*sigh* I wish I could post more often. It's me. It sometimes seems like I have nothing to say! lol! I have been SO tired this weekend and I was not feeling well last night. So I called in sick from the bookstore. My allergies are running rampant and my back is killing me for some reason. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with an achey back.
Now I feel like I am whining!
On a happier note, we broke down a bought a new car. A Toyota Corolla. She is a dark grey with a lighter grey interior. We name all of our cars. I really like Carmen Corolla, but it seems like she should be red with that name! lol!
Happy Sunday my friends!

The Four Agreements
By Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Jose Ruiz
1. Be impeccable with your word: speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the truth and love.
2. Don’t take anything personally: nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dreams. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don’t make assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always do your best: your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
Some things to think about, huh?
Anyway, I have been away for a couple of reasons. Boredom, depression, but mostly because I was sick. Very sick. The first week end in February. I had a 102.7 fever, coughing and runny nose. General misery. Was able to get into the doctor on that Monday and she kept me home from work until Wednesday.
I am now able to get through most of the day without coughing much.
The other is mostly because, it seems once we start to get ahead and see a pinprick of light, somethinh happens to put us a few steps behind. This too shall pass.
Please note though, I have been keeping up with you all! Thank heavens for google readr!!

What a day!
The past 12 hours have not been the best. Fell asleep on the couch, as usual. Woke up at 1 am with DH saying that Chloe has been up chucking. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad gas and diahrrea to boot. So I made a 2:30 am trip to Walgreens for some popsicles, Gaterade and Pepto Bismal. Gave her a PB tablet. After about a 1/2 how it started to help. Still yacking and dry heaving. Must more graphic but I will spare you the details.
So I was up from 1-4:3o am. DH up off and on. We all finally got to sleep around 4:3o only to have the alarm go off at 6 am. Thanks heavens I had a 1/2 day. Stopped at a vet's office my frined takes her puppers to and made an appointment. Probably just a case of the stomach flu. Got some meds for her, new dog food and doggie "good bacteria" to get her on the straight and narrow.
Weight loss food, new kind, she can eat more actually and lose weight. YAY for her!Ends up she has bateria andyeast in her ears so they treated that and cleaned 'em out REAL good and she back next Friday for follow up on her ears.
We ALL are tired, she stinks, like most do when they have been sick. Resting comfortably now and she has perked up quite a bit.
Like I said what a day!
ps: 2 new books for my birthday!! Treat to myself: Amy Karol's Bend the Rules Sewing and The APron Book, by EllynAnne Geisel.
