I got a fever....

Everyone warned me about the day that I would get hit with the fever.... the baby fever! I just laughed it off. I didn't take them seriously. Well, I've been struck in the head by something unknown. Every where I go there is always a baby sleeping in a stroller or an infant learning how to walk or nuclear family on the side walk. For those of you who don't use nuclear, it would be the so called "perfect family"---Perfect parents, perfect kids, perfect house with a picket fence. I have friends having babies, had babies, or like me struck in the head with the fever. I know its wrong to start preparing now for what you don't know if it will or will not happen in the future. But I see parents raising children ---its expensive... I just don't think you can be prepared enough so while baby shopping for my friend Linda's baby... I started picking up the basics for the non existent child in my life. I know, I know fucked up! Maybe tomorrow will be better.... maybe I will get the cooking fever at least Doc would be happy... he could get a day off from cooking the meals in the house :)

Doc's great news.

As I exited work last evening my cell phone started beeping that I had a message waiting for me to listen to. I dialed in to hear my messages only to hear that it was for Doc--it was the police Sargent to the department that he just applied for saying that he got the job. I continued to walk down campus his building to ride home with him. Once we got into the elevator I told him that I had great news for him. He asked what I had that what so wonderful... I was so happy to be the one to tell him that he got the job. So he went and met with his new department tonight and came home with his schedule and gear. No, he didn't quit the managers job at the hospital. He just really missed the police work... so this is just a part time gig for him to get back out doing something that he loves. I'm so happy for him...

a days work

Today was payday at work which meant everyone came in to get their checks cashed, open an account or take a loan out for their upcoming vacation. People were so impatient and nasty because of the days weather. Rain. This girl came in with her boyfriend to take out their paychecks to pay for the next two weeks worth of bills. They always end up in a deep conversation about who has what bill to pay. wasting my time. wasting the time of the person in the line behind them. I asked them if they had everything together so we could move on with their transaction when she decided to SHH me. Shh me. Shh me. I couldn't believe it. My smile disappeared off my face and my mood went from helpful to get the fuck out of my office. I have been home for three hours now and I still can't believe that I got shhed. damnit. I will end this night with shear genius on bravo.

Life is Fragile

I received a message on my cell phone when I arrived home from work, that a girl that I went to high school with passed away. Called my "so called friend" back because she sounded upset to find out what happened. She told me that Maria Michaud had passed away and that they thought it was a blood clot. She leaves behind a beautiful little girl Natalie who will turn one in just 12 short days. She won't be their to see her enjoy her cake. Let alone her husband Dan who she will never get to celebrate a ten year wedding anniversary with. Maria never made it home from work yesterday. .... sad.....

My heart goes out to the Demers/Michaud family tonight. I can't begin to imagine what is going on in their minds or the sadnesss that fills their hearts. No time is a good time to see someone you love leave this life...

Life is fragile and its sad that so many of us take it for granted and think that it will never be us ...it will never be the one that we love with all our hearts.... I just hope that they can find the comfort and strength to get through the days ahead of them....

Weekend Recap

Doc and I spent the majority of our weekend inside. On Saturday morning I looked at the weather report to plan our weekend it looked like Sunday was going to the be the best day---sunny and no thunderstorms. So on Saturday morning we went to the farmers market to get our vegetables for the week. In the afternoon we just hung out around the house cleaning and doing some organizing. We took a nice walk downtown and did some window shopping. We got the propane tank filled so Doc could do some grilling. Dinner time rolled around and Doc went out to start the grill and it began to down pour. We ate dinner and discussed our plans for Sunday. We decided we would go kayaking and eat lunch on the beach.

We woke up this morning to it pouring outside....it has continued to rain all day :( We watched a movie first thing ---I took a nap on the couch while Doc finished it. We then decided we would go catch a matinee, we saw Wall-E. It was cute. We went to the co-op to get rice milk. Once we got home I did the dishes and Doc worked on his computer. Doc cooked chicken burgers topped with guacamole and zucchini and summer squash. It was a huge hit!

I'm not really looking forward to the busy week at work ahead of me.
