This has been an exhausting day - and I have made little progress. But, I have made some and under my physical circumstances, that's a miracle. But now, I am finished for the day. I cannot do anymore, and once again all of the responsibility falls onto Mark. And my kids, tomorrow.
I did take a little while today and went and visited Richard in the hospital. He looked surprisingly good, but is still in alot of pain. Holy crap, his incision is huge and it looks really, really bad. His attitude is wonderful and he is quite the trooper, more worried about my mom than himself.
The poor kitties and CrazyDog are all upset and nervous...the kitties really should know the moving drill by now, heaven knows they have moved many times when they belonged to Janelle. CrazyDog however, is not sure what is going on, this is the only place she has ever known. We moved into this house when she was just a puppy, and apartment living is going to be quite an adjustment, for her, and for us. I can see it now, walking her in the middle of the night, that will be quite fun...
I hope you all have had a wonderful day. Have a great weekend. :)

Wonderful Wednesday
Today is the day....today is the day that I have been dreading since I started this new job, and trust me, I have good reason. It will be a complete and total zoo, and I this zookeeper is already on her last leg. However, this being a sales driven business, money will be available to be made...and considering that I signed my LIFE away on that apartment yesterday, I had better make some serious money. Holy crap, apartments are a big business these days, aren't they? But oh, I am SO excited to get moved. Funny, I liked the apartment better yesterday than I had initially, perhaps due to having looked at many that were way under my standards? Things are really looking good - exciting even, except for the fact that I cannot physically do this job of mine. I am already ready to drop----literally, and this is only Wednesday. It was well after eight last night before I got out of there, and I have to be back in before eight this morning....and tonight? Hell, with what's coming today, I will be lucky to be out of there by midnight. Seriously. And then, there are no more rooms at the inn...so it will be all the way back home for me tonight. (Thanks pork producers!)
Thank you all for your good wishes for my family yesterday. Both surgeries went well, my poor sis is home, left to recuperate and commiserate alone for the next ten days or so. She has requested nice comments and good wishes here on my page - you guys will help her out, won't you? She is so funny -I do believe she is looking for a little sympathy, her husband is a great guy, but sympathy and patience for those that are sick or ailing is a little too much for him. Richard - my step dad, is also doing well, although his recovery time will be quite a long time, up to ten days in the hospital, then four long weeks at home gaining his strength back. However, I feel much better today about all of it, his dr seems to think that he will be fine, and while they are waiting for the pathology reports of course, he seems to think there will be no reason for chemo or radiation. That was wonderful news.
You all do your best to have a wonderful Wednesday, okay? I will do the same....Happy Humpday!

Stormy Tuesday
Have you ever sat and watched an awesome storm from the top floor of a hotel? I hadn't, until now. It's really pretty cool to see, other than the fact that my room is getting wet because I cannot get the (non) sliding door to close all the way. It figures, since it took a Herculean effort to get the damned thing open. So.....just to catch you all up on my life...
We got the apartment. I am really excited about it, very happy, but now I have to MOVE, and that's wonderful, I am READY. Except I'm not, because I have exactly zero boxes packed. And we are moving this weekend. I have to laugh at this or I would cry...When will I have the time to pack? Beats the hell out of me, Lieutenant. I won't even be home again until tomorrow night, and that is only due to a lack of rooms in the whole city of Des Moines, (thanks pork producers). But I am happy to have gotten this place to live, at least I think I am, because it's been a while and a million apartments later, I'm not sure I remember what it looks like. I do remember the kitchen area is small but a part of the whole living room...the floors were light wood, a cheesy fireplace stuck into the wall...an awesome but freaky balcony----sort of just suspended there in the side of the brick wall, made of wire like a cage, you can see all the way to the parking lot below through the floor. Two good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, California brand storage and closets throughout....but it's basically kind of plain. What you pay for living there is the area, the community, the security, etc. Once home, you wouldn't have to leave your place, it's all right there, from grocery store to dinner clubs to cleaners and shops, the gym....a fun place to be, I'll bet and that excites me. Something to DO, something to SEE, for the first time in years and years. Now, I just have to GET there.
The job is still crap. It was better yesterday, my District Manager was there and she helped clear up a few things for me. However, the day was 12 hours long. It was eight to eight. Yes, I had to do that two days a week at the dealership, too, but not every night. I cannot, WILL NOT work 65 plus hours a week anymore. I am too old, too tired, too not healthy enough any longer. I want to have time to do something else, as well as work. So, I have no idea where that leaves me, but I'll get it figured out.
Today is my step-dad Richards surgery. Today is also my sister Trav's surgery. Same day, same time, different places. Please say a prayer for the both of them. Richards's is for cancer of the colon, my sister's is for some female problems she has had for a long time. I feel terrible that I am not able to be with her, or my mother. My poor mom pretty much has to face this alone, and that makes me sad. Especially when I can't be there because of a job that I don't even intend to keep. But right now, this is all I can do. It is what it is, I guess.
You all have a great day, today. It is the calm before the storm for me, tomorrow is the Open House that we are having at the center, and that my friends , will be a zoo. Happy Tuesday.
