One Step at a Time - May 2013

Hi all... I am so feeling like the "grim reaper" today. Mama.. I told you a little about what I do but mostly, lately, its working for asset management companies, who in turn, are working for banks readying to foreclose on people. And I'm the one they send out to deliver the bad news... This is breaking my heart... the only good thing I can do for these people is to try to get them out of their homes on a "short sale" as opposed to a foreclosure. And I hope that maybe I can be more compassionate than a lot of the other agents in this business that seem to have left their humanity at the gate, if you know what I mean? I did 15 of these so far this month, and I am very sad and depressed.

Good to see you back Caper. I am sorry for your sadness, but at least you have a heart. No AL tonight, ok?

I have never heard of AB and fruit messing anyone up...???
maybe you are having some klonopin withdrawals?? Just a thought. I have that benzo wothdrawal can cause flu-like symptoms....
kisses to all

Mama, it's happened twice after I've had fresh pineapple and the AB. Or, maybe I'm becoming sensitive to pineapple. As I've said before, I get weird SE's from meds. Really irritates me, too. I haven't noticed anything with the reduction of Klonipin--not a thing.
What lake is your house on, if you don't mind my asking. I don't know that I'd have the energy to take care of two houses. Guess I'm just old. Good thing you held on to the house, though. My husband's aunt had a house in Key West, but she sold it in the 70's. Damn.

Caper, you've got one helluva job. How awful. You are obviously a good person with a good heart. Also, I wondered where you'd been.:l How are you doing on the AL front?

FT, it has been been a bluesy kind of day for me, too. Tomorrow will be better.

Oh Caper - I'm sorry. That has to be so hard. Those people are lucky that they have a caring person working with them. :l

Mama - don't work too hard tomorrow. You need to have a nice weekend off.

FT - You need a nice weekend off too! What's up with all you working people. :H

Juja - I am so sorry that you're having isses with the antabuse. I've never had any problem with food/perfume or anything. Only if I drink. I did have problems when I had been taking it everyday with a heavy chest. I have also had depression get worse on it. I'm going to back off to every other day now because of that.

I went to see my therapist today. Then the 3 of us went on a picnic. Came home and took a nap and now I've been reading. What a great day.

Hope that everyone is having a great weekend. :h

Well...I may have a lazy day.....YAY.....
Poor hubs is frustrated coz his car is giving him problems. He will probably fiddle with that all day and I know to stay away from him.
I cleaned like a banshee yesterday, so today may be lay in the bed and watch movies day
Juja...we are between Palatka and Keystone on a tiny lake you have never heard of. George's Lake
It is spring fed and one of the few lakes in the area that have not dried up. I am one of the weirdos that like hurricanes since my lake gets filled up!!
The boys have been going there since they were babies and their Pop taught them how to fish. Daddy taught them how to ski, and my oldest does the wake board thingy.
off to find more coffee....I may try to talk hubs into some kind of field trip since the weather is so nice, but if he is a grumpy butt I will drop it.
As I type this I realize...it is SO time for glasses.......

You're right, Mama, never heard of the lake. Wonderful that your children have been taught all those activities. Do have a restful day.

This afternoon I'm going to a get-together to hear oral histories about the bank robbing gang my gfather was in at the turn of the 20th century. I thought there would be 5 of us there, but turns out everyone wants to talk about it! So far, there are 20 attending. This will be an eye-opener. One part of me is embarrassed, the other is defensive of my dear Granddaddy, a man who turned out well. Everyone always speaks highly of him, so I shouldn't be too concerned. He was a kid, looking for excitement, and was recruited for his marksmanship. My tummy has some butterflies-- maybe I don't want to have my memories of him ruined.

Better get moving, look for old pictures, and figure out how my voice recorder works.

Still gloomy here, and no rain. Pour, clouds, get it over with!

Love youse.

Juja - that sounds wonderful to hear oral histories. I hope that you enjoy it. That is truly amazing to be able to hear all of those stories.

Mama - hope you have a good day whatever you end up doing!

Glass - how's the back??

FT - are you having a lazy day??

I slept in until 10:00. Well - tried to sleep in. I slept like crap last night. I hate that. Oh well - think a Sunday nap might be in order. :H

Have a great day everyone!

Good night all and see you with the coffee in the am.

Sounds like a wonderful day, FT!! Sleep tight. :l

Ah, the gift of a good night's sleep, so good morning everyone!

Made some new friends, I hope, at the oral history get-together, but didn't hear too many new stories. Was able to push the job of compiling the info off on someone else. Whew. Dodged that bullet, as it's not my thing. New stories may come to light, as interest grows.
Oh, dear granddaddy turned was truly a dear. I knew it!

May your Monday be tolerable.

Love and hugs to all.
