Been a long time since I posted, it seems. With my aunt's blog, I'm learning more about Wordpress & how it works, in addition to editing skills. Best part is actually reading the stuff, which is not...

FINALLY started to publish my aunt's writings.  Blog looks good & I'm getting a good feel as to where to break up the stories.  I emailed her friends & our family (2 separate emails), announcing...

I’ve had it, had it, had it, had it with her & her belittling ways. None of my friends, none of my acquaintances, even none of any strangers I’ve encountered have spoken to me the way she...

My friend wanted to get together last night because she was stressed out, so we went walking at the track behind City Hall.We must have walked at least 3 miles at a good clip. But on a social level,...

Well, I've been feeling as though I've been "letting things go", like exercise & the like.  So I've got to get back into "business before pleasure" mode.  But I still won't neglect me!  I just...

Have been kind of wallowing in self-pity lately, till I looked at my last journal entry & realized the good things that have happened since. Had the PPT & I did not end up in tears at the end! We...

Had a PPT scheduled for the day after Memorial Day. And in spite of writing it down everywhere, including putting it into my iPhone (and letting my boss know that I’d be in late), I COMPLETELY...

Things are going relatively OK, but today I'm just annoyed.  Maybe because it's "that time" or maybe it's because I'm surrounded by idiots...(or both).  Whatever!  as my son says.Speaking of whom,...

Been really busy at work, so I’ve hardly had any time to update. My son actually got a GPA higher than 2.0 for 3rd quarter—including a B- in Geometry! However, he’s failing English (again)....

Got our Federal Tax Refund back today (finally) & it’s nearly $1K more than originally calculated! They say I made a mistake & that this is the corrected amount. Who am I to argue with the Federal...

I'm coming down with something today.  Or shall I say I have something.  Feel lousy.  Maybe I'll go home.  We'll see.

Well, my son has been a mixed bag about getting to school on time. Today he was not, but he has had a few good runs lately. He told me last night that he’s gotten a few 100’s on some tests &...

On Friday, my boss gave me 2 free tickets to see Elton John at Madison Square Garden! (He got them for free, too & he had just seen him a few nights before.) So last night, my husband & I took the...

My son is a miserable person. I try reaching out & he pushes me away. He's failing 2 remedial classes, including English (again). I don't want to deal with this anymore.

Things are very, very quiet at work right now. All but 3 other people are at off-site meetings, appointments or vacation. I was able to get the bulk of my work done, so it’s nice to have a quiet...
