of those things that I HATE!  I am always wanting to give everyone a deal which has been evident in a recent bidding i am involved with where I said I would provide the stated services for $500 and the other quotes are $1000-$7500 Indifferent  It is for a state organization and I always offer reduced rates to non-profits (I normally charge $1000 for this)  but even I feel too cheap on this one LOL 

    I was thrilled to have set up a new router on the old modem and gotten the results I had hoped for until about 30 minutes ago when DH couldn't print from the network printer.  I don't hear him cursing anymore so hopefully I 'fixed' it but I feel like I had better check

    Safe travels home Glenda My super bowl plans involve dinner at a place with no tv, then home watching some movie. Not sure what the movie is.

    Glenda, I'm positive that your son would want you to enjoy the sunshine...every day.  He's not in that box in a bag, he's all around you, in spirit.  It is hard, and confusing and unfair.

    Glenda -- TIME, dearheart -- it's the only thing that cures this.  Time, and being able to sort thru your memories to retrieve all the best that was Mike, and how he changed *you* (he was your first -- he taught you everything!!).  We all understand.  and we'll all make allowances. *hugs*

    Superbowl -- is that this weekend?  (no I'm not kidding -- I really don't ever know) -- all I'm thinking about is going to the Highland Games and having fun!!  But if the Superbowl is Sunday that's gonna change what time we drive home!!
