Oh my!

I can't believe it's been a week since I posted. It's been a crazy week, too. Still no word from the missing co-host. It's been weird in work, but I refuse to say anything to her about it, I think she's embarrassed and I'm not going to give her the out. I still have her beach towel, and she's got to ask for it back. LOL

I ended up at the doctors on Thursday - I've had this weird arm pain going on and it was bad enough Wednesday night that I gave in and made an appointment. What is it about the doctors that makes us not want to go? I guess I don't get it. Anyway.. I was thinking I was getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Maybe too much Bejeweled on Facebook? Nooooooooo...... I have a ruptured disc in my neck. Who knows how long it's been there or how I did it - but it's pinching the nerves and that's what's causing the arm pain. See? Should have gone sooner. Now I have to go to physical therapy and hope that works.

Only 10 days until I'm on vacation!! Woohoo!! The boy leaves next Saturday to stay with my father for 5 days, then I fly in and we head to Cape Cod. I cannot WAIT. I haven't been to the beach there in 2 years, so obviously I'm way overdue.

My good friend Movie sent me a message a while ago to call her. And I did. She went to a psychic, apparently a very good one, and the woman was throwing out names and said that Mary (my mother) said hello to Kathy (me) and that she was OK. Now, my mother and I were like oil and water. We didn't get along much - it felt like it took me having the boy for me to gain any kind of respect from her. When she died (almost 11 years ago), it was upsetting - we were just starting to get along, but it wasn't devastating (I feel guilty even writing that! LOL). She had cancer, I know she's in a better place. My aunt died 2 1/2 years ago, and she and I were very close. THAT was devastating. It was sudden, I wasn't there and it was just horrible. I was put on anti-depressants afterwards, it was just awful.

Now. Is it bad of me to have said to Movie - "what about my aunt? Didn't she have anything to say?" Instead of saying "yay! my mom said hi" I'm wondering about her sister. And it used to piss my mother off to no end that we were so close. LOL Oy vey. I'm going to be struck by lightning one of these days!!

It's finally summer here. I'm off to sit by the pool and work on my tan. :)

Manic Monday

Manic Monday

If you were to name the one thing you have the most compassion for, what would it be?
Kids. They get the short end of the stick so many times, it's not funny. I want to do something with my life that helps kids get into better situations. And peeps in general. I think that everyone deserves a break, and if I can somehow help someone catch one, that's a good thing. :)


It's been said that, "The best things in life are free." Do you think this is true?
Well, if my name were Jocelyn I guess this would be true! LOL
No, seriously - I agree. The best things in life are family and friends - and you don't pay anything for them. Unless, of course, well - you know. Your name is Theo and you pay for friendship. Nobody should have to do that.

What is the most valuable thing you own?
Like as in "hold it in your hand" own? Probably my camera is the single most valuable thing. But as in an all encompassing "own" thing - freedom. So many people take the freedom and liberties they have for granted, and there are so many others that don't have the freedoms that we as Americans have.
