A Whole Bunch of Stuff in One Blog

It’s been awhile since I’ve written.  A few people that know me well know that when I’m quiet, that’s a very bad thing.

Good stuff first - I am steady at 191 ish.  I got my 60-pounds-lost bear Saturday.  He’s very cute!

ThirdLove finally started making bras for big boobies.  So I ordered 2.  They are worth every penny! I’m buying 2 more on payday.

Today I wore a pair of jeans to work and while doing my weekly fruit and veggie shopping at WalMart, I got tired of pulling them up so I grabbed a pair of size 18 petites and went to the fitting room.  Was surprised to find they were pretty loose.  Then looked at the tag of what I was wearing because I thought they were 20s.  Nope, 18s.  So I decided to go name brand and grabbed a pair of Lee 16s.  They fit wonderfully!  Bought a pair of Levi’s 16s as well.

Got my new glasses today.  I’m still trying to get used to them.  :-)

Now the not good stuff - 
Some time ago my bathtub cracked.  Right at the curve.  Because this tub was a shell and wasn’t put over an existing tub and wasn’t given any kind of support at the curves, it just took me stepping slightly the wrong way and it cracked.

So out came the tub and the ‘walls’.  Plans were made, preparation was made for tile by a friend that worked his butt off, and then the tile guy backs out.  This does turn into good news.  Through a wonderful friend, I get a seasoned bathroom remodeler.  He should be done with his other 2 projects in about 2 weeks, then he’ll come work on my bathroom.  I will seriously be so happy when this shower is done!

Meanwhile work has been sucky.  My manager - as wonderful as she is - is too controlling.  She wants documentation to be exactly the way she wants it.  This is causing quite a bottle-neck for our Documentation Specialist.  And it’s frustrating me because I proof the stuff, then it goes to our manager who then changes things, then it goes back to DS, then back to me.  It’s like a horrible game of 3 person tennis.  And our manager still has 19 documents she’s supposed to be looking at.  But instead keeps getting sidetracked with other things she things need tweaking.

And I swear she enjoys debating/arguing.  I don’t.  I’ll give you my opinion, you give me yours, or vice versa and that’s it.  I’m not going to go back and forth endlessly with you because I have better things to do with my life.  If you don’t trust me enough to make a decision, then I’ll just let you figure out on your own that hmmm maybe my 8 1/2 years of doing this, I might be more educated on this area than someone who’s been around for a year.

I put in for the week before Memorial Day as vacation.  She hasn’t approved it yet.  I’m waiting for her to come back with a counter-offer.  If that happens, she’ll get reminded that’s the worst week of the year for me and, conveniently, the slowest or 2nd slowest week of the year for University.  Hopefully, she’ll just approve it and I won’t have to explain to her why she’s being a callous poop head.

The worst thing that’s happened since I journaled last - one of my fur-nephews passed away.  He was a very cool dog.  It’s been very hard on my brother and bonus sis.  And all I can do is say I’m sorry you had to go through this first.

And now I’m tired, and bummed.  :-(

Cesar at 14 is doing well.  He's got a definite limp/swagger when he walks.  That has to do with the herniated disk in his back - I thin...
