Day 182 – The Day I Could Breathe

I am finally done working for someone who I didn’t feel was appreciative enough of all my hard work. I knew from about 3 months in that it was not the situation I thought it would be. I was dreading having to quit when I got a new job, but it was made very easy for me when they confirmed that it wasn’t the place for me :)

Starting my own company to hold me over until I can work for the company is very interesting to me. I never thought that I would do this and I am happy that I do get to. Even if it is only for a little bit :)

The dogs were very bad last night. At around 01:00 they decided to get a 5th wind and raise hell. I was up with them until about 02:00. Not a happy camper.

I have now taken them out twice this evening and I think that I have decided that they need to eat earlier because they hardly ate this evening. I don’t like that because they are very active and they need to eat.

Alright, gonna mess around for a bit :)

I made a logo, I am not sure that it is what I am going with basically with the name. I can be very creative or just do something simple :)

I suppose I am going to call it a night. It is about bedtime anyway!!

Day 181 – The Day I Decided to Start an LLC!

I have decided that I am going to start an LLC. I am going to accept all name ideas, got one yesterday that was something like Reds Stick Together? Anyway, people are funny!!

I just walked with the puppies and found another turtle, that is two or the same one twice today. I think I am going to google like a paint or something to mark them that doesn’t hurt them. I am not 100% sure what kind they are but they are little and so sweet and I don’t want the puppies to get them but for some reason they always do, not just these dogs, ALL of our dogs have done that.

SO HOT!! I am sweating from just walking around out there. Amazing.

I am going to grab me some food, bologna and cheese I think :) Then I am doing some research…

And now it is raining and that means no more playing outside.

Wait, the dogs don’t seem to understand the it’s wet out so I don’t wanna go. Guess I will go. Yep, pretty wet out.

Day 180 – The Day I Flew In and then Flew Out

Today I am in Atlanta for the afternoon for a training class. I flew in this morning and am headed back tonight. This isn’t too bad of a gig, but I will get home later than I like.

I am with Construction and am about to start my session with them. It is supposed to be half a day and I am not sure I am going to be able to stretch it that far, which is actually good because it means that people are really getting it.

I rented a Fiat 500 at the airport. It is a pretty comfy vehicle, but a bit under powered. I am sure the car rental place doesn’t have the most powerful model, but there is nothing worse then being under powered :(

Alright, will get back to you later :)

I sat next to someone at the airport who was coming from Turkey. She said all these cool things she did while she was there and I was so jealous! It sounded AMAZING :) I also found out that right before the airport was bombed. Crazy world.

Made it home safe and sound and now I am going to bed!!

Day 179 – The First Day of the Last Week!!

Today is officially the last Monday at my current job!  I am so happy and excited because I feel like this is the first steps to the last job I will have.

I went to a field office to help construction with the new application and it went really well.  We have worked really hard to improve the program and it is nice when people express their happiness with the changes.  This is the same place I went last week, but with a different group of people.

Now, when I sit at my desk in my room, Nickel thinks it is play time so he sits next to me and “talks” to me in a loud whining voice. I am going to try to record it and post it, but I just haven’t yet.

I managed to break my website just a little while ago, but luckily Paul fixed it. Not sure what was wrong, but he wants cake as payment.

My sister just got here and brought dinner so let’s go see what that is about :) I had a couple wings and it was pretty good. I am about to have a hot dog since I have been out twice with the puppies and am working up an appetite :) Hotdog was good too!

I just had to get 3 balls out from under the cabinet that Nickel lost. Played again…

I want to jump in the shower, but I know that I have several more walks with the dogs still…

And finally it is getting dark and I am going to get to bed – I have an early flight tomorrow :)

Day 178 – The Laziest SunDay :)

Today, laundry day – I did not start laundry until after 16:00 – CRAZY!!  To be fair, my book is getting very good and I thought I was going to be able to finish it and I never did.  Not even while I was doing laundry and I think I was reading until about 01:00 in the morning!

The dogs were not too bad today, it was so humid I did not want to go out last night.

What was for dinner you ask, BEENIE WEENIES!!!  The best dinner ever :)

I have just done nothing today except read, eat, do laundry, and sleep.  BYE!!

Day 177 – Hair Day

I got my hair done today and it looks AMAZING!!!!!!  The salon often has new stylists there and today I say a new group and they always love what Charlotte does with my hair.  They were loving on it for real.  It looks more amazing than usual.  I don’t know what it is but it is so bright and the highlights are popping :)

I am going to start an LLC.  I have been wanting to do this for a little while, but I am not really sure why.  I don’t really need to do it for my new big adventure but I think I am going to use it as my excuse :)

I just tried to play with the puppies, but it didn’t last long.  I took 3 tennis balls outside, but Nickel managed to lose them ALL!  He has to be the boss, he has to get every ball and if I don’t throw his far enough away then he goes after it too.  So had to come back in.  Just now he decides to come stick his face right by my desk and start whining.  Guess we will go out again.  And again they don’t really wanna play.  I think it is just too hot.  So many people were commenting on it.

I am gonna go get me some nice cold water, probably should make sure that the dogs also have some :)

Day 176 – The Day of the Battle with Adobe and Word!

I am sitting here sweating so bad because I have been out running the dogs and it is HOT!!!!!!  OK, today – I started with a project this morning of converting a document to PDF and then I had to do a couple other things to that.  So not only did Word kick my butt, but so did Adobe after I finally got it done.

We had some kind of microwave dinner and it was alright but not AMAZING.  I am wanting some Panda Express because it has been a while – you know!!

I think I have won them out properly – or the heat has at least.  I am ready to take a shower I am so sticky and YUCK.

Today I found a picture of the derail that happened at Fostoria, the place I was last week.  It is not great because it is a derail, but it shows how crazy that place is.

I have a hair appointment tomorrow and that makes me very happy :)  I also need to do other things at the mall so yeah!

Just went for another walk – it is after 8pm, I am going to take a shower and call the day DONE :)

This is Fostoria, OH showing the derailment they just had.  The F Tower I was working in is the one in the center of the screen to the left of the tracks that cross.

Day 175 – The Day I Got A New Job

Well, it didn’t take long to get this worked out :)  I am going to contract with a local company so that I can keep on my project.  I am going to use 1099 so now I need to read up on that to make sure I don’t mess up :)  I did a little bit to determine the rate I needed, but not total research.  I am so very excited!!

My work meeting got cancelled for today and rescheduled for Monday.  Tomorrow I have an early meeting and then another in the afternoon.  Good way to finish out the week.

I need to get something to eat.  I am about cereal-ed out!  Gotta see what we got :)

We ended up having some pizza – I know how original :)  But it wasn’t the kind we normally get and not that great.

I, of course, played with the dogs a million times.  Here are some pics of the puppies playing – we also go for “walks” (I think I might have mentioned this before) – basically we walk to the gate and they run through the woods and we come back.  They are so silly :)

Dime on our walk :)

Day 174 – The Day My Car Died…

I am on my way to the dentist this morning and at the stop light my car dies.  It doesn’t want to start, just keeps cranking.  Then it finally does and the check engine light is on.  Great.  So I go to the dentist because it seems to be running fine and then I head right to the dealership.  When I go to drop it off the service guy says it’s probably low on oil.  I was like WHAT?!  It was, it was so low that it didn’t register on the stick.  Why in the heck would the car not give me an oil light if the oil was low?!  Goodness.  Anyway, it is all fixed and I picked it up this evening.

On a side note, the dealership had two hellcats in the showroom, both sitting at a cool $80,000.00  WOW.

Also, me and mom went to Chili’s after and someone paid for our meal.  I thought that was really nice.  They did it because someone paid for theirs.  So we paid for someone else’s.  We paid for this young couple who held both doors open for us.  We sent a note that said we had seen them hold the door and thought it was really nice.  I think they were happy.

Today for work I went to see the local construction folks, a guy who was really involved in the tool I used to work on.  Got them going in the right direction and they took me to lunch at a local BBQ place and it was good.  It took longer than I thought, but it was well worth it.  I am supposed to go back tomorrow and help them more with a couple more people coming.

OK, I kept yawning and yawning in the restaurant so I am going to bed.  GOODNIGHT!!

Also, just because I didn’t mention it, don’t think I didn’t play with those dog for so long again tonight.  Now I am having to go for walks with them too.  It is just in the yard, but they want me along for all the fun…

Day 173 – The Day We Went to the Mall

So, this is a think I really don’t love doing.  I would much rather go to a stand alone store, maybe it is because it is just so packed.  Me and mom had gone up there to get her necklace that was broken.  The “fixing” of broken necklaces isn’t great and I had never known this, so I am pretty bummed that the necklace that I just broke, my (what I would consider) expensive one, needs to be fixed.  Booooooo!

Since mom was with me I tried to park as close as possible in a handicap spot.  There was one and right next to it was a regular spot.  I had to wait for a lady to cross the lane entrance and while I was waiting a car pulled up coming from the other direction and waited as well…  I will be damned if they didn’t take that handicap spot!  I was like, that lady is LUCKY there is a regular spot there because I would have said something!  Probably not, but still.  I have never had that done to me and it is annoying :)

I also went to my doctor today, got that out of the way while I was in town.  Makes me very happy.  Got some new prescriptions.  Hoping it will help with me getting like a dizzy feeling in the afternoons.  I dropped them off, but could not be bothered to pick them up – sometimes I impress myself with my laziness :)

We were supposed to have egg sandwiches for dinner, but we ate the rest of the sausage and gravy and that was really good.  Like a perfect amount for the 3 of us.

Alright, I have an early dentist appointment tomorrow so I am going to get to bed :)
