I fell down.

I told Jess my falling down story, she asked if I blogged about it. Yes, I did, but on MySpace, so because she doesn't read my much happier blogs over there (I save the sad stuff just for ya'll!), she said I must post it here.

I picked Gabby up from her dad's, and on the way out the car, I stepped on a crack wrong...twisted my ankle and went flying through the air. Almost literally. Well, that makes it sound graceful...maybe just tumbling and rollilng describes it better. All the while thinking in slow motion, "You're falling. You're really going to fall, dumbass! How did this happen? No, really, you're actually tripping and falling!"

I twisted my ankle bad, but I've iced it...as well as my wrist, and the pain as subsided a bit. On top of that I have a scab on my knee...I scraped the skin off a couple of toes, and the nail polish off my big toe. I think there might be a scrape on my elbow as well. How does this happen!!!??? It was quite embarrassing, especially when all of Gabby's aunts and cousins came running out...oh, yea, and when the guy across the street got in his car and drove by, then leaned out the window to ask if we needed help...that was humiliating as well.

So, that happened after I had a pretty good day. Saw 27 Dresses...and had a White Cherry Icee!

Going to bed. It's late...and I just think about stuff too much on the weekends. I need my weekly structure...BADLY! I can't wait to go to work tomorrow!

I was all sorts of confused!!! Now that I know that's your birthday, I WON'T forget! Jess' husbands b-day is the 10th, and I knew I had forgotten it!

I can't believe that you forgot! Zook's is tomorrow and we ALWAYS celebrated our birthday's in the office. We LOVED it--so much fun. Like my 30th when they completely covered my car with black crepe paper and put signs all through the halls--and hung the buzzard over my desk. Classic.

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...
