Spiders and Nicorette

I think the nicorette gives me headaches. It's well worth it though because I haven't been freaking out and feeling all tight and like I am going to explode - with the exception of last night. It took forever to get home because it was raining. *sigh* I asked R if he would walk the boys, he said sure but that he was going to be pretty late as well due to traffic. I got home and decided to just take the boys out. So I did. When I got back home from walking the two crazy dogs I emptied the dishwasher. I then loaded it back up with the dishes in the sink. I then put away the dishes that were hand washed. Next I pulled out what was going to be needed for dinner (which required fetching a hard to reach item far underneath in a cabinet) and started the water all boiling for corn on the cob and egg noodles. After shucking the corn, R came home.

I once again thought about how he comes home and parks it on the couch. Granted the man said he'd take the dogs out and OFTEN helps out in the kitchen, but I was like Grr. That man is going to do SOMETHING aside from sit on the couch tonight! So I followed him into the laundry area and was like "Can you open a bottle of wine? I walked the dogs tonight as well as did everything else, I think it's the least you can do!"

Um. What? haha. Sometimes I really wonder about me. Anywho - he was like sure and opened it. I then said I was going outside to smoke before I blew a gasket. So I did, I came back in and I was F-I-N-E fine. No issues about anything any longer. I hate it. that is the WORST part of quitting smoking. R told me later that night that he was expecting me to be a lot worse, so he was pleasantly surprised. I am a lucky girl.

In other news, I think I need to get my tiny condo fumigated. I have killed 3 spiders in the past 2 days, along with the millions R has killed. I am quite sick of the freakin creatures to be perfectly honest. This morning one died by garbage disposal - which I left running for about ten minutes. I was putting that hard to reach dish away and of course everything came flying out from it's place and crashed down... I was moving a bread pan and saw a spider running around in it. I of course flipped the f out and dropped it in the sink - the spider had a nice bath til I dumped it and turned on the disposal. R came out after his shower and was like what are you doing??? since the disposal had been running awhile... I explained and he chuckled. I wanted to be sure that the spider fell into the disposal and wasn't hanging on to the sink wall.

Anywho...

I think I want to talk to a life coach or something. I want to get out of admin. I hate it and my miserable existence here. But this is not news.

HAPPY TUESDAY!

I hate spiders to and all creepy crawly things. Go to the hardware store and see if you can find some environmentally safe (for the boys) bug killer. They have to have something I hope.

I don't blame you about the spiders, you know me..I hate um.. Do you have a Career Center where you live? They may be able to help you. If you do...ask about a Careerscope...it could give you a clue of what you might like to do

Be careful with those spiders! Maybe a bug bomb if you can get all the pets out for a few hours.

If I don't feed the cat for a few days she's more than willing to dispose of a few spiders for me.

I hear ya, sistah. Admin can really blow. I miss my old job responsibilities. These new added on admin type ones - SUCK!

We just need to get you into something more worthwhile. At least you've got your wonderful couch potato R. Didn't the two of you have something cookin' career wise?

I don't like spiders. At all.
And I sometimes wonder about me in too in terms of the way I react with Da Man. Maybe we'll figure ourselves out one day.

Kristy, I hate spiders with a passion...a PASSION! I know exactly how you feel. Down here we have great lizards that eat them all the time, but once when I was painting outside, I noticed all the huge spiders under the eaves of the house and it freaked me out. They are useful. If not for them we'd be overrun with mosquitoes, so I'll leave them alone. Till they get into the house and then it is DIE MULTI LEGGED CREATURE DIE -- oh well.

Spiders? Get a lizard.

No, that last line is definitely not news, heh. :D ;) Although have you looked into trying to do more work from home?!? With gas and stuff, I'm thinking of trying to propose this for myself ... check out https://www.quintcareers.com/telecommuting_options.html

I despise creepy crawlys myself. UGGGGH. They make my skin crawl. Fortunately I have cats that like to play with little things so if ever one is around, it's not for long. :)

don't they have work conselor there somewhere?

Aw, spiders... feel free to pack 'em in an envelope and send them off to me. I like them... of course J doesn't... so he catches them in a cup and puts them outside. (Funny how I like them, but I just don't want to touch them. ) If you're in an admin position, I'll be you have all kinds of transferable skills that would work great in a number of positions. Just keep your eyes open. There has to be something out there for you. Speaking of which, here are a couple resources that post "feel-good" jobs... because ya never know.

Try to find something you love doing. It is hard. I only had one job that I loved in all my working life. It was a pleasure to get up and go to work in the morning. Things aren't really set in concrete, it just seems that they are and that you are trapped in a lifestyle you don't like.
In the meantime, carpe diem. It is sure easy to give advice.
