Well another lapse in posts. We are 3-1/2 weeks into the lay off/unemployment. I must say that I am starting to feel a little unsettled. I know intellectually we are going to be fine but it is the small reality in my head that keeps sending little fits of insecurity through me. Luckily the relationship is able to handle it. We are both trying to be rational enough to understand where each others irrational is coming from and so far it is working. It helps that Steve has stepped up and helped out around the house quite a bit. I must say I haven’t gone into the grocery store for 3 weeks now.
I found this picture so fitting because the retards in Washington and the duchebags.. woops I meant Tea Baggers are playing games in Washington while so many suffer because there are no jobs.
On the other hand, last week was a fun week at work because I got to install and set up a Business Objects Enterprise server and we had a couple of consultants come in and work on a proof of concept for my company. IT was great to feel useful and interact with consulants. It also made me miss consulting …hmmm.,maybe…????
By Thursday there was a little sadness that I encountered. I finally made an appointment with a doctor for a complete physical. (not the sad part) I went mostly to relieve some of my fears about my memory loss I was encountering. Because I watch way too much Grey’s Anatomy and my grandma suffered from Alzheimers; I was feeling like I was getting an early onset. My doctor didn’t seem to agree but we will see what the futre of the test results reveal. While I was waiting to give blood my nephew called all upset and he just kept asking when I could come home from work. I finally got him to calm down enough to explain to me what was going on. He explained that his pet rabbit Roger was dead in the back yard.
It was his rabbit but my dad had adopted it and it lived at my parents home.
I have to admit I was really sad myself. I used to call him ‘my bunny’. I would always enter my parents home from the backdoor so I could visit the little guy. He would always come to me because he realized I was the one that would dig his favorite pieces out of his food to give him. So I went to help my nephew bury the rabbit. I ended up having to call Steve to come help roll him up in the blanket I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
The week was topped off by a nice weekend. Lazy with just enough of things to do that it didn’t get boring and it went by way too fast.
Steve and I decided to do a lazy Friday night topped off with Real Time with Bill Maher. Saturday we woke up and went downtown to the SLC Farmers Market.
We bought some fresh tomatoes, basil, bread and garlic. Saturday night we went to my cousins house for dinner which was enjoyable. Unfortuneately, the 2 cats and dog has played havick with my allergies.
Sunday we went out for 18 holes.
It was at times frustrating; it was also enjoyable. I do love the sport although I am struggling again with my driver this year which tends to throw the rest of my game into a roller coaster ride. We finished the weekend with homeade briscetta and pasta, pinot grigio and True Blood and Entourage. This is the greatest way to end a weekend and gear up for the following week.
