TRYING NOT TO BE TOO UNHAPPY ABOUT IT, OR...DAY 271

My adoption application has been approved. And Pet Pantry is apparently not closing.

WEEK 39

"I will not let thee go, except thou bless me!" (Genesis 32: 26)

Which is how I feel -- I have got too far to give up.

Hoping not to bring bad luck upon myself, I would say things are looking up, and while things are not moving as fast or as dramatically as I would like, at least they are going pretty much in the right direction.

Of course, I have to be the best, the most, the biggest, the everything, and when I see my territory being encroached on I get uneasy. And it's hard to not compare myself with other people and their progress.

A client called my follow-up "awesome."

Free burrito. And a flashlight.

Got plenty of sleep and still got some things accomplished.

THE FALL OF THE YEAR

I hope it's not the autumn of my years. No beach this year, no summer romance, but that's nothing new, at least the no-romance part. I hate to say it, but deaths, illnesses and vacations at least made it semi-profitable. Now we're entering a new school year, TV season, football season and a new Jewish year. And some years fall has been a good time for new jobs...

I missed the demonstration going to work and the shooting coming home.

Clients I didn't think would are talking about coming back.

I am grateful for light -- sunlight, moonlight, electric light, etc. You get the picture. And I am grateful that I can still perceive it.

I am also grateful that the girl I have my eye on is not pregnant.

WEEK 38

"No matter how much you care, some people are just assholes...Most everything can seem humorous...eventually"

From http://www.youmightbe.com/pages/nurse.html

A much more rewarding week financially, Thank G-d. Mom sez the Pennsylvania relatives are seeing me in a new light – they think I’m FUN. I never cared much about being fun, it was more important to be seen by them as successful, they way they do G – he farts and the family has orgasms.Maybe to some people being fun is more important than how much money you earn, or how many people see/hear you on the radio/TV.

The economy may get better soon, both personally and nationally.

Traffic was pretty good.

My car passed inspection. I swear the inspector guy musta been blind, but I wasn't gonna say "hey, what about that big crack on my bumper? At least I won't have to go through this for another two years again.

My baby pig will have hay, pellets and bedding for the next several weeks, if not months.

Adoption proceedings on the new baby are moving as planned.

WEEK 37

A most unrewarding week financially, especially considering I took off almost a whole week last month. At least I got some rest, however, and next week promises to be much fuller.

This time of year seems to bring surprises – seven years ago it was September 11th, six years ago it was the sniper shootings, five years ago it was the robbery, and four years ago my father died.

Three years ago it was Hurricane Katrina, which really didn’t have much effect on me personally, other than emotionally. Two years ago I was in massage school. Last year my beloved big pig was starting to get sick and I had to deal with the refinancing mess. Let’s hope this fall goes better.

Got a late-night surprise. And my baby pig had a good vet visit.

The renovation in our building won't last forever.

I got some extra sleep.

A guy in Manassas drowned in a septic tank. How embarrassing. Mom told me about this crazy nun in the psyche ward who kept trying to drown herself by sticking her head in the toilet.

The staff had to constantly keep pulling her out. Mom sez the nun constantly smelled like toilet. So I guess I should be grateful none of my clients smell like toilet. And that I don't have to pull them out.

I finished my last reflexology class.

Tropical Storm Hanna didn't do too much damage here.

WEEK 36

Summer is unofficially over, yet I prefer to think it’s actually on the last calendar day of summer, which is about two weeks from now. And that summer really begins on Memorial Day weekend, a month before the calendar says so. Anything to stretch out a good thing.
