All your food sounds delish.  Michael cooks once a week too, it's called order a pizza!  Which is fine with me. lol

It's somewhat better. The family with 5 kids in a 2 bedroom above were moved to a 3 bedroom on another floor. i'm sure they are annoying other people as we speak.

The new people have one kid. We've been up to visit them to ask them stop bouncing balls on the floor.  That's somewhat better. We know the kid's gonna run around.. he's 4 but seriously people have some respect for your neighbours.  Anyway... you are kinda now trapped where you are due to rents .. who can afford to move anymore?

Hopefully, the new family are more reasonable (and sane) then their predecessors. 

For you and Mike, Im very glad they’ve been moved along, though I pity the people that have to put up with them now.

Well, a visit to the dentist resulted in my back on antibiotics and an appointment to have my fake rebar tooth pulled. Hopefully after 6 weeks of healing i will be able to get a replacement on a Maryland Bridge. 

Ugh...

 

oh, and i know how much you just LOVE the dentist. i do hope it's over soon and all heals well.

oh yes.. i love the dentist, but i do like this place we go to now.  they are really good and the dentist himself is plain spoken and honest about things.  He said Not gonna be a hero and tell we you we can try this first or that first. He said, it needs to come out and here are your options from the least to most expensive.

i like that .. just tell me straight out.  i can work with that.   So, not looking forward to it but it'll be a relief to have it done and get it over with.

I'm glad you appreciate me, boy.  It's my duty to look after you.   Lol.

This is my little indoor garden.. the big spider plant at the back, it about ten years old.  If you can make the picture bigger the two smaller spider plants in the clay pot and the small black pot tucked into the big plant are all babies ... i cleaned it up the other day and there were another 8 spiderlettes but i cut them off and threw them out.  More will come along with some pretty white flowers. 

The square pan has  oregano, thyme, parsley and basil.

That is beautiful, always good to have flowers indoors. I love the mini herb garden.

Have a good day you lot!  Happy Friday.

things i have learned this week

being good at something might make someone else mad, it also might not be good enough for others

good friends are ALWAYS just a text away

feeling like you have to do it all yourself is a "trauma response". figuring out what the trauma was is hard work

asking for help is hard, but the reward for doing it was some peace

anyway, happy Friday

It sounds like you're hanging in there and figuring things out. That's good. you're worth spending time on, and you're doing that.

My dad once worked at a site with a bunch of union welders (I like most unions, so this isn't a dig on them). He was self-taught, had no certifications, did a far better job, and worked faster than any of the other guys on the site. They complained about him repeatedly, and upon investigation, the manager realized they were pissed that Dad was showing them up. The manager asked if Dad could "just slow down a little." And Dad laughed in his face. "Instead of asking me to slow down, have your boys step it up."

It's just amazing to me that people are threatened by competence. And as for those who are never pleased, no matter what? Well ... some folks base their personality on never being happy. That's not your problem, it's theirs. I know you do your best, and if that's not enough, then they don't deserve you.

Happy Friday, molly.

this is true..  but i'm learning to do it .. and most people don't sit there and think.. OMG why is tim asking me that? Shouldn't he know that?    They just help you.

i know when i see others winning something that i want.. i don't hate them, i ask myself what do i need to do to get that thing.  That's the mature response. 

Hating someone for doing well is self-defeating and gives people the justification to not try. They are afraid to fail and so they never move on at all. 

There are people at work, that work differently from me.  They take naps during the day, they watch Netflix.. it drives me nuts, but I've also learned to keep my eyes on my own plate and just worry about my own job and if i can look at myself in the mirror and say.. you did good today, tim.

You're a hard worker. You care. You try... no one out there is perfect and you don't have to be either xoxoxxoxooxo

thanks Wayne. it's been exhausting and frustrating, and demoralizing and eye opening. 
hope you are doing well

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

was sent this by a friend thought i would share this.

going thru another health challenge this time i broke my right wrist and it is in a cast. want to slow someone down. yes, i’m right handed so trying to do everything with my Left hand takes twice as long.

i hope things are going better for you.

Enjoy the day.

Take care of yourself

[Reader1810]

@rickproehl I’m sorry to hear you broke your right wrist. I hope it heals quickly. I’m very much a righty, so I feel for you having to rely on your left hand to do things.

I hope you heal quickly. I can relate. I dislocated my right shoulder once and couldn't use that arm for several weeks. It's hard. Get better soon!
