    Tired Tuesday talk

    Good Morning all.  Morning came too early and I've got a major presentation today at a bank so am guzzling the coffee and trying my darnedest to feel human.  Crossed fingers that I get the account would be appreciated!

    Overnight was awesomely cool and pleasant, but today, right back to hot and humid.  Certainly not the typical summer here.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Barb....wow...what a mess!  Glad you'll be able to stay with Mr. Calm!

    Best of luck on the presentation Glenda! JACKIE, I'll be thinking of you and Twister today. Continued prayers to Sarah and her Mom. I woke up with a crick in my neck, so I sit here with a heat pad on my neck and an ice pack on my foot. Lovely.

    Oh goodness yes.  Thinking of Jackie and Twister as well as sending love and prayers to Sarah, her Mom and family.  And Paige has had it rough lately too, so will send some hugs her way.

    Barb....talk about one extreme to the other!

    Thinking of Jackie & Twister and Sarah & family today.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my 3-day weekend. The only thing I didn't complete was waxing my truck. I did get most of the interior detailed.

    The massage was awesome - I really needed it. Lots of knots in my shoulders.

    Barb, glad you are getting a better boss at work. I hope your foot heals soon.

    My pear tomatoes are getting ripe! I've been eating them and they are just as good as I remember from last summer.

    Barb, sorry about your crick.  :(  I read your post yesterday about your soon to be ex boss.  Wow.  Hope all goes well with the transition.

    Tina, I'm jealous of your massage.  I could use one today.

    My stomach is in knots and I didn't sleep well.  I did find out that the oncologist Twister is seeing today went to Purdue. They are on the cutting edge of treatment for his type of cancer.  I felt very encouraged by that info.  Twister's appetite is back and he's feeling really good. :) He was shocked at not being given his breakfast this morning and I had to use every ounce of will power to not give him some food. 

    Good vibes going out to Sarah and her family.

     Hugs and vibes for Jackie, Sarah, Paige and Barb!

    Barb good luck whenever you do get to tell psycho lady you are going to work with the other person.............and congrats!!

    They finally came up with a product that would have been awesome when B was young - a GPS/e-collar/e-fence/lighted/waterproof collar system with a 9 mile range!  technology is stunning at times

    Today I am thrilled to announce that I am finally getting my hair cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The woman that normally does my hair had a baby in June and while she is off another stylist is covering for her. Needless to say the wait for appointments is ridiculous so I have been ready to cut my own hair for a week! It will be a relief to have it done

    Jackie I'm feeling positive!

    I have the Olympics on in the background and kayaking is on - thankfully that isn't the sort of stuff I do on the lake Big Smile

    Hugs to Jackie, Barb, and Sarah!

    Well, found out that I will be changing divisions.  As most of you know I currently work for OnStar and will be shifting over to big brother GM in the next few weeks.  Part of  me is happy since it opens up so many more opportunities and the office I might work out of is literally a mile from the house.

    However, working here is like working for a small company with big company benefits so I am a little apprehensive.  The other analytics department is HUGE so I will definitely become a small fish very quickly.

    My ENTIRE family is heading to Kings Island tomorrow for a quick overnight vacation.  It's the first time the entire clan will be together when there isn't someone getting married or for a funeral.  It should be a blast.

    Take care everyone!

     finally I have confirmation of the interview for the contract I am hoping to get - of course in the meantime i have scheduled various appointments that will conflict with delivery of the contract over the next month. Oh well, time will tell

    Lisa that sounds like fun! (not the conversion to small fish the Kings Island bash Wink)

    Jackie I am sending you and Twister positive vibes and big hugs.

    Sarah, prayers for you and your family..

    Barb congrats and good luck,  Glenda, good luck with the presentation,  Karen :) glad that things are headed in the right direction for your contract. 

    Lots going on here at work, it seems like the heat is making everyone sick or tired or cranky.....wish I could give everyone a "happy pill" :)

    Woke up thinking about Twister's appt. today and hoping it goes well.

    Also thinking about Sarah and her family.

    I hope Paige pops in to let us know how she's doing too.

    The Belize girls are back home today, right? I could tell from the pictures that they had a great time (thanks Julie!!).

    Congrats on the new position Lisa! I'm sure you'll be a big fish in no time :).

    You wouldn't think taking one day off would create a backlog of work but my desk is overflowing with paperwork :(.

    • Gold Top Dog

     Jackie - just read your post yesterday involving the cars...oh my!

    Barb - so glad to hear about your new boss!  I think you've earned it :)

    Sarah - you and your family are in my thoughts.

    I've decided I like my new hair color and will probably keep it this way for awhile.  I'll see about snapping some photos in direct light lol and share 'em here.  

    The significant other and I are FINALLY starting to do something with our condo.  As my coworker put it, we haven't "nested".  We're settling on a new dining room table and we're getting rid of a good portion of our current furniture and buying some new stuff.  Maybe we'll even FINALLY put up some pictures lol.  Rather, I'll have him put them up.  It's never pretty when I try to hang up pictures.  Hopefully, we'll be done in a month or so.

    Good thoughts and prayers coming for Jackie & Twister and Sarah & her family.

    I don't know what happened to our usual delta breeze, but it sure didn't kick in last night.  I stepped outside about 9 p.m. and it was h.o.t.  That odd little fan that DS #2 gave me was a real lifesaver.  I don't ever remember sleeping that well on a hot night.

    I noticed three or four big PG&E trucks on the closest cross street on Sunday.  One neighborhood in town has had some serious gas pipe leak problems, so I hope my neighborhood isn't next on the list ... and if it is, I hope PG&E manages to stay on top of it. You'd think that in older neighborhoods, they'd realize they have to check for gas leaks every now and then instead of waiting for a major break.
