Where has the year gone?

In the blink of an eye seven months has passed as if we were standing still.

I can't believe we are in July already. 

Oh July...a month for years that I couldn't wait to get to - now simply turned to a month I could care less about.

My birthday is on Wednesday - a day I know I won't be interested in celebrating.

What is the point?

There's no use pretending. The best thing for me now is if July disappears as quickly as it came.

And as much as I hope you have fun during the 4th I must admit I am dreading hearing the sound of fireworks. It's just not my thing anymore. Such a ruined holiday, the excitement was ripped from it.

In other news - our mobile grooming friends told my mom that they were making a donation in Lola's name to an animal society nearby. They loved her and she loved them too. Hell she loved everyone she met - except...one person. She didn't like him. And she made that known by peeing on him the time he chased her around the room with a remote control car. And that was the end of that. Single parent life.

Our outage at work began last Saturday and ran until yesterday. When I reached last Sunday I had worked 70 hours in one week. Yuck! I don't miss those days. Those were the hours I worked at my old job. And I was happy to get away from that. And when we ended this week it was 57 hours I think. I swear when I woke up this morning it felt like I had slept for a day. But at least it kept me busy, my mind busy. That's why I've been missing for as long as I have. Literally only having enough energy to shower and climb into bed. So I apologize for my disappearance.

It's pretty cool how accomplished I feel by just moving furniture around in a room, organizing, cleaning, etc. Everything in its place and it just looks so good. I feel like I did something great, something to be proud of. I gave myself a little pat on the back when I left work last night at 6:30pm after rearranging the office. 

In the end when I stood back and looked at it - it was worth it. The struggle of moving filing cabinets, the strain of removing racks and bookshelves. It needed a new look, something fresh and this was it. 

Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya!
