11/27/2013: "Tuesday Looooong Day"

Yesterday was a long arduous day at work. I felt like a bobbing toy. This desk for this, back to the other desk for that, go to that make-shift desk to help someone else and then oops, forgot to do that, so hurry and get that done, then oh boy, this again and that again and oh wow, discover I didn't complete the end of October for that work and I'm thinking how on earth am I to get this all in sync again. And to start with, the first attack of the day I was floundering with, getting that how do I do this where do I start... when Dot appeared in front of me and said to hand it over to her - so BIG BIG help and thank you so much as I know that particular piece of work would have taken me close to three times longer then her since she was more familiar with the names involved than me. Hm. I think she saw the starting look of anxiety on me. Yay Dot! Thank you for being so much more to me than a sister. But the sister part is great in itself. Not sure how I would have gotten through a lot of things without her. And ha! I'm the older sister... shouldn't it be reversed? Wait... it was when we were a lot younger. :)

So it was a very long day with trying to keep up with all sides of things. It wasn't a moody angry or upset day in the least, but very hectic and fast paced.

I'm SO glad Bri did the Thanksgiving shopping for me (Thank you so much for that Bri!) I didn't have the energy to do it over the weekend and Monday after work, I was achy. Yesterday would have been a nightmare since I got out at eight p.m. Bri is such a sweetie at times. Other times, (said with a sincere smile, mind you) he's just Brian. I love him just the same and I appreciate that he cares enough about his mom (me! if the reader didn't know the connection) to be there even when he seems not to have a care one way or other. Oh wait, he cares a lot when he's arguing err debating on the internet. So many people are wrong out there that need to be corrected - or something like that.

Anyway. I'm feeling quite achy this morning - not sure if' it is all the moving around yesterday or the rain and cold this morning or just left over from the fall I took last week. Advil and Aleve will be my friends today.

I'm thinking to change my writing / typing to night time before bed so things are still fresh in my mind. I know my Mom use to write in her journal before going to bed. I miss my parents. It's been so very long since my Mom passed and I still feel tears come when I think of times we had and her funny antics that I see so often in my older son Pete. It amazes me at times. Of course I miss Dad but differently. He taught me how to be brave when things were tough and bless him, he sat with me so often on shifts with my Mom during my sick days in the hospital. I miss him too. Ah, it's the holiday blues striking, isn't it.

Time to get ready and off to work.

Good Day and Good Blessings!
