Under the Weather

I'm home sick today; sore throat, coughing, and weak. I woke up this way on Sunday. After all the parties and the cooking and the cleaning. I need a day of rest! It was all I could do to get through a full day of work yesterday. I was fading away as the day went on.

So as I'm a couch potato today, I will dig into the DVD archive for a movie. What to watch??? A movie from my archive or should I go rent something more recent from Blockbuster?

The new washer and dryer came this past Saturday. They delivered the wrong dryer. I discovered that the next day when I went to use it. So they will be back this coming Saturday to deliver the correct one. Such joy - new appliances!

Addendum: I don't believe the ex will come through with extra dough as he alluded to that this past weekend. As I always say: He has every best intention. I'm not disappointed because I know this of him up front and don't put stock into such comments. I can't anymore. I don't want his money and never ask for $ above and beyond what he duly owes for child support but if he offered I may have taken it for payment of pain and suffering :)

Thanksgiving HNT

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
May you have a safe and healthy holiday.
HNT #10

I am thankful for a warm and safe and happy childhood that brought me to where I am today. A happy and reasonably well-adjusted adult (ha!).
During the next couple days reflect on yourself and your surroundings and appreciate all that you have. And tell those around you that you are thankful they are a part of your life.

Enjoy the holiday and be safe when visiting and celebrating.

I am thankful for the friends I've made here.
It's nice to know that you can reach out to a friend in the Pacific Northwest or the Great Lakes area or Europe! Back in the day they called it pen pals and it was very well accepted.
Today it's cyber-friends, but people are judgemental that you have a friend you chat with online that you've never met. It doesn't diminish the value of the friendship.
I value the friendships made and wish you nothing but the best this holiday season.

Want to know what the fuss is about?

I've been tagged!

According to the rules…

Each player of this game starts with the “6 weird things about you”. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says “you are tagged” in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

I was tagged by Chelle


Here are mine:


1. I have a lot of beautiful jewelry but I tend to wear the same, favorite pieces, which are very understated, all the time. (Less is more).

2. I can't leave the house without makeup. If I do I wear big, dark (celebrity style) sunglasses and just put on lipstick. Makes it look like you're all done up when you're not.

3. I'm a news junky and start each day reading online news in a specific order before I can do anything else.

4. I'm a perfectionist, yet sometimes I can be quite messy. Look it up...it's a characterisitic of a perfectionist.

5. I'm addicted to "The View" this season. I tape it every day so I can watch it at night. Not because I'm a fan but because I thought adding Rosie into the mix would create controversy. You know I'm right.

6. Believe it or not...I'm incredibly private! I don't share my personal life with many...yet I do with you people????


Who will I tag?


You're it: Mark Leslie, Heidi, Erika, Art, Lady Xandria, Redneck Nerdboy.


I love my dentist!

So here it is the day before Thanksgiving and I take the day off to prepare for my Thanksgiving Day dinner guests that will arrive tomorrow. But I had an 8:00 a.m. dentist appointment!

Oddly enough...I love my dentist and her staff. I needed two old fillings replaced. We watched "As Good As It Gets" while they worked on me.

I used to work in the same town and my favorite coffee shop is located nearby. So the bonus was that I stopped to bring home a cup of my favorite java from my favorite coffee joint.

Now it's off to cleaning the place before the guests arrive. I probably won't be leaving home now for the next 48 hours.

How Do I Love Thee?

It's my sweetheart's birthday today. As we speak, I'm making him Beef Wellington for dinner. I gave him two funny cards yesterday. Funny cards because they aren't too smoopy. Today on the way home I bought a lovey, dovey card. It's a lovely card...it says "My Love - In this world of a thousand wonders...there is nothing more wonderful than having you and your love in my life. Happy Birthday. "

Which brings me to my problem. This is the third store I visited to get such a card. All the other cards had statements such as "I'll love you forever" which I kept putting down. As if I can't commit to making that statement. I hate what divorce has done to me in that regard. Err on the side of caution. Don't say anything you can't promise.

Thank God It's Friday!!!


I feel like the scarecrow and somebody has to put
the stuffing back in me.

Will you put the stuffing back in me?

HNT - Shower Boobs

HNT #9

And remember to check out my list:
"100 Things About Me!"

See the link in the left hand sidebar!

My co-worker who hurt my feelings a couple weeks ago called me today as if nothing happened and then caught me off guard by saying "I hope we're still friends because I love you too much." Well, the light bulb went on. He's done or said things before and then came back a couple days later with this same blanket statement. I said "of course" however, my true feelings are that I felt completely betrayed by his behavior and would never consider being personal friends with him. I don't feel he is genuine but can't figure him out. I considered talking with him about the episode that occurred a couple weeks ago but don't feel that there is any benefit to having that conversation because he has never apologized and I don't believe he will. I think this individual just likes to "stir the pot" at work as a past-time. So I will continue to be pleasant and have a working relationship but don't want to have conversations about our personal lives or talk about other people or anything that doesn't have to do with our work.
~~~~

I bought a washer and dryer last night! Yeah! Very happy with my choices. I could have had the set delivered as soon as this weekend but opted for them to come right after Thanksgiving as I have way too much going on.
~~~~

Which brings me to my ex. He has been so sweet lately I can't figure it out. Outwardly, verbally sweet towards me. He's not the most emotionally verbal guy! Let's start with Sunday when he called to say he'd be over to bring me a check (child support). He came over, brought me a coffee (?) and asked me if I'd help him balance his checkbook. Well flashback! He doesn't write things down in the checkbook which screws him all up. But I helped, gave him tips and he left. He hadn't been feeling well and spent the day in bed on Saturday. Monday at work I receive a call from him asking if I'd do him a big favor and call his doctor and make him an appointment. He felt dizzy and found a lump under his armpit when he showered that morning. So he's working at Yale University on construction and I know from history it's difficult to make calls from that kind of job if you can even get cell phone reception from the bowels of Yale. So I don't ask WHY I get this task (and not the girlfriend), but I make the call for him.

I get the nurse and am using my words very carefully simply saying I'm trying to make an appointment for Brian. She asks me his symptoms and I say, "dizzy and lump under armpit." Well, of course, she asks for other symptoms and I say "I don't know." She asks, "Are you Mrs. B." Now I'm "dying" because I really don't want to explain my relationship to him especially when you sit in a cubicle with a bunch of people surrounding you, so I simply say, "yes." I could feel the poor girl's frustration with me and ask her to hold and conference call him in and say "YOU need to talk to this girl" and explain to him that since I patched her through I can't hang up and that I'll listen in. So I connect them and he tells her all his symptoms and gets an appointment for that afternoon. She hangs up and I ask him, "Why did I get this task?"

He answers, "You don't think Judy will call for me do you? She slammed the door on me this morning while I was 'coughing up a lung' because I was disturbing her. When I got to work and told Greg (friend) he said 'Regina would have never done that to you, she would have taken care of you and called the doctor.' and I told him I know she would have." So I say, "So now you appreciate me." He says, "Now I appreciate you."

Men!

So we hang up. I don't feel better by obtaining this information - it just makes me feel worse. I'm thinking "Dumb ass!"

So now it's Wednesday and I'm still at work at 4:10pm. The ex calls me but has an urgency in his voice. So I ask "Is there something wrong?" He says no and asks me how much the washer and dryer cost me. I explain that I gave a $100 deposit and tell him what I owe when they deliver it. He says, "I'm working on a side job and should make good money. I want to give you a couple hundred dollars towards the dryer and help out." I'm shocked and am practically speechless but utter, "Thank you." He adds, "Gotta keep the kid's clothes clean." So although this is nice and generous I'll really believe it when it happens. I've always said, about him, he has every good intention but just isn't that reliable although I'd like to believe he would come through this time. Not because I want his money but because it would restore my faith in him.

I really don't know what to make of him lately although I enjoy that we're getting along. I have a child with him and we both have incredibly small families and I consider him my family. Because when all is said and done and our parents are gone, we really only have each other and my daughter, and my sister and niece. THAT IS IT!

Addendum: I've never taken advantage of my husband during our marriage of 18 years. I've never asked him for money or material things during the marriage and only asked when my check was coming when he was late paying child support. I never ask for financial help as I know I'll always manage, somehow.

It's not a full moon but my co-worker trying to warm up to me and my ex being so kind is slightly freaking me out! I will just be quiet and watch it all unfold because history tells me that things change constantly and can be going one way today and make a total turn-a-round tomorrow.

The ex received antibiotics and is feeling better. The lump is nothing but a cyst, probably from working at the dirty job at Yale.

The Laundromat is my church

My washer died 2 weeks ago. This is my second Sunday of going to the local laundromat early in the a.m. The upside of the laundromat: 5 loads of laundry in 1 hour versus all day laundry at home. Also, I was forced to relax during the drying time and actually read a book!

I desperately needed the downtime of sitting for one hour and reading as the week unfolded to some scary stuff. I have a "bruise" for a lack of a better word on my breast that hasn't gone away. Someone at work asked me if I knew what IBC was. I did not. Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Apparently you don't get a lump and this is one of the symptoms. So I left work early on Friday and went to see the doctor. The minute I arrived he was heading out for an emergency at the hospital. So I had to wait until Saturday morning to get to see him.

Meanwhile, between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, as I convinced myself that I had an aggressive form of cancer, I planned my finances in my head and made provisions for my daughter's future. The mind is a tricky thing.

My doc wasn't too concerned as he said that IBC is a rare cancer. I'm already scheduled for a mammography in December and he didn't feel the urge to move the appointment up.

So I didn't really feel any better as he added the disclaimer that "he could be wrong" because "his wife tells him he's wrong all the time." I left the medical center and went to the gas station. I was so distracted that I didn't replace my gas cap after filling up and drove off. I noticed almost immediately but couldn't find my gas cap when I retraced my steps.

This drove me nuts because I don't lose things, I don't hit things with my car, etc. - you see the point - and I couldn't believe I allowed myself to become unglued enough to lose a silly little gas cap.

My stress level, which I internalize as you'll see in my "100 Things About Me", was enough that all the muscles in my neck and shoulders are screaming with tightness. I thought a good night's rest would fix that but carrying the heavy loads of laundry didn't help.

I need a massage! And I need about a month off from work to regroup.

100 Things About Me!

1. I’ve lived in Connecticut all my life.

2. I’m 100% Italian.

3. I’m an extremely loyal friend.

4. I carry secrets to the grave.

5. Pets come and go but I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Max, my German Shepard.

6. I had a four year relationship with a man 9 years younger than me. My heart has never recovered.

7. Music means everything to me.

8. The first concert I ever attended was America, in 1971 or 1972. I went to see them this summer to memorialize that experience.

9. I wanted to pursue being an artist but didn’t think I was good enough.

10. I like to people watch. I am a good judge of character.

11. I was always athletic in school, beating out running times of the boy’s track team.

12. I used to ride dirt bikes/quads. It was a passion and I miss it.

13. I love jazz music and long for jazz bars in this state, but there are none.

14. I love to cook.

15. Integrity is an important quality to me.

16. I was married for 18 years. Marriage didn’t define me nor does divorce.

17. I now date someone I knew before we were both married. We worked at the same place and married and divorced around the same time. There was never anything between us except being acquaintances.

18. I don’t know that I’ll ever marry again.

19. My current relationship gives me the stability that I need.

20. I didn’t divorce my husband for lack of love. He doesn’t know this. I couldn’t possibly tell him. It wouldn’t make sense to him.

21. People don’t realize my ex and are divorced because we’re friendly.

22. My current job is not that fulfilling.

23. My girlfriend(s) are usually a sister replacement type relationship. I have a sister of my own.

24. I love to make people laugh. I notice that same trait in my daughter. I think she is incredibly funny.

25. I never liked receiving flowers from men. I do like receiving them from my beau. I feel that he is genuine.

26. It is difficult for me to surrender to others to do things for me. I’m getting better at it.

27. People often tell me that I’m “strong.” It worries me when I hear it so often. I wonder if that is the only thing they can see about me.

28. My boyfriend loves my cooking. He’ll tease me by saying “That was really horrible.” He doesn’t know it but my ex would make critical comments seriously. I overlook the humor, but the first time my heart dropped. I don’t have the heart to tell him.

29. I get along with everyone I ever dated. I still talk to my high school boyfriend.

30. I don’t speak to the guy who was 9 years younger. Too painful. He contacted me this year; it’s been 3 years. I acted indifferent so as to discourage him. In reality I think we belong together. I won’t open myself up to him for fear of being hurt. It took me years to get to this place.

31. I left behind some personal things at that old boyfriend’s house. I really, really wish he’d return my Steely Dan CD Box Set. It’s the only thing I want back.

32. I appreciate the little things in life, a flower, a sunrise or moonlight. I find these things fascinating.

33. I’m not as patient as I used to be. I used to be the most patient person in the world. This changed during the process of my divorce.

34. I love creative people, whether they be artists or techies, I love their mind and how they think.

35. I love to think outside the box.

36. I broke my ankle a couple years ago. First time I broke anything. I was relieved no matter how bad the pain was because I desperately needed time off from work and time off from life. This was during my divorce. I was couch-bound with a thigh-high cast for two months. I found it to be a good time to reflect and emotionally get myself into shape.

37. I’ll always look back in embarrassment about having the broken leg, being in a wheelchair and getting wheeled into the courtroom by my then husband for divorce proceedings. (I felt pathetic). The lawyers couldn’t figure us out.

38. I tend to communicate with my pets non-verbally and bond very closely with them in a way that always amazes people.

39. I’m a people pleaser.

40. I internalize stress.

41. There’s not anything I wouldn’t do for someone.

42. I make friends easily.

43. People that are difficult to get to know are a challenge to me.

44. I’m outgoing.

45. I used to be painfully shy.

46. I love a good party.

47. I’m always in control.

48. I’m not a control freak.

49. Men relate to me well.

50. I feel deep satisfaction when my house is in order and neat.

51. I feel overwhelmed when my house is messy.

52. I worry that I won’t be able to find 100 things about me to write down.

53. I love movies.

54. I think that I always secretly lived vicariously through movies.

55. I’m very open minded.

56. I love intellectual conversations with others.

57. I’ve given nicknames to co-workers, behind their backs, when I was much younger, that seem to have stuck with them throughout the years by the other employees, and no one can really remember or never knew where the nickname originated. It humors me to hear about it.

58. Currently, I feel like when I was in my early twenties when I didn’t understand how a person knew when they were really in love.

59. It bothers me to feel this way. I worry I’ll miss out on something by not being ready.

60. I love unconditionally. Money and material things could never sway me or endear me more to a person.

61. I’d give the shirt off my back for a friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

62. I’ve spent time with friends 24/7 if they were in need, like in times of divorce or crisis.

63. My friends say I have the credentials of a psychologist during their crises.

64. My boyfriend is extremely quiet. I learned to like this quality. I can read him pretty damn well.

65. I’ve learned less is more and don’t burden him with idle female chit-chat about nonsensical things.

66. I had a boyfriend (Mr. 9 Years Younger) that was really sensitive and we could talk about everything under the sun and analyze things and I could share female chit-chat about nonsensical things. It was nice while it lasted. I don’t expect to have that again with a guy.

67. I laugh out loud at truly funny things. I admire people who can laugh out loud.

68. My boyfriend doesn’t laugh out loud. He sometimes doesn’t show any emotion even when I know he finds something amusing. I wish he’d laugh out loud.

69. Sex is fun. I thought #69 needed to be properly memorialized.

70. I look forward to quiet times alone. I’m used to being alone from when I was married. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to share my space with someone because of it.

71. I went to my high school reunion in 1998. My Junior H.S. boyfriend was there with his wife. While his wife was on the dance floor he told me he carried a torch for me all through H.S. I’ve googled him from time to time since then. He divorced about a year ago. I’ve been waiting, since then, for him to appear at my doorstep. I believe in fate. If it’s meant to be we’ll connect somehow by chance.

72. I don’t really have any vices that are harmful to me other than not having diet discipline.

73. I’m finding this exercise of writing 100 things about me very therapeutic.

74. I’ve never been to a therapist. I don’t think I’ll ever go. I know myself better than anyone and can work things through without the aide of an outsider.

75. I don’t think I could pick a favorite food. It would be like picking a favorite offspring.

76. I’ve never tasted brussel sprouts. They scare me.

77. I’ve been to Disney World too many times.

78. My favorite vacation spots are actually in New England, close to home, because I find them serene and beautiful and they truly give me peace and relaxation.

79. I love the beach although I don’t like the beaches in Connecticut. I’d travel to Rhode Island to go to a decent beach.

80. I would love to own a vacation home at the shore in Rhode Island. It’s been my dream since I was a young girl. I always thought I’d accomplish this by the time I was 40.

81. I cook for Thanksgiving and always have. I gave it up one year for a break and got it back by popular demand. I cook a damn fine meal on Thanksgiving.

82. I whistle “Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow” at work when I’m stressed, but the words I’m singing in my head are, “Bite my ass, bite my ass, bite my ass.”

83. I feel overwhelmed at times carrying responsibility by myself. I’ve felt this way most of my adult life.

84. I don’t generally ask for things of my mate. It’s not my nature.

85. I used to sleepwalk as a kid. Many times my family would have to stop me from going outside “to play.”

86. As a kid I had two recurring nightmares, for many years. I remember them vividly to this day.

87. I don’t usually have fears and if I do I embrace them to overcome them. This has worked very well for me.

88. While I was going through the process of divorce I didn’t tell anyone I worked with, not even my work friends. So for a year no one knew. My boss and I became confidants once I told him.

89. That boss no longer works with me. He was “squeezed” out. I miss him terribly. He used to call me Gidget and I would call him Moon-doggy. These kind of exchanges happened often.

90. I now work for a woman. She’s lovely but I prefer working for men.

91. When my grandmother died, I felt she left me the gift of dealing with death and understanding death and dying. I was in high school when she died. I felt it was a celebration of life rather than feeling grief, as she showed me with her acceptance of being ready to go.

92. I received two charms, after my grandmother’s passing, that she wore around her neck every day. One was a religious medal and the other was an Italian hand to ward off evil. I wear them when I feel troubled. I feel they protect me. This summer when I needed strength I put them on. I took them off last weekend. I had the worst week at work. I cursed myself for taking them off.

93. Someone hit my car in the parking lot at work this week. This was the least worrisome thing that happened this week.

94. I’m going to place the chain with my grandmother’s charms back on my neck today and probably never take them off again!

95. I’m not particularly superstitious, but I’d believe anything my grandmother believed in. She was a very wise woman.

96. I’ve never been to Europe and would love to travel the European countries.

97. My first priority would be to travel throughout the U.S. before venturing to Europe. I think our country is beautiful.

98. I would love to have a career that includes either cooking, animals or philanthropy.

99. I wish I had the discipline to eat only organic food and food that wasn’t processed.

100. I plan on growing a garden next year. I don’t particularly have a green thumb. I’d like to eat my own home-grown vegetables.

HNT - My pussy missed my boyfriend

HNT #8
My beau just returned from a week away.
Lurking in the background...Mitch, the gray and white dude, apparently missed him.

Young Love HNT

Remember your first love? And how the feelings of love were overwhelming? Those were the days! If we're lucky enough, as adults, we can have that kind of love...again. But meanwhile I will live vicariously through two young adults I know and love and I hope all their dreams come true.
