Rain and cold...ick

I woke up this morning and that early fall chill was definetly in the air. I ang m already having visions of snow, salt and shovels. The Farmers Almanac said this winter is going to be brutal. I barely made it through last winter. I know, I am slightly compulsive thinking about snowstorms before Halloween, but it is what it is. I see so many hardened faces and I wonder what goes through their mind. Are they happy with the hand that life has dealt them? Who knows? I sometimes feel like we are little ants trying to etch out an existence for ourselves, no matter how meager. Right now my coffee cup is getting rather low and that is unacceptable, so ta ta for now folks. Be thankful for what you have.

Sunday Morning

Time for my weekly late Sunday breakfast out. I have a friend who comes over every weekend. We go out on Saturday night for dinner, and than Sunday morning for breakfast. I find myself treasuring these weekend moments. It gives me a sense of purpose and pleasure to enjoy being with someone again. Never thought I would see the day that I would enjoy human companionship. Time to go eat.

Smile with your eyes dammit

I was drinking my early coffee and they have a ANTM marathon. Does anyone really need to learn how to walk and prance and pose in real life? Sorry, I understand the entertainment value of the show. It just doesn't apply to my real life. I smile with my eyes when I am waiting on tables, period. I watch these girls sob and cry when the get eliminated. Way to go to boost someone's self esteem. Yes, I am getting jaded in my old age, and I am quite ok with it. Here is a toast to being content and over 40!

Finally!!!!

I am back. Have had a hell of a time with the internet. My friend and I went out to Best Buy Sunday and he bought me a brand new Gateway laptop. I love it!!! Things are slowly coming together. I have been going nuts without the internet. I love to write as well as read. I will be going back to work this week and getting back into the groove of life. I am going nuts in the house. Dog shopping is on the agenda as well. I wanted to hold off until I was totally well before I got a puppy. I am slowly gaining weight and healing. Life has thrown some crazy turns but I am still here and still perservering. Now, time to catch up on my favorite blogs. Peace!

Got a blue moon in my eye.....

I hate to say this but why must I press 1 for English? It irritates the shit out of me. It is not a predjudiced issue. I feel you should press one for Spanish, that's all. Am I wrong?

Blessings abound

It's quite an amazing thing when you rid yourself of all the leeches in your life. Good things happen. Today is grocery shopping day. It's so much fun to shop when you are told to gain weight. I have to gain about 15 pounds. The sallow, sunk in look doesn't suit me. My breathing is back to normal finally. My mind is in a good place and I am feeling normal, well whatever normal is. I have a new secret addiction. The Housewives of New Jersey. Yeah, laugh. These woman tickle me. I know, I know it's trash tv. but it takes my mind of my own damn problems. It just goes to show that no matter how much money you have, you put a group of women together and they cannot get along. Peace.

Good morning world

Had a great morning. My friend Joe and I just came back from breakfast. I had a big fattening waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. Joe and I have been friends for a few months and he has treated me better than anyone in my insane family. I am trying to gain about 15 pounds, still recovering from the damn pneumonia. I have a new appreciation for life. I want to be alive. I did learn one thing. I am a mouth breather. According to the doctor, you are supposed to breathe in with your nose and exhale through your mouth. I have been doing it backwards my whole life. One of my breathing exercises consists of "Smell the roses through your nose and than exhale the scent through my mouth". I didn't know there were rules for breathing. Are you a mouth breather?
