Back to work and just stress

So my vacation is now over. Question to myself, did it ever happen? I am finding that hard to believe now that it is already Friday. This week has been crazy, I have not caught up from being gone from the previous week. Changes continue to happen, people quitting, via email! Does anyone think that is a professional way to resign? New managers starting and not getting it, even though they have been in the building for 5 years, OK a little patience on my part is needed. Lack of organization, having to be all to everyone, day long conference calls and meetings. Working nights, not 1, not 2, but can we say 3 out of 5 days and to top that off, I get to work on Sunday, which is always the worst day to work of the week, cause it is really a very long day. So as you can see, I am not in the space where I need to be. Could it be that the situation at home is affecting what and how I am doing? I think so. Life is not real fun at the house right now. I am tired of not sleeping. I am tired of people not being proactive. I am tired of having to cook every day of the week, except maybe one. I am tired of the rain. I am over hurricanes and the weather men. I am tired of Caylee Anthony's family drama on TV. I am tired of football being on and it just started. I am tired of reruns. When do the fall shows start? OK, enough of being tired. Every now and then I feel you just need to be on the pity pot, and that is where I am. So tomorrow is another day as Scarlett said, and I will be better. Thanks for all who listen and read.

Black vs White, Iron vs Dryer

Vacation Day 6

Yesterday, I had this great idea to dye all of the black clothes that have faded. I did not know that there is an entire process for dying. I forgot those old days of tye dying t shirts when I was younger. Anyway, Macy's has a black dress code. I of course love cotton and linen. We all know that dark colors fade after washing several times. I had collected 13 black tops vs 19 white tops, 4 black suits, no white ones, 6 black skirts vs 1 white and lots of prints, 1 black pant vs lots of crops and 1 black dress vs 1 white. I love white tops. They are my favorite. Steph you keep all of your white T's as you never have enough. Back to the dying, I did it the "old fashioned" way, which is boiling water and seeping your clothes. All in all it took over 3 hours to do this process. So then it was on the drying rack for all. Now all I have to do is iron.

I spent this morning ironing all of my clothes that needed it. Started around 930a and finished up at 1130a. I never realized how wonderful clothes look when ironed, yes Carey, I even ironed all of the t shirts! And to think I actually did something productive that will keep me dressed for work for at least 3 weeks.

But back to black vs white. I hate black clothes, they are depressing and only really look good at black tie affairs. White on the other hand gives everyone the look of being cool and comfortable. Plus White never fades and you can always make white whiter!

Vacation Day 4 update

Oh, forgot to mention, that if anyone needs a great shampoo, call Cimi, she is the best!

Vacation day 4

The pic is a frog clinging to the window with Rocko trying to lick him off. So my vacation is now in full swing. Just getting things done around the house. Having family and friends over for a Labor Day BBQ, and NOT mentioning Gustav. But hey we do live in Florida and they are just lined up waiting to get here and to give all of the weather forecasters an exciting broadcast. For those wondering what everyone did for the not to be mentioned storm, Dago's mother, dad, sister and family and brother and family all went to Santa Rosa Beach. Monica and the boys went to Dallas and Martha went to Baton Rouge. Terri, Tom and Kay went up to Arkansas. Everyone is now anxious to get back and I just keep calling and giving them updates. Looks as if Terri and krewe come back tomorrow. Monica and Martha can get back in on Wednesday also, but the Orleans Parish krewe can not come back until Thursday or Friday. Luis, Dago's other brother stayed in New Orleans and all was fine he said. He is ready for all to come back, especially as the criminal element will get into the city and is now worried about everyones homes. Enough hurricane news, you know that I will keep all of you up with what is going on. On to vacation stuff. Of course the most important thing was to get my hair done by Jessica today. Love Cimi, who sneaks in as she knows that it will be cool. Her hair looks great and I have to say that mine does too. Got home and sat down with Manny to fill out several on line job apps, Home Depot, Lowes, UPS and scrolled through the wanted ads. We decided to have animated discussions regarding his "I did not have a choice" time here in Orlando. Guys and their testestorone, what are you going to do with it. His biggest concern is Emily. Mine is his life. mmmm any thoughts anyone? Tomorrow we will finally enter the age of HD TV as we are finally getting Direct TV HD installed! Needless to say Dago is thrilled, he has the Football Package and now he gets to see any game he wants in HD. Gosh, I am so excited :) Cimi and I are going to go and see the new Marshalls that just opened up close to our homes. Another exciting day. I hope I can find some sunshine somewhere to keep my tan alive, but if no real sun there are always those tanning beds. If I feel that there is enough time left in the day I think I will clean out my closet, so I can make more room for Manny in his room. So at this point that is all I have planned.
