It did kinda make me giggle that Jesus is going to recommended us to the spirit in the sky 😄😄 that just makes me laugh 🤷♀️ …because I have a visual in my mind lol
Anyway…
I got bad news yesterday.
Ya know was “Monday” – Mondays suck!!!
Well I don’t know how bad – but I have that pit of your stomach feeling?? I am scared for someone.
So I am just really worried. I want to be like – will be ok… but I dunno? And I’m scared
Just because I worry. I care about this person as a human being so … I would be crushed to lose like that
Something odd started recently, so is having checked. Nothing covid related – I don’t think – I researched the symptoms
Yes on Dr. internet lol … but I wanted to know what possibilities were – how bad could it be looking? – I am scared
The symptoms are scary – and I feel that heart bleed type thing, and the pit in my stomach – I remember everything and then to know the fear you face and know someone else could experience that…someone you care about, enjoy and respect!
So … that kinda made me little quiet yesterday – I had to absorb what was being told to me.
It’s hard to speak with those things and stay strong – not cry. I see on both sides – from one who cares and then also from one who knows that awfulness?? And I think about what that would mean
So I am just very sensitive there – I worry. I’m sure it will be fine. 🙏🙏🙏 I just hope.
So I just hope it be ok 🙏🙏🙏 but I’m still scared!!
And I have a lot of things happening surprise surprise .
I interviewed someone today. OMG… girl was punctual and dressed to the 9’s – I got my part timer for the high end 🙌
She wore a black suit and pearls – wicked cute – mid 20’s
Great career move for her – she’s perfect! We gonna grow her!! Extremely put together and classy!! Yup the high end home! She will love it there I hope 🤞
Ok and then here is something funny / I have a lot of women – I need a man 🤨🙄 lol that feels funny to say lol
But I need a man… I have a spot where I need a man.
So at 2 of the 3… I have man/woman, so that way we can give families choices as to which they are more comfortable with.
So I just need one man lol
That’s just soooooo weird to say lol
How do I find a man? 😄😄
One that can do this job and wants to lol … plus I’m gonna have to place him opposite a very strong female personality. I’m gonna need someone who is just as strong or potential to become strong
My phone rang about 5:30… it was him… and then he had a ton to tell me all about lol … and then he wanted to know a lot of things 😄😄
He gently kept tabs – man knows everything lol – nothing NOTHING gets by him!!! Lol I love that about him!!
Dude is on it!! Smart man.
I said – so you rested and ready? Lol … ohhh ok … and it’s on
And then he says to me how much vacation time do you have?
😳 ok well I have a lot but how am I supposed to do that?!!!
It will carry over but they don’t want that so… I have to use it 😮 or they really encourage and want me to lol
It’s just we have no upper management currently… and low staff so – who gonna do my job? That’s gonna pile up!!! 🤨
I will take a vacation to come back to crazyville!!! And bury myself 🤨 that does not sound cool and whole time that’s all I would think about!!!
So I don’t know… I have ALOT of time off!!! But when I gonna do that? 🤷♀️ and how?
I would LIKE to not be buried when I return lol … oh god
Anyway 3 hours later 😄😄🙌 ahhhh I have missed him lol – oh his communication level is seriously impeccable!!! Omg – you have no idea! 🙌
Not about stupid stuff. It’s all stories, information, details, happenings, ideas etc
I have not even touched surface of things while he gone lol … he knows bits and pieces so I fill him in little and tell him the happenings
We trade opinions on how to fix certain things.
He tells me of his stories or thoughts – it’s pretty bad ass and is never silence or weird
It’s helpful
He takes some of pressure off, he is easy to work with due to his perfectionism, communication skills, knowledge, etc … he is funny and also quite charming. Good man.
But we always talk a lot. I cut him off for two weeks lol … because I wanted him to relax and enjoy his family – not worry. I told him I would not text or call him while on vacation lol – I didn’t – but he called and texted me 😑 but he did not this week.
So we had and still have tons to catch up on and then watch… they will make me do my vacation!!! 🤦♀️ not yet!!!
Totally thrilled and excited and sense of strength back – yay!!!! 🙌
So I slept in until 8am this morning!!! 😮 so weird to wake so much later now! Like I missed a big chunk of “day” lol
But whatever – I am being slow and lazy – it’s a beautiful day ❤️ kind cold and freezing lol but beautiful 🙌
Windy, the wind chimes are clanging lol … the sun is just beaming 😁 ☀️🌴 … our high today is only 78 😮😳
When you coming of of 100’s and 90’s … 78 is freezing 🥶
I want to turn the heat on – but no … I just added clothing 🤨🙄 …ugh and here we go with layers 🥶
Can I have a GRADUAL descend? Lol
Ok. Here comes winter 🥶😳 how much longer til spring? Lol kidding I won’t start that yet – I am just joking – but only slightly …because I know I can’t start that yet lol ✌️ … but I do sorta already want that. Or just year round perfect temp – I would also like that lol ✌️
I wish I could grab the sun like that ❤️ I would really love that ❤️☀️❤️
But in winter…
I am not at my best when I am purple 🤨 because yes I do turn purple and blotchy … I am not a cold weather person… really at all 😮
Which is funny because I am also Irish … so I burn extremely easy and when the sun sits on my skin – I literally sizzle and burn, in seriously, only a few minutes!!! 🤨 YES… I said minutes 🤨
I also turn red really easy 🤨 I have 3 colors to me lol … my base color is white… with brown dots all over lol – so kinda I am speckled with all colors 🙌 lol
Then in warm sunny times – I can turn red – and that red can also be partially purple, depending on how bad it happens 😮 …let’s just not talk about that 😉✌️ (I still learn lessons, because I really want to believe – one day I can handle it!!) lol … every year I think that lol … I’m sure by now, my skin can take little extra – but no… I am swiftly reminded 🤨🤦♀️ (but just incase one day 🙏 I still wanna try lol) maybe one day life will be like… “fine just let her have it” lol (I have false hopes lol but just incase and I love to try anyway)
And then 🤦♀️ … winter 🥶…ugh it’s the worst!!!
I am white with brown spots but also weirdly red and blotchy with purple because I freeze!! So you must turn up the heat lol
I kinda see slight humor… only to “me” in odd way … when people use skin color for prejudice?? Because then I think to myself ?? Why would you think a certain skin better than another??? … because mine kinda sucks 🤨 skin is stupid and not even deep – we literally all bleed the same … and you really can’t totally change what you are given … well I want to say that… but I also live in California – so I dunno? The things they can change now 🤷♀️ – so in that case I guess – get whatever you want
Hmm… what color would I like if I could chose ?? Hmm 🤔
Well I don’t know the bad of the other types – I just know I burn … and peel and things 🤨 … so I would like to not do that. Or get the C word.
I would like to frolic in the sun ☀️ for longer than FEW MINUTES before burning … to NOT sizzle like a steak on a grill!!! 🤨
I need the vitamin D!! And milk doesn’t like me now! I also don’t like taking things. No supplements
So I would like to have a skin that makes me NOT burn!! I am soooooo jealous!!!
I would like to be sun kissed in different color than completely fire engine 🚒 red ✌️
You instantly know I have been outside 🤨 even for a few minutes… I really hate that
It’s not that I don’t love what I look like or who I am – I do 😊🥰 it’s what I got. Like everyone else you grow into it lol
But… just the burning thing is really annoying!! And I happen to live where fires are a thing, and I love the sun and heat 😮 California sun is intense!
Also would like to add having freedom, equality and no stupid political parties messing up my island – they can just stay on the mainland!!! Keep out!
Ahhh day dreams whatever – got lost there for a minute 😉 … it’s just the coldness is setting in and I am not done with the heat yet!! I also prefer to be eased into things not just plopped or all crazy! Slow and steady wins the race lol ❤️🙌 I am the turtle lol 🐢 …not the hare 🐇
So yeah I just like the transition a little slower and more gradual
But you don’t get to chose certain things in life – that’s just how it is. So just keep trying for what you want 😘✌️
Little side note story… when my oldest was a baby … and I first introduced him to carrots 🥕 … I accidentally turned him orange because I fed him too many carrots 😮 I did not know that happened until “that happened” 😮😮😮 I didn’t know you could turn someone orange lol – you live, you learn lol
I’m just saying nothing is ever totally perfect but is still amazing and beautiful.
Except the cold and winter 🥶… ok I just find dread there!!!
Ugh 😑 yes
Ok so we gonna have cold weather, I’ll be freezing … there’s gonna be so much death (please hurry! Do your shot!)… ugh and inside because of cold and possibly maybe rain? 🙏
But my rain is usually boring – just boring rain – no excitement to it usually – just maybe floods or something.
That’s weird?? I just realized something … I find Northern California rain boring… and the floods build up gradually
I like gradual because is moments of time leading up to something…
But not with Mother Nature – with storms I love the fierceness 😮 the power 😮🙌 not the destruction – I am just in awe of the power
I do not like tornados 🌪 – I am afraid of those. Too powerful!
I will never live in Tornado Alley – sorry I can not!! Off my list – I would constantly worry with every storm. Although your storms are incredible and beautiful – definitely a lure 😮
I do love hurricanes 🌀❤️ I love everything about a hurricane 😮 … except the death and destruction … I am not speaking on that – obviously I do not want that.
But I separate that from what the storm is – it’s an incredible weather event that I really love 😮 … yeah I don’t know what’s wrong with me…
I find everything about them incredible and beautiful 😮 the wind speeds 😮 it’s exciting to watch them grow – picking up speed over the warm water 😮
I’m sure my feelings are way different than most people on this.
I love the feeling when it’s coming towards you and you rush to board up Windows or hunker down anything you can – I love preparing for!
I love the little transistor radio giving the knots and conditions ❤️ repeating date time and conditions over and over for you lol … I love having candles and things for when the lights go out
The first part hits and sometimes really hard – you are just at total mercy of that power 😮
You can see and feel the fierceness! 😳😮
And then the eye 👁… is beautiful and calm … like the storm has passed and you can relax. The smell of the air, the silence, and the beauty of the sky … omg ❤️🙌 you step out and that air smells so amazing … and it’s just so calm as you look around and see what it’s done
But it’s not done, has a big finale as the rest passes over – back with the wind speeds and rain for a second hard hit – maybe harder than the first because already weakened and smacked 😮
I dunno? I just find that beautiful …but again only the storm – not the death or destruction – I am just in awe with that power and thrill
But I do kinda love the way people come together to rebuild or support one another afterwards… I love to see human kindness ❤️
I wish that was always and not just if you are sick or there is an event. But the comradery is also very beautiful ❤️ I do like when we be together with each other, rather than fight
Nor’Easters can be pretty thrilling also. (massive blizzards or snow storms) – I am just not a cold person, but I know those well.
Those are also thrilling if done right lol … don’t get me all excited and then don’t deliver lol … ❤️
I like severe weather (not tornadoes 🌪) and if you gonna make me be cold and have snow – I better be able to play in it! I want forts and tunnels and things – so I would like couple feet – make it worth it
(I wanted the “give it to me baby” part of that song – but then I got sucked in remembering the song – that song makes me smile ❤️ ok actually laugh – I forgot all about that song!) ❤️
Not sure why I love those things like that.
But I do also love boring normal regular awesome sun ☀️ – that’s probably my favorite – but then there is my skin issue 🤨 so ya know – you can’t totally win
Earthquakes are a whole other issue – I do not like those – I do not like that power lol
It’s too mysterious and unpredictable.
BUT … I DO find a beauty to it – in a certain way?? 🤨🙄 I can’t help it…
I am scared of it… because of the unpredictable power and possible strength …
But then I think about it’s process and what the ground is doing and why/how 🤦♀️ that’s where I find the beauty – omg in the science 😮
Ok so… there are things – like history and science that I love and bleeds into the way I view something
Heart things do that too but I am WAY WAY WAY more cautious there
I’ll take a risk on a storm, before I will do that with my heart 😮😮😮 whoa – I fear a storm less 😮😮😮
I can take any size storm (not tornadoes 😉) … but I do not like when the heart bleeds. So don’t do that! I have highest level caution ⚠️
I can read a storm easily 😮😮😮… people are iffy – I know the fierce I get with a storm, but you don’t always truly know people
Huh see how writing helps?
Interesting to think that.
What would I choose ?? Unpredictable earthquake or heartache? Hmm 😮 that’s more of a decision I have to think about. I might chose heart on this one? Maybe then I choose heart, when up against earthquake
Definitely choose heart over tornadoes lol ✌️🌪
Ok well I should go do stuff 🙄 I am behind on my own happenings and chores – bleh
I guess I am fall cleaning and preparing car and house for winter 😑 ugh dread – it’s cold today – very dramatic kinda dip there
“The Summer Woman” appears this week in the fall issue of the literary quarterly The Strand Magazine.
“The Summer Woman” was written in 1952. It tells of an American academic who frequently visits Rome and hopes to reunite with an Italian prostitute whom he had met and had financially supported in hopes of keeping her “off the street.”
“He could encompass five or six very important themes in a 3,000-word short story. And, in this case, the themes are love, betrayal, foreign policy, human relationships,” Gulli said.
The story parallels Williams’ opinion that the United States was not doing enough to assist the Italians following World War II.
“In in a letter that Williams said, theater critic, he was saying that unless we do more for these people, they’ll fall prey to communists or to extremists,” Gulli said.
I just copy pasted from that article from Boston. But that’s exciting – I can’t wait to read 😊
Weird how things get lost to time like that??
“The themes are love, betrayal, foreign policy, human relationships” … HA! Things just never actually change 🙄
Anyway just interesting – I love finding things like that ❤️
And then we have a huge huge one. HUGE! Sad and really sad 💔
So ok. Whew. We can get through it
Whew almost there 🙌 … it’s almost the best day of the week ❤️❤️❤️ ~ FRIDAY ~ ❤️❤️❤️
I think I actually can have weekend off?? 😮😮😮😮 we see 🙏
They hired the girl I liked on the spot ❤️❤️❤️ woo hoo!! I recommend and she’s amazing!
I need 2 more Full Time and 2 Part time … 🎲 🎲 c’mon 🙏
So many things. Ok well whatever
Tmrw I have to be somewhere else. Because of things. Sorry sometimes things must be cryptic out of privacy. Still work related but just different – because of things ✌️
Only diff is that I am woman but is same feeling 😘✌️
As we walking into the store my daughter says “Mum, you look really beautiful today” 😮❤️
Someone wants candy lol – kidding … I only tease – that was really sweet of her to say… I feel exhausted! ❤️ sweet to hear come from her ❤️
My hair was curled and make up perfect … form fitting black suit with skirt and small small small heels!! I do not like heels – it makes me WAY too tall!!
But I was put together today. 🙌 sometimes that works out lol
I dunno – so I am silent. Bleh whew. Ok well. What do you think ?
I like to be informed. I know he does – but if I inform him omg his vaca over – I don’t want to ruin life for him. I want him to have those moments with his loved ones – I know how hard this job is. I really want him to relax – he never relaxes.
It’s our lives but I want him to just have moments because those are also important.
I am not aggressively strong like he is – but around him he brings out a power? 💥 I dunno I feel safe and strong when I can turn to him so without that it’s really hard.
It’s also not as fun without him – some say he’s a hard ass – but I don’t see that 🤷♀️ I miss the every morning call to discuss every detail of the day and things lol … I have to coordinate with him so constant communication is key
His conversation skills are spot on. With literally everyone!
Anyway. I definitely miss him 😮 we really need him 😮
So… what would you do? 😮 do you speak – or remain silent and let it rain over me 😮
Btw… just to clarify something to be absolutely clear – not that I have to explain myself but whatever …
I enjoy him as human being, because he is amazing man.
I also very much appreciate his guidance in areas… he gives me perspective.
I appreciate who he is as a human being. That is all.
I admire others with same type of admiration.
That does not mean anything else just because he is man – so I am just saying… we work incredible together.
I need his guidance but I am torn. Ok. See do I take on to my shoulders because I don’t know I can? I don’t know what to say and he is a master communicator – higher than me 😮
He is our strength and then to put that on his shoulders ugh 🤦♀️ omg
Yeah I’m not eating!! 😝
Yesterday we came home early, ate, I just laid down for one minute and nope I am too old to do that now… I fall right asleep!!
My daughter woke me up at 11:30 when she slinked off to bed 🤨
But I’m so exhausted and beat that I fell back asleep. Omg
I could close my eyes right now and I’m not even laying down 😮
Well anyway… what would you do? If you were in my shoes – what would you do?? Seriously think and tell me lol – I need guidance lol different perspectives 🙏
So hmm 🤔… I have no idea what happened lol … omg … just so many things!! I don’t know if I can remember everything 😮 … let’s see
So I always seem to walk into things at just the right moment.
So I came down a hallway today and I could hear people talking about “ME” lol 😮😄 … was all good stuff … but still …
As I turned the corner, I was like “hello there” and laughed cause.. busted 😘✌️ I just tease 😉 it was funny
One of the woman was an Indian woman and she said something about it to me…
She said in her culture if you walk in exactly at moment you being spoken of – it means you have long life? Or good life?
Is that right? I don’t know if she was joking or not?
She was cute and funny 😄 we were laughing about stuff when she told me that, so I am not sure
I will take a long life or a really awesome one!! Either or lol
Not that it’s not currently awesome … but ya know higher level in different aspects ✌️😘
Ok so there was that.
Ok and then I am working on repairs and billing and reports and phones and death etc… whew 😳
I was just buried in paper work and then I had to stop and go to Carecenter for many things. So that stopped my progress but they need the help- they are overwhelmed – so I just help little bit.
It’s been crazy.
Can I please tell you to get the vaccine!! Please please please.
You have no idea so please 🙏
Ok so I’ll beg there for one moment … you do what you want – I can’t force you. I just say please. It’s not a joke and it is real …
This teaches you consequences – are you prepared for whatever that is? I don’t care if you work out or eat right… that doesn’t matter at all.
You need vaccine and also mask. Also hand washing!!
Winter is coming. Please 🙏
You decide your own fate. Is Russian roulette
Ok I have to switch subjects …
I have a new girl starting tmrw 🤨 I know nothing about her – my boss picked her 🤨 I’m not a fan of my bosses picks lol
Ok so we see. 😐
She just got cleared to start part time and starts tmrw … oh boy.. we have many services tmrw!! 😮 she about to get crash course in funeral homes … she either gonna fit in and swim or we see
If she is not scared off tomorrow then we see. She gonna have to jump right in.
Ok … it’s on baby girl – what you made of? Please let her be good 🙏🙏🙏 crash course first thing 😮 hope she is ready for this ride!! 😳😮🙏🙏🙏 pray for me!!
Ok where else can I post ad? For people needing jobs – don’t say Monster – because they suck!! I do not know what is the deal with people on there, but whatever
I just can’t
Ok I am doing Indeed.
I think my boss has on Craigslist.
Umm I have tried zip recruiter but … they are too expensive and also same for one other one that I can not think of at this moment.
Where else can I try?? Cheaply or free lol 😘✌️
I need to find more.
And then… on another subject … a contractor I know and use … every single time is flirty … I don’t mind flirty. I am quick witted, funny and I am also an ace of making sure exactly where to change that subject 😉
He says things – I basically ignore because “what’s this?” Words – big deal whatever.
Like last week I was talking about work things and he always makes it playful – fine whatever – I am also playful ish… I keep it always always always professional – my mind does not even go to anything except work but I am flirty “slightly” while heavily watching boundaries” lol 😘✌️
But then he says “I’ve been thinking of you”
And he trying to tell me he seriously does 🤨 no… no he does not. Trust me I know my instincts and my intel 😉
🤨🙄 no. This one is playboy… so whatever. Yeah lol… he thinking of me, I bet
He looks at me like he seriously wants to devour me!! 😳 ok see – that is hormones. Control them.
And then today I talking work again … and at first is all business … he calls me boss 🙄
And then he starts being playful again omg!! And I said well maybe I see you this weekend – because I have to work the weekend again 🤫
And as I’m getting ready to hang the phone up – he says “I hope I do” 😮🤨
No… no he does not. All he wants is to get into pants – no and sorry. This is The Challenge guy … so whatever… I don’t pay attention to fluffy things like that… smoke 💨 and mirrors 🪞
Yeah not even if the world was ending! 😮 so that’s a definite no.
Whatever
I don’t really play with those kinda things / I will keep professional and I just get quiet when he switches from work to that talk … then I quickly say “I have to go… thanks! Byyyeeee” 👋 lol
Yeah dude don’t even try. Lost cause already. Not my type. I’m good.
So there is that also.
💆♀️ I need a massage!!! But no
Oh and you wanna hear something hilarious ❤️❤️❤️
So you know the man I help at other funeral home…
😄😄😄
He is supposed to be on vacation lol
I specifically ordered him to not think about or check on work!! You need funeral detox lol … you just need to let go for moment
But it is his passion … he just really loves it 🙌❤️ that much
Let’s see he lasted about 3 days lol … but he had still been checking emails and watching our text messages on group text lol
The man does not know how to take a vacation lol – dude – I got you!! Don’t worry 😄 I just didn’t know he would cave so fast – I should have bet him money!!! Omg I would have won!!
That would have been too easy!! His passion is admirable but I want him to recharge. Come back like a bull ya know? Nice and strong … and boom with that attitude lol… just kidding … I enjoy him and I want him to recharge so he stay strong – I don’t want him burning out – and he really really deserves a break!
So anyway. I hope he relaxes. He is workaholic like me. Lol
He just worries cause things go boom – they will always go boom whatever
I got you – don’t worry 😘
He misses us – he can’t tear himself away lol
Do you see what death does ?? 😉 I love that he is so passionate!
But I don’t think he knows how to vacation lol 🤷♀️
I love working with him!! Just normal.. not any weird stuff.
Great guy!! Hard and caring worker!!
Anyway lol … people are funny … it is hard to separate yourself – you have to have a hard disconnect… but if you disconnect then you have to reconnect and not know anything lol
It’s just best to always know things lol … see!! But you have to!! It’s hard to disconnect because the business is important and he truly cares about his families and the reputation. See hard to disconnect …when ya know, it’s just hard
Ok well I have to sleep – I have to be at work even earlier for many services happening omg
I’m all dressed up and dolled up … in black… with black mask lol
I stopped in a store to buy coffee creamer because I need caffeine lol 😘✌️🤫
The woman at the counter says to me “I’m so sorry”
I said “excuse me?” Cause I didn’t know why she saying that lol
And she said “you must be going to a funeral”
Lol 😄 I said “Everyday – that’s what I do”
And then her face and she laughed – then she ask me for who and I tell her and then she tells me her experience with my company at the mothership location
I believe we are actually worldwide maybe or mostly – I’m pretty sure is in Europe too
But anyway was funny that she was like “oh I’m sorry, you are going to a funeral” lol yes yes I am always 😘✌️
