Friday, February 24, 2006. My two other peers and I figured we could bear down and hold out until the new fourth cashier supervisor started next week. Here's the kicker. She's not coming. She was an internal transfer that allegedly already knew the position. Turns out that supposedly due to some personal stuff, she has taken another position at her current store and isn't coming to our store. AAARRGGHHHHH! This has led to schedule changes in the next two weeks that are hell. Hellfire. Wednesday, February...

Thursday, March 02, 2006. God's Way of Telling Me to Do Laundry. Anyhow, since I'm up, I might as well do that pesky laundry that I've got sorted. Especially since being only slightly less madder than a wet hornet is giving me the energy to tote laundry baskets up and down three flights of stairs. At least all of my clothes will be clean and put away! Time to refill my coffee cup and go check on the clothes. Posted by Mel at 9:00 AM. Monday, February 27, 2006. Posted by Mel at 5:26 PM.

Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Some Things That Make Life Worth Living. Dad He's funny and we have a relationship that I am sure we'd have never had if my mom hadn't died when she did and as suddenly as she did. I miss Mom, even after almost 10 years, but I am glad I've had the opportunity to get to know my dad. Baseball. Specifically, the Cleveland Indians. I love it. Can't wait till spring training starts. The only sport I actually listen to on the radio, and preferable to TV. Only ac...Pizza In all form...

Friday, January 20, 2006. If I'm on Vacation, Why Was I Up at FOUR? The answer: Dogzilla, of course! He was ready for his breakfast, and since he was good enough to sleep from about 8 last night until a few minutes past 4 this morning, I indulged him. His bad leg is acting up a bit, but I really think he just likes having me put him in bed and in the recliner. Spoiled baby! I do foresee an afternoon nap in everyone's future. Dad is up, too, so Dogzilla's morning work is done. Posted by Mel at 6:44 AM.

Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Web site, because I'm not sure I can do an adequate job of describing the session! Anyhow, I was very impressed and I am going to be quite happy to go back for another session. It was a really serendipitous opportunity to do some very necessary self-care, and I'm grateful for it. Posted by Mel at 9:46 PM. Tuesday, March 07, 2006. Chicken with Provencal Sauce, Or Kitchen De-Stressing. Morning update: attempted to watch "Ned Kelly". Not even Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom mad...

Saturday, January 07, 2006. Well, been a couple of days, so I need to catch up. Work wasn't too busy, but with doing the "Friday close/Saturday open", it made for one tired pup! Glad I got to leave work just when things were really getting busy both Sat. and Sun. I'm off now until 10 pm Weds. night. Going to work an overnight on Weds. with one of my co-workers to clean our checklanes inside and out. The dust bunnies will be running! We took a nice walk once the graham crackers were put away. Dogzilla...

Saturday, January 14, 2006. Well, overnight the weather is wintry again. At least the ground is too warm for snow to stick! Although, I really do have to say that since I have changed fields of work, my stress level is so much lower and I really think it has minimized most of the unpleasant aspects of perimenopause. Hot flashes aren't as hot or as frequent and even the cravings are a surprise, not a routine! Off to shower up and run errands. After I finish my coffee, that is. Posted by Mel at 8:31 AM.

Saturday, February 18, 2006. My favorite thing about the Olympics redux. Kjetil Andre Aamodt celebrating Super G gold repeat. Woohoo! Posted by Mel at 11:25 AM. Wednesday, February 15, 2006. Hark, Hark, the Dogs Do Bark. I love the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Someday, I'm going to go, especially since it is in one of my favorite places, NYC. Okay, enough of my soap box, but today, give a dog a scratch behind the ear or a belly rub or a nice little treat. Posted by Mel at 10:03 AM. 6 I don't get the...

Tuesday, February 07, 2006. February: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. February DOES have some fine things, though. I love Groundhog Day. It is my February holiday of choice, and I usually make a big deal out of it. I know what Punxsutawney Phil predicts (and I consider him the most official groundhog out there; Buckeye Chuck is just a pretender to the crown. Or would that be "stump"? Pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 16, and opening day is my Tribe vs. the ChiSox on April 2 in Chicago. I hope it's som...
