wEdNeSdAy 22 harvest moon

wow, it's been a while since i posted last. idk how that happened, i know i've not been that busy. i guess it's just all the self-inflicted stress i tend to put on myself. i do wish i could stop. and then there are the non-self inflicted stressful events that seem to add to my worry list. you know who you are, so stop being idiots and grow up. 
Tonight marks the return of fall, and as autumn returns it comes with a full moon, a harvest moon. if you can, go out tonight and look to the heavens. this harvest moon on the first day of fall, doesn't happen that often, and as a plus, Jupiter will also be there sparkling brightly. so this fall is arriving quite celestially. On sad note, my daughter's bff lost her precious pup today. she is now a guardian pup angel and will be greatly missed.

been a while...

time to get busy again. it's been a while since i've been on here. today i skipped work (we are really slow right now so it's okay) to go to this substitute meeting because i needed to get back on the sub list. i missed the summer meeting and voila i was dropped. anyway, frst we had to stand in a very long line, then the meeting was sooooo long and unorganized, and they didn't give us lunch, but a few of the speakers were interesting. i just don't know why they bother to teach us anything at these meetings. everyone is in a hurry to get the heck out of there. just give us the paper work and those of us smart enough to fill them out on our own, get to be on the sub list, those who have no clue, well so you really want them in a classroom? anyway, i did it and hopefully i'll pass inspection and then be allowed to pay $50 bucks to get my fingers printed. i probably should have gone to the office, but who knows maybe this too will pay off. oh and then we heard that NASA is going to let 4500 contractors go soon, so there goes the already saturated job market and the real estate market. yikes!! and if all those families move away, the schools will start to empty. not a good thing. 

migraining today

i detest migraine headaches (as if anyone would like them) and every once in a while i seem to get the mother of all migraines. i believe mine was caused by staying out at the UH game until 1:00am, so i retreated to living in a cave, no lights, no reading, plenty of headache cures and plenty of rest. i waste the day and sometimes more than one day, fighting to get rid of this pain. my neck hurts, my eyes throb, my shoulders feel as if they are up around my ears, the gnawing headache and then there's the nausea. tonight my good friend Sherry from the famous Tokyo Bowl, gave me her go to cure, through my mom, i could not fathom going out with this headache. it is an eight hour cooling gel pad that you leave on your forehead. as i am posting this i am experimenting with the gel pad. it feels very cool and  soothing, but the

 headache is still smoldering under it. i'm praying that it will do some magic during the night and that i will wake up tomorrow headache free. i will keep you posted!!        

Advantage

why do some people let others take advantage of them? and not just once in a while....it seems like a daily advantage taking thing. do the ones being taken, know that they are and just accept it? and do the ones abusing the poor unknowing, know that they are walking all over those folks? if they do know, how do they live with themselves? i just don't understand this abusive relationship. and, if i'm not the one in the advantage taking mix, why the heck does it bother me so much?? i truly need to learn to stay far away from this game. it literally drives be nuts....and i can't say anything to either side because they only get upset with me...so i will attempt to mind my own business,

but my neck hurts from shaking my head in disgust...i feel like a bobble head doll!!!

Labor Day

i am the person who loves to be prepared..for just about everything. i like having a plan, or a list, to know where i am going, how to get there or to have reservations. and the the earlier i have the plans, the better. i like to have an order to my life, but i'm okay if things aren't always going the way i prepared. change doesn't scare me. i go with the flow. it just seems less stressful to be prepared. but what drives me insane are those people who wait until the very last minute to

do everything and anything. to change lanes while driving, to buy presents, to schedule classes, to get ready to go somewhere, to planning or going on a trip...i just can't figure out how they manage to get anywhere or accomplish anything. and why is it that they are amazed that they miss opportunities.what would it hurt if they would just put a wee bit of an effort into doing something a few days head of time, or even a few hours a head? and what really kills me, it that when they are running around crazily at the last minute, they always look at the plan a head person to help them out. it's so exhausting!!

friday/more reunions

tomorrow is the first of a few reunions i have decided to attend. it's for the UH Buggy Beauties, and yes it's kind of a silly name, especially the buggy part. but it's like a cheer squad. anyhow, it's the 40th anniversary year from when this all started, and no i was not one of the charter members...i'm not that old...yet...they have invited all former Buggy Beauties and Buggy Drivers and after a reunion of sorts in the Stadium Pavillion they will be recognizing all of us during the pre-game activities. i'm pretty psyched to see the other girls(women now) from my squad. i'm sure we all have changed a lot since college.. i hope it's fun and that someone takes pictures!!....next reunion's in october---smu tarbs....i have a lot of universities! last time we all met, my kids were in elementary school...i'll keep you posted!!

!!Happy Thursday!!

I

i received a phone call today from my son after his very first day as an intern for the city of Austin. he was very excited. he has his own desk and a very important job to do for the solid waste department of the city of Austin. if you don't know, Austin is a very green city and they have curbside recycling for everyone. and not just those small recycling containers, a huge recycling can, larger than the regular garbage cans, because ATX recycles just about everything. anyway, his first day was a success. he got to tour the glass crusher/melter area. he said it was very cool. i am so happy for him!! and to prove the world is very small, two of his bosses are from the clear lake area or are married to someone who lived in our neighborhood!!so i guess if his recording career doesn't pan out, he will be able to work in recycling!!

yadsendeWednesday

had a nice conversation today with someone i admire, a lot. he probably has no idea, but i truly appreciate how he has grasped a certain aspect of his life and hit it head on. he has dealt with it with his wise and old for his years, soul, and has been able to maintain his big heart. it is almost impossible to constantly turn the other cheek, always take the high road, especially when someone is there trying to tear you down. how much can you take? and how do you not let that affect you? affect the very core of your being? this very wise person has accepted all of this as lessons learned. i was always afraid that history was going to repeat itself, but i now know that will not happen. he will be better than good, he will be great. and this is because he knows how much it hurts when someone you love treats you so bad that you do not want to be part of their life. he  walks away, head held high, knowing he is the better man.
