I am at work, and my ribs hurt from coughing, and sneezing, and trying to breathe.
My boss won't let me go home...
Maybe if I actually asked, he might let me go... I hope so. I just want to crawl into bed and sleep tonite, but not after taking my athsma thing, some echinacea, and some tylenol.
so much for not whining huh?
insert pause so bossman can read and object to the title...
my boss just said no. I refer to the title of this blog for the reason.
now he's trying to argue, saying he's only a half poo poo head.
Even the owner of the Extreme Pita said I should go home. She's nicer. And prettier, but I suppose my boss shouldn't be pretty...
I should make my boss sick, then tell him he has to come in...
Normally I would write about work on here, but this bossman doesn't really care what I say about him, including this. Besides, he knows I am joking.
Except for the being sick thing.
I want to go home, but he says I can't because then the guy who is coming in at 5.30 will be alone from 6.30 to 9.00.
Boo hoo, more sales for him.
Not like I get any at night anyway.
Blah.

Sunday, January 09, 2005
I am presently watching a news report on the stories from the tsunami that recently destroyed large parts of Asia, and drastically altered many many lives. There are so many that were killed as a result of the massive waves, I am not sure how to feel about it.
Of course I pray for the families that are affected, and the survivors that are at risk for so many more problems, like disease, malnutrition, infection, lack of medical treatment.
It really has put my whining about my cold onto a back burner.
It's amazing to watch the news about all of the other weird weather going on. Am I the only one who thinks that it is like a domino effect? There are parts of Europe that are flooded, without power, so far 15 people dead. Could this not be a side affect of the massive tidal wave that has destroyed parts of the world? There is weird weather in Canada and the U.S. Again, without reason. I see a link. Every time there is a huge meteorlogical (spelling?) 'event', I can't help but think that the worldly aftermath is as a result.
There's flash flood warnis all over America. Last week there was horribly unexpected snow storms. People were dying in California, I think it was, where in one day they got like 9 feet of snow!!! That is insane. There is a new winter weather warning in Northern California. They are using an old Howitzer to avoid fatal avalanches!
England has flooding. There is Avalanches in Utah. Flooding in the US, the OHIO River.
Ice storm in NC Indiana.
If you tally up the lives that were lost in the time since the Day of the Tsunami, all over the world, I believe they are all connected. The rest of the world will be a large number alone, but the loss in Southern Asia alone is devastating. Add them together, and it is something they should consider.
When huge oceanic plates shift, causing a tsunami, is there really any wonder that it could cause world wide havoc...?
This is my random ramblings for today.
I am a little out of it today, so this post may not have had any real 'flow'. But that's okay. The Echinacea should help. I have a really bad cold, have had a sore throat, cough, aches, head ache, congestion, sniffles, sneezes...
It's a combination Chest and Head cold. It really sucks.
So this is why I won't be visiting my Aunt, Uncle and tiny little cousin, until I am 100% better.
I am going to go now though, and go visit Chris at work. He got called in because someone else didn't show up, again.
I think I will go find some Chicken Noodle soup while I am down there. The mall has some really good little restaurants, but I won't go to the Polka Cafe. I have heard that they discriminate against ethnic, and especially Native, People. I don't want to support that kind of thing, so I will avoid it altogether.
I may not look it, but I am part Native, French and Dutch. I am proud to be, and do not put up with that crap.
I just typically don't put up with crap, period. Espescially from people who treat other people like dirt.
Warning, I am a bit of a feminist. I like to think of myself as independant, strong, confident, and tend to intimidate. I find it funny if guys are a bit afraid of me. I strive to correct that if I notice it is like that, I would rather be approachable, a friend to these people...
But I will not put up with guys who are chauvinistic. I can do almost everything a guy can do, save for nature's restrictions, including my height, amongst other things. But guys can't do a lot of things women can. Although I wonder if they would want to .
Going to go now... tired and stuffed up and stuff to do...
I wonder if anyone actually reads this???

Good to be home...
...And then go home.
I was with my family from friday the 31st, to the morning of the 2nd. Since last year, you could say, hee hee...
I got to hang out with Patches, and go see Pookie's grave. It is so peaceful out there, I can't wait for summer to go visit for longer. It was too cold to stay for longer than 20 minutes, and I decided not to bring Patches, though he would have loved the walk, because the snow would have been deep enough, and it was cold enough, that even wrapped up in his sweater, he would have frozen his cute little paws in no time. Not to mention his other parts that I am sure he considers very important as well.
I had a great time in C. L., and relaxed a LOT!!!
Thank you, Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother! I needed it. I didn't get to see much of my sister though, because she had to go back to work, and she works late shifts, and more than one job, so basically I haven't seen her this year. I had a lot of fun on New Year's Eve, though. Mom and Dad must have spent a lot of money on everything, because there was cheese and ham sausage, pepperoni, lots of fresh fruit, with a fruit dip, vegetables, beer, Dad's homemade wine, Champagne for midnight, and who could forget the fondue. We didn't, and don't really do the traditional cheese or chocolate. We fill the fondue pots with oil, and deepfry raw chicken, beef and pork. We also had cooked turkey, which we then battered in Dad's homemade batter, and cooked into childhood memory inducing Turkey Nuggets. Still just as good as when we were little. That was always my favorite part of any turkey leftovers. They still don't compare to Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, buns... oh, I am getting hungry.
Yeah, so needless to say, I ate A LOT!!!
I also helped myself to the Pot of Gold Chocolates that were laying around, and the other assorted junk food, and also probably needless to say, I feel like I have probably gained about 10 to 15 pounds, and I don't really care.
To me, the holidays are about spending time with my family and loved ones, and that is what I did. We hung out and talked and watched most of the first season of Corner Gas, a show that 'makes fun of Saskatchewan'. I feel it makes fun of Alberta too, and in a good way. I have noticed that most Saskatchewanites actually thoroughly enjoy the show, and have a great sense of humor, like Brent, from the show.
The trip home, well, I wish I could say it was uneventful. Jarrod's Parent's asked him to stay behind, and they would send him home on the bus later, and so he did. I think that as a result of this, and other contributing factors (leaving Cold Lake again, going back to Edmonton), I had an anxiety attack.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL READERS. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
I started to get nervous at Jarrod's house, where we stopped to say goodbye, and I felt ill. After using the washroom, I decided it was definitely time to go, and because we hadn't yet eaten, we decided to stop and grab something on the way out.
I got a Chicken Noodle soup from Tim Horton's. Chris got some of those disgusting McGriddle things from McD's. We parked briefly to begin eating, until I decided that if we sat there any longer, (we had barely sat for 30 seconds) I was going to be sick, so we started to drive. I was tired, and continued to doze a few times, each time awaking feeling ill.
I hadn't yet eaten my soup, because I felt like it wouldn't stay down. That was a good thing, because I awoke, felt really warm, took off my jacket, and asked Chris to pull over. As he was slowing down, I begin to be ill, and thankfully it was only the milk I had before I left C.L. and acid, which really hurts, by the way.
The kind of weird thing, was I had a drink of water after, and it tasted very sweet. Kinda gross actually.
After continuing another few km's, we stopped to finish breaky, and I finally ate most of my soup. It really helped.
At Smokey Lake, I had a Del Monte Frozen Fruit bar. They are so good. Kind of expensive, but so worth it. They are always my 'Road-Trip-Treat'. I always get them from The Smoky Lake Shell, where we always stop.
We have tried to stop at the Fas Gas a few times, but they don't have them, as well as a lot of things, and for some unknown reason to me, I don't like going to the Esso.
And thus ends my anxiety attack. Something comfortable.
It is actually a lot worse thatn it sounds, and if you don't know what to do when someone is having one, it is entirely possible that you might drag it along and make it worse. Chris, I am not saying this about you, I am just stating this as an awareness for anyone who happens to be around anyone who may be having one.
Heads up: best things to say: 'It's okay', 'You're okay', 'It'll be okay'.
So definitely need to go for acupuncture. That really helped me out before I moved to Edmonton.
But I need to go get cleaned up, and meet Chris for lunch. It's my day off, and he's at work downtown.
So, I will talk to you later, after I try out my new Yoga mat, blocks, staps and DVD's!!!!
Thanks again Mom and Dad, Joy and Willy!
I'm going to go buy new clothes right now! (With the gift card from Joy and Willy!)
Thanks for a great weekend!
I Love you all very much!
Me. (The little Bratty Girl...)

A good day!
Hello out there.
I hope that everyone had a great day, and cannot wait to see my family next weekend!
Today, I woke up late, and putzed around for a few hours,then at around 1 oclock decided to have a shower after Chris' parents called to say they would be here within a couple of hours...
Yeah, so in about an hour, Chris and I completely cleaned and organized the house, and so now I can see the bedroom floor, and the kitchen table. It is kind of scary.
And, go figure, it has been 5 months since we've lived here, and Christmas is the first time we actually use the kitchen table.
But when we move, we will definitely keep it cleaner. The townhouse is larger in square footage, not including the basement. And it is much more accessible. One block from my job, and same to the main LRT station for the area, which is where the other two will need to go to get to their jobs, which are on the route of the LRT. If that made any sense at all.
And there is lots of shopping nearby, and that makes life real easy...
Yeah. We just need to get our crap together and apply.
:)
Moi.

I finally had a real day off today. Except for the fact that I was going to go in at 10 to open the doors so the other workers can enter... but was called after I was on the way, my boss came in, so I wasn't needed. It was nice.
So I putzed around all day, and we went out and had a great supper at Chili's where I have never been. I had a good steak, it was delicious, but only because of its superb marbling (Ribeye) and quality. The marbling I spoke of was also LOTS AND LOTS of fat. And this was the leanest of the two cuts I was deciding between. But still one of the best steaks I have ever had.
Nothing tops Dad's cooking though!
And I get to see my Mommy tomorrow! Good stuff all around!
I am going to go though. We are going to watch a movie, and then go to sleep...

My Boo...
...came to see me today...
I was at work, and no customers were around, just my boss, Dave and I were talking... I was telling him about Pookie, and the horrible experience that resulted in her physical life being taken away, and mine being changed forever. This, also, was right after I finally published the last blog, during which I cried, a lot. It wouldn't publish properly last night when it was written, so I did it today at work.
Anyway, I was telling him about her, and all of a sudden one of the tables that we stack out lots of deals onto started to shake as if someone had tripped into it. It made us both jump, as it was 10 feet away, and there was NO ONE around. I immediately went behind it to see if there was another reason, and neither of us could find one.
I believe that it was a sign that Pookie came to see me, to let me know that it's okay.
And even if it was something reasonable, like the floor shifting, which it shouldn't be to that extent, I don't care. I KNOW that Boo was with me today.
I also had a lot of deja vu today. More than normal. Thought that was interesting too.
Gonna go, have to prepare notes for the meeting I am doing on Saturday.
Thanks for visiting, Baby Girl, I love you, I miss you, I can't wait to see you again. Please give me signs more often.
Love, Me (the blond girl that gave really good scratches and massages).

The Stare That Breaks Me
I miss my family, I miss setting up the Christmas tree, which I don't even know if they did. I miss the daily anticipation, as it gets closer to Christmas morning, even as we get older, and we spend less on gifts, and more thought on spending more time together.
I miss the smell of decorations, the look of the tree at night when it is the only light, besides the tv, and the sound of the Christmas carols that Mom likes to play.
There's times at work when I am just about to cry because they insist on our playing Christmas music from Dec 1-25. The thought of spending Christmas Day with anyone besides my Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, and Patches, well, it breaks my heart. It also reminds me that Pookie will not be there, and I don't care if other people are sick of hearing about me missing her. You know what? I loved, and still love her. I saw her get killed, and felt like it was my fault because I opened the door. But that doesn't matter to me. Because she may be gone, physically, but I know she is still here. She still visits me. I pray for her, and to her. I ask her to watch over my family, because I can't. Because I can't visit them, I ask her to. And all of this together is going to make me cry. I have been waiting for an opportunity to set up my tree, but I don't know if I want to. We don't really have room, and I am getting depressed already.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately, and have been leaning towards going to C.L. for Christmas, but I may be going alone if I do go. C will be spending the 25th with his parents, and the day before, and probably after too. J probably has to work. I kinda wanted to leave Christmas eve after work, and go to C.L., and leave either 25th night or 26th morning, but I don't want to drive in those conditions by myself. And it looks like neither can go with me for New Years either.
I miss my family so much. I am only three hours away, and it is so rare that I see them anymore.
I am sick of going down for so quick of a visit, that Patches will barely, kind of, not really, warm up to me again, and I leave again and he gives me the LOOK. The stare that breaks my heart.
Patches, I wish I could stay. I really do.
But I am going to go to bed now, so that I do not end up late for work. Big visit by head honchos tomorrow.
Yay.
If I don't get to see you guys, Merry Christmas. I am sending all of my love, hugs, squishes...
I wish I could be there, and bringing dirt pie.
Now that I am older, I want to go to the family get togethers and can't.
argh. Theya, it doesn't get easier. Feel blessed to live the good life right now.
I will talk to you all again soon.

To sum it up, lots of hours
Wow.
99 hours. That is how many I have worked since November 29th. And I have yet 36 to go. In three days time.
My head is going to hurt come Christmas, but especially this time of year, we are going to need the money, and particularily because our lease is up at this place, and we were looking at getting something cheaper... or at least more transportation accessible.
We are looking at some townhouses that are 1 block away from my new store, up by 140th Ave and 42nd Street, and should be cheaper, especially if I don't need to have my car running every day!!! That would be awesome. And it is right near the end of the line for the LRT station, and would make it easier for both my roommates to get to work than if we moved somewhere else.
It is near a grocery store, lots of major roads, some serious shopping areas, like COSTCO!!! And, also blockbuster, Roger's Video, There's banks, and like 3 Tim Horton's, and I haven't yet seen a McD's besids the one in the W/M that I refuse to visit, because it is evil. My boss made me accompany him there to buy some stuff for the store, and it reminded me why I dislike it so much...
Wow, rambling!!!!
Going to go, it is 2 a.m. and I have to get up at 7ish, to leave for work at about 7:45ish, so I can put in lots of freaking hours today too...
Wish me luck, and hopefully soon some sleep. I am off on Sunday, and I think I will throw away batteries from clocks that day. And shut off the electricity. Or maybe just the alarms.
Anyway...
Me.
Soon I will be rewriting a long emotional blog that I had written a few days ago. When I tried to save it, it erased it all, so I gave up. It seems all of my really emotional ones do that.
But alas, there will be another day.
To sum it up:
I miss you, Pookie
I miss you, Family,
I miss being home,
I miss feeling home
I miss my car
I love my Family, All of it,
I am proud of my family
I am glad to be a part of my family,
I am glad to have such a great family,
I love Pookie, and her baby boy, Patches
I can't wait to go to bed now.

this cat is bored
Some cats work, some cats play.
We are now overstaffed at my job. Isn't that great?
Oh, well.
I am still working 72 hours a week, just so I can get a decent paycheck.
Long hours+ not much sleep= cranky me
It's fun though. ANyway... gago.
