Hi Everyone

 

Just love all the new faces.....you are all so beautiful...Thank you for letting me in to see you all.   I changed my pic...wow am I getting old and the bags under my eyes from working so much is getting to my face and body.  Today I'm still sitting in bed and it's 10:30 and I don't care.  I think later I will go to the store because I have a 80 dollar credit from buying all the new bed linens at Kolhs.  I want to change my bath colors.

My Ason is doing as well as can be expected.  Talking to him at last visit he told me things I have never heard before.....like MOM I have to grow up and take responsibility for myself.  It was I will change and don't leave me in the past.  To say GROW UP is big in my book.  But even though he was saying all the right things my mind is just filing it away.  When I was about to leave the subject came up again and I just said something to the fact I keep a open mind but can't take it for gospel  because I just don't know if your serious.  He was not happy and said..I know you still don't trust me.  I looked at him with a honest face but didn't say I was sorry about it even though in the past I would have.  I'm not sorry because I have to protect me and trust comes with actions not words.  I think he understands this but he's hurt anyways...oh well.   I gave him a big hug and told him I loved him no matter what and will support his recovery. 

He's having a hard time somewhat.  He finally got to a bunk off the wall but was assigned to a upper bunk which he quickly fell off of and hurt himself.  They moved him to dorm 1 in a lower bunk but that dorm is called the party dorm.  Now he has a problem with all the smoking of spice and the making of houch ( alcohol ). He doesn't want to complain but I just told him to put in a request for a move because you know your allergic to smoke and just show them you eyes and the sneezing.  They will see for themselves....because I see it big time just looking at you.  Prison guards get paid to keep their mouths shut.  What a mess our prisons are sometimes. 

Things at work I pray will get better starting next week.  We are migrating over to the new software over the weekend.  I can only hope it all doesn't blow up on us.  My part is making sure all the mobile devices are up and working and connecting to the software.  I finally told my boss I just have to get some training on the mobile handheld scanners because they are way beyond my figuring them out....on network but not connecting to software.  Thank HP for them saying OK because the training is expensive.  The mobile tablets...no problem.....the wireless printers....no problem....the bar-code labeling..no problem   The mobile handheld printers I had a problem with getting them on the network but after about 4 days of trying I call Zebra support and when I gave them the SN....they told me they only had bluetooth and were not wireless.....DANG.....we ordered wireless.  Called ABR and the 6 printers will be changed out next week.  Now just have 6 more printers to setup and 6 more tablets.   Not sure why I'm telling you all this but I just need to vent and BF is not the person. 

Well anywho.....I guess I might just get out of this bed, get dressed and head to the store for some window shopping and maybe purchases for the bath.

(((( hugs to all )))  love ya...

My first thought was, "Bah Humbug." lol

oh son son son. Prisons are horrible my dear. All of them. They are not made to rehab, only to keep these humans away from others.

Its common knowledge that isolating people like they do for punishment, only makes them sicker and not be able to live with others.

You are beautiful so stop the bs about that. lol

wow that is lots of work. I am sure they really need  you. A person who really does work!

hugs

I am so impressed with your ability to do all this, Cathy. I'm not surprised by it - just totally impressed. You are one smart gal! Seeing how much you've grown in relationship to your son makes me smile, too. Knowing that what he says means little unless their is action to go with it, helps you keep your expectations lower and your disappointment level down, too. Happy window shopping and bath changing. So good to hear from you today, Cathy. I'm glad you stayed in bed, too!

Thanks everyone....I got up went to the store and bought a whole new bath decor. Went with a forest green.....rugs, towels and a couple of nice pics I liked. I also bought two new king size pillows because they were on sale. ALSO bought a new purse, wallet and sandals... LOL just love spending on me but now I need to be done for a while.

I stopped on my way home and bought Chinese take home. I also bought Mint Chip ice cream......me bad but who cares hehe. Now I don't need to make dinner and just relax this evening. I think we are in for a storm so that's cool.... I love a good storm.

I'm just on a happy cloud today and that's a good thing I think....

((( hugs )))
