It was a long day yesterday, but I am not really sure that I ever mentioned that the job I am working at is Temp to Perm.  Meaning, if I work out, the firm will eventually hire me, otherwise if they don’t, my contract expires in 90 days and everyone goes their separate ways and that’s that. First of all, I am so happy at...

Faith, Joy and Hope

Faith, Joy and Hope
It was another busy day at work – that makes me very happy!  Nothing worse than keep looking at the clock to see how long you have until it’s quitting time.  Usually I’ll just glance up and realize – wow, it’s already 11:45!  My breakfast turned out kinda gross – whatever flour tortillas I had literally fell to pieces right when I cut it, and...

Thank you!!

Thank you!!
Thank you to everyone who sent me a comment on my last post, or sent me a text or instant message on Facebook.  I felt all the virtual hugs on the second Anniversary of Tony’s passing, and it’s because of all of you that I was able to get through the day.  That, and I was actually super busy at work on Friday.  My boss...

Two Years. . .Seasons of Love

Two Years. . .Seasons of Love
I’ve obviously thought about this post for a while, but decided to write it off the cuff.  I vividly remember the night before Tony died.  For some reason I didn’t want anyone with me.  I told my Mom, my brother and his family, my parents in law, Hannah and Jacob to all go home – get some rest.  The hospice nurse had told me that...

Smoque BBQ

Smoque BBQ
I am somehow managing to put stuff together to eat with what we have on hand.  Once I get past Wednesday without having to make a trip to the grocery store for a full grocery shop, it becomes a game to see how long I can actually go.  I just worry about myself, not the kadults.  They can fend for themselves if they don’t want...

99 Luftballons

Sorry for the late post.  For the second time in as many weeks, someone committed suicide on my train line.  Last night the train stopped indefinitely 20 miles from my stop.  Luckily Hannah was just finishing up work and drove the 40 mile round trip to picked me up.  It was right around the time Jacob got off of school so we did an impromptu...

The Last Post

The last post that I wrote before Tony passed away was a mere seven days before he died.  I ended that post with this: “I just wish Tony was home where he belongs, yelling at me from the living room “what smells like ass?!” when I cook spicy food in the kitchen while he’s watching Sunday football.  I want my life back.  I know it...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Yep, more computer problems at my house, although we think it may have to do with the surge protector that I have.  It’s old, and it was making funny noises, so I plan on getting that replaced this weekend.  I was also a grocery shopping/cooking fool last night, so really I didn’t have time to blog even if I had wanted to. I am doing...

National Diabetes Awareness Month

National Diabetes Awareness Month
Yesterday was just a weird day.  I stepped outside to head to the train and had a winter coat on.  While it gets warm during the day, when I leave my house it’s usually in the mid-30s.  I stepped out, pulled out my phone and the weather app said 55 degrees at 7:20 in the morning – nice!  I came back in, switched to a...

Quick Post

Quick Post
Last night after my day job I had to go to the Merchandise Mart for our quarterly employee meeting.  I didn’t get home until a bit after ten and I just didn’t feel like downloading my pictures to do a regular post – turns out I decided watching the Voice on the DVR was a much better idea!  I was happy that a guy named...
