Lest you think I be a bitch and in the wrong profession, I have been in here since seven a.m., it is now 4:30 p.m., and I have had one bathroom break and nothing to eat.  I finished all the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

New mood blue mood.  Should have worked a few hours later last night kind of stress.  Need the money need to save my reputation need to squish twenty frames into two hours self accomplished stress and guess which customer is … Continue reading → Continue reading →

There are customers who make my day, become friends.  Then there are those that I’d like to murder with my bare hands.  One the other day, she hadn’t been in for a while so she must have forgotten her training.  … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I’m thinking this morning of tricks, planned events to make someone laugh.  Jim and I used to do this a lot.  The log behind my rear tire that I merely  gunned the engine and drove over.  His getting caught in … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Hot on summer plans that meander into autumn.  The gardens, new curtains, cleaning inside and out, getting caught up on picture framing.  And learning.  The writers conference in June, the relief of finishing the final science elective at Tunxis, getting … Continue reading → Continue reading →
