Hey, kid.  Counting my blessings to get my mind off crap.  Here’s to old friends!  Have a fine Friday!

8:32am Phil

I am taking the “fuck it” approach! Doing my job, grateful for family, good friends, and life.  I’ll get over bumps in the road.

I’m thankful for the people who love me and are always there. To old wonderful friends, to new friends, to this strange journey called life and all its joys and sorrows.

Dance in the rain Sassy, do the Beale Street crawl. It will all be ok. 🙂

8:05pm

Hey, kid.  What’s up?  We just had sushi dinner @ Sis’s.  Yum.

Hope you’re having a great evening.

10:16pm Phil

Mess at work.  Mega-bigwigs and civilians involved.  Stinks.  Been called incompetent, mentally ill, stupid, ignorant, homophobic and a host of other things.  Been that kind of week

10:18pm

Holy sheet!

10:19pm Phil

Yeah. Great fun. Must be crazy people off their meds

10:22pm

Military people letting outsiders fight their battles?

10:31pm

So sorry… you don’t need this in addition to everything you have to do!

I’ll trade you though.  I get to meet with my dickhead boss and his boss and my union rep tomorrow.  Their dragging in HR because I can’t do 2 jobs at once and never take days off.  Union rep says they are breaking all sorts of rules.  But it mostly means I can’t stay here.  Have to job hunt.  May lose all my doctors when I can’t walk and have wacky blood sugars.  Ugh.

I will pray for better days for both of us!

10:41pm

Feel free to unload on me if it helps… I know you are not any of those things!  You are a good man!

7:48am
Good morning! Have a terrific Tuesday!
         

7:50am Phil
Hey good morning Sass! Hope you date was fun. Nice to have short week! Thanksgiving is coming and we put the Christmas tree up over the weekend. Took advantage of able bodied help. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

1:09am
Thanks for your words – made me smile on a very bad day. Saw my union rep for the first time ever. Boss is being a jerk. Know anyone who needs an office manager? Or have any intuition on the lottery numbers? With online men who take and don’t give, my stupid foot and wacky blood sugars, and now job crap? Ugh. Please pray for better days! Sorry to whine… can’t sleep. Will go get lost in memories of lobster and sunsets and hugs. Mwah!

9:10am
Happy Monday! No work for me! You?
Off to meet a guy!
Have a delightful day!
         

6:01pm Phil
Well you too. Hope you had a fun day! Worked a little

8:43am
Good morning!
Thinking of you and all you do for this country! Thank you!
Big doings today?

9:41am Phil
Planning to relax, watch some football, eat a little chili. Went out and placed flags at the cemetery this morning and now planning to chill for the day. I need a day off and I’m going to get a quick workout in and then enjoy the rest of the day.

10:45am

Sounds grand! Wondering if you want a wild girl to suggest other things you could do? I’m gearing up for the monthly project meeting.

10:11am
Happy Saturday! I’m doing chores around the place today, trying to chill out after a rough week. Hope you have a great day!

11:43am Phil
Out wandering with co-workers. Enjoying the day. Hope it’s a good Saturday.

7:38am
Good morning gorgeous!
[photo of him out at a bar all dressed up]
So fun to see you in a suit! But the football tie? No.
Have a fun Friday!

7:57am Phil
LOL! OPA

8:13am
Ah, would love to hear you laugh!
Have a temp starting. Going in early to prep. Yesterday was wild, hoping for calmer day. Really need a new job…bleh. This too shall pass!

7:34am Phil
Morning! Can’t believe all the stupid political bickering going on. Obama won, he is the president. Get behind him and help him succeed. Geez.

Have a great day.

7:44am
Ah, you know how some people are. Don’t let it raise your bp. Hugs!

We got snow! Not forecast…sleeting now. Bleh.

I started insulin shots today. They say should make me feel / heal much better…hope so!

7:47am Phil
I know, just shows how narrow minded and hateful people can be.
Hope the insulin helps.
No snow here. Still waiting. Has not really been cold yet

8:11am
Good morning! Nor’easter coming, 2 Dr appts and I’m still smiling. Hope you can too!
         

8:20am Phil
I serve so we can have a democratic process. The President is my Commander in Chief and I support him. No more excuses about any mess left to him by his predecessor. He now has to do something about the economy, the deficit, unemployment, gas, immigration, our failing relationship with Israel, our rapidly dwindling military, our international image. He needs to stop sending his family on ridiculous vacations at taxpayer expense while so many are struggling to hold onto their homes, jobs and futures. I was not a Romney supporter, he may actually have been much worse but I have great concern for the strength of our nation in the coming years. The Military is stretched to the point of breaking. If Israel hits Iran, we are not ready to support. If Korea or Taiwan erupts, we are screwed. We simply no longer have the assets or the technological advantage to get it done. It scares me. I worry for my children and their future. I think the Republican party needs to get a grip. Their uber-conservative stance on everything is their doom. I guess we will see.

Hope the Noreaster is not too bad. Enough water in that part of the country. Enjoy the day.

9:16am
It’s very interesting to hear your perspective. Not one I hear from anyone else. I have to think this great country has always found a way, due to good men like you and with inclusion of women there will be even more good minds and things will get better!

       
10:12am Phil
The country will find a way but our leadership needs to do a better job. I voted with people who could not read the ballot, had to have someone show them where Obama was on the ballot and could not read the simple instructions. They were clearly illiterate, did not vote for anything else and were simply there to put an X next to Obama. Many came in pajamas. This city is a town full of very rich people and many who can not find work outside the restaurant and bar industry, people who can not buy a house or condo and can’t afford the rent on an apartment. Many people here, rent a room in a condo or a house. These same people don’t see a need for government change.  Many of them are poor, working minimum wage jobs. They voted for more of the same.  The fact that a conservative came that close to winning better be a wakeup call to the president and the Democratic party. This country is very divided and that’s not a good thing. Differences are fine but we have some serious issues and the president never said how he planned to fix any of that during the campaign. We will see how it goes. The country has spoken sort of and I respect that. I respect everyone’s opinion and their right to vote and choose. The election is over, it’s time to stand behind our president as a nation and move forward. My outlook on it any way.
