I think I can blog from my new iPhone. Well we'll see if this posts! Lol. I might have a character limit idk yet
Life is ok at the moment. Work is work. When our trucks were both down my sister Sara started spending the might here...all week ...so that she can have a ride into work. It's not an ideal situation. She's my sister and I love her but these past few weeks have been interesting
Gotta go

The Price
The price for having Thanksgiving day off at my job is: having to work the following Saturday. BOOOO!! At least we only worked 5.5 hours today. There is that much. Since we also have Monday off - we get an extra holiday a year and they give it to us on the first day of rifle hunting season, go fif. lol. But we'll probbly have to work next Saturday too because of that. Oh well, at least it'll look nice in the paycheck. Given the stress I was under today, tryig to catch all my product (damn knuckles anyway) and train my new hire...I am so ready not to go back on Tuesday. I wonder if Unemployment would except stress and insanity as a good reason to quit. Probably not.
Of coure, when it rains it pours. Justin had pulled the engine in our blue dodge when the engine in our green dodge decides to go! So now he's trying to get the blue one back together so he can work on the green one. The green one was a gift from his parents, a truck he's wanted since a teen. The engine shouldn't have went, since it hadn't been out of the garage that long. But I think it came with the problem, so no one can blaim my driving, or Justin's!
I apologize for any typoes I miss. I'm sitting in an awkward position, and I'm trying to type too fast. Justin also decided that now was a good time to do some remodeling in the trailer since it's basically ours now. He tore out an entire wall...2 closets...to connect 2 rooms. It'll be nice when we're done...it's just getting there that will take forever!! In the mean time, my copmuter position is a pain in the tookus.
Such is life.
I get to see the doctor on Monday. I hope I can get more medicine from him. I think that anti-depressant was beginning to work, but since I couldn't see him the first time, I ran out and have to wait to see him. It wasn't doing a thorough job, I still woke up during the night, which is why he gave it to me in the first place. Maybe a higher dose. idk. we'll see.

Thanksgiving!
Hope all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving is having a happy one! Justin and I will be going to his remaining a little later today. It is usually a nice experience.
Missing family today. I remember several Thanksgiving meals growing up that were crowded. Junior and his fam would come, always Glenda. We have one picture of all ten of us kids gathered around our father. It is a treasured picture, as only one other picture like that exists.
Have a good day everyone, I just don't have anything else to write at the moment.

Alone
Alone at last.
My sister has been spending a few days with us because our truck has been down and since she rides to work with me, it's easier for her to catch a ride with my ride than finding one of her own.
And I was having a rough evening last night, and just wanted to be alone...but since she is here I really couldn't. And when Justin came home and turned on his X-box, well that ruled out the bedroom anyway.
But they are both gone ... he's gone up to the mountain to work on the truck, she's gone shopping with our mother. So I'm blogging and facebooking while doing laundry. I'm going to drag out the poem I started about my late brother and see if I can't get that posted later this weekend.
Of course, I will grow tired of the aloneness eventually and wish them back. Unless they come back before I'm ready! lol! Have a good weekend everyone.

Reality Bites
Actually, the reality of this mornings phone call has not set in yet. We've only had phone service back for a week, internet a little less. And what news and what comfort it brings at the same time.
I received 2 phone calls early this morning. I should have been up and out of bed already, but since Justin was going to drive my sister and I into work, I was cheating and staying in bed a few extra minutes. It was my Mother telling me that my oldest brother had had a minor heart attack an was on his way into surgery for a blockage. I didn't think much of it, 'minor' heartattack...blockage...no big deal...they fix this stuff all the time...Uncle Bob had one and was ok. But maybe 5 minutes later, she called again...this time to say that he hadn't made it.
The reality has not hit me yet. I feel the shock and the sorrow...but thre is a tiny corner of my mind that is protesting. This can't be real. Icky can't really be dead. (His name was Glen Richard but his knickname was Icky for some reason I've never known) He was too young...maybe 54 or 55...the first three kids were so close in age, I'm never sure. Was. Apparently part of me has accepted the reality. My first instinct was just like those I've read in the 'In Death' series...'No, it's no true. I'll call him and ask him what the heck is going on.' I always had trouble believing the reality of those written reactions. But now I know the truth of them.
I've lost my brother. I have five. Even death does not change that. His sons, my nephews, have lost their father. He was also a grandfather. He liked to drink coffee...like water!
It's a crappy way to start the week.

Another Blogpost about the Earthquake
I imagine that I can't say anything new about today's earthquake on the eastern seaboard. I actually thought I was having some sort of high blood sugar hallucination, but I took my sugar and it was that high! Honest, even though I'd had 2 donuts! I was just sitting in my kitchen, talking on my cellphone with my mom and I all of a sudden said to her, "Why is my trailer shaking?" Of course, being almost 150miles north of my she didn't have an answer! She didn't feel it. But I did! The trailer shook just like my washing machine was spinning out unbalanced...and I could see the walls and floor shaking! I made the mistake of standing up, and felt dizzy and unsteady, just like I was drunk...which I've only ever been once, which I'll never forget and will valiantly try to never repeat! But that's what it felt like to me!

Another Day When I don't get to do what I want...
Well, here we are. It's another Saturday, and I'm not getting to do what I want. All I really wanted to do for the past two weekends all I've wanted to do is veg out in front of our computer and work on my one story. But life has intervened and I've had to do other things. Last weekend...I got wrangled into cleaning and chores...lol! This weekend Justin and I ... ok, mostly Justin ... are at his parents to use their internet connection to figure out why the white Xbox is not playing the games that he moved there correctly. Something to do with the system settings no doubt.
My birthday was ok, had a family reunion that day and everything was pleasant enough.
I shaved my head about 3 weeks ago, and have been loving the lighter cooler head. OF course, a lot of people think I'm whacked...or that I look like a cancer patient. I think it is sad that I live in a society in which a woman can't get a buzz cut for comfort without people having to make comments! Oh well!
got to go for now.
