Its Just Not the Same..
As is customary in my life, I worked the holiday. I had the privilege of driving to work and being the only car on the road, a sad reminder that the rest of the world was still at home, sleeping in, smelling turkey roasting, anticipating good food and football and maybe even napping...
The day was uneventful. Even the inmates had turkey dinner. It smelled really good.
Tomorrow Dana, Bre and I are going to have "thanksgiving" dinner. But it won't be the same.
Someone remind me again why I became a nurse where there are no weekends, no holidays and no appreciation for what we do???

Brutal!!!!!!
Today was my first workout with the trainer that I hired.
I need to have my head examined! LOL I am paying for this??? It was rough, it was rougher than I thought it would be, but I made it through it!
My trainer is a doll, he is a very gentle guy, who his actually the head of the department at our gym. He was my sisters trainer, but somehow, I don't think he put her through what he put me through tonight.
We did upper body training, push-ups, pull-ups from standing on a big machine, we did pull downs and lower body stuff with weights, we did the step platform, and bouncing an 8 lb medicine ball, just to mention a few.
I may not be able to raise my arms tomorrow.

November 12, 1977
A day that changed my life. A day that dawned bright and early and sunny and beautiful, my wedding day...
I was young, very young. Just barely turned 20 and ready for a fantasy life with my groom. It was a fun ceremony, until his friends filled my parents car with horse manure and hay. And until the same friends used WHITE SHOE POLISH all over my brand new orange car and ruined the paint job...
And until we had a huge fight while driving to Denver for our honeymoon. Of course, he was upset over things I didn't understand and, of course, it was all my fault.
If I were older and more mature, I would have realized my mistake right then. I had faith in marriage and "to have and to hold forever and ever amen".. I was a fool.
After 21 years of fights and screaming and verbal abuse and finally, physical abuse, I finally escaped the hell that was my first marriage. I had been beaten down to the point of no self confidence, I hated myself, I gained 125lbs, and I had not been happy in many many years.
So, I took Breanna and I ran. And we hid, and on January 18, 1998 I filed for divorce.
THAT was one of the best days of my life!!!
My message to him.. I loathe you, I still cannot say your name, for what you have put me and Breanna through I am sure you will eventually pay. I believe in Karma. Your day will come....

Time Marches On..
I can't believe its been over a week since I posted on this blog. It seems like the days all run into each other and I don't have the time or the subject matter to post every day.
For this, I apologize.
I do have some things rolling around in my head. come on in....
1. I am an educated person, majored in Political science in college (before nursing) and I am also a legal nurse consultant. I love law, the judicial system and criminal justice. That being said, I just don't get these Occupy wall Street protestors. I think their endeavors are falling on deaf ears. I guess its their constitutional right to assemble, but I don't get it.
2. who knew the professional basketball players were thinking of going on strike? Not me. :-) now, who cares??? not me :-)
3. I am ready for winter! I have had about enough of summer like weather. bring on the snow!
4. I want to vote on abolishing Daylight Savings Time. The powers that be almost put it on our ballots in Colorado but it didn't make it. I think they think the voters would vote it out! LOL
5. Why aren't they making good movies anymore? If I see another animated movie being premiered, I am going to explode.
thats not all thats in there, but its all I have time for...
peace y'all.

The storm was a bust!
The huge winter storm that was predicted for our area last night was a big old bust!
The weathermen predicted lows of 26 and highs today of 49. The actual low was 36 and high was 60.
I wonder how much they get paid?
