The Crud is Gone....Mostly
I finally have managed to kick the crud, for the most part. I'm still stuffy, and coughing, but nowhere nearly as sick as I was last weekend. Good thing, it's not like the laundry was going to do itself or anything, LOL.
Jalen leaves for the inauguration Monday at 4 AM, which will be a hugely exciting experience for him. He'll get to be a part of history. I know he'll have fun on the trip. We went to Meijer tonight and he tacked about $25 worth of snacks onto my grocery bill for the ride down there and back. Funny kid.
Fred and I got some resolution to the big dilemma ... not really what either of us wanted, but after consulting a few professionals, probably the best answer at this time. So at least we can move forward and quit stressing over it. I've slept better, I think, since we now KNOW and there's not anymore guesswork, but still. All in all it's been stressful but at least we do have each other and we can maintain a little bit of a sense of humor over it.
Dodged a bullet today.... found out three of my coworkers have to go back to the office 2x a week minimum. I got excused due to distance and the fact my office is only a sales office. WHEW. Big sigh of relief; I was hugely worried. To the point I was even picking my two days. But I won't have to and I am REALLY glad and as much as I bitch about that job, I DO get to work at home. FULL-TIME, full pay, and full benefits. 'nuff said.
I haven't updated this much lately. Oh well. Not stressing it. It is what it is and when I feel like it I do. When I don't, I don't.
Jalen got the call from his dad that they had to put Venus down today; she was 14. She's been around almost all of Jalen's life. He got a little choked up over it and it upset him. He is the more sensitive of the two and I feel for him. I loved old Venus. When I would go over to let the dogs out or feed them, if Todd was out of town or working or whatever, I always played fetch in the house with Venus because I know it pisses him off. So she and I would have a good old time playing fetch, bouncing the ball off the walls, the floors, the ceiling, wherever..... of his big dollar house. to the point where she would meet me at the door with her ball anytime I went over there and Todd could never understand why she did that. HA! Joke's on him.
But she was a good pooch. It's sad. I worry about Maggie's fate, she is 13 in May and not getting any younger. Stiff joints, cataracts, a variety of old-dog ailments, but she still has good spirits. And China, lord, she's almost 15, but very spry for an old cat. She sleeps a lot but she still has her favorites (Jalen and me).
No school yesterday or today for the boys, due to the temps. It is dog-ass cold out there. I don't even want to see the next electric/gas bill.
Jenny - let's see if you get today's song!
