Dear Diary Thursday...

Wasn't the snow storm this morning pretty??!

Okay, the irritation for the day is this.....I hate finding out that I am a convenience item for somebody when they are feeling "left out" of a situation but they pretty much want nothing to do with you any other time.....love it, just love it....tattoo Fridgidaire on my ass and call me Sally....

Dear Diary Wednesday,

Woke up grumpy. I hurt my back on Saturday, spent Sunday at the doctor's office and am now on a batch of drugs....which are not working. I am going to call my chiropractor this week to see if he can give me any relief. The pain is not helping the grumpiness.

Vegas was awesome. The drive down was horrifying, but once we got to Vegas, we had a great time we were there and got lots and lots of shopping done.

Looking forward to the end of the work week.....

Dear Diary Sunday...

My cousin, Sharon, has moved on to a better place where she is no longer in pain. What an amazing woman she was and she will stay forever in my heart as probably the strongest woman I have ever known.
