I don't pretend to be who/what I'm not. I will be honest here unless I publish under the category "This could be news," which is 99% fiction and a wee bit sarcastic. ;-) I want readers who come here to have as much fun as I do. Not all subjects can be fun, but most can be funny if I do my job right ;-) My inner child is reflected in my logo and will change at a moment's notice.

Threat Level Rising

Threat Level
Today's Level: Blue

My day started out well. My blood glucose level was in the desired range and my body was able to move less painfully than usual. I even looked forward to my day at work. The deadline on project A was met and I was free (for a few weeks anyway), to work on project B.

Blue was not the level I left work in, however. I spent hours trying to fix one little bug. To say that I’m stubborn, is like saying the Al Qaeda is not fond of the USA.  I spent five hours, out of nine,  tweaking and trying again. I could not let it go. I was so focused on the damned thing I forgot to go home on time. This really pissed me off.

I don’t dare start working on the bug-from-Hell tomorrow morning or nothing else will get done, and by the weekend things could reach Level Red.

That would be bad.

Crossing the streams kind of bad.

“Well, at least the pressure of an undefeated season is behind us now…”   – 49er Faithful

“Aw, Shucks! That Sucks!”
– Former 49er Cheerleader

That pretty much sums up my feelings about today’s outcome. Both teams played well, both made a few mistakes. A good game until the 49ers ran out of steam in the middle of the last quarter. The Cowboy’s had more stamina than we did so they were able to keep on getting ‘er done – until they won. Daggnabbit!!


I guess we better do some work on our endurance, huh coach?

Even though I’m not having much fun now, I know that once I’ve made it to the other side this crap will go away.  At least most of it – please Lord?!

Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary and my man gave me what he gave me last year (a card) – minus the card. Sigh. He should be living in fear (there are 18 reasons now), but he is too clueless to be afraid, and that really pisses me off!  (19th reason).

Perhaps he’s not afraid, because he leaves Weds. to spend a week up at our new place working on his shop (a.k.a. Man Cave). He will have a whole week without his menopausal woman and I bet he is looking forward to it, the brat! (20th reason). He forgets that I will also have a week without supervision. A week that I can get rid of crap he will never use, but won’t toss out. A week to weed out ridiculous clothing. Oh yes, and a week to go shopping for my anniversary present.  😉
