Life "CRAP"

Oh Yeah, Life "CRAP" is the only way to put it... My reasons for not being a good blogger THIS time! :-)

#1. Lots of stressful changes at work, to the point where people were demoted and escorted out of the facility. Others left for other jobs with no notice. 2 from my office giving notice that they are retiring sooner than expected, and now the one that just got a promotion to my office is looking to get promoted OUT and that leaves me all alone by myself in the office that is (when fully staffed) is at 6 employees. I will drown and that is not a joke! On top of all that a vacation in November that I have been planning for months will probably get canceled because of all the people leaving and the office not being staffed... someone has to do at lease SOME of the work! Good thing this isn't a choral trip or I would really be pissed!!! (Like I'm not anyway :-(  GGGRRR!)

#2. My Chorus "fun" stress... we are having a show on October 23rd, just preparing, selling ads for the program, tickets, learning the show script and songs, and trying to learn 3 new songs with the quartet.There is so much work that goes into a "show" and it is all over in about 2 hours on "show" night.

#3. Family "Happy/fun" stress... my brother is getting married on October 10th and I am singing in the wedding... I just found out they want TWO (yes 2) songs at 2 different times.  I'm trying to help the bride get organized and stuff done because my brother LOVED the way I put MY wedding together... UGH. Oh, and we are moving her from Harrisburg to Mansfield where he lives THIS Weekend! That in itself will be a feat... Harrisburg is 3 hours away!

#4. Family "happy" stress... I got a new baby... I adopted another kitty! she is 2 months old and boy is she a trip. the 2 older cats don't care for her much but they are getting used to her... slowly. She on the other hand, if she doesn't want to eat, she is scurrying around right under your feet, OR sleeping as close to, if not ON your belly! I forgot what it was like to try and train a kitten what she can or should not climb on!

#5 Family "really Crappy" stress... My sister that I visited in Ohio has moved to Atlanta, GA. and one of her cats, she had 3, when moved from Ohio to Atlanta... had heart failure and died Wednesday night/early Thursday morning! As much as they are animals, they become our children and my sister sometimes has depression issues anyway... She is a mess and they have only been in their new house 4 days. Already a $5000 vet hospital bill and no energy to "move in".

Ok, I'm done with my post of life crap! I was returning an e-mail to our LB buddy BG from work (Oh and btw, THANKS Everyone!!!  for not posting, and for commenting on my few, as I was the wonderful winner of the SWA challenge, hehehe! BG assures me that my winnings (thong) will be arriving shortly) for support and said I should just send this to my home e-mail and then post it as my reason for being out of touch lately, huh? Well here it is. I was supposed to get a fill yesterday, but had lost another 3 pounds so he was ok with not filling again, however, he said let's get you back in 3 weeks and put a smidgen in to maybe "bump up" the numbers for next time. I'm down 54 total pounds now and I am losing inches because of the ZUMBA classes at the gym. I am happy! ;-) Altho' I have started to become hungry between meals, to the point where I eat to fast when I do eat, things get stuck or I swallow air and I end up then having to go the bathroom and slime or actually throw up.  So I'm guessing that a fill in 3 weeks will be needed.

So there you have it... My Life "CRAP"! It really is the only way to put it!
