What’s going on recently.
Friends: I am outlining an entry. Working title: What We Did in Sedona - all about the stuff I did with my girlfriends at the beginning of June. I am still basking in the glow of being around friends, as complicated as they may be. It was medicine for my soul. I need to do it more. I’m also looking forward to [Athena] coming to stay with me over the 4th of July! And I’ve scheduled another brunch for this Saturday. It’s so good to be around people! My friend Diane is moving away, but that’s just going to force me to make more friends and plans with them.
Work: Head Cat is suuuuuuch a pussy. No pun intended. He is truly the WORST. He is about to fire his eighth assistant since I’ve been with the company (little over 1.5 years), and he is such a wuss that HE won’t tell her! Instead, he put it on Kitty Cat’s list of things to do. I’m serious when I tell you that just two months ago, he couldn’t sing this assistant’s praises enough. He’d say that he wished everyone on his team was like this assistant, and that we all sucked and she was the BEST! And literally said, “why can’t everyone on my team be like her?” And now, he’s firing her (but making someone else do his dirty work). He is an absolute piece of shit and I’m starting to hate him. Now, he’s made an alliance with the fractional COO who is also a piece of shit. She is this woman who has taken our company on as a client and throws every bit of her work onto the team - especially ME because I know how to do her job. But then she BLAMES the team for any part of HER WORK that doesn’t get done! She has caused so much chaos in the last few days and the team is like, WTF? Didn’t YOU say that YOU were going to do XYZ and you just didn’t do it?? All this woman cares about is being Instagram famous. And she’s a super bitch…pretends like she’s a girls’ girl online and clearly hates women. She is BFFs with Head Cat lately and they are both now sprinkling the company with shit dust. It stinks over here. I need to replace this negative energy with renewed focus on my next move.
Family: Went to see my dad (and the rest of the fam) on Sunday for Father’s Day. The good news is, they are nearly all moved back into the main part of the house. If you remember, they added on a small apartment to their house so that they could move into the apartment when my bro and SIL and niece moved in a couple of years ago. Mom’s dementia caused her a lot of confusion and she couldn’t remember WHY they were in this tiny apartment and demanded her room back. So the move has happened, though things are still kind of torn up between the two living spaces. Since my bro and SIL don’t share a room (they are still talking divorce but not doing anything about it), my SIL got the short end of the stick because she has to give up the primary bedroom she’d been living in. But again, my bro and his family have been living there RENT FREE for three years now. So, when mama wants to move back into her old room, mama gets to move back into her old room. Sweet Dad is still pretty much taking care of the whole crew, bless him. They are thinking about getting a little more help - maybe 5 days a week instead of the 3 they currently have. Especially now that they have more house to take care of. Dad is getting weaker. Mom has turned into a child and expects to be waited on hand-and-foot. As poorly as I talk about my bro, I’m so glad he and his family are there. We had a good visit.
Body: Things are good. My squamous cell carcinoma surgery wound on my wrist has healed very nicely. I don’t think it will even scar since there are so many freckles on my wrist (that’s what happened with my Moh’s surgery on my shoulder too - the freckles have camouflaged the scars!). Still putting nice things into my body and keeping bad things out. Still working out with consistency, though it’s been rough the last few weeks - there have been days where my body told me to sleep in a bit, and I listened. But those were sometimes the days where I didn’t get a workout in. It’s a balancing act. Oh, and I do need to take action to find a new primary care provider as well as a dentist and I desperately need to see the eye doc as well. So…there are things to work on. Always things to work on. I will forever and ever be a work in progress, but I’m happy right now. I can’t complain. And the nicer I treat my body, the more it loves me back. I’m 100% ready for nakey time if I should ever find someone who interests me.
Martini: I told you Martini wasn’t doing well, right? Like, I was freaking out that she was dying or something. She was stumbling around like she could barely move after two days at her daycare. And then, she kinda got better. When I dropped her off to go to Sedona for 5 days, she was doing really well and was excited to be with a new little pack (oh yeah, I told you about …Porn Star, the sitter!), and Porn Star was sending all kinds of fun pics and videos daily. I was so relieved! But on the last day, Martini got lethargic again. And the blood tests hadn’t come back. So my last night in Sedona kinda sucked because I was worried about her. Anyway, the vet finally called and said her bloods were normal, but I told him that something was definitely wrong, so he prescribed gabapentin. Long story short, after another week, she’s back to being a puppy again! I feel like maybe she strained her back or something and it just took that long to heal? Poor babe. I also note that she can’t handle the heat of summer very well during the day, so I’m taking her on super early morning walks, and they seem just fine. I’m just so happy to have her back and not in such a sad state! Poor girl!
I have other things to say, but work is bugging me.
So I’ll go for now.
I love you,
GS
