Much about nothing

There has been alot and nothing on all at the same time.

I guess the biggest wow thing is that i joined a gym last week. I can tell you i now know i have muscles in my body that i didn't know existed! Goal for this was to tone up and loose weight. Other goal was to get out of the house a bit and possibly meet people. So far.. its a quiet quiet world out there. One good thing is that its an all woman's club. Yup.. no guys.. not even instructors! It's nice. There are also women of all sorts of sizes, shapes and levels of fitness. So i don't feel so out of place so to speak. I left the place yesterday and today and called my daddy. I told him i felt gross and icky and that i was shaking like he just used me good and hard. He laughed and said to get some water in me and that it would go away. It did - eventually. I'll tell ya what though - i slept good and HARD last night. First time in weeks!!!

My daddy's oldest had her brain surgery Wednesday of last week. The first few days were a bit scary for me. I don't like hospitals and much less ICU departments. My father had an operation and was in ICU and died there. Still freaks me out when i hear of anyone going into that unit. I always think OMG their not coming out!! But she is out and doing well. She still is having issues with her right leg. At first she could not feel it, then she could wiggle her toes, then feel it a bit. Now its up to she can feel it but not put any weight on it. She will have to go to phiso but the surgeon is not concerned over it. On whole the surgery went very well. Now its time for recovery. We went down to see her when she was suppose to have it in June. Both of us used up all of the vacation time we had to be with her. Ends up her insurance would not cover it at that time so it got bumped. Bad we're not there this time but it is very good to hear she's doing well.

Im looking to trade away my VW Cabrio. The parts for that car are just simply too expensive. Presently i've spotted a 1999 GMC Tracker. I had a tracker before the cabrio. The only reason i have the cabrio is that after nearly 400,000 km on it it finally died. Aparently the newer trackers have used the same company for the engine. I have to see if 1. my mechanic can look at the vechile for me and 2. if they will take the cabrio on even or better trade. I paid 10K for it about a year and a half ago. To be honest i'd take an even trade for it! This tracker is sitting at 4800.00. So.... we'll see.

Umm.. lets see..
Both my children graduated schools this year. My oldest high school. My youngest grade school. Both were very nice ceremonies and i am proud of each of them!

I'm also looking for another job. I have to call one company tomorrow and i'm still out applying to see if anything else pops up. Why look some of you may ask. Well.. its coming to the 4 week mark and my boss is sure as hell going to bring up something to say i'm not doing my job again. It's tradition with her! Or at least it has been for the past 5 months. I have to call the company that was offering 30K for shipping and recieving. We'll see tomorrow. 30K would be a pay increase which is something else i DESPRITELY need. What they pay me now (when they actually do pay me properly) is not much more then one would recieve on the city dole!

I calculated that out on friday.... and then i calcualted the yearly gross .... and then i cried and cried and cried.

I left pecker head and a job that was paying me 17.00 per hour for this?! While he gets to stay in the cushy house and keep his good paying job?! But you know what.. i needed to get away from him. And dispite the struggle now... im better off because of it. So are my children.

Ok.. gotta go rinse this hair color out of my head.
