May 6.  Sigh.... I knew it in my heart, though I had to look up the day to be sure, since we delayed till last September to have the Memorial Service in Florida.  It's a year today that my Mom finally got released from the grip of Alzheimer's.  Although I know she's free now, it's still sad.  The Mother's Day ads and all are very hard... and I've ( Read more... )

Last blush of Sun's rays
Gentle reds roar
Passionate purples softly recline
Calmness of yellow orange

Clouds waft in and out
Dancing in undulating waves
Peaceful gradients of blue

Incessant buzz of traffic humming
Even fails to drown
Glorious salutations to
Early spring
Sweet cricket song

So I had a temp job Monday and Tuesday.  Stuffing envelopes... interest statements for a gas company.  Not too bad... I needed the cash, so it came at a good time.  I had a little problem with paying $10/day for parking, but that worked out.  The job, which originally was at $10/hr, ended up being raised to $11/hr to take care of the $10 I had to ( Read more... )

Wow, I've read more of these than I thought.  A great deal of them came from my high school reading lists and college classes (especially the ( Read more... )

So, I was about 2 miles from the exit for my interview this morning, when the person called me and told me her check engine light had just come on and she wouldn't be able to make the interview.  Then she says that her next available date is next week.   Evidently P3 Staffing is just that -- 3 recruiters and three support staff who work part time ( Read more... )

Well, I've made progress, of a sort.

I've written the first chapter of my book, The Rose Diaries -- Life Lessons From Thorns and Petals.  Since I've carried this around in me ever since we left Florida (5 years ago) I was concerned that it wouldn't flow well and would sound too contrived when I finally got around to writing it.  I'm fairly ( Read more... )

Is anyone having problems seeing my posts in their flists?  Nathan said he didn't see my Christmas Wish List post from 11/29 in his friends page listing... I changed it from friends to public just to see if that helped, and there was no difference.  Of course we're both friended to each other (I double checked just to be sure something hadn't gone ( Read more... )
