it's almost 1am easter morning. i, well we, rescued carl's stolen phone. i had to buy it back for the $150 the guy had paid a "friend" for it. He didn't know it was stolen, was a great guy for meeting us, but we did have to pay the money. did the deal at a phillips 66 gas station. us 50 something women are likely to do just about anything. ann and i make a great team! thief had deleted all carl's stuff, put in his own, making it seem like the phone belonged to his cousin who needed to sell it. whatever. carl's happy to have it back! he just got back from the camping trip with his kids, all went great. 16 students, 5 chaperons. went to Burrell;s ford on the Chatooga river. had to hike it with back packs. one kids didn't bring a long sleeve shirt, much less a jacket. it got cold in the mountains! fortunately carl had brought along extras.
well, getting tired, will be heading to bed. spunk was a great dog on the trip, per carl. he said those obedience classes def made a difference.

ok so not so mad 2day
kinda ordinary day today. except a new patient showed up 25 minutes last with no paperwork, so that sucked. r/s her, then the 4:30 doesn't show, cud have seen her after all. his car broke down, not his fault, and i just took the time to try and sort out the junk from my desk files. also ordered edible arrangement for my baby sis, who's turning 50! and for mom for Easter. spending money instead of making it. cud that be why i'm always broke? actually will be able to deposit a paycheck tomorrow. that leaves 3 still be held hostage.
my van sounded kinda weird today, and vibrated a bit differently. am truly hoping to get another year out of it. we just can't afford a car payment. but idk, may need to think about it. would have to be dirt cheap; last time i checked we couldn't get a loan from anyone due to credit rating. sigh.
at home alone. well with bear and rosie. hubby carl on camping trip with his AP Environmental kids in the mountains. home late 2morrow. got home in time to watch fringe, yay. my fav shows are house, bones, glee, and fringe. i like raising hope too but doesn't make me want to see it on purpose. i wanted to read after fringe, but my kindle is dead. i hope its not DEAD. Abby did spill water on it in the car yesterday, but I had hoped it was ok, was ably to read it last night. kinda need a new kindle, def need a new battery. my thumbs esp L won't let me read regular books without consequence anymore. i never do hardbacks. may try a paperbook shortly. prob play some scrabble or crosswords first.
yesterday on facebook, friend Lillian said to list 10 things we were grateful for, and that helped. i used to do that nightly for awhile. think i only did 5 things tho.
will be helping suzie with her mom tomorrow and hopefully getting a beer with ann later. carl not back until late.
ta ta for now, dear blog.

just feeling mad
i just feel mad about everything so thought i'd try and help my freakin' elevated bp out by letting some words fly. don't even no where to start, but as i tell my patients, start anywhere, say anything, no editing. so there, the good doc must take her own advice.
i just can't believe that americans would rather cut off vital services and valuable educational resources than have the top 2% of americans pay more taxes. i can't believe we didn't reinstate the estate tax. IT ONLY AFFECTS COUPLES WHO MAKE MORE THAT $250,000 PER YEAR. let's face it folks...that is NOT the VAST majority of us, myself most definately included. in fact i am a lucky small business owner who has not received a paycheck the last four friggning pay periods. i work my butt off, and everyone gets paid but me. well, by wonderful bookkeeper frequently has to hold hers, as well as one of my long term massage therapists, also a wonderful person. sometimes others when we just don't have it. i am sick and tired of being broke and broker. yet i am so lucky at the same time. my husband has a steady mostly safe job as a teacher. so we have health insurance. if hubby lost/changed jobs, my daughter and I would be SOL. with my damn lupus and ra and her type 1, no insurance would cover us if the insensitive egomaniacal republicans get their way and gut the health insurance reform. my daughter would die without her meds and i would be unable to work and be in horrid pain. yeah, that's the american way. survival of the richest.
am also pissed off because my mouth hurts, i have a toothache, my knees hurt, my feet are swollen, and i want to punch someone. can't get my aggression out with sports like i used to be able to. i guess i'm gonna have to cuss here cause i can barely cuss in this southern baptist polite women environment. goddammit anyways. fuck 'em. take a flying leap at the moon.
eat shit and die. haha when i first moved here, i actually said that to a woman in a parking lot at the bank when she tried to give me a hard time about having my dogs in my car. omg the look on her face was priceless! don't fuck with me, i've lived in new york y'all wimpy motherfuckers. scared of words for crying out loud. they are just words. words. ah well. i have to admit the weather most of the year is awesome, and the honeysuckle smells so sweet as i come into the house this day in april while my poor compadres across the states are dealing with various unpleasant weather situations. now, july and august are truly miserable. i used to be totally heat tolerant. i could walk in middle of july day, 100 degrees, 99% humidity. and my dear friend judy walked with me, bless her heart. i could play tennis no matter the heat. well that all changed with the goddamn lupus. now i have practically nil heat tolerance, a/c is my dear dear friend. i just didn't understand why some of my patients would go to england or ireland or alaska or some other cold places in the summer instead of to the beach, only a couple hours from us here. now i do. i can't be in the sun anymore. truly sucks. i loved being outside, all day long, in and out of water, whatever. tanned very easily, never burned except one horrid time after the beach in South Africa. apparently ozone not so great there, either, got terrible burn. got more empathy for people with sunburn and also less for those who just are so stupid to keep getting sunburn. yes, virginia, tomato is a skin color.
well this may be long enough for a start. hmm, anything else i want to bemoan right now? money. politics. religion. stupidity. guess i've hit the main issues.
anyway, fuck you if you cant take it. am tired of being so nice all the goddamn time. time for my inner bitch goddess to come back out. has been hiding since the south and especially since parenthood. no kids in the home, we survived!! yay us. 30 year anniversary coming up in june, have the most wonderful hubby in the world and we;re heading to Islamorada/Fl keys to sm little famiy owned hotel we've gone to over the years, especially pre-kids. wait i better change my blog name def need anonymity.
ciao for now, friends and foes.
