  • Take Control.....Then Let it Go

    Tuesday, March 11, 2008 | A Rambling story

         I have to put a stop to all this chaos in my home.  I have to demand respect, remembering that I am powerless over anyone else's behavior.  How do I do that with my teenagers? 
    I just got up in the middle of the night, and they were on the computer, with the window in their bedroom wide open, the t.v. in the playroom left on, had taken my cell phone out...

  • Are my in-law really moving out?

    Friday, September 19, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Oh no, they are just threatening to move out. They think they are wanted here. Because Steve hasn't told them otherwise. I blame Steve completely. He refuses to ask them straight out to leave by the 1st of next month. They are "looking for places" which means they will look at their leisure and when it's convenient for them they'll move out. I'm guessing that would be in...

  • The Trip...

    Monday, October 13, 2008 | A Rambling story

    My mini vacation was a wonderful experience.. There were a few minor set backs but I handled them quite well I must say..Alvin works for Komatsu so they paid for him and I and other Komatsu employees and their customers to fly out to two Komatsu sites and then to the Grand Old Opry.
    We left Salt Lake City, Ut airport at about 830 am. We landed in Mineapolis, Mn at what time I am not sure. Had a li...

  • Spending rollercoaster....

    Friday, November 21, 2008 | A Rambling story

         Nothing to report that would seem odd to the non-bipolar eye. But I think people here would relate. As I have mentioned earlier, our bathroom has been getting renovated.  I am so excited. I have so many ideas on how it will look. Ocean/spa feel to it. The walls are a dark spice color. tile floor is beige gloss. Antique style pedistool  sink & toile...

  • The Mirror

    Sunday, November 23, 2008


    Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and really looked at yourself? I don't mean the times you spend there putting on your makeup, doing your hair, or brushing your teeth. I mean the times when you looked at every wrinkle, every enlarged pore, the blue, black bags under your eyes, the little bit of turkey neck that wasn't there yesterday, and the grey slowly creeping into your hair.

  • Saturday nite at the bookstore

    Saturday, December 6, 2008 | A Rambling story

    Here I am on a Sat. nite writing in this journal at the bookstore that has WiFi.
    I went to an AA meeting last night and this Morning. I read some recovery stuff and spent some time with former sponsors who are good friends. After a week of just working and going home, I needed to connect with others and hear again the message of hope that are spoken in meetings. I saw my therapist on Thursday. I r...

  • A brighter day on the Horizon?

    Saturday, February 28, 2009 | A Rambling story

         Ok, so where do I start.... Wednesday sounds like a good starting point, 2/25/09.  I went to a "job site visit" at a large job I have been looking to win the "bid" of working on.  Got there to meet with the big wigs, only to park and find myself with a flat tire. A little disappointing, but not the end of the world. Not as it would have been ...
