Pfft! I am happy I don't have long too wait to go away - the sooner the better!

Not sure - Seattle is still possible but I realised today I can't get time off from work when my friends want us to visit. So....now to decide on a different place. Currently I am taken with Thailand - lots of sunshine!

Thailand Or Seattle, huh?

I know what you mean.

Like, I can't decide if we're going to go camping at a campground that's ten miles EAST of here, or one that's fifteen miles NORTH.

Have you been to both before? Then again - with kids I would go to the closer one!

Well I was going for a joke there; but chances are, we'll go to the one that's North of us..I;ve been there a few times (dollar Lake it's called) and it's pretty groovy.

See how easy it is?

Now decide RIGHT NOW...Seattle or Thailand.

Thailand.
See - who said woman can't make up their minds quick

How do I feel today?..well.its like this: Martha Stewart was not allowed to get a travel visa to England today. Being a convicted criminal makes her a persona non grata in England. How wonderful. I was just having a summer reverie,,a few moments of looking back and taking stock. This bit of news is a ray of sunshine . What I've noticed is mostly dark.

I've stopped believing things, that for a great amount of my life , I believed was True. I now believe other people besides myself have prevented forest fires. Yet I had absolutely nothing to do with a nuclear reactor melting down or preventing one or two from doing so. Somebody needs a warm and fuzzy mascot.

I no longer believe, " quicker picker upper" is a suitable substitute for the word, " absorb". Quicker Picker Upper is just too cute for its own good. Yet, my bum remains inseperable from the " squezzably soft" Charmin. How do they do that?

I've moved to the fence on every adult person gets to vote,,yet still hold on to the idea that everyone should have sex. Having sex doesn't mean every one should have babies tho. See the first sentence in this paragrapgh for why.

I really wanted to believe the brief good news that DarK Chocolate was actually good for you. After emptying a bag of Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses,,in an hour..i wanted to run naked around the sprinkler in my back yard...is that good for you? I coulda caught a cold.

Police are supposed to Serve and Protect. Well,, why aren't they dishing hash browns and pancakes down in the south Phoenix IHOP?

And this show LOST.. I found it. Heck, they even moved it around,,I still found it.

I don't know ..I wonder what else I can't believe anymore..

freaked and calm and surreal.

Attacked by dogs on my bike today.

So lets see:

crashed.
had change thrown at me
been slapped.
attacked by dogs.
hit by car.

what the hell could I be missing?

And yet I still ride.

Word.

The day is early, yet I feel good. So i'm thankful. The usual kinks and annoyances of my body seem to have taken a vacation this morning. Thank you! Don't hurry back! The coffee is almost perfect. Thank god! And I have a place to say so. Thank Jay!

All sorts of wondrous events are on schedule for today. I'll be thankful if half are achieved. New front door installed, hair cut, some wood working and maybe even a cut of the lawn could happen if time is managed efficiently, thank the clock. So I must get to it. Thanks for listening. I'm just so thankful this morning. I don't know what has come over me.

Hot. Very hot. I think the air conditioning at work broke in last weeks' flooding. And now that we're on our second 80+ day in a row, the office is retaining heat nicely. I'm sitting at my desk, sweating.

I need to find some ice cubes to chew on.....

Sounds incredibly uncomfortable, Mortice. Perhaps until the a/c is fixed, you should bring a cooler of ice in which to keep your feet while at your desk.

I, on the other hand, have become sick over the past 2 days for no apparent reason. But... I still feel well enough to enjoy my return to the Watch after a loooooooong absence.

I feel wonderful. This evening (Saturday) I volunteered for two hours at a sports camp for visually impaired children. I helped teach them judo, and they had a lot of fun. They caught on to what they were supposed to be doing very quickly, and were adorable. One of the other instructors brought his nephew (who looked to be about 6 or 7 years old--younger than most of the kids attending the camp) along to help, and he actually taught everyone a technique that I had never seen before, which was pretty cool. All in all a fantastic experience.

I feel shy. I uploaded by Seafest San Francisco to Face Book:

And I've been working for days, so I'm out of the loop as ever.

Ashley and the kids are going to be gone to Tennessee for 3 days............I hate being alone:(

I'm really trying but FB kinda suxX0rz.

my feet hurt. Probably in anticipation of all the running around I must do today. And to make it worse, I was awakened by the groaning whirlybirds on the roof early this morning telling me the rising sun would cast itself in a deep orange as veiled by a wall of tan dirt created by the nights winds. 112 degrees, windy and dirt in every breath. Strange I wish for the monsoon rains this early in summer.

I had to laugh. I just let Mani, my dog out. I think he's getting to the age where he's getting territorial. He's in the back yard and starts barking at a dog going by. For a little dog he's got a deep hoarse bark.

I am having a bit of a panic attack at the thought of returning to work tomorrow, but I am trying not to let it ruin the rest of my day.

I don't feel as though I have been very productive this weekend, though I went through hundreds if not thousands of job search ads. Doesn't help that my old boss, who promised to provide a good reference for me, is not returning my calls...

Hope you find something soon, Sorus.

Thanks!

I feel a bit better now that I have committed myself to taking action, and have taken a few steps though I have not really accomplished anything yet.

It's kind of sick, but in a way I am glad that it came to this. I did not intend to spend eight years in my last job, but if you're secure and somewhat comfortable it is surprisingly difficult to leave.

If you're working for someone who berates you constantly and takes all their personal problems out on you and tears apart everything you do to the point where it is literally impossible to please them or do anything 'right', it's probably time to move on.
