No drama in a week - kinda eerie! Not that I want it but I spend energy waiting for something to happen.
We are heading into another quarter end at work - I swear we just did this! That's what happens when your job has lots of repetition - everything blends together. This also means we are entering Q4 which is the holiday quarter - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas! I can't believe it! Where did this year go!
There is a group of us at work that get together and play the card game UNO at lunch. We have lots of fun - K has a notebook that has the scores from every game that's been played. Today she proposed we play in teams - meaning your partner sits across from you so you don't hit them with any +2 or +4 cards. So K partnered with R and I partnered with L. The first round was funny because L and I kept skipping the other two and then making them pick up cards. Round about the 4th hand I starting laughing so hard I got tears in my eyes - I kept playing +2 and +4 cards on R that at one point he counted his cards and he had 17! Oh - have I mentioned that L and I won every hand! It was hilarious. Not sure K's gonna propose playing partners again anytime soon!
I had a Relief Society Committee meeting tonight. We have some big monthly activities coming up - lots of decisions and planning to do. I haven't been very good lately at attending meetings or going to church on Sunday. I'm not sure why - I just can't seem to get up on Sunday - I've been feeling blah - having those "my life sucks" thoughts and just not wanting to do anything. Some of my FB friends posted a paragraph this week that I will share part of here:
It's hard to explain to someone who has no clue. It's a daily struggle being in pain or feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside (Anxiety, BiPolar, Depression) Never Judge What You Don't Understand.

Remote Control Etiquette
Today at lunch we had a discussion about remote controls. This scenario came up:
A wife comes home at 10 pm and her husband is sitting on the couch with the tv on. She picks up the remote and goes to change the channel without saying anything to him. He asks her what is she doing and she responded "Were you watching that"
Is that a violation of the remote control code? My friend - who did this was shocked by our reaction - we all said you don't touch a person's remote.
What are your thoughts?

Story Correction
There was a part of the story that was left out of last night's post. L did call her Dad and ask what was going on. He had been going through some old stuff - including letters from her when she was in Montana where she asked him why he wasn't writing to her. This brought up old feelings and angry which resulted in his rant to me. L told him he should apologize and he did. I accepted the apology - but part of me wishes he had apologized for what he said and accused me of and not just for having sent the rant.
I apologize for not haiving this in last nights post.

I Am Scattered
I told my friend at work today that the Rolling Stones were going to remake a song about me and instead of singing I'm Shattered it's going to be I'm Scattered!
I have been forgetting appointments, my phone, names, and passwords! It's really been bothering me and driving me crazy. I had a Lisa appt today and I was telling her about a few things that had happened over the last few weeks. She said "So much drama". And it dawned on us - I get scattered when there is a lot of emotional drama going on! Hello! Lightbulb! Now - we all know that with my life the way it is and with who's in it there ain't gonna be less drama any time soon! So I bought a pocket calendar and a small notebook so I can write things down - appointments and things I need/want to do.
So - you may be asking - what drama? Y'all know about the L Target fiasco a few weeks ago. Well, there also was some weird ex drama.
I received a message from L's Dad that was out of the blue and I had no idea where his anger came from. One of the main things that he wrote was that he accused me of telling the people at the Montana school to hold back any letters from him - I know what you're thinking - wasn't that like 5+ years ago!?! Now you know why it confused me. He said things like -
"Do you hate me so much that you would take it out on your daughter out of spite and revenge"
"WTF do you get off messing with your own daughter like that"
"Explain to me why you think it was ok to totally degrade me . . . Slam me . . . on your blog for all the world to see"
See - totally weird. I responded with a rather long message - which I won't repeat here word for word. Here are a few things I said.
"I would never have told anyone to hold letters. Part of her therapy in Montana was to work out her feelings of abandonment and to understand why R hates her so much"
"Did you ever think that maybe the letters never got sent. Unless you actually handed them to the post office yourself you should consider the possibility that they were never sent."
"I have never taken what happened between you and me out on L. The only person that ever did that was R"
"If my blog pisses you off then why do you read it"
" I have never used names so the whole world doesn't know who it is I wrote about"
I hadn't written about this when it happened and I think that's why I've been so scattered. So new rule - when drama happens I need to write it down and not hold the emotions in. Clear that space out for more important things - like where I left my keys!

Where Did She Go
I have been trying to get on here to tell you a fun story but either Mom has been hogging the computer or she hasn't even turned it on. She is busy watching Survivor right now trying to narrow her choices down to her top 3 in her quest to win the coveted Jeff Probst Bobblehead!!
A week or so ago we went up to Nana and Papa's house in La Conner - the humans were picking players for their Fantasy Football teams - I wanted to play with the kitties! But alas - Tuggy and Annie didn't want to play with me. Luckily Mom had brought up my squirrely for me - she's my favorite toy and is so well loved! When we got home from our visit I looked all over the house and could not find my squirrely!! Oh No!! Mom lost her! I was so sad - Mom would say bedtime and I had no toy to pick up and take with me. Oh - I have baskets of toys but I only wanted my squirrely.
A few days later Mom and I went to get the mail and she told me that I had a package - not sure what that is but she seemed rather excited. We got inside and she opened the top of an envelope - put it down close to me - said look what's inside . . . . . . . . SQUIRRELY!!!!
I put my muzzle into that envelope and grabbed hold of my squirrely and pulled her out! I tossed her around in the air - made her squeek - I have been taking her everywhere with me! When I follow Mom to a different room I have my squirrely in my mouth taking her with me. I have also been chasing the kitties away from her - they're not playing with favorite toy!!
OK - Mom just said bedtime so I need to grab the squirrely and head on in.

Birthday
Ok - so the post that's been under construction ran into some labor problems and never got completed. You just can't find good work these days. Hopefully it will get posted eventually!
My Birthday weekend was amazing!
Saturday - Fantasy Football Draft! A few technical issues after the fourth round caused some stress but we continued on and I think I got a pretty good team. Time will tell. Afterwards I had an amazing dinner with my Mom and Dad.
Sunday - Dinner at Red Robin with L - our go to place! I am a Red Robin Club Member so I got a free burger during my Birthday month. Then it was off to the Hanson concert! Yes Hanson - the Mmmbop group. They have put out additional CDs since then and I really enjoy their music. L and I had a blast! After the concert, we walked by the alley where their tour bus was parked and saw a group of girls standing there. We went down to wait and see if we could see the boys. When we got there we realized Zac was standing there signing autographs and taking pictures!! L and I turned into giddy teenagers!
