bits and pieces

It's a potpourri sort of blog with random thoughts. If you thought I was manic you might call this racing thoughts. Vroom, vroom. Good luck keeping up.

The horses: Well, I got the email from Taya's owner asking for a decision about what I'm going to do. Considering the recent financial struggles it would be very selfish of me to continue my lease. However, as Fraulein Maria says "When God closes a door, he always opens a window somewhere" I have been lucky enough to be standing in the same room as the door and the window. The new horse which is now in New Hampshire because he was adopted was a short lived affair. However, three people have recommended me to this one woman who has a horse that needs to be exercised. My fingers are crossed that it's just that and not a lead into a lease. Only time will tell.

Work: Nurse Mc Cunty keeps me in stitches as she talks about her weight loss plan which includes jogging and a breast reduction. But the best bit of drama is the ultimate set up. I told work 9 days prior to my vacation that I was still on the schedule. I told the nurse manager, the scheduling person, the director of nursing [the nurse manager's boss] and my union delegate. I come home from vacation to get a voice mail telling me they were looking for me. So, please, please try and fire me. Considering the shift supervisor didn't speak to me tonight I figure that's the direction they are heading in.

Money: I can't even start. Relationship: Doesn't belong on this blog, but I wish I had someone to talk to about it.

Vacation: AWESOME!!!! It was amazing to see my 80 something year old grandmother. I'd forgotten how impressive South Dakota was. It was my first road trip as an adult for more than eight hours to reach our destination. It was worth it. I'm so happy I got to see so much of the country. We stopped in Chicago for a night and while we missed out on the Red Head Piano Bar, the history museum was lovely. Tons of pictures for a scrap book I can't wait to start working on.

Oh, one more dippy thing I managed to do: lose my phone. I pay for insurance but the deductible is 89.99 for a phone I paid 50 for. Can we say bad math? Oh, well. What the fuck am I going to do about it? More like, what can I do about it? NOTHING!

Ok, next blog..... random thoughts I'd really like to put up on facebook
