Had to giggle a little--I told my sweet Amber the story about work and she said Mom you have to stick up for yourself or that girl will keep walking all over you and if she does I'm going to have to fly all the way out there just to open a can of whoopass! I love her so much! My little protector!
Back from my dentist appointment--no cavities! Yes!
One of my old cats has managed to find herself a flea or two--great! Where there is one there is more so so I put some of the DE on her and guess today is my vacuuming day--ugh! Everyone is having a bad time with fleas this year it seems or so our customers have been saying. Guess the weather has been good to them! Many of the typical flea products have stopped working---as I tell the customers--the fleas will be here on this earth long after we are gone. They constantly become immune to the poisons. My reason for using and advocating the DE--but it is more work and you have to be willing to work at it. Not sure that I'm feeling up to it but doesn't look like I have a choice.....my entire house needs a good cleaning. If I spent as much time cleaning as I do worrying it would be spotless! Hmmmmm...something to think about!
Grief is such a hard thing to understand. My girlfriend lost her husband to ALS 5 years ago and woke up screaming his name the other night. She felt very down the whole next day and that is after 5 years? She said for the most part she has moved on but there are times. I know for me it's been much more difficult after the first year. I thought it would get easier but I suppose now I know the reality of it all and no long have that protective fog that seems to be there at the beginning. Now it's a lot of up-hill. But I find I really have to work at it now---make myself do what has to be done. I know with time things get better.......
I go to work this morning---my first day since that problem with my co-worker. I didn't sleep much--very restless. With my self confidence so low already it is very hard to jump right back into the game. But I have no choice really since I need the job and really I like the job itself. Just going to make a "cheat-sheet" about things on the register so I can refer to that instead of asking for help. Hope it works.
Was out feeding the outside cats and dogs and heard a bunch of coyotes in the distance so am not letting my inside cats out until it's light....
Please keep your fingers crossed for me today that it will be a good day at work! Thanks.
Sorry about the sleep problem, a problem that visits me every night, some worse than others.
Just keep in mind others are people, they have faults and strengths. Try to emphasize their strengths and complement them (not too often) and try to just move on when their weakness surfaces. Return to the work you were doing an don't look at or talk to them. Not THE answer, just some thought on how to deal with people who cause stress.
Thank you Jerry--needed the input. I am a nervous wreck but I "need" this job. I will do my best---after all that is all I can do. The sad part is, especially a young person like this girl has no idea what my last few years have been like or anyone else for that matter. Anyhow it doesn't matter now....I'm off to work! Have a blessed day!
