Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
"Work hard, know your stuff. Listen to no one except the two smartest and kindest adults you know, and that doesn't always mean your parents. If you do that, you will be fine."
signs of toxic people:
1. you dread being around them
2. your belly hurts or feels unsettled
3. you're exhausted or angry after dealing with them
4. you feel bad about yourself

:) some quotes.
"Dear God, Please stop teaching me how to deal with difficult people. Amen."
"My head is not an armrest. Thank you very much."
"You create more space in your life when you turn your excess baggage to garbage."
Making progress on this move. First day in new position is a week from tomorrow. It is coming up very fast! Cleaned out freezer and pantry, something we should all do. Some of the pantry foods dated back to 2016!
And you gotta be especially careful with tomatoes. When cleaning out mom's cupboard there were 2 or three cans of chopped tomatoes that had fermented and exploded in the sealed can. That was one heck of a mess!

I am enjoying the longer days - never mind what the clock says. So nice to see it light at suppertime.
Still lots of snow here, but it is getting warmer. 😊
Just connected on fb with an ex colleague from the college. Haven't seen her in years. I found out she is living in the town just next to my new one - 10 mins drive away. We look forward to having coffee and talking about old times. Feels good!
Dd just had her 2nd dose of chemo and is dealing with nausea. Her guts are better than last time so far, thankfully.
300 mg Vitamin B1 a day has done away with the fibromyalgia pain. I am so grateful. Now I am tackling solutions to the fatigue. I really believe I can find something that helps!!!
Nephew #2 is has officially been given notice he will be leaving northern AB and heading south, it's hard to believe his contract is already over! He's the one that proposed over Christmas so he and his fiancee are looking forward to settling down in an area with more opportunities for her and future children 😁
Glad our nephew is moving south and he and his fiancée are working it out.
He's moving to a larger town north of Calgary with a bigger detachment, 11 officers vs 5 😜. I've learned a lot about the realities of trying to police small remote communities these past few years, frankly I don't understand why anyone sticks with it.
I have no idea where I got that but, I just knew it was:-(
I do know better - March 15 is the ides of March when Julius Caesar was assassinated, Mar 16 dd's birthday, March 17 St. Patrick's Day. I was thinking of naming her Julia Patricia but I didn't think she would appreciate it. 😊
(other grandpa, my ex, has stage 4 prostate cancer and is currently suffering from COVID; he's not taking this well.)
He was invited to Pickle's after-school birthday party tomorrow, but refuses to come. He will only accept having her for the day without any "supervision".
I don't know how long the city has been dying the river every year but I remember it as a kid.
Barb, sorry for the continuing drama. Comparing himself to the other grandfather in a 5yo's bday card is ridiculous. I hope her parents are consoled by knowing they absolutely did the right thing by flagging this outing.
So yes, since around the age of 3 or so, she spends whole days or overnights with us.
The difference is that this out of town gp hasn't seen her in person since she was 2 and he has no clue about her habits, needs and the like. We suggested one of us coming along, but he was insulted that a chaperone was suggested. He's here with his 90 year old demented, wheelchair bound father. And she's a wanderer.
on my mind?
i was just imagining all of us meeting up, physically in a room, with champagne and cake. some big celebration, a happy occasion.
and we're all a bit surprised how we really look - our real faces, real names, and how it matches our screen names.
BIG hugs from me to everyone.
courage.
bundle of joy :)
What's more? They blame someone else for their misery. Grrr!!!
I can't stand those threads.

different topic.
i found a new motto for myself:
“It takes less time to do things right than to explain why you did it wrong.”
