So tomorrow’s my birthday and I finally have something to do. I’m going to see my dad. I’m going to have my oil changed and maybe watch a movie. Well, they think we’re going to watch a movie but I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. I don’t want to be out that late.

But I had birthday today with mom. She got me a cute little kitty card and a amethyst cross. I’m going to wear a purple so I can wear it tomorrow. Its sparkley. I love it. Now I have two crosses to wear. They’re both gorgeous. I got a card from my sister. Its got a bookmark in it. So that’s cool. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings.

Last night. I went to Angela’s after work to have dinner with her and Kevin. We went shopping for the party and made dinner. We got ready for the party. I did the brownies, the cookies, and the cheese and pepperoni platter. Oh yeah, I did the cracker plate, too. It was a lot of fun. There were about 9 or 10 people there and we played mafia and werewolf. Well, they played mafia and I narrated. Then they played werewolf and I watched. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of fun. I got to see a bunch of people that I haven’t been able to since I can’t go to church there. I really like those people. I wish I could see them more, but they live on the other side of the city. But the important thing is that I had fun and I stayed to the end.

So we had a meeting today. With the new manager. I actually talked and asked questions and took part in the meeting. Well, it backfired. Every time I asked a question it would end up with a lecture from M on things that I already knew. I can’t figure out if she was trying to make me look stupid or not. It didn’t work all the way. I pointed out something no one else noticed. Something very important. So that was good. But M tends to lecture. I was joking about strangling the mail room for not getting me the checks today since we had to do a deposit. That turned into a lecture on how I would have to copy the checks and do them later. Which isn’t true. We did end up getting the checks and I already have them coded. Just need to copy them and do the deposit. I’ll have it out on time. I also said in the meeting that I never had nothing to do. That I always had refunds to do. I heard L talk to D and say that something about someone saying that they had too much work to do. I heard D say that that person should just ask for help and that she’s not that overworked. However, I never said I was overworked. I just said I never lacked for work. There are days when I am overworked. Lori should know that. She got caught out trying to do my job the two days I was out. She couldn’t get it done. I’ve always been able to get it done. Not to say that the day won’t come that I won’t be able to do it. With open enrollment coming up and the possibility of getting a lot of dunning letter returns and apps with live checks - it could be hard, especially around the tenth. Hopefully, all these letters that we’re sending out telling people that they are sending things to the wrong address will do some good and the check count will go down. I got a lot of refunds done, but there are a lot more to do. I’m getting them done. And the return check letters. Those are getting done, too. I hate them. Luckily, S helped me with them yesterday. She did the copying. I have about four or five to do from scratch. I have a couple of members that I need to call. Well, three. One of them is dead so I’ll be contacting her emergency contact. I really don’t want to do it. They’re people who sent in payments to PFFS that were supposed to go to Rx. I have to call and see if we can transfer that money from PFFS to RX. *sigh* I guess I’ll do it tomorrow afternoon. Well, its time for bed. Good night.

So I’m still waiting for that one phone call that I’ve been waiting for for three weeks now. Yeah, I still look for it. Pathetic, isn’t it? I texted E. No response. I called An. No response. So now I have no idea what I’m doing tomorrow and Monday night. *sigh*

I got this from here.

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Christmas Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn’t taste like alcohol at all. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.

Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees

that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: “Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight.

I love you, darling!
Love,
Jillian”

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, “Son…what happened last night?”

“Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door. Confused, he asked his son, “So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??”

His son replies, “Oh THAT!… Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, “Leave me alone, I’m married!!”

Broken Coffee Table $239.99

Hot Breakfast $4.20

Two Aspirins $.38

Saying the right thing, at the right time . . PRICELESS!!!

I’m sitting here at the computer thinking about life. I don’t know what to do. My mom is really depressed and I don’t know how to help her. Not to mention that its depressing being around a depressed person. One of the reasons why I absent myself from certain events. We had a fight about doing the trash tonight. I suppose I ought to feel guilty, but I just feel tired. Its hard to deal with depression, whether its your own or someone else’s. However, I’m not going to give up on her. She never gave up on me, though others did. How can I do any less?

Nope. Still haven’t heard. I’m giving up hope. I think. Its hard to give up hope, though. More tomorrow. I’m exhausted.

I just spent the past 2 hours uploading the new version of Word Press. I’m exhausted. But so far its working. It just took a while. There were a lot of files to upload. phew

Mom and I went to the Primanti Bros tonight and we weren’t impressed. They did have awesome flat panel tvs. Last time I checked, Penn State was losing 7-6, but we didn’t stay for the whole game. Mom wasn’t terribly impressed with the pastrami sandwich. There wasn’t enough meat and what meat there was wasn’t evenly distributed. I definitely did not like the Plenty of Pasta bowl. I didn’t like the sauce and the pasta was very tough. The sauce would have been better on a pizza. The Italian bread was dry, too. We won’t be going back.
