Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

How is everyone doing? I just haven't done a dang thing today. Just a very lazy, unproductive weekend. I don't even feel well rested. But, I have not been getting any exercise either. So, enough belly aching and I am going to get with it. Watch out Pauly, I might break 10,000 steps! :rotlf:

[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION] - how high up the chain was this person that they didn't fire him? We've had employees attend anger management. I don't think it helped them at all to be honest.

Good Early Morning, Friends,

In a rush as I have to drive almost 2 hrs. to get to work this morning. :-(

Nora, this guy is really high up there and under the new management, he has been promoted several times because he brings in a ton of money for the company. Under this new regime, he is surrounded by guys his own age. Under the old management, he reported to the 3-Star Admiral of the Navy, who would not tolerate his outbursts. He was much more humble then but these promotions have given him a really big head. I think the anger mgt. courses only work if you want to change and I know he thinks he doesn't need to change. UGH.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Morning friends,Nora,Lou is very excited but I can tell he'll be a little jealous,we were at Babies R Us buying some things for the baby and Lou found a finding Dory bubble bath,Kell told him the baby can't use that and he said"its for me mom!" So I bought it for him haha,would be hard to be an only child for nearly 5 years then hafta share everybody with someone new,Kell's a grouch thanks for asking haha! She was pissed yesterday cuz now that it's gotten cooler she needs pants but of course can't fit anything cute,she held up some leggings and said this won't fit my waist so I grabbed some 3x and said get these,she said I'm not buying anything that big! I told her she's just gonna throw them away after anyways,aww kids,Liz,the pics on fb were gorgeous,you and your sister look alike but not identical,did you look more alike as kids? Rusty,be safe driving the 2 hours to work,really hoping it's busy at work,we've been slow ever since that shooting happened,not sure if people are still uneasy,depressed,holding on to their money or what,,,wishing us all a happy AF Monday

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Happy Monday! I can say that now cause today is almost over. Sporadically busy day at work. I really do like this job, I love the hours! I sit all day, which is hard for me, I like to move. I have been getting up early and running before work and that seems to work. Getting into this new routine is gonna take some time.
Pauly, Ellen and I did look a lot more alike when we were younger. There are pictures where we can't even tell who is who. I think around high school we started to look more different. I would imagine Louie would be jealous, even if he was younger. Did you find that with your kids too? I remember Erin was jealous of CJ and they were three years apart. That took her quite awhile to get over! He will adjust. Some extra loving from grandma should help!
Rusty, two hour commute, UGH! At least you get to sleep in your own bed tonight!
Does anyone watch the tv show MOM? I've seen it a few time and honestly can't decide if I like it or not. Any thoughts? It's about a mother and daughter in recovery. Just wondering as its coming on now.

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Good Evening Friends,

I have been up since 3:30 AM so I am ready to crawl into bed.

Liz-so glad you can run before work to compensate for sitting so much during the day but I am glad you like your job. I am staying with my mom the next two days as she lives about 1/2 hr. away from my client. YAY! I have my own room at her house. ;-) Yes, I watch Mom quite often because I think Allison Janny's (MOM) sense of humor is hysterical. I've always liked her acting. The only thing I don't like about it is that they make the show's women in recovery seem SOOOO needy and I think that part is a little overdone. For example, last night, the Mom's daughter had to call her sponsor because she didn't know how to act on a first date and that seemed kind of stupid to me. Just my thoughts.

Ok, off to bed for me. Nighty night. ;-)

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Is is our 40th anniversary on Dec 2. We can't take a big vacation but I am looking at vacation houses by the beach. My birthday is on a Thursday and our anniversary is on that Saturday. My niece can say with Mom on Thursday & Friday until evening. My son will come over after he gets off work on Friday and he'll stay here until Sunday.

Rusty - how nice that you can stay with your Mom. Sure saves on commuting.

Pauly - I know that you'll make sure that Louie never feels left out. But, I did get a kick out of the bubble bath.

I wonder if people just don't want to be out anymore since the shooting. Also, all the car rammings. That is just awful. It is scary being out in a crowd now. I want to attend the Women's March in January but it is scary being in a crowd.

Glassie - it was really great seeing you. You are missed.

Liz - I'm glad that you like your new job. Good on you for running before work. I must start doing something and start moving. I just have got to do something besides just talk about it.

Hubby is sick again. He has such a weakened immune system. He has pretty much been living with sinusitis for the past 6 weeks at least. Will be ok for a few days and then back to it. I think he's going to have to go in to the doctor. She gave him antibiotics twice just by talking to him because of his history of these infections. Maybe it's time to actually have her look at him.

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Dill - what kind of weather do you have? Do you have seasons? We are definitely getting cooler here now - in the 50's at night. We all have started wearing sweaters in the morning to work.

Mr V - How are you doing?

Hey to everyone else - Bird, NoSugar, Mr G, Cowboy, and everyone else.

Well - hubby just started 'Stranger Things' so I must run. nthego:

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Aww Nora, your get away sounds lovely! You sure deserve it! It must be nice to be able to go to the beach year around! Forty years, wow, that deserves a huge congratulations!!! Hope hubby feels better soon. Those sinus infections are tough.

Rusty, I think sometimes the show is funny and other times I feel like the sobriety thing is so over the top. But I guess that's the main premise of the show. Hubby started watching it with me now. Just catching up on some of the reruns. Glad you're not driving another two hours home tonight!

Good night :love:

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Morning friends,Nora I'm glad you two have something planned,wow 40 years! Sounds like a lifetime Liz,I watch the reruns of MOM and I think it's a pretty good balance of the humor and heartbreak of addiction,I just don't like that the tall one reminds me a lot of my old drinking buddy,how tall and skinny she is+same hair,just looks like her,I don't like to watch it around hubs cuz I don't want him thinking I think that addiction is funny I dunno it just embarrasses me when he catches me watching it,he absolutely hates when I watch Intervention! Says it's depressing and to turn it off,Rusty,working today? My mom might be coming this weekend,while I love her more than anything on the planet,I'm worried,I might need extra help this weekend,my mom is a drinker and I know she will and no I can't tell her there's no alcohol allowed in the house,my mom is a different breed than what you think of when you hear mom,she's freakin hilarious and lovable but she also gets cranky,plus she's still mourning,I dunno it'll be interesting to see how it pans out,at least the brother she's coming with is not a huge partier,anyhoo,wishes for a happy happy AF Tuesday! Hey when I typed AF I accidentally hit AG,wonder what ever happened to our Actiongirl?

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

Well Pauly I'll be around if you need support. I know how hard it can be. Initially I didn't want hubby watching Mom either. For some reason it just made me uncomfortable.
Watched Logan today, little cutie. Hubby went fishing and bought home 6lbs of striped bass! Guess what he had for dinner? No one else eats fish at my house. He'll have to share some with friends and other family. He had a great time though.
Off to bed, tomorrow is my "early" day, gotta be at work by 8:15 .
Have a great AF night!
