My Boss Is Awesome

My new boss is an amazing guy. This morning, he was looking for a budget that he had put on my desk the other day with a memo to copy and distribute. I never saw it. And we couldn't find it. I have about six projects going at the moment, in addition to my regular duties, and my desk has been a... Sign in to see full entry.

Reading Material

I've been working my way through Anne McCaffrey's "Pern" series (see my Reviews blog for details), and am now trying to find the three most recent books so that I can finish the series. While waiting, I am reading The Murder of Princess Diana, by Noel Botham. This book is scary. If even one-tenth of... Sign in to see full entry.

An Interesting Weekend

And busy. And now I am getting back into my normal schedule. Basketball season is almost over, and then life will fall back into the predictable, simple routine that I like. I started the Lemonade Diet/Master Cleanse on Friday, and you can read all about that journey in my " Lower Your Carbs " blog.... Sign in to see full entry.

My Ex Is the Most Unbelieveable Person

I cannot believe his most recent request. Background: When I was pregnant with my sons, I craved tuna. Tuna salad, tuna patties, tuna casserole... I could have lived off canned tuna for the two weeks that the craving lasted. But my ex gave me such a bad time about it. Didn't want me to buy it. Told... Sign in to see full entry.

Tomorrow is Thursday!

Yay! One of my favourite days of the week. I don't know why. Maybe because the hardest part of the week is past. Maybe because it's the first of five days in a row when I have a free evening. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have things I have to do after work. But Thursday through Sunday, all of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Tired.

It's been a long day. I think my co-worker must have been given her annual performance review, because she has been in a foul mood since Monday, and she hardly speaks to anyone. Anyway, the negative vibes are palpable, and enervating. I hope the tension and unpleasantness let up soon. Tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.

Made It Through the Day

I really hate Valentine's Day. I never really liked it before my divorce, and I simply hate it now. There are those of us who cannot afford to give so much as a card to those we love, and we end up feeling guilty about it. There are those whom nobody loves, and they go through the day feeling lonely... Sign in to see full entry.

Success!

I lost six pounds this week, and managed to stick to my diet for 7 days straight. The concert to benefit the Church Health Center was wonderful, and I am sure that we raised a lot of money for this worthy cause. While I didn't get everything on my list for this weekend done, I accomplished 16 of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Looking Forward to a Long Weekend

My folks are going out of town for the weekend, and so I am taking a half-day off tomorrow so that they can get an early start. I'm looking forward to it. I plan to do a lot of the household chores tomorrow afternoon. On Saturday, I have two kids' basketball games and a rehearsal that will keep me... Sign in to see full entry.

Responsibilities

I am very active in my church, and sometimes it catches up with me. Tonight was one of those nights. I do a lot of the communications work for the church: sending out press releases for events, and that sort of thing. That means that when there's a group meeting of the church's committees, I have to... Sign in to see full entry.
