Good morning from the fringe, I am at odds with myself today, I have to clean for Mary today but our boss wants us to go to this meeting, she was pissed the last one we didn't go to, she hadn't said we had to go last time, left it to the other cook to tell us, but she didn't enforce it. So this meeting comes along, send an email never put a thing on it not a note nothing, so last night I get a text that the boss wants us to go to this, strongly encourages it. That's fine, but I work, I can get out of it but I lose 20.00 by going to this un paid meeting. what to do.
I am going to the gym today to do an aqua hiit class, not sure what it entails but I will let you know, Had to shave, i'm getting those old lady legs and arm pits with not much and most of it is gray,
Well off to start the car, as it is hovering around the freezing point.
Have a wonderful Tuesday,

Another day in the search.....
For truth and beauty, thank you Gerry Ellsworth,
Gerry was a friend and fellow alumnus of my school, he would visit the school often and recite this phrase everyday, Ahh...another day in the search for truth and beauty. I am carrying on the tradition.
It is Saturday from the fringe, I slept late, I don't feel great and it is cold. I am whining.
It was a good work week, only three days thanks to the Monday off for MLK day. I am glad it is my weekend off, I have no plans for anything. I do plan to do stuff though, Seems when I plan nothing gets accomplished.
My niece goes back to school on Sunday, she scheduled her driving test, not until april so she has time to practice, she hasn't been doing any driving, can't three point turn, parallel park or any of the fun stuff. Should be interesting.
I did not talk with her as I had wanted as it would be a waste of breath, I am praying to her father and grandparents to get her to see this person she says she loves is not the person for her, why you may ask do I know he is not, he is a cheater, a drug and alcohol abuser, a mental abuser and not sure maybe physical abuser to her as well, she will not say. The little she has said, makes me KNOW he is not for her. She claims he has 'changed' . Maybe, but I don't think so we have been here before I don't think he wants to change, just like her Dad, he likes his drugs and that unfortunately is a bigger thrill than my niece. I am so worried about her, she threatened suicide because of the way he made her feel, shouldn't a guy you claim to love make you want to live to see all the sunsets and rainbows? To love everyday and want to succeed? Yeah I thought so. So I pray, and yell at her Dad and my Mom who did love her to help as my niece will not listen to her Mother or me, maybe her friends in school will help by reminding her that this person is scum.
I'm cold as I sit her writing, it(my weather station) says its 70 in here but I have goosebumps, maybe I am anemic.
Well off to put on a sweater, find something to do,
Will see you on the fringe,
Susan

Start of the three day weekend
It is Saturday, very snowy/slushy, have to go to brother #1, which is down a very steep hill! Thought I might go to a swim meet this afternoon, I will wait until a little later to decide!
Haven't kept up as much as I wished to, 'it' life has gotten in the way, working sometimes really sucks. I was hoping for a snow day last Wednesday but it didn't happen. It is fine, I just like those bonus days!
I will be making cookies later as I got my new scoop, still have to get it but I got a text that says its ready for pick up. It will make life of the baker in me easier. I am doing cookies for the auxiliary and this will speed things up.
I need to knit and to make my aprons as well, a busy weekend is planned,
Well off to start it, I already separated the puzzle pieces to begin that later. Now to breakfast, more coffee,

Tuesday, what can I say….?
I missed writing yesterday, I was exhausted from work, amazing how being away, not talking with a lot of folks and then going back and chatting, talking with the kids and walking on that cement floor, my legs and feet were killing me, I cleaned for Roz, then home and trying to go get my mail, I thought I was never going to get up those stairs. I did it, I took some ibuprofen and felt better.
Today was more of the same, maybe a tad better,
Got some sad news, my sister-in-laws Mom passed away this morning, not unexpected, but still very sad.
It was minus 5 degrees here today, its only 11 right now, I have my sweatshirt on and the thermometer jacked to 74 and I am still chilled. I hate being cold, and I hate being hot, but I prefer hot over cold.
I am going to bed early, as the last two nights have been late ones. I am tired.
well not exciting, but I wrote,
BS not taken
weight not taken,
temperature -5
Until a warmer tomorrow,
Susan

Day three, I'm on a roll
Good morning, it is cold and windy, we have very little snow thankfully. Last day of my vacation from school, I have nothing planned today other than work on my sister's fingerless glove, I have one done. I meet with them next week and want to have them done. won't be a problem.
I put the screens up in the front windows as when I sat there there was a breeze. Up until a couple weeks ago and even Christmas it was warm enough to open them. I'm afraid those mild temperatures are over. until spring.
Finished that book, Anything For You, it was just a really unnerving book all the way through, I knew it would work out as they always do. I need to find a new book to listen to, right now I am re-listening to To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer, a very good listen.
I need to write thank you notes today and letters to my soldiers. Also need to send my volunteer hours to the Auxiliary and DAR. I will get this all done so that I can start my week fresh, Monday's are always good for a fresh start.
New year, first Monday, clean slate!

Day two of a long year
Good morning, 37 degrees and breezy, overcast and looking a tad dreary, it snowed briefly last night nothing measurable.
Well already I surpassed last year and that with this post I will have three posts!!
I am listening to a book the recent addition to the Blue Heron series by Kristan Higgins, I was so looking forward to this book, but so far I am on chapter 16 and I have been on edge for most of the book, I know it will work out in the end but I fail to see how. This isn't the greatest book to start my year with, I am feeling so low down. Stop you say, yes, I should but I need to finish it, and know that they will be ok in the end. But, seriously why so much trials and tribulations? I will re listen to it as I do most of my books, I re-hear books at night so I don't miss anything in the middle when I fall asleep.
I have to clean for my cousin today, don't really want to, but I have already put her off, and I am running out of vacation. Next saturday I am lunching with my niece and sister, possibly lunching with a friend on sunday and then cleaning for another cousin after. I am busy but contemplating taking on another cleaning job. I don't need a stinking day off.
Real work starts back Monday, chicken nugget day! Three,six, nine ten. that is my way of counting the little nuggets. I miss the kids, I get exasperated with them at times but for the most part it is good.
Payday is Friday so that is a bonus, I just typed this without looking and without much backing up to correct!!
I need to go finish breakfast and take my pills, everyday since the 12 of November, I did take it late once but still took it, it is making a difference.

A Brand New Year Part Two
Here I am again on the first day of the new year 2016, I did not write on my 2015 blog at all besides day one, hoping to change that this year. I have an extra day to fill as it will be my 14th birthday in February.
I did not buy my house, still want to though, I did not learn to type with out looking, well I can (but I go very slow and miss some letters along the way,) In parenthesis was typed with out looking.
I lost my Saki March 30th, she had been slowly going down hill since Crane died on October 29th, 2014, I think she was depressed and old, she missed being 14 by 2 months. I miss her and Crane so desperately, I miss having a dog, but I am not getting another any time soon, I still have my cats, Lilly, Callie age 10 Bob, Mitchie and Doofy age 4+ they will be 5 in May and Mattie Cat who will be 2 this spring. I have two upside down catfish and a glow fish, George, Griffin and Goldie.
I was going back looking at old posts, on the first day of a new year 2013 and I am re-posting it, unfortunately it still fits
So goodbye 2015 hello 2016 lets hope that next January 1, 2017 I will not re-post this, I am going to change my ways and be the 'strp-off-the-fringe' person I want to be, Baby Steps..
Until next time my lovelies…..

GOODBYE 2012 AND HELLO 2013....
MY WISH IS THAT I DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING FROM YOU, IT IS TOO HEARTBREAKING WHEN I GET TO THE END OF THE YEAR AND GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE THAT NOTHING I HAD WANTED OR EXPECTED CAME TO FRUITION ....
I WILL SURVIVE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN... IN LIKE ..FOREVER.
ONE MORE YEAR..ANOTHER HEARTACHE AND STILL LONELY.
WELL THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE AND BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL GO ON....
FROM THE FRINGE...STILL
