Cliff Notes of my Life

If you could see my world at this moment you would see the colorless sunset which is just as spectacular as when it puts on a show. Tonight it's just easing gracefully down over the top of my brick wall. There are 5 tall skinny palm trees paling to black against the light blue sky. It's really quite spectacular and I should not take it for granted just because it's a nightly show.

I find it annoying and comforting that friends are still prefacing conversations with "how are you doing"? I know that after all of the hell I drug ya'll through, you have every right to your concerns. I am far removed from last year at this time but I still seem to be in the telephoto lens of my fate. Let me just tell you, I can see the bigger picture now.
OVF has suffered a mutiny leaving me back to scrambling with the workload completely on my shoulders again. I felt the pressure of production this week for the first time in awhile. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I had gotten quite comfortable with my role as propriater and getting back in the trenches shows me problems, areas we are getting lazy. I can see where streamlining can benefit, I become full of ideas and improvements when involved in the actual toil of it all. So I'll just hang the "HELP WANTED" sign once again. I have been here before. The familiar territory will get me through this current evolution.

If you ever have the need for one slightly battle scarred nurse, Julie, I'll apply. :)

I loved your description of that sunset! It's EIGHT degrees here, windchill minus two.

I'm living the remainder of the Winter vicariously through you and Mel.

Have a fabulous day...and thanks so much for your comments on my own blog!
