....I bring greetings to everyone. Sorry it's been so long between my posts. Time kept flying by with work and motherhood, I'm grateful to get enough rest on most days! :) I hope everyone's been doing well. I do read your blog posts. I enjoyed them very much!!
Recent news: Survived daughter's rehearsal and recital and there's more coming up. Have informed her that make up is for performances and playing dress up at home only, so don't bother to ask to wear any to school! She's simply not old enough and I prefer she study at school instead of learning to be "America's Next Top Model" kind of things! :P
Survived daughter's 6th birthday party with 19 screaming 5-6 year olds jumping and climbing all over the bounce house place. Definitely a right decision to hold the party there because they took care of everything. At the end of helping kids up and down climbing obstacles and what not, I'm too exhausted to thinka bout cleaning up duties! She had a blast and I'm happy that she's happy!
Lost one of my older cousin recently. He fell off of his 8th floor penthouse. Not sure if he jumped or that it was an accident and no good way of asking about it. Though he never seemed the type to do something like jumping, but top floor to penthouses usually have enclosures to keep accidents from happening. Am sad and mostly hurt for my aunt who's the kindest person I know and felt her life's been so tough on her always and felt that this isn't something she deserves. We weren't especially close growing up being this far apart, but he was a good guy.
Work is going fine. I'm pretty much on track with all that I need to learn and learning what I can outside of my usual tasks from anyone that I can. It keeps me from being bored. I'm not much of an office 8 hours+ a day person. It dulls my creativity and mind. Had a slight scare from VP who walked out of the company last week. She's the glue that held the company together and the oil that greased the wheels. She came back 2 days ago and I'm so very happy! Things were slipping through cracks without her, things that I noticed no one was taking care of or thought to assign someone else to do. I always liked her (knew her before I even worked at this place) and knew that she did more than her work title around the company. Big warm welcome back to her and may she stays until retirement time!
Lost weight since mother left for her Asia trip. So nice to eat light during lunch. I do appreciate mother's great cooking, but I can't convince her that I prefer to pack my own lunch since I started working. I didn't gain any, but it's impossible to lose any with her heavy lunches. Hoping to lose enough so that I can play badmington better on the courts. I play really well, but I know I am not playing at my top form with extra poundage. So, look out fellow players! When I lost enough and return to court, I'll be first pick on women doubles during tournament time! ;)
2 more weeks of work and I get to take a week of vacation. Friend from PA coming to visit that week and wants to go fishing. Been a while, but would love to be outdoors again. Miss the trees, the grass and always loved the water. It brings peace and calmness. Joke with manager about how I may not want to come back to work after a week off and he looked a bit worried. Well, I guess I was too good at keeping a straight face doing that joke!
I think I've covered all that's out of the ordinary everyday things that's happened since I last posted. I will sign off for now and head off to bed. 6am comes around very quickly here for me! I've reluctantly hung up my night owl badge when I got this job and joined all the other day folks. :P Take care all my friends. You're in my thoughts.
