today
Hello stranger.
It's been awhile. Oh, how I have missed thee! Cynical nurse has me in stitches again. Yes, yes, welcome the LTC middle managers with open arms and uppercuts.
Have had an abundance of ups and downs this month...
Still have a lingering sinus issue (going on week 4) and planning to see the doc on Friday for ear check. Constant stabby pain= probable ear infection. Boo!
Bank card number lifted and abused to the tune of thousands, all-over-the world! Pain in ass to perform all the cautionary steps of reporting and replacing, but it's another lesson in life. Knowing now can help someone else later. Finally have Credit Bureau reports in hand, so need to get them to FBI.
Interesting jury case. The time spent in the courtroom has taken away from my gym time/Me time and I'm quite cranky pants about that. It's also taken me away from half my paycheck and my duties as an ombudsman. I shall return to that position tonight and see how my old-timers are getting along.
The girlie is going through shit at school again. I am going to box those 2 little girls' ears if they don't back off. They're getting the boys involved now and it's wreaking havoc with long-standing friendships. Why? I suspect because it's nearly Valentines Day, and they are playing the bullshit game that kids play. I did discuss the option of not passing out Valentines in class at this age. He was receptive but indicated that there are some students that don't get the love at home, and this may be all the interaction they get. Point taken. We opted to not buy VD cards this year.
I think all the routine upsets this month have me feeling an extra pinch. I am starting to mourn the loss of Ris. 40 years of friendship. 43 is too young to die. Seeing old photographs of our childhood online hasn't helped. Or has it? Idk. I feel the tears behind my eyes at times and wonder, "Is the today the day they will fall?'
Travel plans are shot in the foot. I've partially recovered finances from the bank but I am told it could 60 days before eveything is clear. Ugh.
In the meantime, positives:
1. Planning the girlie's 10th birthday which is going to be a hoot.
2. Feeling well enough to get back to the gym today or tomorrow, and a whole weekend to kick it.
3. Serious consideration to going back to TSD. I keep getting invites from Sarah for TKD but it's too far to drive. The girlie and me have some boxing to do. Gonna get these flappers back in fighting shape!
New goals: Return to solid mass of curvy hell on sneakers! My badass self is showing and I like it!
