    Aunt Maye it was good to see your post. It reminded me of my own self blowing up because my doc was late one morning and I was left waiting in the room forever. He explained to me that they held him up at the hospitals, (there are 3 in the area) and he got there asap. I apologized and I will never say anything again if he is late, but that day I was so upset that I just had to say something. I have worked for different doctor's offices and I know they allow 15 minute intervals for appts. They are on a tight schedule, but if they are slow it would put them way behind. I feel for you.

    Due to my type of managed care insurance plan I cannot cancel the Statin med. The nurse called yesterday and told me that if I did send it back that my insurance company could and would withhold all of my Rx's, (I'm also taking Lisinopril) in the future. They have been cracking down on patients and my PCP is not a pill pusher, in fact he took me off a med when I first saw him in 2013. I love that about him. So, they can mail me that pill all they want, but I'm still not taking it. I have heard horror stories about that med.

    Yesterday was gorgeous and I transplanted some Pink Baby's Breath, weeded the garden a bit, got some sun on my face and just enjoyed being out there for awhile. Last year I had only one Cleome plant that came up from the whole packet of seeds I sowed. It gave forth hundreds of seeds and I collected most of them and just threw some of them down all over the place. So, 3 of those seeds I threw down are now going to seed and they bloomed all winter and gave me such joy and all those seeds I dropped are coming up and I'm going to have the beautiful pink Cleome plants all around the yard. I will transplant some of those tiny seedlings onto the bank today. Oh, won't it be a pretty sea of pink along that bank?

    We have a window guy coming today to give us an estimate. None of our windows are double paned, they are old, worn out, and leaking moisture around them and it's causing mold. It's only 4 windows that need replaced, but depending on what kind of deal he offers we may do the big one in the living room. It faces the sunrise and is blue blazin' hot in summer.

    DH started walking yesterday around the Cul De Sac. Starting out small. He says he is going to the fitness room and start working out to regain muscle strength. Good for him!

    Today is DH's birthday and we will go to lunch. I took us to lunch yesterday, but our waitress gave us water and then just forgot us. We had to finally get up and leave and I told the other waitress why we were leaving. That upset me and it took me awhile to get over it. How do they stay in business? And the hostess was so lame. We greeted her before she greeted us, and she spoke so low and so s l o w. It was the new Piesano's and we will never go back there. That was our 3rd time to visit. The first time was wonderful, the 2nd time was not very good, and yesterday was terrible. They will not stay in business long if that is what they are about. The last pizza place that occupied that building was awful too. On the way home we noticed that all along the main highway they are getting ready to build more strip malls, shopping centers, etc. I told dh many months ago that in 10 years that whole area will be commercialized. The thing is they have one already built since last summer and it is still empty. Prettiest little strip shopping center you ever saw, but not one shop open for business.

    Maybe we will go to the park and see all the Camellia's and Azalea's in bloom. I'll be back later to read what you wrote. Peace & Plenty.

    Morning I am awake and in tears!I don’t know what do! I got a very hateful text from my I worker that I share a station with. Basically begrading me calling in today. I didn’t call in today. I told Chef exactly what the np told me and that if I wasn’t better today I needed to stay home. He asked me to let him know this morning. I am going to work. So I guess chef asked her boyfriend to come at 9 not my fault I didn’t call in today! Now he has to work 6 days. Again not my problem. Telling me I would be better off in a different spot. She needs some one faster that can help her more. She said I would be better serving main line and helping in the dining room. SHE WANTS ME TO GIVE UP MY SPOT!!! I don’t think so!!!! I am not judging the people that do that but they are much slower. There issues are much worse than mine...Chef loves me in this position or I think he did! I hate being bullied! I can't Frieking help that her dad died! I can’t help that it’s been a crazy week. I don’t frieking ask her to do much on my side of the station. Yes we both have a lot to do. I always always always do my stuff the quickest I can so I can help her. There are certain things I have to do on my own side every day! Usually I allow her first lunch. If not she gets pissy so it’s easier to let her go first. Most of the time I could care less.

    I almost don’t want to say a word to chef about this because of the trouble it’s gonna cause with my co workers...They are going to side with her.

    I am going to be ready to leave my house at 730 and get a lyft ride to the office of my job coach and other people that will help me sort this out. They will help me out. I trust them.

    Please pray for me. I don’t want to open a can of worms with anyone. Especially Angie because her boyfriend is in a higher up position. I have cried myself into another migraine. ☹️

      Definitely have that talk with your job coach because 'Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination'. Which means if you don't talk it out and work it out it is gonna keep on piling up and festering. I bet it would be a better idea for her to change her station if she does not value you or your work performance, but when it comes down to it your boss is the only one you need to be concerned about. It does not sound as if she is mature enough to value a truly good coworker.

      . Good morning, dear Rounders. ☕️

      Yesterday I didn’t see a speck of rain, though while E was out and about he said there was a light sprinkle for a short time. Rain is still forecasted today, and we are still under a “flood watch”....but I am positive it won’t be nearby.
      Also yesterday E brought home a box of See’s chocolates and a gorgeous bouquet of yellow roses with a yellow lily in the center. It really brightens up the room. With the crowd of Valentine’s Day shoppers doing last minute shopping, I think it took him a good 3 hours to get back.

      Karlinann, and Aunt Maye, I seldom complain about waiting time at the doctor’s any more. When I first got sick and they hadn’t yet come to understand the problems that developed, my doctor easily spent 1 or 1/2 hours at my appointments. When my mind cleared up, I wondered about the patients who were behind me. She spent all the time I really needed with her. Later as I was successfully, if not slowly, healing .... one day I was late being called in. E got antsy waiting. I explained the time she had spent with me, and imagined that someone else now needed that kind of time with her. I was so close to death, and they didn’t know why I was still alive. I remember young interns in the ER would look at my records and get excited, saying “You are HER! The Miracle Lady! We are studying you in our medical classes! Can I bring in some other students to meet you?” My name was never used in the classes, just my “case number”.
      So, if my doctor spent a lot of time with me, I can’t complain about others who might need the same kind of attention. Your yard sounds very pretty with the flowers.

      I need to look them up to see what exactly they are. But springtime is hitting you, apparently. I am waiting to see the wildflowers here. So far, our neighborhood is abundant with weeds that need to be removed.

      Beth, you cannot control those migraines. You didn’t give your station partner any grief over her absence from work, and in all fairness she should try to respect your problems as well. I hope your chef and other helpers will settle the manner with very little fuss. Good luck with today.

      Surely someone is typing/posting with me by now. I had a couple of interruptions. Now I need to get my breakfast and morning meds, then start dealing with today.

      i hope you all have a great day! ☀️

        Good Morning! The sun was shining just 5 minutes ago, and now it's pouring rain.

        Yesterday was good. I worked on little areas and got things done. Now nobody else will notice, but I know, & feel better about it. The only project I didn't get done was peeling the apples. First project on my list today. Made soup for supper & boy did that mess up the kitchen. After dinner I sat down & fell asleep. Just got up to start cleaning up the kitchen, and my cousin stopped in...earlier than planned. Oh well. She was picking up the cookies she ordered for her son's wedding. We had a nice long chat.

        Oh, the VD party at school went really well. The kids LOVED all the cookies & strawberries. I took in containers for them to put their leftover cookies in to take home. While waiting to go back to the classroom, I saw the school counselor. I was sitting on a bench down the hall all by myself, so our chat was private. She's been talking to Blaise. He was tested again for reading, and he has a 7th grade level. His grades are in the toilet. He has a good heart, loves to joke around and make people laugh, and is smart...BUT he's not choosing to show his smartness. He doesn't believe he's smart. Actually quite the opposite. I told her we don't call him dumb at home. We had a nice impromptu chat.

        No real plans for today so far except the apple peeling and taking Blaise to karate. Oh there is something that can always be cleaned....like Blaise's room.

        Sorry about the drama Bethina. It's a good idea to go to your job coach. Karlinann...I don't know what those flowers look like...will have to look them up.

        Have a good one all!

          Oh, Beth, I am so sorry about all this. You are doing the right thing to talk to your coach and then just go in and do the great job you always do. You like your position and you stay there as long as you and the chef agree. Chef can see how you work and that is the main thing. To me, at least.

          Maye, cantaloupe also is very high in potassium. More than bananas! Just not in season right now, but keep it in mind.

          Karlinann, I have sunscreens on my windows that face the SW. They are a thicker, darker screen and do cut the heat. I have double paned windows. A friend got triple paned windows! Cost a fortune but I think if I ever replace the big window in the daycare I will see about doing it in triple pane. And before I finally quit daycare. My deductions will drop significantly when that happens.

          It was so good to see comments from you, Jostoy! I agree with you on the fast food, too. If there is something that makes life go a little easier, then I say do it. My favorite fast foods are not in Red Bluff anymore. And I rarely go to them even when I am out of town because after shopping I am just ready to go home. Or to the fish and chips restaurant because we don't have one of those anymore, either.

          At my nail appointment last evening the other stylist was telling me her power was off for 33 hours! They had to go through 2 nights! And they were pretty much surrounded by water so stuck there. When the water went down enough for their truck to drive they
          did go get food. Some people will be without power until tomorrow!

          Ok, I better get going. I really don't have a thought as to what I am serving these guys today. Probably a choice of all the leftovers. That way everyone should have something they want...
          Yesterday I made the muffins from the pancake mix. Added the strawberry applesauce (pink) and a few drops more of food coloring and called them Valentine Day breakfast cupcakes. Oh, did they go after them! No one even asked where the frosting was. I did have whipped cream ready if they did. I got to mark them as pancakes in my food menu so all was good!
          Thanks again, karlinann, for that easy, yummy recipe.

          Beth, I hope your day is well on its way and doing well.
          JoG, that child and every one like her is why I have food ready to eat whenever someone gets here or says they are hungry or Mom was out of milk...
          Rounders, hope you have a good day and just let the negative stuff roll off!

            Karlinann, I just looked up the Cleome’s, and oh boy are they gorgeous! And beneficial to good insects...and boy do we need to save the bees. I haven’t seen a bee in 3 years here. I wonder where the honey crop manages. Better yet, established plants are drought tolerant, and I wonder how they would do here? I think I like the Cherry Queen plant the best.

              Good morning..gloomy day here and suppose to snow. Yesterday the temps were in the 60s and the sun was so bright. Today snow, gloom and temps in the 20s. Such a long winter!!!!

              Overslept this morning. Woke up cold and when I warmed up slept like a baby! Then the neighbor let out that mutt of hers and he barks and barks and barks and everyone is complaining but not to her. She is a nice lady and this is a rescue dog and that is nice but darn, we need to be rescued from that constant barking!! It is only out when she is home and she is seldom home but does she know how annoying it is? The dog must be miserable to complain like that all the time it is out.

              Again the worry of fixing a meal. Jon is off today so I will dump it on him which reminds me Andrew has noon dismissal today so I will have to get dressed before noon. Yesterday when I told Drew it was a McD's night he ask if it could be a Taco Bell night and I sure don't care what fast food we eat as long as I don't have to go get it..ya know? But...we need to eat earlier when it is a Taco Bell night...had a bit of indigestion. Had to sit up to watch the hockey game. AND the Blues won again. I do love watching them win because I sure did not enjoy watching them lose!

              I have nothing from here. Andrew came in with a small box of candy and when i ask who gave that to him he said he didn't know cuz it hit him the head. Such romance! But I gotta tell you he is a cutie! That ornery grin must be melting more hearts than mine.

              Cookie, I think...my opinion of course, is that Blaise will use his brains when it suits him. You can't take smart from a kid. He is still learning because when you are that bright things soak in. But glad you were able to have a casual talk with the counselor. Beth such drama at work. Maybe it won't seem as bad when you are feeling better. Happy you have a job advisor to talk with. Jo, we used to have See's candy around here but have not seen it in a long time. Your E is a Peach! Karlinann, a walk among the blooming flowers...you lucky dog. We are waiting for the snow to pick up again. Maye I know what you mean about waiting. Drives me crazy! But then it is nice when they spend that time with you. I am always early and hope they take me in early...however a specialist will do that more often than a PCP. I see a specialist next week and after a long drive I get testy sitting in a waiting room too. But then my patience battery is on low 99% of the time. Be nice if those waiting rooms were a bit warmer...

              I also wrote a book today...just gabby I guess. Maybe I should get out more...nah! I'll just talk your ears off. Have a wonderful day..stay warm and please hope we do not have to shovel again with more predicted for tomorrow night.
