Getting ready for Sandy

It is hurricane season again.  Apparently this hurricane is super big.  I am slightly nervous,  but I have done all the prepping that I can think of.  Obviously, I am sure there is more that I can do.  I am making sure that the cell phone is 100% charged, the hand held game devices are charged ( that's not a real necessity, but it will give me a bit of peace when the children are at their wits end when we lose power.  I gassed up both of the vehicles and I have a good deal of canned goods, including Spam! I have a transistor radio, candles. lighters, many flashlights and batteries and lots of water.  I will probably fill the tubs with water later tonight.   I am mostly concerned with heat... I don't have anything for heat, except a lot of blankets.

It is currently rather windy and rainy, nothing too bad just yet, hopefully it stays this way!

It's hard to talk to a psycho

I realized this recently.  I don't know why I think that people can evolve and actually understand how life really works.  Sometimes though, you run into a psychotic, egotistical, lunatic who thinks the world revolves around her.  So I will officially give up. I can not waste my energy on someone that is so vacuous. It is a shame and I worry that if something happens again where I need to call for an emergency that it will have bad results.

I never thought that things could end up this way, but... it is what it is and there is nothing that I can do about it. It makes me sad to see things so fractured, but this too shall pass.

Quitting my job

It isn't an easy decision.  I think I have a lot of people's dream job, who wouldn't want to work for Nintendo?  But I have a couple of bosses who live with me, and they pay in hugs and kisses and smiles and tears and giggles.... you get the idea.  I will miss the extra money but the reward is much better  staying at home.  The past couple of months has been so stressful.  So, so stressful.  I feel like I have had a little bit of a setback with my PTSD and I am trying to work through it as best I can but I can tell that I am a little off,, so I can try to focus some much needed time for me as well.
