I'm disappointed in myself that I haven't blogged. I had a really good week last week and had a lot of good stories to tell. Of course, that was then, and with my bad memory, this is now. Maybe we'll get lucky and as I type this things that happened will come back to me. Cross your fingers. I did take some pictures last week, so that could help jog my memory.
For example, the day I went to work and everywhere I turned there were these buzzard bird things eating some dead creature on the side of the road. In this picture it's an armadillo. Two turns later there were more. I don't know what they were eating, but it must have been yummy. It's crazy to me how they swarm. One thing I found very funny in this particular picture, though, was that there's this one bird... you see it there on the sidewalk... just watching the other birds try and get to the meat. It just looked so smug. Like, I'll just sit here and wait for you effers to tear off that hard shell on that creature and once you get to the meat, I'll be here ready to eat. Yeah, maybe I thought about this too much.
Went to Disney recently with a friend of mine. We both work for Disney and are interested in this shift they have for the parade. However, she and I work too far from the pixie dust, so we went for lunch and then a tour of Disney. Did all the super sneaky stuff involved with Disney and now we're ready to pick up some shifts. Knowing me, I'll still get lost, but it was a good day and lots of fun.
This weekend I went back to my old stomping grounds - South Florida... err I mean North Cuba. I didn't realize how long it's been since I've visited until I hit all the construction. I couldn't recognize the place. Maybe next time all the construction will be done and it will be smooth sailing. I won't hold my breath, though. I did have a great time with the family. That's all that really matters. Of course, today I woke up exhausted. I don't know why. I was in slow motion all day. I did get a lot done and am pleased that I'm mostly caught up from being off Friday. This taking time off from work isn't so bad. I think I'll do it again soon ...
No, this didn't happen to me, although I am getting older. I'm told that the older you get, it happens frequently. I'm not looking forward to those days. But today my lunch pals and I got into a conversation about how we handle ourselves when something threatening and scary happens. This resulted in at least 5 minutes of laughing and trying not to pee my pants. I can't say whether one of my lunch pals did or did not pee a little, but we all fed off each other and kept laughing harder and harder. Today was a day that really solidified our friendship and made it clear that we're perfect for each other.
I've been sleeping later and later, to the point where I'm being woken up by my alarm. I was enjoying waking up early and getting to work early, but now I'm enjoying sleeping in more. There must be a happy medium that I can sleep in but not wake up to the alarm... like wake up a minute earlier than the alarm. But then, I like waking up early because then I have time to straighten the house before I go to work. See, there's good and bad with each option. Could be worse though, I could just hate hate hate hate waking ... oh wait .. I do, I am MissRable, after all! just kidding (this time) LOL
I've determined that my lunch hour is the time of day that will make or break me. Years ago, at a prior job, my husband ("DH") and I would have lunch together every day. Then he got transferred too far away to have lunch with me. Time went by and I became more and more unhappy. Six months later I left that job and went to a new job, which happened to be closer to DH. We went back to our routine of daily lunches together. The entire time I was at that job, through the ups and downs, I was generally happy. Now I'm at a new job and DH is too far away to have lunch with me. This is ok because I have met some wonderful friends at my job that I have lunch with every day. I feel very lucky and blessed. At first I began having lunch with Jenny. Sometime after, Lauren started lunching with us each day. Then Dani and Ashley. More time passed and people left and new people came in. Now, I'm having lunch every day with Lauren, Paula, and Dani occasionally shows up. When Paula first started joining us, I couldn't figure her out. Something about her didn't resonate properly with me. But now, many months later, I have to admit that I really enjoy her company. What I know most is that I *need* Lauren's company. This girl is a special, classy girl who knows what to say and how to say it. Someday her grace will rub off on me (not likely, but I'll keep on with the wishful thinking). She helps me through the day like DH used to. I'm blessed that no matter how stressful my day is, or who frustrates me, I have had my husband or my friends to vent to and help me through the day.
