I don't blog anymore.

My computer is still confiscated by one husband of mine. But i have a hand computer and a computer at work. sooooo i suppose it's only fair that he use it--seeing as he's starting a business and all.

I've missed 2 days of work for snow days out of the last 3 work days. That's pretty noteworthy for Louisiana. I never had a snow day in Minnesota :) You were expected to risk life and limb to show up where you needed to show up to. But they've closed the bridges aaaaand closed state offices. So i guess i shouldn't feel so much like i'm playing hookie. but i do! there's no snow on the ground. just sleet and ice, i suppose. we'll see about tomorrow. right now the bridges are close and state offices, too.

but i'm missing friday for a thing i have to do. and maybe an hour or two (or 4?) Thursday for something leading up to that thing on Friday. sooooooo. this week was a wash.

we went to grand isle last weekend. it was nice. i didn't want to go because it was icy and we have a lot going on and stacy had been out of town and blah blah. but i'm glad we went. charlie finagled his way around closed bridges and highways and got us there. he's really a good driver. it was freezing cold when we got up (too early) on Saturday morning to go fishing. i was really grumpy. but then it kind of warmed up... and we had a nice little spot to ourselves... a pelican made friends with me... and then we started catching fish. we had a really fun time. it was a restful weekend.

i've felt bogged down lately. i'm hoping it's a phase i'm working my way through (not quickly enough!) but we shall see. he's got the whole picture and i just see a 1'' x 1''.

Yesh.

Charlie's computer died. So now I don't have a computer. (Charlie has forcefully taken mine). (Why won't he just get an iPad?) (you know he never will). (Just hoard my computer). (Until the end of time).
My friend from grad school died. On mawmaw's 90th birthday. It makes you think. I'm still trying to process.
Today I yelled at a group of employees. I'm sure I'm on the infamous "list" now. We implemented something new and I got yelled at. So I hollered back, "we are going to have good attitudes and we are GOING to try this new system for a while". Then I marched off. Oh, and my face was beet red. Those 3 management classes I took in undergrad and grad school  REALLY paid off.

hmmmm

what to say?
yesterday, charlie and i completed our holidays.
A week with Charlie's family. A week with mine.

it was awesome. and i am. so. tired.

i'm sure they are, too.

i'm also frustrated because i've been sick now since Christmas day. i had a little reprieve in there. but not enough of one.

i'm frustrated.
and feeling bad makes me more frustrated.
does that make me feel worse?

just kind of overwhelmed and not feeling well.

feels like life would be easier if i never had to leave my house.
