found some good jokes to put on here from instagram but can't figure out how to get it on here as anything but a link? wth? the picture doesn't show up at all. so odd.
you go on facebook to latest photos, when people show photos from five to ten years ago, i still recognize them and they still have that "them" about them. and then they BALLOON weightwise. every single person almost or get this fatigue look to them and its like, who are you? lol. if i ran smack into them i wouldn't know it was them. that's scary.
today i ran into someone from the office park who used to be here at least monthly, part of each year. he's another one who's hair went completely WHITE and he is around 49. that is usually illness or heart attack isn't it, or is it one of those things bound to happen? because of the wedding, even with people who appear "close" its the same scenario: haven't seen each other in YEARS. how does that happen. and that is with or without kids, doesn't make a difference at all. even d, who is 44. her pictures from five years ago is still totally her. but her pictures after that, its not. her daughter is suddenly almost as tall as she is. wth? lol. and everyone is in PAIN especially those who were in bad car wrecks. pain and surgeries. and you think to yourself, i know i know you, but this is a different you, no other way to look at it. then others are incredibly lucky and have had death around them, but they are basically healthy themself. i'm still adjusting to this. the old way, would have been making these adjustments through alumni newsletters and christmas cards. its all the same - except more of it the way it is now (which gets to be overload actually).
spent the morning pruning up the sidewalk bushes and actually ran into a wasp hive so i stopped. good thing i noticed. have a lot more to do. trying to be careful. smaller steps. smaller amounts of time. hemoglobin supplies oxygen to all parts of the body and i'm at half strength right now. at least i know what all the out of breath is.
walked to the park and the pier with two of the cats. still looking for the missing one. i asked the new neighbor (his father, visiting from the villages in ocala and the rest of the year in michigan) if he sees it to leave a note on the fence if he doesn't mind. also saw the girl that feeds on the next street. she hasn't seen it either and the black puffy one over there still has a raw nose. wonder who it fights with? she said the 15 pounder that comes by my house goes over there as well. its super friendly. the one with the black eyes seemed nervous lately and wanted to hide out in the utility room. i figured it was nervous because of the new neighbor. guess not?
finished off a commentary about anne frank which was excellent. i don't understand why her father chose to hide in holland and not switzerland when they left germany, but the book claims both were neutral countries during the first world war so i guess, how can you know what a madman is going to invade. their family had lived in germany for 300 years and her father had won an iron cross during world war one. her mother was homesick for it and in switzerland they speak german...all very sad. her father and one of her best friends from school survived, as well as the people who were feeding them. everyone else died. they also mention that of the 25,000 who went into hiding in holland, 16,000 survived the war which sounds high, when you compare it to poland or austria.

i\'m seething right now. found out our area supervisor fucked up the raises. he actually got us \"less\" than we were offered originally. wth? and his \"bitch\" over here, an old white haired man, he gave the raise to that should have gone to alllll the employees and WAS going to allllll the employees until he stuck his ass in it. wth? so its going to be done around him and possibly the whole company. that man is SICKENING. every time he is involved in anything it turns into shit. if he had left it as it was on the table when first negotiated it was fine. instead this will be a war. can\'t wait until that man is gone. if the old man has the raise on his check that should have gone to everyone else, i am firing him on the spot. i am tired of all the crap with all of this. what a total asshole. who in the world gets a DECREASE as a \"raise\". don\'t you know anything? i really don\'t think this guy can chew gum and walk. seriously.
