Not what I expected

So I just paid rent and a few bills and feel poor already! I cant completely complain though. I did not use the "half of rent" I had saved from the last pay check. I hope I can leave it untouched and keep the rest if my spending to $300 I have left. We shall see.

I received an e-mail from the guy I briefly dated this summer. He said he felt "no spark" so we agreed to be music buddies. Anyway the whole kiss at the end really through me. After he moved to Washington DC I asked him what that was about. I never heard back until this last week. Imagine my surprise when he said such things like "The last time, yes I wanted to make out very much. Want to go somewhere and be alone and smootch for a bit. I did not get that vibe from you. Kind of got a bit of buddy thing there from you. Just an awkward situation." Um, okay. You said there was no spark . . . "And with you not driving it seemed tough to have you visit me in Vancouver." What? I guess when we met in my neighborhood or DT I walked or took the Trolley so you assumed I had no car? Have you tried parking in my neighborhood? "So who knows, had we spent sometime watching a movie or some such quiet time it might have played out differently." Really? Don't you think it would have played out differently had you communicated your feelings with me in the first place? I had no idea! You were the one too busy to hang out anyway. You even blew me off on your last weekend after you asked me to save Saturday night!

There endeth the rant.

Be Thankful for who you are

Don't call me Captain Obvious just roll with the title. While I don't like dealing with the "Unstable One" but I am thankful to have a job. I do earn a ridiculous salary but have to join a union like now. The union does not want me to work at any other job but seriously. I have a lot of overtime but am only scheduled for 4 days per week in the next couple weeks schedule. The short of it is I have a job that is "temporary". I hate being in this position again! I just want to have permanence and plan for the future.

I am thankful for being a hot Bitch at 49 years of age, enjoying my family, having a roof over my head, having a job in this economy, having my health, the good fortune to bike nearly everyday, a creative mind and paying my bills. There are always variables but this is who I am.

Enjoy you and yours. Happy Thanksgiving.

I did not know

So I have been stressed lately but really? I have to work with a unstable person almost every night. Nobody else can stand her and they wont pick up the third shift if it is open because they don't want to be around her. Yes, that bad. I went to bed last night after the news at 11:30pm. I did not set an alarm (8:45am) thinking I might sleep in until 9:30 but I have not done that for awhile. I woke up at 11:00am - what! This is my only day off until the following Wednesday! I wanted to work on the chair project today but am taking "the day off". I am going to catch up on things, putter and of course bike. There is a huge storm front coming in the next few days that may dump up to 6 inches of rain in the Metro area. It was down near freezing with a freezing level at 1000 feet but with this storm coming in it is 47 currently and to get slightly warmer. Anyway, I don't think I will have the opportunity to bike after today so I must get my butt moving. Well, I could if I had scuba gear. I hope to get some unfinished posts done later today. Stay tuned!
