Happy Saturday!

Hi my OFF family:

Well, one good thing yesterday: My Cymbalta refill didn't cost me anything. I was surprised but very happy. I think it's because my deductible is filled. Good thing, because the first fill cost me $429.

Not much happening otherwise. Work was OK, other than waiting for sports stories to come in. Kinda bored waiting. And one of the games (the Cardinals) went into extra innings, so I had to fill that spot with something else.

Oh well, off to bed. Chat away, I'll check back later this morning when I get up.

 Good Morning Eileen,
Today I say "Goodbye," to my grandchildren. I'm sad about leaving, but ready to go home for good reasons. I have two doctors appointments next week, and one is the ENT doc who will finally look at my CT scan of my sinuses. 

So, today has me heading to Pittsburgh to pick up Utley. I'll have breakfast with my son, Sean on Mothers Day. 

Love to all,
Trish

Tri**** is so hard saying good bye to those grandchildren. I leave and usually cry the first hour afterwards.

I wish you the best with your appointments next week!!

HUGS and LOVE......connie d

Morning OFF family...

Well yesterday turned out to be one hell of a day for me! Seems that somebody told one of my dear tenants that I said she was a ***** and needed to be in a nursing home! HUH????????? They also told her that Rick is ALWAYS drunk on the job and never does anything and makes Randy do EVERYTHING!!! Again HUH????????? I was so upset over this that I called my boss and told her what was going on and broke into tears! She told me not to let this bother me because it was NOTHING!!!!!!! These tenants can be brutal and will do ANYTHING to get to me. She asked me if I knew who it might have been that is starting these rumors and right now I have no clue. All I know is this poor woman is NOT a ***** and I would never say she is one!!! And as for Rick drinking...he NEVER drinks on the job!!! He busts his ass every day and then some!! He never stops even after its time to go home to relax!!! Boss is coming monday and talk to us about these tenants and how they are. In the meantime she said to calm down. Well it was hard to do trust me. We have done nothing but try to make everyone happy here and take good care of them and this place since we got here!! And this is the thanks we get. Guess it doesn't pay to be so giving to these people. Just not in the mood to be happy to any of them right now or talk to any of them either. Just want to be left alone.

Bought some dirt last night for the flower/vegetable bed here at our apartment. Not sure why they dug it out so deep but we are going to fill it back in so we can plant some flowers in it and some veggies. All the apartments haves shrubs and flowers around it but ours. Weird.

Well time to check out FB and then see what to do around the apartment while Rick is sleeping in this morning. Have a good day. Thoughts and Prayers for all that need them.

HUGS

Judy-

Hang in there.  In a community like this rumors will fly all over the place.  My money is on Randy since you've said that Rick has had to make him do some things over or you made him do some things over.  The important thing is to make sure that the boss is happy and has given you measurable goals to meet.  As a retired manager of 43 people I can tell you that not everyone is going to be satisfied all the time.  Just breath deeply and keep hanging in there.

Judy....hang in there sweetie!! Like Cindi said, my first guess was RANDY......he isn't happy. Why people always try to cause trouble is beyond me. Guess they are jealous of you and Rick. Jealous of the great job you do and the respect you get from others!!

Love you...hugs....connie d

I agree with the rest, Judy, it's Randy. ... or as you are dealing with seniors, sometimes you have someone with dementia that has these issues. But I'd go with Randy.

Good morning, ya'll.
Trish, I'm sure your leaving for home is bittersweet.
Eileen, so glad to hear your RX was free this time. Drugs are so very expensive. I don't know how anyone can survive without a drug benefit in their insurance. Especially us "older" folks.
Judy, sounds to me like whoever is spreading these rumors is a friend of Randy's. I think you have mentioned that HE is not as dedicated at getting the job done as your DH. So perhaps someone wants the boss to think the opposite is true. BTW, when I type your name it is very hard because I am used to typing it with an i not a y. My daughter has insisted on the i since she was about 10 years old.
Speaking of my daughter. She is still waiting for her future ex and his lawyer to decide who and when they will go to mediation. They decided the county's free mediator just wouldn't do!! Of course, with mediator rates and lawyer's rates SHE will be paying $1100 for each session!! This divorce she thought was gonna be quick and painless is turning out to be anything but. She did tell him that she is running out of cash, and unless their lawyers were gonna work for free, they better be selling some of their assets. Like the damn Lotus that he only drives in the summer and then only about a dozen times! Everytime her lawyer reads an email from her she is billed for .01 hours!!
Today I SWEAR I am gonna finish sewing doll clothes! I keep going through my fabric boxes and finding bits of fabric I think is just too cute NOT to use. So, I make another outfit! Can we all say OCD?!
Gotta run. Prayers for everyone who need them. Happy thoughts for everyone on here, whether you need/want them or not. I am really missing some, like Monica.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Carolyn.....so sorry your daughter is having to pay such horrible fees to attorneys. Guess it will be worth it to get it over with. Her soon to be EX sounds like a real work of art...UGH!

I would love to see the doll clothes you are making. I am sure they are just beautiful!!

HUGS......connie d

Carolyn, my brothers both went through messy divorces that were supposed to be quick and easy. My oldest brother and his ex had assets to divide, and he lost half his 401k and stuff to her and had to pay alimony until she remarried (which she never did); my other brother and his ex were supposed to share a lawyer and go through an amicable divorce, but she dragged her feet and nothing was getting done. She wouldn't do anything to get the house ready for sale, her lawyer never moved on the divorce, he kept getting angrier at his ex, who said she was afraid to be in the same house as him (although he wouldn't touch a hair on her head) ... and then she started telling lies about him. So finally he got his own lawyer, even though he couldn't afford it, had to borrow the money from my mom. And then she wanted to declare bankruptcy, so he had to, also.

So much for an amicable divorce, huh? It's been eight years and they'll talk if they're in the same room (both brothers) but there is no love there anymore, not even friendship, as there used to be. Divorce is ugly. I don't recommend it. My oldest brother lost a lot in his divorce, but he is better off. He has remarried and Margaret is so much better for him. She is wonderful. My other brother is better off even though he hasn't remarried. Your daughter will come out of this but it will take awhile. Hang in there, Carolyn.
