I caught myself...jeez, NASDAQ where the heck did that come from??????  Anyhoo, Hugz*

                                                  

hello everyone ~

 

This morning has been finding me way down in the doldrums, not sure why ~ worry, stress, PMS again...a hodgepodge of things that aren't sitting right within me.

Been off of work yesterday, today and most probably tomorrow also, but my bosses swear that everything's alright; they had the head honcho show up this past Wednesday so the schedule for everyone has been thrown into the winds and no one knows when they are working or when they are not, I don't feel that much badly knowing everyone at work is in the same situation as I am.  It's all about profit and cutting down on staff offers in order to make said profit.  Hope they get their heads out of their ass soon.  I hate not knowing what's going on day to day, esp with work.

I've had nightmares for the past two nights or so ~ therein i haven't been sleeping well and been waking up with sweats and my back killing me in the process.  Had to take two klonopin this morning to just calm the anxiety/panic going on inside of me and no, it's not all because of work ~ my emotions seem to be right on my shoulder right now and it's very uncomfortable.

Yes, this is a "whiney" entry, but at least I get some of these things off of my "chest" per sae.  Not sure how much writing will help for the underlying crap is still there no matter what.

There are so many things that I worry about, probably things I shouldn't worry about, things that irritate me and things that just damned well pisses me off.

 

 

(1)  gas prices and the convoluted profits that oil companies are bragging about.  What get's me ?  is the fact that we have oil refineries not a hour to two hours away and still the gas prices go up and up and those asshole  CEO's within Exxon, Chevron and Shell (the top three moneymakers) BRAG about this shyt.  Must say they have balls to be able to do so.  We have oil in peoples back yards here just going to waste because of Pres. Carters NASDAQ agreement. WE have oil in our own back yards with the rig's already set up... and because of that agreement with NASDAQ, it can't be touched...because the agreement was to purchase oil form the Saudi Oil Meatheads over there.  Let alone the oil available from South America and in Mexico.  It's THERE  ~ but we can't touch it because of government and politics.  Maybe if Mexico would actually do something about their oil overload they might make something of their country ~ get rid of the corruption and stop the illegal immigrants from coming this country to take jobs and lower wages for American Workers. But that's just my little ideas.  I also believe that car manufacturers should be MADE to do something about the size of vehicles they make and how to establish control about gas use.  Make the vehicles more car efficient, if anything charge any of those people that choose to use those huge monstrosities pay extra for their gas and the one's that are being responsible and purchasing hybrid cars, or more fuel efficient cars cheaper prices. grrrrrrrrrrr.  Getting off of that soap box.

 

(2)  Politics ~ I'm freaking sick of them all.  They will be lucky if I vote at all with all the name calling, bickering, backstabbing etc. that's happening.  I'm ready to tell them all to stuff themselves.

 

Okay, that's enough...I'm just in a really down mood today and I cried on the phone with Cindy...I don't think she knows quite what to do with me when I'm in these places in my head.

Blessings*

 

 

       

Can we say "oh my goodness, thank Goddess this week is over!" This week has been utter heck and back.  I'm beyond tired, I'm exhausted .  I have the next two days off which by the way are full already with things that need to be done around here & otherwise.  Poor Cindy is pooped too .

At the moment, we are "babysitting" my friends Terry & Dar's two dogs Jeda and Tinkerbell ~ Jeda is the diabetic Mini Doberman Pinscher and Tinkerbell is a Mini Schnauzer.  Jeda requires insulin twice a day ~ Tinkerbell thinks she's a princess and they are both spoiled totally rotten.  Lares and Draco still haven't decided what they think about them, they are overall being very well behaved ~ both sets of children.  Jeda and Tink want to whine all the time tho and between trying to be affectionate to them and to not let Lares and Draco feel slighted it's a madhouse.  Hopefully Terry and Dar will pick them up tomorrow or I will go to meet Terry at a halfway point on Monday to drop them off.  I miss being able to sit in the living room with the boys situated beside one of us (Cindy or I), they miss their time with us also and it makes me feel terribly guilty.

Last Sunday Cindy and I took her Nephew to see Horton hears a Who...or is that Morton???? I can't remember!  anyway it's a Dr. Seuss movie and overall is wasn't that bad!  C's Nephew greatly enjoyed it and that's the main point.  It had a lesson in it ~ so it was nice. 

I didn't get a chance to do my Ostera/Spring Equinox/Vernal Equinox entry but I will try to do it either tomorrow or in the next couple of days ~ I worked 11 hours on the 20th and believe me the last thing I was thinking of was Ostera nothing at all LOL.  All I knew was when I finally got home, put on my nightgown, lay my head on the pillow and I don't remember anything after that until I woke up 4:30 in the morning (oh, other than my legs and feet aching during the night).  It was a full moon though and that brought a little more power to the event anyway.  It's beautiful out here when it's a full moon - it's black dark here because we are far away from city lights etc.  so when the moon is full it's like everything is painted with silver - almost like a different kind of sunlight! 

I will also try within the next couple of days to get around to everyone's journal, I'm sorry I haven't been able to it's been just too busy & too tired, didn't have the patience to deal with the slowness of my dial up connection. Which by the way, we will hopefully be getting broadband within the next couple of weeks so that should eliminate that problem, won't that be GREAT?? heck yeah it will  LOL.  Cindy actually finally found a company that comes out this far!  WHOOOHOOOOOO!!!!  :: blowin' kisses at her  sayin' thank you Baby::  living in the boonies is good for a lot of reasons but lack of things like broadband isn't one of them!  lol.  Okay, I think I'm going to go for now. Tired and I want to relax some.

Wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Good Morning everyone!

Thought I'd write a quickie entry and say I hope everyone has a great weekend. 

I have a lunch shift at work today yet I have no idea what time I will actually get out of that place LOL.

Cindy and I will probably be working around the house and yard this weekend cuz it's supposed to rain on Monday and while the weather is good we need to get some things accomplished...such as working on the wood floors and raking leaves out of the yard.  It was in the lower 80's here yesterday and should be about the same today... I NEED to get my a/c in my car worked on and the windows tinted (you HAVE to have your windows tinted in Texas because during the summer months the heat will fry you and the interior of your car).

Right now the temperature outside is about 66 degrees and it's beautiful even if it is still dark LOL.

I hope next year to actually plant some bulb flowers in the yard and the flower beds so when it comes time I will have tulips, hyacinth (spelling?) and others like that, there is already a pale yellow daffodil flower in the yard and in a few weeks there will be these very pretty small white flowers all over the place too.  We had a Wisteria bush in the center of the front yard but Cindy cut that down last summer because it was branching out too much and she was afraid the root system would disrupt the sprinkler system in the yard as well as grow up the huge oak tree in front and suffocate it.  I love Wisteria but it had been allowed for too many years to just grow wild ~ if Wisteria is tended correctly and kept pruned and on a trellis or arbor it is a beautiful thing!  if left unattended it encroaches over everything in it's path. Now, how much of what is planned actually takes affect LOL is another story entirely!!

Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend and I hope everyone's weather is improving and will be nice.

The Spring Equinox/Vernal Equinox OR Ostara...is on March 21st... I will hopefully be making a entry explaining what it is about so all you "non-pagans" out there know what and where the Easter Egg originated from LOL...as well as other things that show where Ostara predates Christianity and how Christianity tied Ostara into it's system.  That should be interesting (or at least I think so).  I'm looking forward to it and hunting for graphics and other information for it also... I didn't get to do one for the Winter Solstice or Lammas because I was either in Oregon or had just gotten back from Oregon.

This wonderful tag was made for me by Donna over at D's Designs ~ thank you Donna!

 

Just a quick entry to let everyone know everything is ok.  Been busy this week with work and around the house, trying to get around to everyone's journals and leave comments, haven't made it to all of them though lol.

I have double shifts today and tomorrow and then my usual lunch shift on Saturday ~ of course last Saturday by the time I got out I might as well have worked a double LOL, it was a busy day and by the time I got home my feet were killing me and I didn't at that point care if I saw another human being for awhile the exception being Cindy of course ~ I would have been happy.

Cindy has been pretty busy at her job also ~ one of her co worker's daughter (she's 16) has within the last month been diagnosed with Hodgkin's (spelling?) lymphoma (I hope I spelled that right) and the place where she worked the owner and about 50 other of the male employees had their heads shaved in support of this man's daughter, she's had to shave hers because of the chemotherapy... wasn't that great?  I think so...the owner also had those rubber bracelets made in support of her in her favorite color a deep purple. So even though you don't know her shout out a prayer/blessing or whatever it is you do in your belief (or non belief) 'k?  She's a brave young woman and has a excellent attitude about fighting this crap.

Alright, I'm out of here, need to get some things done before work.  I hope you all have a great week!  by the way, the weather the last couple days has been very nice here, will be (the weatherman says) 79 or 80 degrees!  of course we are expecting more rain lol.  The boys have been loving being able to be in the run for a couple hours at a time ~ Hugz*

 

P.S.  Can everyone comment and let me know if all my animations on my page are working? (wondering because I've been reading and been told that AOL is having issues with GIF files)  Thanks !

                          

Ok, Ms. Teresa is NOT in a good mood this morning, nor was she yesterday either for that matter.

Most of the reason is PMS, it's driving me nuts ~ I'm irritable about most everything and anything. I have cramps, I'm feeling bitchy, whiney, totally out of patience. So, if you don't wish to read about this then the little red "X" up in the upper right hand corner is for you. (smiling as I write that).

Okay, yesterday at lunch shift (work) 3 of the other server's didn't show up for their shifts so the one's of us that were responsible and there like we were supposed to be had to take up their slack this made lunch rush very interesting and freaking stressful.  I get this one 8 top ~ with the prima donna of princesses (blonde bimbo that is spoiled rotten and utterly snobbish sort with her darling "daddy" in tow & her "admiring" court of admirers) wonder if Paris Hilton is like this??? I don't know if the best pay check in the world could cover having to deal with spoilt rotten bytches!  Other than making sure you are in their will substantially and hiring a hit squad with the paycheck ROFL!! Oh jeez, I'm in a mood aren't I?  Anyway ~ on with the princess story, she starts placing these orders around very sneeringly and nasty.  I go to the table to take the order and she's trying to tell me how to do this and do that, me? I ignore her ass and go to everyone else on the table and take their orders and leave her to last...she wasn't happy lol.  I looked at her with a look in my eyes (my boss says) that said " I'm not impressed with you nor your antics, you aren't going to push me around & I will NOT deal with your attitude so go ahead, make my day and then I smile (if you call baring of one's teeth to someone a smile) ~ anyway, it's not like we weren't swamped, ran over, buried up to our eyeteeth with other "guests" (which by the way of course, happens on the day 3 others don't show up for their shifts) we were asking everyone to please bide with us that we were short server's and woulddo the best we could.  Most everyone was ok with that.  My boss was still chuckling about how I handled the blonde bytch lol.  Been doing this kind of work for far too long to let her get to me. (sigh) then of course last night's shift was waaaaaaaaaay slow.

It's been raining all afternoon yesterday and last night, still is this morning except it's turning to ice and snow now.  I'm talking to Cindy on the phone now (she's on her way to work and she said it's snowing).

All right, I guess that's enough "grumping" for now.  I hope everyone has a good day.

(No, not all the time, just some of the times <grin>)
