Long time no blog! 

I know I've been away a while (like you missed me. LOL) but I wanted to check in and say 'hi', see how you're all doing, and let ya know I've been thinking about you.

I've been busy with the website - getting a lot of hits and reading requests, and I'm thrilled with it!  Problem is, I start this shitty new job tomorrow that I'm not looking forward to at ALL, and I'm gonna have very little time to do readings, or anything else.  Hopefully I'll at least have time to nurture this damn headache that isn't going away.  In fact, I think I'm going to hit the hay right about now.  Well, maybe I'll watch the news first. I've been out of the loop for a while.

Take care, and drop me a line!

Yep, the bastard fired me this morning. 

First of all, the reason I haven't been blogging lately is because I've been so totally consumed with all the crap they gave me to do, I just didn't have the time or the strength.  I'd come home from work in the evenings and whine to John about how they've all changed in there, and how they all have attitudes with me for no apparent reason.  (I think I did tell you how I got jumped all over a few weeks ago, and what happened after that.)  Well, it happened again Monday morning.  Not by the big guy this time, though.  No, the torture was instead carried out by his flunkie.  (I still think they're sleeping together.)  Anyway, the short version of that whole fiasco is that this bitch all but called me a liar straight to my face.  That was all I needed to snap.  I knew at that point it was time to start looking for another job.  (And I did.  Started looking.  Haven't found anything yet, other than the website I want to go full force with.) 

So anyway, things were going great today.  I was busting my butt and working my little heart out to meet all their petty deadlines.  Next thing I know, he calls me down to his office and tells me to have a seat.  Meanwhile, his Amazonian flunkie-bitch is sitting there staring at the wall, just like my dog always does when he knows he's in trouble and fears making eye contact with me.  So I sit down and he proceeds to tell me that my probationary period is almost up, and he just doesn't feel like it's working out.  (Yeah, join the club, chubby!)  He then hands me an envelope and tells me he's giving me two weeks severance pay, and he's sorry. 

You know what?  I'm not.  I mean, I AM, because my paychecks might stop rolling in every week, but the bills won't.  And believe me when I tell you we have bills!

But just last night I cried to God (I do that sometimes) ....and the day before, literally 'cried' out in prayer, asking Him to guide me, to put me on the path I need to be on, and to help me through it whatever it might be.  The next thing I know, I'm fired!  I don't GET fired, I quit!  But as I swore to my loved ones, I wouldn't walk away from this job no matter what (because I don't want to go in debt!) ...they'd have to fire me.  Well, they did.

And it's okay.  It's going to be okay.  I have to look at this as a sign from God.  I have to. 

All the people I've been doing readings for on Lisa William's website told me it's time to start building up my client base and charging for my readings (and that was before I got fired.  They don't even know yet.)  I wanted to agree with them, so I took the leap of faith and, as I said, I prayed for that sign, that push...  and I guess I got it.  I told God I was ready to work for Him, and to carry out His plan for my life.  I surrendered.  And fortunately it seems He took me up on the offer.  Now I just have to stay strong and not worry.  I have to keep my faith and KNOW that everything WILL work out and be just fine.  "If God gets you to it, He'll get you through it", right? 

Happy Friday, everybody!  Isn't it just gorgeous out there today?  (Smelling the weekend always makes for a gorgeous day!)

Anyway, it's Friday, and I have no desire to go to the club!  Aren't you proud of me? 

Well, okay... maybe I have a little desire, but I'm fighting it.  Now that I know where I stand with Troy (he still wants me! LOL) I'm going to try weaning myself from him again.  I have more important things to waste my time on.  I've concluded that either it's gonna happen or it's not.  And if when it does, it'll be because he came over and enticed me.  Not because we're at the club, and I'm shitfaced.  And FYI, even if John were feeling up to it, I still wouldn't go tonight. 

So on another note.... John is home sick again.  He was down all day yesterday, all last night, and will probably be down again all day today.  Those pills really messed him up.  Or should I say "that pill" really messed him up.  (I'd forgotten that he missed 2 days of work the first time he took it.  And that time he wasn't nearly as sick as he is now.)  He told me yesterday he was actually rolling around on the floor in agony.  He said "I thought my insides were blowing up."  Now, to help you better understand just how potent these Augmentin 875 are, you have to realize John's tolerance for pain.  During the nearly six years we've been together, I've already seen him get up and go to work with one foot in the grave.  He can handle damn near anything.  It's always been next to impossible to keep him down for any reason.  He's loyal and dedicated (which is why he's been at the same job for thirty years! ...That sounds funny when you take into consideration the fact that I'm only 34.  LOL!)   Anyway, he's feeling a little bit better today, but not by much.  Hopefully the toxins will be completely out of his system by the time I get home tonight. 

Next topic... our pool is up!!!  It's an above ground, 24" round pool, and it's fantastic!  Nothing too luxurious, but it beats the shit out of the turtle pool I'm used to!     We still have a lot of yard work to do before we can start building the deck, but I'm really looking forward to taking part in it.  (With the hope it'll speed up the process.)  I'm also expecting Troy to offer his assistance at some point.  (He always does.  Or should I say, he always used to.  Now that he and his wife have both become whores, we just don't see as much of him as we once did.)  I'm sure he'll be around at some point, though.  He did promise me, after all.  And we all know how meaningful his promises are...     

Anyway, I'll have to get some batteries for my camera tonight so I can take a picture of the pool and post it for ya.  That way you'll have a clear sense of our "before" and "after".  (The "after" is gonna be so awesome!  Hey --- I'll have to invite you all to our first big, back yard blow out in a couple weeks! 

Oh, and one more thing I wanted to tell ya ---- my website is finally up and running!  It's not done, though.  I have lots of changes and additions (and corrections) to make, but it's pretty well functional as is.  So if you get a minute or two, please check it out.  And make sure to tell all your friends!!!  www.enlightenedpath.net  And just in case Xanga throws out that link, it's enlightenedpath dot net.

THANKS!  Have a fantastic weekend!
