Happy At Last

Saturday, December 05, 2009

I was not happy this morning. Last night my son decided to tell me I had to watch the puppy, my grandson and the cat Mija was pet sitting for. I was not happy. I do not appreciate it when they assume I will watch everyone. He had to teach. Mija had a craft show. So I got stuck. I was hoping to be able to work out today. My son said that I would not get the option. SO even though I had to do it today I was not happy. But I got a reprieve, Mija came home early because they had a low amount of buyers at the craft fair. So when she got home by 2, I asked if I could use the car. So I got the option to do my swimming. I went alone and swam for 90 min. So now I am happy things turned out better than I expected for today. I feel so much better when I am able to take care of myself. It is nerve racking when my daughter in law offered to pet sit for a friends cat for the whole weekend. and them I get stuck doing the job. Would not be so bad but I have to take the puppy out every 2 hours and the cat keeps trying to go out the door and flee. Plus my grandson is able to just open the door when I am outside. As you can tell I get stressed with all this responsibility. This cat is weird it come in my bedroom in middle of the night wakes me up trying to play with my feet. You can tell I am not use to having a cat. All this is things I have to deal with living with my son for the winter. It is hard when I am trying to learn to take care of myself and I cannot do it because of things out of my control. So here I go again venting here to my friends. Have no one else to tell. Thanks for letting me share.

I am having one of those days. It is my sisters birthday. Her hubby found her a house to buy today and they were signing the papers. I am happy for her. As me I am fighting the banks and credit cards. I got a bill I owed $40.00, on this bill I sent payment out on 3rd of Nov never got to credit card co. till the 24th. I got a late fee of 15.00. I just cannot believe this credit service. I called them and they were terrible to me. It makes me so mad how they toss your hard earned money around. This is a lot of late fee for me. I had to make 3 phone calls and I am still in a mess. I now am worried about the bill done yesterday with the bank because this one could end up doing the same thing. Just gets me in a terrible mood. So here I am venting. I have back spasms and I have no idea why. It is really making things worse with this stress. Just learned I cannot go swimming too. So my day is really ruined. What a mess.

I know exactly what you mean. You want to send it out so that it gets paid in a timely manner but some times it never happens that way. So you have to keep calling til you reach someone that really wants to help you. This happened to me but I call & tell them I would hate to have to cancel this card with you guys & that normally gets them moving. LOL Good luck with them, they can be shameless.

i'm sorry you're having such a hard day. credit card companies can be so heartless when it comes to those late fees, but they are in it to make money. i bet your back spasms have a lot to do with the stress you're feeling. i hope you can find a way to relax. Report Inappropriate Comment

Sisters

Tuesday, December 01, 2009

I have six other sisters. The one I am close to has her birthday on Friday. She and I will be the same age for three weeks. We were both born in December. I talked to her via Skype today she is in NV I am here in SC. Last year we spent the holidays together her husband was overseas working. She is a great cook. I had a great time. This year I will be alone for both our birthdays and the holidays. Things are always different for me. I get depressed around the holidays. There just are too many negative feelings from old memories. I call them bad tapes that are in your mind. Wish I was in Palm Springs again. There I had a great church and I sang in the choir. was a blessing and very uplifting. Oh well as I said things change. Hope you all get what you need and desire on these holidays.

May you keep making new and happy memories to make this month special! I know, that's so often easier said than done. Another Sparker said to me recently, Baby Steps. I laughed and laughed, cuz I had flashbacks to Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss, that movie was so funny. Report Inappropriate Comment
