Musings from my mind |
| After my nap yesterday, I went to a coworker A's home because she was having a Princess House home party. Coworker B in my office has just signed up to be a rep so in an effort to help her get her business and clientele built, Coworker A hosted a party. Since I had been having such a difficult week, I decided a little fun might be in order. I stayed until 8ish, when I felt so tired I was gonna drop, so I bailed and came home and went to bed. Princess House is another of those home party businesses like Mary Kay, Tupperware and Partylite, but they sell cookware and kitchen items. Holy crap! They are expensive! Sure they are pretty and durable and all that, but in today's struggling economy, who can afford all that s***? Yet, the people that buy it are the same people who complain about rising gas prices and the high cost of a gallon of milk. If they were that affected by the high price of gas, they'd quit their whining and start trimming back, letting the frou frou stuff go first. When coworker B first approached me about her starting to sell Princess House stuff, I asked to look at a catalog, thinking if I just bought something small, I would have fulfilled my "friendship duty" and that would be the end of it. A set of 4 shot glasses was almost $25 after taxes and the scam of shipping and handling!!!! Sure, they are nice shot glasses, and they were about the cheapest thing in the catalog that I would actually use, but sheesh!!! I came home and was in bed by 9pm. I slept until 10 this am! I was so tired. I guess my body had just gotten used to not sleeping that it needed that one dose of ambien to remind it how to get to sleep. I know that sounds wierd, but I don't care, it worked! I'm just so glad to be sleeping again. I don't feel nearly as grieved about Randy anymore, although I know that moments will come and go when I will think of him and miss him dearly. I haven't heard from my daughter, which isn't a good or a bad thing, but on the other hand, I haven't been called from the morgue yet either. So I'm back to maintaining. I can do that. I've gotten pretty good at it. I need to plan out my day. I have to pick up Joe at 6 tonite, so between now and then, I'm going to clean house and do some laundry, and I need to practice the songs on the piano that I will play at church tomorrow. I may have to make a run to the store. They served some yummy shrimp dip last night on crackers, and it was very good. I may have to go get the fixens and make a batch myself because I want some more. I'm not quite able to watch all the sad stuff on CNN yet, so maybe I'll just put on some good music and listen to that today. I'm in a better place emotionally today than I've have been in for the past couple weeks, so that makes me feel much better, more secure and more confident. Sure, it was a rough patch, but I'm hoping that the worst is over now and things are going to be better now. Thanks for stopping by, Curls |
