Poems of Love

we're being hit with a NorEast'r today. the weather network got it right this time. they are calling for 30-40cm by the time it is done with. i did blow out the driveway around noon, but will no doubt do it again in the morning, after things stop. i love using the snowblower. maybe i can make a living doing that....the WFH gig is not going well this week. first of all, they were closed from 24-tomorrow, and my hours for this week all got denied. i kinda thought that as long as i was a top performer, i would get hours. well i guess being in the top three on every project for the past couple of months doesn't matter. i will be anxious to see who is working. i was told that seniority did not matter, well what does? very frustrated with that right now. 

christmas--was fantastic. we were all together and we all had a great evening. the feast was fabulous, and all is right in my inner circle world. 

i will take a picture of the snow tomorrow, after the driveway is done. i am a little OCD about how the driveway looks after a storm, like it to be as near to perfect as i can get it. 

just a short blurb to let you know i'm still around. have a wonderful evening....make it GREAT~ because we have it within each of us to do so. poet

december is not usually the time to concern ourselves with flooding, but this year Mother Nature had other plans. Thanks to the following people who shared their photos on Facebook:

gonna try and get a theme going with this blog. i mean i have Wordless Wednesdays and the Saturday SnapShot, so why not weekly wrap up for sundays? 

let's see; the antibiotics are working well, and i have now been able to put the aerosol machine away (til next time).am still using my AdVair twice a day (double dose each time- as that is how it is directed for when i get exposed, or sick with a cold). i am finally sleeping a little better too, so that makes things better as well.  i am still put out about not being able to go to conference, but i will get used to the idea eventually. 

k's job is going well. she works very hard for over 8 hrs every day. she is getting faster too, so the faster she gets, the more reports she can complete and more money she can make. i'm so proud of you, bestus, for doing such a good job!!  my job is the same as it has been. sometimes good projects, mostly crappy ones. i really did enjoy the union ones and the business calling projects, much more professional people to deal with. they realize i am not selling anything and are generally happy to answer my questions. the ones i got put on later in the week, however, much more difficult and a lot lower flow rate for me. i was very frustrated with the whole thing really, and if that was the only type of project they ever got, i would have quit friday. 

i know i should just be thankful that i am able to work from home. i am really, just sort of wish i would have better projects to work on. i mean, i am in the top 10 now (and only been working with them since october, so that is pretty good i think). i still wish they had a monetary incentive for good stats. but my team supe said the incentive for good work is more work and more or better hours. so i guess i will just suck it up.

christmas is coming along. k has been doing all the shopping. i will take R shopping for k next w/end, and i will head out early a morning this week and do her shopping too. i have to go when there is less chance of lots of people.  less chance to get exposed to scent that way.  the tree gets put up on the sunday before christmas (tradition), and we don't put up a lot of decorations (cats + decorations= disaster usually).


since we began counting those calories and Kane has been taking me for longer walks, i weighed in this morning at 196. :) that is half pound down from last week. ;) yaay. now to just drag my sorry butt to curves, i am sure that would help. 

we are being taken out for supper tonight. the inner circle takes turns with sunday supper, and it is r's turn and she is going to take us all out to franks' finer diner. hopefully it will be yummy. checked their menu online seems to be all the usual fare. i have not decided what i want yet, we'll see when we get there. 

off to go fold laundry now. exciting i know. we got a good deal of house work done today, and things actually look pretty good here. 


take care and have a wonderful sunday, make it GREAT~ poet.
