Happy Thanksgiving!

Since I know that I won't be able to write on here tomorrow, I thought that I would write on here a day early and mention what I am thankful for since I won't be able to tomorrow (oh and by the way, pictures will be included just for your enjoyment). Ok, in no particular order, the following are what I am thankful for:
Even though my mother-in-law isn't pictured with James, my parents, his father, and myself, I am truly thankful for my family (mostly my parents and my parents-in-law). They have done so much for me and I really don't know what I would do without them. Considering that I haven't seen my own parents since last summer, it's actually a good thing because it just makes me miss them even more and the fact that my mother-in-law lives here in Ithaca, has brought us closer than before.
Of course I am thankful for the love of my life. I have been with James six years and married to him for four. He by far is my first and only true love. I don't think I have ever been so happy to have him in my life as I do now. It's funny because almost eight or nine years ago, I had a dream that I met a guy that had brown hair and blue eyes and came from a family from nothing but brothers. Who knew that God was telling me something? Who knew that I was going to meet my soulmate two years after having that dream? Who knew that I was going to marry this man? I know who and that person was God. They do say that God works in mysterious ways and look, He worked this one for sure!
I should have an updated picture of my friends and myself, but this is what will do....for now. I am thankful for my friends. Some of them haven't been there, but some of them have and especially when I needed them the most. There is one particular friend that I have that I haven't spoken to in two or three years and frankly to be honest, I really think that God is trying to tell me that it's time to part with her and move on even though it will be hard, I know it will be for the best. I know that there are times that I wish I could call her or just visit her when I am home visiting my folks, but there's nothing I can do and right now, I am ready for the next step...moving forward.
Not to sound selfish or anything, but I am thankful for my health. I have yet to get sick (even though currently James is sick and I know that there's a great chance that I will get sick too) and I am so glad that I have no diseases or that I haven't missed a day of work because I am sick because I am not sick!!! I am so happy (watch, I just think that I jinxed myself; I will get sick within a couple of days).

Lastly, I am thankful for my Lord Jesus Christ. Not only is He there when I need Him the most, but He is always there for me no matter when or what day it is. He is the reason why I am the person that I am now and I feel that I am a changed person because of Him and for that I give Him the most thanks of all.
I don't think that I need to write anymore on this blog because everything that I wanted to say is already said (hope that made sense).
Well, I am falling asleep as I type so I am going to sign off.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is signing off! Enjoy your turkey, friends, and family! God bless!

What Goes Up Must Go...

Down...all the way down. When I went to work this morning, I was in the greatest of moods but now, I really don't know what mood I am in so I will let the faces make the decision for me: So, everyone! It's Monday and what a Monday it is here in Ithaca, New York. The weather is somewhat cold with a rain-snow mix going on and I bet if it gets any colder, I am sure that we would have snow overnight. Today was my first time opening the Pharmacy (meaning getting there at 9 when the Pharmacy opens instead of 11) and I thought that today was going to be a good day....until one Technician and Greg (the Pharmacist) got into it. She just didn't know how to shut up and I almost wanted to do this I know that she had her reasons why she called out so much and of course I didn't say anything about them but Greg did. In fact, he called her out on a lot of things like why she didn't follow company policy or why come back from breaks later than she was supposed to. And while he was telling her this, she looked at me and all I could say was but of course, I didn't say it out loud. Then, she got into my face by saying that I wasn't even working six months and I got two weeks vacation. It's not my fault that I got it. I asked for it so I got it plain and simple. Sometimes I wish that I could just float

away when stuff like this happens and come back down when it's all over and done with. This had nothing to do with me and yet, she decided to include me in it. When the other technician came in, she decided to talk to him instead of Greg and I and to be honest, I thought that was a bit childish of her. What did you expect me to do? Stand up for you and be on your side and say, don't worry everything will be ok; I got your back. No, I won't do that now or ever. This particular technician is a

type of person in other words, narcissistic very narcissistic and there's no changing her one bit. Ever since I have been back to this particular pharmacy, she has been saying nothing but bad things about me and because of that, I will never ever stand up for her. Sounds harsh, yes but I am one of those type of people that it takes a LONG time for me to forgive you for what you have done especially if you don't actually admit that you did it in the first place. There are times that I wish that I could blink

her gone, but I know that can't happen so I just have to suck it up and go with the flow.
Have you ever danced and felt good about doing it? As a matter of fact, have you ever just stopped and rejoiced to see what God has done for you? It's times like what I went through today that I could never . And with prayer, you would be surprised on how much it can help you. It has helped me plenty of times (counting today). I think that I am done writing in here for tonight. I still need to eat dinner and go to bed because I have to work tomorrow morning. Have a good night everyone and God bless!

Is This Meaningful?

Today is Saturday and I am off from work for the first time in two weeks and boy does it feel good. I really don't know what to write in here because Thanksgiving is next week and I will write a Thanksgiving blog so who really knows at this moment?
Sometimes I wish that I could look into a crystal ball or globe

and predict what is going to happen to me within the next day, month, or even second. Yesterday at work was bad but not as bad as it could be. I was by myself yesterday (Sean had the day off and Lori of course called out) and I was with Sandy and Nighat (the Pharmacist). I wasn't even supposed to be in until 11, but they called me in to come in an hour early. It wouldn't have been so bad if Nighat helped me instead of looking at the computer and complaining that we had so much in the fill que (which was only 30) and didn't know what to do with herself. There were times that I wanted to tell her to , but that's not really nice so all I could do is breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out and take everything in stride. I couldn't even put the drug order away and I felt bad for not being able to do that either. I do have to admit that we didn't have anything left to fill by the time we got done with everything so I was happy about that.
That was my rant about work for the week, so now onto something completely different let alone random. Do you ever wonder if mermaids exist? I know that they really don't, but then again, after watching Finding Nemo, I found out that there are so many different kinds of fishes in the oceans. Ok, I think that I need to wrap this up so I am. I will write on Thanksgiving for sure. Have a good weekend everyone and God Bless!
Oh and by the way, to answer my question of my blog, NO, this isn't a meaningful blog. Shocked? I know I'm not.

Jabbering at it's Best

Look here:

I am now going to hypnotize whoever reads this blog to read my own blogs from now on. Come on, you are getting sleepy very sleepy. Oh well, it didn't work but I did get your attention didn't I? I really don't know what to write today because today is just one of those days. Those days that you just want to be lazy and enjoy it because you had a crappy week.
Sometimes there are days that I wish I could be like this: just sitting on a train, bus, or whatever vehicle I choose and just let the wind hit me as I am going to a place that I have never been before or just destination that I know that will turn up OK in the end. Then again, I also wish that I could be Wonder-Woman: spin around into my costume and save peoples lives, help beat the bad guys, or just to solve a crime would be nice too. Yes, I am jabbering. Hey, it could be worse I could be complaining about work, but I am not.
I wish our apartment had a bathtub so I could just sit in it, read a good book, and relax. Then again, I am not really a bath person; I am more of a shower person so that would be out of the question. Although I would love to do that just once to see what it would be like. I just realized that James and I haven't been on a "date" in gosh I really don't know how long. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just be like these two people sitting at a restaurant and enjoying each others company? I think it will happen sooner than later. It just sucks that we are both so busy with work and what not.
Well, James just woke up so I am going to walk away from this blog and may write more tomorrow or the day after. Have a good weekend everyone and God Bless!

Why?

Why? Why do I let him (meaning Tim, the Pharmacist) get to me so much?! I decided to get up an hour earlier than I usually do so I can write on here. Yesterday at work was by far the worse days I have ever had and I just pray that it doesn't get any worse (then again, I know it won't because Tim won't be here much longer). So here goes the story of what happened yesterday...

I was by myself (since Sean had the day off) and I was working 11-7. Tim and I were already off to a rocky start because he said that I don't know how to multi-task and that I tend to do other things when I am supposed to do one thing at a time (like he wanted me to). I went on the Wire (Wal*Mart's site for employees) to check if there was any drug that was recalled and there was a few to be exact so I decided to do them. Tim didn't like that at all. But after convincing him that I needed to get that done, he was OK with it (or so I thought). So when I was done with that, I went back to filling prescriptions. So when I put a tote on the counter for him to verify it, I notice that there was an MTR (that's when we use over-the-counter drugs to fill a prescription) that I needed to do so I thought that I would be able to do that before Tim closed the Pharmacy for a half-hour. Again, I was wrong. So, he told make that he yelled at me that I could do that later so I took the paper back and placed it to where I can get it. He proceeded to yell at me and told me that I don't grab things from him. I told him not once not twice but three times to leave me alone, but he wouldn't. Then, he threw the "Lori Card" (meaning comparing me to her and I can't stand it when people do that) saying that this is where I am like Lori nice one day mean the next. And I said that goes for him too, but he can be an a**. Once I said that word, it was like a flash of lightning hit me and I was like crap, did I really say that? Anyways, he said that he was going to tell Management and I told him that I will tell them myself and I did. The Store Manager was surprised that I didn't say anything else besides that and just be careful.
When the half-hour was done and the Pharmacy was open again, I apologized and he forgave me (I really don't know if I believe him or not) and wanted to shake my hand, but I didn't want to take it that far (guess pride was talking). See, if Lori would have said that to him, I am sure that she wouldn't have apologized to him. As a matter of fact, she would have said it was justified. She has walked out on him and left him there by himself until Sean got there and that's something that I could never do no matter how bad he has gotten to me that day. He asked me yesterday if he pressures me too much and to be honest with him, yes he does. It was bad enough that I had to deal with this when Joe was here but to deal with this while Tim is here, can get old not to mention very frustrating. All I ask is that you bear with me, help me when I need you to, and don't be patronizing. Unfortunately, Tim would never do any of the stuff that I just mentioned and I am officially counting down until he leaves for good (and in case you are wondering it's like 19 or so days). I usually don't complain about work on here, but yesterday was just one of those days that I know that I can never forget and that really got to me so I thought that I would write it on here. I am just glad that I have James, my family, and most importantly God to be here for me when I need someone to talk to or else I would go nuts!
On a different note, the elections are finally over and we have a new president and vice president: I am just glad that it's finally over and now we can see what Obama can do for us (well, starting January when it's really official).
Well, I am done writing in this blog so I will just say have a good Friday, good weekend, and until the next time I write in here, God Bless!
