Randomness of Thought

Well I guess I will start with Happy Birthday Dear Sis, as usual I am late with the Birthday greeting. I worked last Thurs -Mon so on Tues of this Week all I managed to do was sleep. I hope it was a happy one. You are so good about remembering mine and even sending little presents to me. I am not so good about that, but I still love you just the same. I have been having a little confusion about what day it is lately. I have such a crazy work schedule that I get confused. Recently Karen complained about headaches and such happening on Thurs or Sundays. Those days are usually the worst ones for me also. At work Thurs seem to be more confusing then most and on Thursdays I myself seem to be on my low energy point of my work week, except for when I have a seven day work week ending in Sun, then Sunday takes the prize! Well last week my work week STARTED on Thurs ( after having Wed. off to make up for working the Saturday before). So I didn't know if it was Mon or Th. On Sun it was both Thurs and Sun. and on Mon it was like a Mon and a Friday! I have had 3 days off this weekend in a row even, except for the 31/2 hours I worked last night between 6:00 and 9:30 to make the refreshments for the DT invitational dance last night. I really think they were odd refreshments for a big whoppty do semi-formal dance. I mean little smokies in BBQ sauce, Egg rolls, Hot chicken fingers and churros. What happened to cookies and punch? Talk about bad breath and stained dresses. Oh also hot fudge dipping sauce for strawberries and other yummies. Chocolate and BBQ. excellent finger food to go with fancy dresses! Of course the way kids dress nowadays maybe semi formal means new jeans instead of old raggy ones. This next 4 week schedule is even crazier than last months schedule. I have 5 days this next week to work, Sat off then I work in three day increments with a day off in between except for one work week of four days on and one week with 2 on and 2 off an then I don't remember how many on. Right now Raymond is in the process of folding the clothes. Note the in the process part, most of the time all of the clothes sit in the dry clothes baskets until we need to wear them or until we don't have any more baskets left to put the dirty ones in. Anyway he has been waylaid by the cat deciding she wants to nap in my underwear drawer, and the dogs need to go potty and he needs to go potty etc, so it may be another week before the clothes get put away although maybe not because we don't have anymore empty baskets left. The other night I went into the bathroom, and after turning on the light I was quite taken aback because the sink looked strangely odd. it contained a sleeping curled up cat. I guess she was thirsty, because she only drinks from the facet when the water is running and no where else. I turned on the facet and she eventually got out and got a drink. She doesn't mind getting wet at all which is also an odd thing. We all got a good laugh on Thurs of this week. Our manager came out with a pan of cream cheese and cranberry sandwich filling that had been partially used to make sandwiches for all of the BYU vending machines and for sale in various eating establishments around campus. A man named ALAn has a crew that makes the sandwiches in the mornings. She had the chef take a taste and he took a big spoonful and very quickly spit it out. The recipe is cream cheese, sugar and craisins. It had SALT instead of sugar in it. no wonder the people getting them had complained about them. That is why the person making the product should ALWAYS taste it before serving it. Well I guess I had better get going on some of the chores that i need to do or another day will be gone and I will be unhappy with myself fo not doing more than I did.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

I'm having time issues. Yesterday I was supposed to be at work at 11:00 p.m. For some reason I thought it was at 11:30 I was supposed to be there. I got up at 8:00 and made myself my usual toast and Dr.Pepper and a cocktail of pills. Anti depressant. antibiotic and anti acid. I sat down read the paper setting the timer (I use the oven timer for an alarm clock because it doesn't stop ringing until I get up and go into kitchen and turn it off) for 1 hour in case I drifted off to sleep! I did fall asleep, meanwhile DH got up and went to the bathroom to get himself ready for the long day of resting. I woke up at 11:15 and DH was still in bathroom doing what ever he does that takes 2 hours in the morning. I knew I was in trouble, there was no way I was going to get to work by 11:30. He finally emerged and I got ready. By 11:45 I was dressed except for my blouse. Ring ring.It was work calling to see what happened. I was supposed to be there at 11:00 not 11:30 OOPS! by the time I got there it was noon. Yesterday was the first day of the pay period so I am already 1 hour short. Now they are springing daylight @^$&*(()&^% savings time on us three weeks earlier than usual. Just what I need. I already decided last night that there was no way I was going to church today, seeing as I had to be back to work tomorrow . I am just to exhausted after 6 days of work and only one day off until the next work week. I have Wed. off and then my next day off is a week from Tues. I will have to goo shopping tomorrow after work because c'est moi forgot to check the dog food bin and it is almost empty and won't last until Wed. I read an interesting op ed the other day in the paper re: Daylight savings time. The writer was right up my ally with her opinion. She stated the obvious that no time was saved. all it did was cause inconveniences to those of us who are of the "I don't get up in the morning before the sun does" persuasion. We are just able to get up when the sun is also up and now we have to get up in the dark again, and children have to again go to school in the dark ( of course wearing dark clothes because no one would think of wearing anything but black navy or gray to school) and risk getting hit by cars because it is now dark outside and besides why would a child actually walk in a crosswalk or a car actually stop at one for that matter? So now parents have to drive their kids to school again, before they themselves go to work. All this so that when people get of work they can go play golf or something . It is a royal pain in the neck. She suggested a new nomenclature to use for the times. Since DST is now on 8 months of the year and "standard" time is now on only 4 months of the year maybe it should be standard time between March and October and daylight wasting time between Nov and Feb.That makes just as much sense as daylight saving time doesn't it? So what time is it really?

SURPRISE, it is me

Well, I guess I will try to write a little something. I am a slacker I admit when it comes to journal writing. I do it very inconsistantly, always have. I really enjoy the other peoples blogs however. I am terrible at typing . I barely passed my high school class. I haven't improved on the computer keyboard at all as far as speed goes. plus now I have an infinite amount of ways of screwing up and pushing a wrong key that sends my entry into cyber " lost in space" never to appear again, at least not on my computer. Then I have to laboriously retype what I just wrote. This week has been the week of the Rx refills. Last Sat as I was getting ready to go grocery shopping I noticed on my list in tiny little letters a Prescription that DH needed filled. Mister silent but if I write it in tiny little illegible chicken scratches and remain mum it will magically be filled before it runs out. NOT. First he didn't call the doctor until After 5pm on Friday, I called the pharmacy, and asked if they had received it. Of course they hadn't. So he had to wait until at least Mon to get it. I called the store on Mon and of course they didn't have it in. I called the doctors office also and the Dr hadn't even looked at his messages yet. This ment that DH would have to wait until at least Tues after 9;00 p.m. to get it because I work until 8:00 or 9:00 I called store on Tues Morning. and they had it in. After said phone call and about 5 min. before leaving for DH informed me the he had called in 2 of his Rxs that morning (Mon). They were also out starting Tues. They were at a different store than the other one. I asked he what ones he needed the most because there was no way I was going to two different stores after 9 at night. Tues I picked the 2 that he had ordered Mon morning on Tues evening. On Wed after 9:00 I picked up at the other store the original I called after 5:00 on Fri pills. I got him all filled up with his pills finally. NOT. On Thurs morning as I was leaving for work DH informed me that he only had 2 pain pills
left. Well that did it. He now has no pain pills (Tylenol) left because I didn't go get any. I asked him why he didn't tell me sooner. "I didn't notice until now." Well he can wait until tomorrow after work which is after 7:00.Arrgh! Yesterday we had this huge dinner which took hours of preparation. It was the finale of our week emphasizing "healthy" food choices .It included fancy Asian foods such as sushi, hot and sour soup, cobia, a fish that I had never heard of on potato pancakes and topped with vegetable slaw, Tri tip steak with veggie salsa. and the piece d'resistance RAW tuna. The desserts were whimpy angel food cakes or merangues toped with fruit. (I hate fruit fillings or fruit topped cakes or cookies). Fill them with frosting or custard. If you must have fruit desserts. Make them cobblers or pies. Lots and lots of chopping etc. I really like veggies and stir fries so that was good. I like some Asian soups also. This soup had no "and sour" It was just plain hot & hotter. The steak was good. The sushi ICK. The Raw Tuna NO WAY JOSE. will I ever eat raw fish. I don't particularily like cooked fish. I like canned tuna, fried or boiled shrimp, crab and lobster, Cod nuggets and citrus salmon (which we make on our menu). That is it. After the meal was over and we were cleaned up and ready to leave, the FIRE alarm went off. We had to leave the building immediately. So there we are waiting for the firemen to come check things out , a doz or so tired souls waiting outside their place of work for clearance so they could hurry up and get their work finished and go home. Some of us were sitting on the edge of the receiving dock waiting for clearance to enter the building so they could get their things and leave. If there had been a real fire we could have burned up because the dock is the building. After about 15 min all was cleared and we were allowed to go back in. I got 15 more min. on the clock than I would have otherwise. I got home about 9:45p.m.I can relate to being a dabbler in the crafts. I often "get the urge" to try something new like knit a sweater or something. I often start something, but don't finish it, at least while it is still "in style" sigh It has taken me 2 hours to write this blog. I really will try harder to update this more often Hip Hip Hooray to Lil bro and the new baby coming.
