well, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. most of them not so good. but in the end it will be ok. i finally put the divorce papers out on lloyd and he really hasn't spoken to me since last friday and i'm cool w/it for now. he will get over it.
 
in the meantime, my poor car died and costs to revive it are not worth the bother. i can probably get a new hunk of junk for the same price or less and be driving soon. it's a pain getting rides from friends, coworkers and taking buses. but i'm doing it. grrrrrrrrrr!
 
i also developed a massive sinus infection that even tho i'm on antibiotics, has mutated and caused my upper jaw/lower cheek on my left side to swell up. at least it's not painful. i am eating lots of yogurt, taking my septra and taking it easy today. i got a full night sleep last night and no it's not related to my teeth.
 
if anybody has any suggestions of stuff that is just hanging around the house as a help or cure. please feel reply to this update. anything helps. especially since i started a new job last tuesday and had to miss saturday b/c my ride didnt show up. they said i couldnt come back monday b/c i need to get back to the class thursday or friday. at first i was pissed. but then as i got sicker and my face caused me more pain i was glad and wasnt even sure i would ever go back (very strict about absences and w/my problems it would probably be asking for trouble) b/c now i have the rest of the week to recupe and even find other jobs. unemployment wont like it. but they are only giving me $77 a week anyway. so they ca kiss something of mine that is big and fat. lol!
 
anyway, i can always get a little food stamps maybe. if not i'll find something else. i almost had a nice car yesterday, but then the wife sold it to a coworker b/c hubby forgot to tell her he was selling it to me the next day. they got the full price for it, instead of me making payments. oh well, maybe something a lot better is in my future.
 
well, all take care and hope you had a great weekend,

Oh dear I am so distractable !
I am not on the computer at all most week ends & when I saw your post yesterday morning I started to reply then lost it while looking for something .  Maybe it's just part of the whole parcel of goodies that goes with these conditions !   My sincere apologies for this lapse in ettiquette and manners. 
 
I learned Monday night that a dear girlfriends husband had been molesting her daughter and --assaulting her son a number of times.  They've been separated for about a year or more.  It's a long story - I won't go into all the details, but this absolutely precious 12 year old will today be meeting alone with soc.serv & police in a private video taped disclosure session.
 
Nancy, if you're getting around by bus etc. I really hope you've got good weather ! I do hope that by now you'll be able to find another vehicle that fits you're budget.  It is so uncomfortable needing to get rides from other people, it just seems to bring up all sorts of things, doesn't it?
 
I think I had a bunch of assorted ways of treating sinus infections & maybe discouraging them.  I've had a few & sure would not wish that on anyone ! I think I'll post it under "Coping with Pain"    At least a full nights sleep will help your body better cope with it.  I really do hope you're feel better now & have been able to get a couple more good nights sleep.
 
That job doesn't sound like the best one for you.  Maybe this is "the Universe's" way of moving you on to something better for you !  We can hope.
 
Here now we've had over a week of rain. As of yesterday morning we've had more than twice our Monthly average !
A lot of basements are flooding as it rained steadily all day yesterday too. Further south there is quite a lot of flooding & a few roads are washed out. High elevations have had up to 3 ft of snow !  Temp stayed around 6-9 C (low 40's F) the last couple of days.   Well, it's been very dry here for several years so this will atleast give everything a good soaking!
 
I do hope things are coming together for you better ! 
Blessings & gentle hugs !
Rene M

thanx, but no need to apologize. hey sometimes i don't get back to the pc for days when i'm working. but the swelling has gone down a lot. im still taking the septra and its helping. hopefully it will all be gone by monday.
 
in the meantime, the job asked me back to join another class where i left off. they want a drs note about my IBS problems and such. but i'm gonna wait until i find out if their extra dry A/C is what caused my sinuses to go crazy. if that is the case i will quit or fail the final on purpose so they have to fire me (unemployment likes it better if they fire you, than you quit). not that EDD pays me anything but $77 a week. but anything beats a blank till i can get something better. i will not stay somewhere were my health is in danger from something as silly as thier a/c system. also they tend to monitor your bathroom habits. if you use more than 15mins during a two week pay period on bathroom habits and the like you will not get your $.50 per hour incentive for the next two weeks. also absenses count against it too, unless you have built up unpaid time off. even then its frowned on and you don't get yearly raises. i knew the company was like this. but i took the job b/c i was desperate. but i'm still looking for other things and chanting alot.
 
i signed up for that reiki group but nobody has ever authorized me and it won't let me read anything. so if you could check on it. it would be nice.
 
i have several prospects for finding a car and suddenly several ppl are interested in my car. 3 ppl have contacted me already and have no trouble so far w/what they have to do to the car and the price i'm asking. the ppl that contacted me are all from my complex. so that will save having to move it around. i'm also selling at tow bar. lloyd wanted to keep the darn thing. silly man. he doesnt own a car and it would sit in his closet waiting for use till he dies. so i got it from him (boy was he mad, he is a pack rat and hates giving up man toys even if they are broken or cannot be used).
 
as for lloyd. he hasnt spoke to me or taken my calls at all since last week. we have a court date to meet for the divorce the day before my birthday july 20th (so i guess that means he won't be taking me out for my b-day now huh? lol). i hope he shows up. it would be a pain for him not to be there. i sent him a registered letter about the court date. they asked me to ask him to work it out w/o all this. but he wont. so we will see what happens. i have dreamed about him 3 nights in a row. what is funny is we are fighting in most of them. weird.
 
i was feeling so bad last saturday when the swelling started that i forgot to have my ride take me to the bank and ended up bouncing the rent check. it cost me $30 at the bank. $25 dollars for my landlords bank and a $50 late charge. i paid all but $171. of it today. can't pay w/anything but a money order for the next year. but its ok. at least i still got the place and i like my manager. my credit union only charges $2 for m.o. (which isn't bad considering most will charge you $6) and my manager says i have to buy them for another year. the machine wasn't working and i had to wait for the m.o. so they gave it to me free. (my lucky day!).
 
lol, this is my day. somebody wanted my towbar and is willing to pay $100 for it. im selling it as we speak. 3 ppl have shown interest in the car and hopefully it will be out of my hair for $200 by the weekend. w/another hundred from my paycheck i will be able to buy a car this weekend from the cheapie car dealership free can clear. yippee.
 
well, gotta go,
 
hugs and thanx for the goodluck!

Well, here I am at last !  - wasn't on the computer for about 3+ days & then have found that MSN groups are not opening pages or posting smoothly  .
 
This employer sounds down right scarey - not much into professionalism, at least as I know it.  I think it's designed for the not so mature and not so motivated peeps. I do think you will find something better for you.  This sounds like a stress creator - Makes my head crazy thinking about that kind of experience  - I've never been good with a lot of restrictions, I have to admit.  However, Nancy, my hat's off to you for having what it takes to wade in and do your best. 
 
The Reiki group, I'm afraid, is rather static right now as the manager is/has moved across the country & won't likely be on line for another 2-3 weeks.  I'll be chatting with her as soon as she gets settled in & up & running. Then will be letting you know more as soon as possible.  I'd do the attunement for you now, however there are a lot of good articles and more there so I'll feel better to wait until some of these details get ironed out.
 
Well, I'm thinking you've likely sold that car by now & hope that's gone well.  The tow bar business is a bit of a chuckle isn't it ?  Sounds as if you're at least getting a good few dollars for it !
 
Strange to have that particular court date, isn't it - has to make you wonder if  this is some sort of Csmic humor or what !  Still fighting even in your dreams - oh no !  Sounds as though you're both still hurt & frustrated by everything !
 
What's that silly old saying,? "It never rains, but what it pours" ........ yikes this sounds like quite a down pour to me.... Glad you've got a credit union - fees for all of this sort of thing get pretty steep. A good apt. mgr is such a blessing - I've had both kinds, boy we sure appreciate the good ones when they do come along.
 
Ok, now the week end is past, how did the car search go, did you find a good one ???
I've been taking another on line class the last 6 wks which has been meeting x2/wk in a chat format which has been most interesting, have learned a lot.  We've been preparing a special presentation for the 21st, for the whole grp. next week, which should be interesting.
 
I had a funny experience with one of the members last week:  We continued to chat for awhile after class, then I dropped a piece of paper, bent to pick it up & thoroughly whacked my head on a little shelf beside the comp. table.  She keyed back to me & said "what went bump"?   lol  So funny - I felt quite confused for a few secs - then realized that she had sensed my bump!  Whew, talk about tuning in to people !  or that we are all connected at some level ! 
 
Well, Wishing you a very great deal of good fortune in all of these matters !  
 
Blessings & gentle hugs

well, actually i got a good car. it got stolen. then i got it back the same day. talk about chanting working. it was all in one piece too. everybody else i know that got their car stolen ended up w/problems. usually their car was totalled. but mine had no damage. in fact, the fact that it was damaged already saved me from them keeping it longer. the ignition switch was broken and the car was stuck on. the idiots didn't know how to turn it off. so they left it in the valet parking at the peppermill hotel and casino 2 blocks away.
 
i since met a repair guy and he has worked on it for me. it runs great and now i just gotta get a job to afford to put gas in it. otherwise, everything is great. im also waiting to hear from the peppermill to see how soon i get an interview for 2 positions i'm interested in. it would be nice to just be able to walk over to work if i want.
 
anyway, lloyd and i are barely talking. he is still pissed over the divorce (even if it is for tax reasons), but eventually he should come around. i owe him about $200. for the car and the new littermaid mechanical cat litter box he helped me get a few months ago. i know he doesn't expect me to pay him back or even that he offered it as anything but a gift. but i will at least make the gesture. knowing him he will turn it down anyway. he always was a gentleman, even when he was rude. lol! (oxymoron huh?)
 
the problem w/me is i miss him alot. i think part of is it is he is missing me also and i'm picking up on it as usual. i get really sad sometimes in the evenings just before his time for bed. so i figure i'm picking up on his loneliness. of course he would never admit it. MEN. anyway, my gf is gonna go camping w/her family, our family and lloyd. she then plans to work on him to get us back together. i told her GOOD LUCK. she will need it. he is a tough nut to crack sometimes. lol!
 
hil has a boyfriend and its getting pretty serious. tomorrow is their 2wk anniversary and he told her he loved her this morning. (they are thinking of a june wedding on the anniversary of their first date 2wks ago). yes i know its soon. but hey i knew ahead of time when it was gonna happen w/lloyd (and all the others in my past) so i knew when she met john big things were gonna happen. im just so happy for the both of them.
 
you take care and i'm interested in these online classes you speak of. send me the info if possible.
 
thanx,
