I had no idea that it was already labor day. The time has been flying by with all the
crazy working 12 to 15 hour days all month and not having had a day off since
July. When I realized this was a holiday (last Wednesday) I told my boss
that he can pick for me to work either a few hours early Saturday morning or I
will be on call on Saturday but come Sunday and Monday that phone is DeeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17430907365562575021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130432034274763849.post-79290690923015693352013-08-25T21:11:00.002-07:002013-08-25T21:11:03.508-07:00Perchance to Dream......Had a lovely dream last night that found me awake in the wee hours with a smile on my face. Fell asleep again to restart where the dream left off..... and it turned into the oddest thing, nearly a nightmare. I do not want to go to sleep to see that place again.

There was a bit of a back story to that whole rat tale. It was before the whole rat incident. It was actually a huge part of why I was too
tired to deal with the mouse traps that night.
It was one of those events I alluded to.
I didn't tell it at the time because I was not sure I wanted to tell it
at all. I am still not sure I want it

Some of you have noticed I have not been around, some noticed and made contact in other ways,
and some will only notice when I mention this fact.
Part of the reason has been that we have been crazy busy at work. With a launch coming up things always get a
little crazy to begin with but we also were moving our shop to a new area and

I never really thought about how I came to these conclusions
before until I was talking to a friend tonight.
The conclusion being when you decide to take a leap of faith and make a
life change how do you decide which way to jump?
Most people have not been doing the same thing their entire life. If we think about it, we have actually done a
whole lot of things. Most of DeeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17430907365562575021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130432034274763849.post-35196760923521377092013-02-20T22:13:00.002-08:002013-02-20T22:13:09.634-08:00Resigned
I started out in May of 2007 as I expect most everyone does
with some altruistic idea of making a difference in my community. I can't speak for everyone else but I know
that this was why I got involved, I certainly had no intention of becoming a
"politician", I simply wanted to contribute to the greater good of
where I lived. Over time, that concept
would be more and more difficult DeeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17430907365562575021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130432034274763849.post-10854901121665279742012-08-27T13:12:00.000-07:002012-08-27T13:12:01.468-07:00Urgent Note Regarding Chronic Pain and Vitamins

A very long time ago, my dad had a horrible accident. It almost killed him. After a long stay in the hospital he finally came home.

One thing that could be let go of is the feeling of resentment towards those who have interfered with your plans in the past.

Generally gently prodded by an adult until we begin to remember to say it on our own. We can all remember a time when we said or heard someone say a very dutiful “thank you.” Somewhere along the way, we come to understand the meaning of that word and our “thank you”s begin to have a bit of feeling behind them. <?xml:DeeAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17430907365562575021noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130432034274763849.post-22331864627592337592008-03-03T21:05:00.001-08:002008-03-03T21:05:49.010-08:00Old Skool Red NeckI know it is hard to believe this but there was a time when I did not have a stove or an oven.
