The State of Things

The Bad
  1. In the past 2 days at least 3 of my friends have been colossally screwed over. I do not take kindly to that.
  2. I have been made aware of things that I can't understand. These are things that make zero sense and actually hurt the people they are supposed to be protecting.
  3. I officially hate selling on craigslist. Apparently, living on the North side AND having a 8-6 work day makes pick up impossible.
  4. Unprepared students: Really getting to me today. This is college. Of course you need your student ID number to do business. 
  5. My head still is killing me. I need some rest. Soon.
The Good

  1. I had taken June 4 and 5 off. First to burn some hours of vacation time (because I will be maxing out soon...if I am not already). And because those days are the 2 year anniversary of the massive stroke and the tornado (aka the 2 days that changed my life pretty much forever). Tuesday I received an meeting invite for  our annual Assessment Coordinator's meeting. This will be a huge meeting: One I cannot miss. that date: June 5. After a little feeling sorry for myself, I sucked it up and e-mailed my boss. I let her know I would not be taking that day off and that I would be at the meeting. The trade off: Now I have Monday, Wednesday and Thursday off. Aside from the meeting the only day I will be working is Saturday that week.
  2. Moving Day is in 8 days. 
  3. I may possibly have May 26 off. That means I will have a 4 day weekend, followed by a 4 day work week, followed by 2 days off, a meeting day, 3 days off and one day of work. I am just waiting on the official word. I so need this time off. Lets keep hoping for a closure.
  4. The freezer: Is still hanging in there.
  5. I found my Keynote Summer Project Roommate from South Africa on Facebook. I was always sad we lost touch (she is pretty awesome), and it is great to be back in contact!
  6. I was annoyed with the lawyers this morning. I was confused by the update from my sister.  Out of curiosity, I shot them an e-mail just asking for an update. They got back to me, and while I am still disappointed that they are taking so long to get things moving, I do see they have been true to their word. Quarterly reports are ready and hopefully within the next few weeks Nigel will be ready to start moving this forward. Yes, I do wish they had stuck to better timeline. I just want this to be over with.

The Bottom Line

Writing Prompts: 1.)  Six Word Memoir : Write about a significant time in your life in just six words. 2.) “One need not be a chamber to be haunted, One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material place”. -Emily Dickinson What haunts you? 3.) Describe a talent or flaw that seems to be in your genes. 4.) What are you passionate about? 5.) Comfort food at its finest. Share a family favorite recipe you loved as a child. Lets go with #4  Shall We? It has been an interesting ride over the past almost 32 years: I was a cute baby: I was an adorable toddler: I was a child with a bad perm: Police Radios were just a part of Christmas morning and family dinners : I had the "coolest car" I may have vandalized a friend's car with evidence tags and rubber gloves found in aforementioned cool car: I went to college: Moved Away and Made New Friends: I traveled: I even toured with a band: Bottom Line: No matter where I have gone, what...

Tony Packo's Cafe has good cheap eats

Image
When I was in high school, we were always looking for a place to eat that was on our budget and was just a fun place to be. I had been going to Tony Packo's with my family, but when it was my money and with my friends it took on a whole new life. Tony Packo's is a Hungarian Restaurant on the East side of Toledo. While admittedly that neighborhood isn't exactly the place people flock to...or that Toledo is exactly a tourist attraction, if you are in the area this is well worth the stop. The food is great. It tastes great and it is all filling. You can get a Hot Dog Combo (one packo's dog, bowl of soup or chilli, and a side...my personal favorite is the paprikas) for under $10. This will fill up most normal people. I don't even like regular hot dogs, but the Tony Packo's dogs, sauce and cheese just make me happy. If you want to split an appetizer, I recommend the deep fried pickles. Tony Packo's has great pickle mixes.Normally deep fried pickles aren'...

With the regular television season almost over…what will you watch?

With season finales upon us, we venture into the summer television season. The summer season used to be a virtual wasteland of reruns, made for TV movies and other not so fun moments. Admittedly, network television doesn't do much better in this area now. Although, my Scrubs addiction we sparked by watching reruns over the summer, it isn't the same. Yes some network channels try new programming. However, in most cases I'm just not interested. Cable programming is usually what gets attention from my DVR. What shows get your attention in the off season? What shows tend to get your attention? Will you watch television at all? In a time where I know I would rather enjoy being outside and being with my friends, I know I am pretty selective. Even if it is something I record and "watch" while I work, I want to be sure it is worth my time.   This off season I will be recording: My Boys: Because I am constantly having moments where I am relating to PJ….like the better par...
