I have had a small thing niggling at me for years. It ceased to be important when I graduated from college all those years ago but it was still something that has annoyed me, for lack of a better word.
Well I finally did something about it.
You heard about my job, the co op placement, that finished yesterday. What you didn't know is that it was to finally get the half a credit I needed to graduate from high school.
It was awarded to me this morning.
I can finally put that nagging voice to bed!
Yay!!

Is green, but no one should never wear it as a feeling.

I had a 10 am Drs appointment and not having my act totally together decided to take a cab there. Appt went fine, he told me I have borderline high blood pressure then prosceeded to lecture me like a good Dr should. With the preface this is my job I have to say this and a smirk on his face the whole time cause he knew I wasn't going to listen. Amongst other things he said well you know when you hit 50 and I know you aren't there yet but you will be soon...
I left with 2 prescriptions and a feeling of dread
So the plan was to get the bus downtown and from there head north. Plans are made to be broken in my world.
Along comes a bus exactly one smoke from when I left the buidling, no it wasn't going downtown but it was headed to Walmart. Great I can transfer from there and be at work in less than half an hr.
I got off the bus at Walmart and stationed myself in position to get the correct bus and this is when my mind decided to wander. Good thoughts, just not paying much attn to what was going on around me. So when the next bus came I thought hey! bonus I can get this one and be at work a few mins earlier than I had planned.
Not so, not by a long shot.
The bus I got on was headed in the wrong direction so basically I passed my house and then had to transfer again to get to work half an hr later than I would have if I had been paying attn.
No big deal really, I just took the scenic route.
I can't wait to be done work now. All of the "juicy" creative jobs have long since been completed and now I am doing the drudge work that happens in any office. I hate that drudge work with a passion but if I was being paid for it, it would be tolerable. For now tomorrow is something to endure, an hr or so at school Thurs. morning and that is the end of that.
I am going to miss having a purpose and have a volunteer position I am really interested in that I will persue to keep me busy while I am job hunting.
The job market here is worse than horrible but I need to keep the momentum going so with any luck I will be volunteering at the seniors centre in their computer lab.
It only takes one bus to get there so I should be safe,

It always happens this time of year. Enough of the dead of winter. Now is the time to look forward, begin planning for the seasons ahead.
I have done nothing just for me in longer than I can remember and right now I am thinking it is time.
I want to spend my birthday in Montreal. It is a city I loved when I was there and the travel bug has bitten even tho I have very, very limited resources.
I decided to look at how much it would cost to get the 3 of us there. That was well out of my range but when I mentioned it to my daughter she said
"You go, I don't want to go to Montreal"
She is 16 now and more than capable of taking care of her brother. I feel like I have been given wings! All the years I spent with them and now they are giving me some freedom.
But and this is a big but.
I don't want to go alone. I COULD do it but I would much rather have a friend to share it with. It would be nothing more than an overnight trip, see some sights and eat some of the amazing Montreal smoked meat and then hop on the train home.
My plans will probably change a million times between now and then but the idea of having a goal has given me hope that I will make it thru the rest of this never ending winter.
Plotting and planning,

I am not sure that is better or worse than a mother fucking cunt, but that is the label of the day.
You know, if you chose to behave like the good little children I know you can be, there would be no need to warn you, which I suspect you never did see in your self righteous indignation.
Calling someone a fat fuck really isn't the kind of behaviour we like in this sand box and calling me a fucking Canadian, well I don't really understand how that can be an insult?
Yes, I am Canadian and well I must have fucked at least twice cause I don't know how else to explain my children.
The kind of behaviour I have seen of late is appalling to say the least, especially on a so called adult site.
If you are going to be insulting please come up with something a little more original than mother fucking cunt, fat fuck and fucking Canadian.
I am hoping that your level of intelligence allows you a little more creativity and a better grasp of the English language than I have been witness to recently.
I will NOT tolerate abuse of other members. I do NOT care what your self justification is. Feel free to react like a 4 year old and tell me how much you hate me. That doesn't bother me at all but when you pick on someone who can't defend themselves then you will be dealing with me and I can assure you that you will not like the outcome.
If I sound like your 1st grade teacher there is a damn good reason, YOU are acting like 6 year olds.
Long ago it was established that the sun was the centre of the solar system.
You ain't it.
Sighing heavily,

There were 2 totally crazy aussie bitches, who happened to be best friends.
I love them both from afar.
But they need their heads knocked together for trying to shield each other.
/status grabbing a fist full of hair in each hand and cracking heads together.
Share FFS!
Love you both,

Valentine (noun)

Pronunciation: ['væ-lên-'tIn]

Definition: A gift or card sent to someone beloved on St. Valentine's Day, February 14, or the person to whom the card is sent.

Usage: The verb, "to valentine," meaning to serenade a prospective mate (said of birds) has fallen into disuse, as has, alas, the blend Valentide = "St. Valentine's Day" from "Valentine + tide." So we are left to send valentines to our valentines on St. Valentine's Day.

Suggested Usage: Although this word is used as a common noun, because it is so closely associated with St. Valentine's Day, the range of its possible uses is limited. Its association with the courtship of birds suggests we might revive the verb in figurative expressions like this one: "Fenwick has been valentining Maudy rather seriously of late."

Etymology: February 14 was a Roman feast day that mysteriously became associated with two saints named Valentine in the 3rd century. One was a Roman priest and physician killed during the persecution of Christians by Claudius II. The other St. Valentine was a bishop of Terni, also martyred in Rome but his relics were remanded to Terni. (It is possible the two saints were the same person.) The association with love derives from the fact that February 14 was traditionally taken as the beginning of the mating season of birds. As Chaucer noted in "Parliament of Foules" (1381): "For this was on seynt Volantynys day Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make." (For this was on Saint Valentine's day when every bird comes there to choose his mate.)

Happy Valentines love birds,

I want to be just like B.
Today the elevators failed. It was just before lunch time but with all the staff pitching in the meal got delivered to the residents (my legs are killing me but that is another story)
There happened to be 5 women getting their hair done when the failure occured so they had to stay on the lower floor. They were to join us for lunch.
B caught my attention right away. She was told that the elevators were broken and her response was
"I don't give a damn about elevators"
That was my first chuckle. She was then told that she would be having lunch downstairs. Her response was.
"I dont give a damn about lunch"
By now I was just thrilled with this woman. She was escorted in and seated. When her lunch arrived she refused to eat it because
"I am going to be charged for this"
She would have absolutely nothing to do with it untill she was told it was a free Valentines lunch.
B tucked right in and enjoyed.
This woman has earned the right to be ornery.
I want to be just like her and some would argue that I already am.
Loving the gramma bitch,
ju
