I always thought that I have the most unconnected random thoughts but it hit me this morning that I was wrong. This morning I saw lightning and was trying to think of a really cool way to write that down. The first thing to come to mind was, “I see fire and I see rain.” Completely in tune with my in head singing voice. I said to myself, “random.” It wasn’t though, fire and lightning or connected, then I realized no normal person would make that connection. It felt good to know that I’m not crazy.
I had a pretty good day. I drove out to my old job (it only became my old job less than two weeks ago) to pick up my brother, his friend, and to discuss reimbursement for my gas. See they pay me weekly for my gas to drive my brother and other client out to the center. I’m happy to do it because I get a break from my brother. Anyway, I get out there and my ex boss asks me to come talk to him in his office. Since I left, they’ve lost a few clients, one employee had been fired, and another resigned before she could get fired. When I walked into the client areas they just couldn’t wait to tell me all the gossip. My ex boss told me though that I look relaxed and happy.
Lastly for tonight, while having my why me moment yesterday I typed up the last blog post. I very good friend of mine found and sent me some information on a question I asked. I had actually forgotten that some of my friends are on twitter. But to you Felix, I say, thank you for being such a good friend. We don’t talk often but I really value you.
My shoulder is starting to hurt so it is time to bid you adieu for today.
I have been so busy. I have just been completely exhausted and unable to fulfill my blogging duties. I needed money so I got a job. Yay, right? Nope! I got the job and then didn’t have time to blog or read and it really sucked. The job kept me tired, sick, and busy trying to play catch up with everything that was scheduled in my life.
I did the only bright thing to do. I quit my job, which I’m sure was a great job because my blood pressure was regularly between 160 and 180. So now I’m back to no job but I have time, I feel less tired (face it I have three kids, I’m always going to be a little tired), but most importantly my blood pressure has dropped to between 115-120. Sounds great right? Of course it does, except I’m broke again. So I guess my choices are excess money and one foot in the grave or broke and alive. Darn it I guess I’ll take alive. I do have to go to the doctor and get my lab results tomorrow.
Well at least in the last week I’ve been off I’ve already finished two books and just finished a blog post.

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.
This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
It’s a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don’t come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards, David.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
I don’t have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend’s cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says “I haven’t seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?” you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
Regards, David.

I found this and laughed the whole way through so I had to find the source and give credit where credit is due.
I gathered this information as a type of commentary for what is happening now and has already happened with the tornadoes. I still have family in the line of these storms and am praying for them as I post this.
I broke my blog again. It’s not really my fault though. This, my final blog, has finally been transferred to the new host and in the process it all went blank again. I figured it out and also figured out that it wasn’t fixable. My SQL files were corrupt so I had to reinstall WordPress and am presently re-installing my plugins and personal preferences. I’ll have it completely finished by Monday. I’m so excited, like seeing cotton candy mountains all for me, excited. So here we go again but hopefully for the last time.
I'm just a mother of three taking care of my family hilariously and blogging about it to embarass the **** out of them. I watch too much tv, play too many games (video and mobile), I love tech, fast cars, often read too many books, and I blog badly. Plus I've got some minor OCD issues I think.
