| Thoughts and takes on the way life presents.... |
| So my son Matt went shopping with me. Before we hit the grocery store I made sure to tell him that I need to drop off the paycheck and mail bills. My mistake is I put the grocery list and the paycheck in the same stack as the bills to be mailed. So we mail the bills and then head for the bank. I got confused and stop by the grocery store first wherein Matt asks if I am skipping the bank. You know that Oh, shit expression you get when you know you blew it. That was me. Slam on the brakes and start searching madly. Matt had to tell me to pull into a parking spot to look. After he figured out that I was looking for my paycheck, he asked if it was in the stack of envelopes that he mailed. Yes! So I drop him off to do shopping while I head back to the post office. I walked up to the clerk and said I did something stupid. She got her supervisor who walked out to the post box to get it. I told her what it looked like and what name was on it and boy was I thankful and appreciative when I got it back. She got a good laugh and bruised egos heal. After we got the groceries that Matt shopped for, we head straight to the bank and deposit the check. Then off to home where I found out I got a refund check from the mortgage company. I lost a Christmas check that my dad gave me. I misplaced a Christmas bonus check for 10 hours. I tried to mail an unstamped unaddressed payroll check to myself. Who thinks I can be trusted with this refund check? Anyone? |
| Prompt: What is the worst thing that happened to you this year? What is the best thing that happened to you this year? I think there has to be one good thing to a year to balance it all out or otherwise you just want to skip the whole dang thing. This is the year of too much death, too much sickness, and then looking forward to one little itty bitty new life scheduled to enter this world next week. How can a heart take such divergent variances in emotion. Ben died in February Brian died in February AJ died in march Richard died in April DeGalynn died in May My boss had a fake TRO dropped on him in June. Brian's heirs demanded that we buy out Brian's portion of the house. My daughter and her husband brought my husband and me a cake that said 1+1=3 (I did not need an interpreter for that riddle) My boss was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August. September was the gift of Brian's heirs deciding to be assholes and made us hire an attorney to get this house deal finalized. October the heirs blew another closing date. Finally came up with an agreement and finalized the deal in November. Unfortunately, the boss spent the entire month of November and most of December in the hospital, and what was not in the hospital was in the nursing home. My nephew and his lover had their baby in November. It is a little boy baby and they gave him a name that only they like. They screwed up the middle name too. If he survives school he will be in entertainment or a professional something. December so far has been quite awful. Hubby spent 3 days in the hospital for a bronchial infection. This is where I let my red eyes show. The primary doctor was a neurologist who could not get it through her thick head that he was sick not having an MS relapse. So I put on my big girl boots and threatened to talk to my lawyer if he did not have a respiratory doctor in there that day, and I did not care that it was 4:30 on a Saturday night, I would be calling their hospital administrator and my attorney. He had the right doctor up there within the hour and he got the meds he needed and was able to be discharged the next day. I am "borrowing" his meds so that I can get rid of whatever he gave me. I hope this is gone in time for the birth of my first grandbaby. I hope they do not give her some horrible name that only they like. The way my year is going, that is more than a real possibility. Let's hope that the year closes with this as the high note. Merry Christmas and I hope your year was better than mine. |
