HI,

What's happening?
Does anyone here do anything for St. Patrick's Day on Wed?

I've got paper work to take care of before Monday.
. . . also a hair appt on Saturday.


I think I am going to start doing my yoga DVDs. I had kind of taken a "break" from yoga. I did some earlier tonight and enjoyed it even though I was out of practice.

Hi Mari,

Yoga sounds like something I'd like to do.

I'm not sure what I'll be doing this weekend. Cocky and I will likely do something. I'm waiting to call him this morning as he gets up early but still I don't want to call him this early.

REMEMBER, TIME CHANGE TONIGHT! HOUR AHEAD.

St Patty's Day we will cook corned beef brisket at home and make a cake with green icing.

I am still awake, listening to the rain and wind. Watching the reports on the rising river down town. The heavy snow is melting from the 50* we had the last few days, now several inches of rain here and in NY are swelling the river.
The wind has been howling all day, huge gust. The house is creaking. How are they sleeping through this?

I have a second pt time job, working for an agency doing skip tracing, locating people and property, wellness checks to make sure they are getting meds, checks, any needs or changes. I am making good money, I work about 2 assignments a week.

The estate issues have not resloved. The ex still is adamant for 1/2 of De's estate. She had nothing, but I had a settlement he sued for.So we are going to mediation. I have to meet with the attorney on Tuesday.
But, I am not sleeping, just passing out, from the physical drain and anxiety.
Sleep brings dreams where I am screaming out loud.

Spring is around the corner,

you are an amazing woman di,
I did not realize that you had that much snow in such a short amount of time. 50 inches....OMG can't imagine that and now the thawing and possible flooding. no wonder you can't sleep.

Hi Bizi and Bobby,
That is 50 degrees Beth, the snow on the ground was about a foot the beginning of the week. Almost gone now. The rain is just pouring today. The winds finally stopped roaring, but the rain is flying sideways from it,
We had a total of 70 inches of snow this winter. Glad Spring is here next week, Not that we still can't get snow. Three years ago we had over a foot on Valentine's day, another on St. Patricks Day, then again a foot the week after Easter in April......

DH plant never called him back and when he reopened his unemployment the checks dropped to $300 a week, his security pay is not much. So I had to do something. I do enjoy the work. It kills me sitting though. I am out tomorrow looking for a truck from FL that a Mom wants repo'd she cosigned on. So sit and watch for 8 hrs.
Fun playing Nancy Drew though.

It is nice when dh is not working as he can drive and be company. I get so little broken sleep,
Wed. I am do a wellness check on a man in a wheel chair. He said his supplies are over due. So I am making sure he got them this week, verify his address and that it is really him, see if he has any needs. It is a rual gated community, his address is a lot no. so I think that was an issue.
Instead of the post office maybe a FED EX delivery will help.

Even working 2 days a week is a huge help. The first employer has not had local work since October. If he has anything local I will take it.

The attorney for ex, WAS a member of various local organizations I am a member, like our chamber of commerace, it makes me think he can actually have orchestrated this move of the ex when he knew my strugles and what a dead beat dad he was. THe most upsetting, was his covering up my childrens inheritance to the grandfathers estate, but one battle at a time.

I just live in this recliner, dd 14 is cyber school, but so many portfolio projects due right now has us both stressed. When I do sleep I have terrible nightmares. The family has to wake me from screaming.

Katie had one a few nights ago the man from the haunted house was chasing her with an ax.

BUT, I am praying for justice to prevail and know that it is just not always the case for us....

OPPPS, there goes a tree down next door, wires are down. I still have electric though......
Keep me in your thoughts,

It has been raining and the house is leaking. So the hall way is leaking water. And the Land lord did not really fix anything. And it is still leaking bad And now the water is leaking into the room. My husband and I are looking for new place to live. I am getting a job Monday. My husband wants me to take time to adjust to NY but I believe I am ready.
Yesterday I got tricked by a man at the Landry mat who smeared ketchup on the back of my sweater ( I did not know he did it). And then he said he help me clean it. So he did help a little. But then when I looked in my pocket after he left, I noticed my roll of quarters for the landry were gone. Why did I fall for that trick. sigh... lesson learned welcome to NYC. LOL From now on I carry my money in my bra. And I make sure I am aware of my surroundings. I am so glad I left my wallet and cell phone home.

Dear Di,
I hope that the weather has calmed down by now and that you and your family are safe.

The nightmares sound frightening. I'm sorry that you have to go through that stress. I hope that justice prevails and that you can rest easily.

Sharla I hope that you are safe today and that the landlord does something to help, That is not right to pay rent and have something serious. If the ceiling caved in you could be injured besides the damage to your belongings.

The weather has calmed down, I forgot about setting the kitchen clock and need to hustle out the door by 7 am for that work assignment. Dh is staying with dd, so I am flying, well driving on my own. How I hate that. I just have to do what I have to do...

Will check in when I get back, by then I will need a huge nap. I have been up since 11 pm. I did sleep right when the good shows were coming on at 8pm. I wanted to watch the one about Clark Rockafeller wanna be....

Enjoy your Sunday all.
