A trip down memory lane

Not much to report these days, not working just going to all kinds of doctors appointments that I can’t wait to get out of the way. I really hate doctors. I am still in shock of the death of Michael Jackson this past week I wasn’t a fan but I did like his music.

Last week Sara came to Connecticut it was so great to see her and hang out with her. I always enjoy spending time with her; it is like we relive our teenage years driving around and doing different things, reminisce about the olden days and people we used to know. It takes me back to a time when things were simpler and we were young. Who says you can’t go home again? As much as things have changed in our little town many things do stay the same. All the houses are the same just different owners. Many of the people we used to know have passed away so in some ways it is kind of sad. But there is a few people left.
I live in Saybrook but will always call Essex my home. When I think of all the things that have changed in my life since living back there 14 years ago. And plus many years since Sara and I would hang out when we were teenagers. We used to walk every night downtown Essex and sit on the stone wall by the bank and watch the summer crowds milling around then when she got her drivers license we would drive around. Those days were so important back then. And will always be fond memories for me. I guess you would say I had a really good childhood

Well another day

Not sure what to say today, it is going to be a busy week for me doctors appointments and going to our nephew’s graduation on Friday we are so proud of him. He has downs syndrome he went to mainstream high school and now he is graduating. He will be going to culinary school in the fall.

This kid is totally amazing he plays the drums, he is athletic, and he models for his dad’s formal shop. He is also a very loving kid, never stingy with the hugs.

I met him when he was just 5 years old and he is now 18 he is very tall and good-looking. His parents and sister spent a lot of time on him when he was younger. Always giving him the opportunity to try new things. I admire them for all the devotion and support they gave him.
He still has his limitations, he will never drive a car, I don’t think, lol and he might not live on his own, but all the wonderful things he can do are so amazing. He makes me very proud.

Another day

Yesterday I read, where an up and coming artist had passed away his name was Jeff Hansen, I listened to one of his songs and I loved it, I put it on my song list on my blog. He truly was a great artist and song writer, to bad he had to leave us so young. RIP Jeff. I wish I knew why god does this kind of stuff. They say it for a reason but it makes no sense to me. I guess it is so others will appreciate and treasure every moment with loved ones. knowing it could be taken away in a second.

Back again

Well I am back again, I guess hiring the new guy in my previous post came back to bite me in the butt. I no longer work for the dog groomer I was let go from my job. I can't say that I am unhappy about this as it was becoming a "drama situation" daily. and really was taking a tole on my body. I would give it a 100% at work and come home and completely fall apart physically. Emotionally it was draining with all the drama that went on there. So I am I glad I am out yes!

Now on to figuring out what to do next. I think I will take the summer off. I have manage to save a bit of money for the short time I was there and will be able to live on that for a while.

I get upset with myself that I get myself into these situations, I should have remembered from pass jobs that I work independantly I am not used to having a boss or supervisor standing over me while I work. The few jobs I have had the bosses were never around.

I truly do not understand what is happening to employers these days. Maybe it is just the people I have been working for, but I feel I am a good employee, loyal, and hardworking. and in the end I end up the one that is out. I don't feel that an employee should have to chase an employer around for a W2 form and a paycheck or put up with excessive drama that is being done by the supervisor or boss. All I can say is if I ever get into a situation where I can work for myself I will never do to an employee what has been done to me when it comes to employment.

I just find you give them 100% of yourself and they take advantage, and those who stand around and do nothing get all the praise. I am just glad that I am closer to retirement age then just starting out in today's job market. it sucks!

Well I guess that is all I have to say about that.

On a lighter note, My dog Casey seems to be feeling better these days. and I am happy for that. My Melissa is expecting a baby which means I am going to be a gramma again. oh boy LOL. How fortunate for me never having any kids to experience having Melissa come into my life and adopting her as my daughter and then having grand kids. Life is good! Oh did I mention she also has twins already.

It is so nice to have good friends I feel fortunate to have the friends that I have. They are really special people. Sara, lissa, Pam, Beth, and Tracy and I can't forget my friend Dan. and of course my husband. He has made my life so much easier since I married him. I will love him forever. Oh lord better sign off here before I get too mushy.

bye for now
