that day has come, kitten tales, and J

1 I knew the day would come when I'd be passed in seniority because, well, I just didn't want to chase the seniority list. And now that it's happened I'm filled with mixed emotions. Part of me wants to be angry for letting it slip away and now I'm left with less shifts, but a bigger part of me is happy about my choice. I didn't like how it felt to be that hungry, and that cutthroat. Don't get  me wrong, I like this job but I like feeling good about myself more. My tool, "Radical Acceptance."
2 Our little Tula is much more playful off of her pain medications. She attacks legs and ankles, chases her play mice and toys balls and is basically full of beans. Exactly like a wee kitten should be. 
3 J calls and we make our arrangements for her visit. She's here with just us for a few days in February so we want to make the most of it. What are the plans? Lots of touring about, house and foreclosure looking, dinners, hikes and yes, definitely we need to go to the spa! I'm so looking forward to hearing about her latest shenanigans! 

one is the luckiest number, prescription, and secrets

1 Tonight was supposed to be book club but I'm home with my foot up. Why you ask? Well for those of you that don't know me well, I am accident prone. Today is no exception. Sanding a coffee table in preparation for gel stain, it drops on my toe. Just one toe is hurt, and only three stitches. That's something to be grateful for.
2 There's something that always makes a trip to the clinic for stitches better. Yes, ice cream and I'm pleased to say mine was a big one! Peanut buster parfait for me, little ice cream for him. Did Mr P eat mine? Yes, but not until I had my fair share!
3 We make plans for mother's day and I'm excited to be part of the fun! Lips are sealed until it's revealed.
