I heard there were dragons here! Finds a drakeling and a comfy corner and snuggles.

I am terrified of going back to school. I am beyond tired and fed up with work. I am going to hide here and cry. These guys don't mind water to they?

[Sunshine]

Snuggles drakeling....dont tell my chihuahua...she's a lil jealous....

[Pixilated]

We have the first howling blizzard of the season ... and I have to go out in it to get to work. Ugh.

WHEN is that winning lottery ticket going to turn up??

[Mytical]

*brings in little drakelings for anybody who needs them* Hey they may be scaly, not furry, but they are just so darn cute.

My googlefu has failed in finding a good picture of them though. All searching for drake does is show pictures of a person named Drake

They look something like the little guy on the woman's shoulder here http://www.businessinsider.com/each-...rations-2013-5 but smaller, and come in all colors.

*adopts Kanalah and makes her a sister.* There. You have family who loves you. *hugs Kanalah*

I am sorry things are so tough for you right now. Hopefully, they'll take a turn for the better soon.

[Kanalah]

I wish I had a family that loved me, or just friends to hang out with.

I hate this time of year.

[Sunshine]

The ice and cold is coming back!! Ugh!

I heard about those tornadoes! So sorry to hear that. So weird for November.

[Ellain]

An F4 tornado hit our area on Sunday. Our house is fine, but some relatives are still without power, and some friends lost everything. Also, I feel like crap, so I can't go volunteer.

Got blamed at the weekend by someone I once considered a friend leaving a mutual hobby group. Why? Because I actually asked him to treat others with respect. I suspect it is also because I am *daring* as a woman to leave my husband because it isn't working. This guy cannot handle a strong woman who doesn't treat herself as her husbands chattel. (or can actually best him in his hobby without trying and on her first time doing it when he's been doing it over a decade. )

I am fed up of being everyone else's scapegoat for whatever they don't want to face. Luckily I have real friends around me who respect me and tell me that HE is the problem and not me.

Today I know I stand on my own feet, make very few excuses and try not to blame others for my failures. I win. He loses.

Got paid Friday ... $91. Bought gas, some groceries, not enough of either to get me through the week ... and I've got $13 left.

The increased holiday hours I'm hoping for haven't started yet. I had about 10 hours last week and the same this week. I hope they're not too far in the future. I'm noticing a lot of other people getting hours; some are holiday help so I can understand they will need to cram in a lot of training as quickly as possible, but ... my sales figures lately have been really good so I hope my turn comes soon. Even one additional shift a week would make a lot of difference.

I go in today (Saturday) for 6 hours. Dickhead District Manager is visiting again. Wish me luck.

My day didn't start well. I had a text message from Tony to let me know he was in A&E after throwing up blood. He hasn't been well for the past 3-4 days with a stomach virus.

I was happier after he rang me to let me know they had given him painkillers, anti-nausea drugs and a drip. He's being kept in for a day or two to make sure he's stable but they think the blood was from his throat or stomach lining being subjected to so much vomiting.

I'll be happier still when he's home.

Saturday I decided to visit a shelter and see if there was a cat there for me. I found a very loving and sweet boy, but due to work time restraints had to return the following day to do the approval paperwork. When I went there today (sunday) they told me he was pre-adopted. Being as such, he was still at the shelter awaiting his familys arrival. he sat in is little cage meowing at me and talking to me the whole time.

Its so stupid that i'm hurt over it, but i'm sitting here crying nonetheless.
Then as if my heart wasnt sore enough, I had to go love on another sweet kitty, and after reading her papers, found out she was FIV positive. I cant risk our other cat getting it. So I gave her love and attention, and left.

I feel guilty leaving even 1 cat behind. I feel sad for those poor cats who are 10-12 years old and maybe never had a good family. I thought of taking one of the oldest ones and giving him a loving home for his last few years, but having recently lost a kitty, I dont think my heart can take much more.

And I feel guilty that I want a young cat/kitten. because i know the older ones deserve love, too, and have a less of a chance of being adopted. But the idea of going through the death of another pet, even in the next few years, makes me feel like falling apart.

I miss my sweet cat so much right now. I miss her love, and company.

Had a bit of a scare yesterday. I noticed my mind was trying to shut down, and that I was starting to shake. The shaking was getting worse, so I decided to take my blood sugar thinking that maybe my blood sugar levels were too high..

It was 72 and dropping FAST. Way too low. Got some sugar in me and started feeling MUCH better. Still I will be over in the corner here, because if I hadn't noticed the signs..could have been bad..real bad.

I just LOVE it when my dad decides to lecture me on something he has no clue about and just does the "I'm older then you and I know more about everything then you do" defense.

Really Dad? How much about quilting and dealing with clients do you really know about?

Ass.
