Mvg.. next year is a long ways away. And yet it will be here in a blink of an eye! Ack!

Today's what the? Moment came via text...

He had asked about work and I mentioned how some coworkers had thought it would be best for me to speak with one of the new grads about an issue that had come up with her practice.. I am sort of one of the more gentler nurses on the floor and I have a softer approach (I don't feel it's necessary to bully these younger girls who are just starting out). I was saying that I didn't really want to do it because really.. Who likes to do things like this but, that I did feel it would better for me to talk to her than some of the others. H replied "you do have that gift of keeping things going in a positive direction". A few weeks back he had made some comment about me being gifted at nursing. Lol. So there's the what the? I'm not a horrid person! lol

Hi BF,

We used to (may still in the future) camp also with the kids. Lots of fun. We were discussing New Years Eve and she stated wht we could not do a event due to the kids...and then started to say but maybe when they are gone...but stopped herself.

I feel for her - obviously (over 20 years together) - she is a good person that is just so undecided on what to do. This is the stem of her WTF statements...

We talked on how to move on with financial arrangements and her moving out yesterday and I thought that it was moving forward but this morning she did not know again. I truly wish she would committ to saying or leaving..

Best of luck, close the door if it is time.

I like these new terms!

BF, you are kinder, gentler.

I decided that this thread will be dedicated to all the what the? Moments. I have 2 today.

"If a bear starts biting, jab it in the eye with a knife" uh.. Like.. What the?????? Lol! This was in a junior explorer book that my gf's son got for Christmas.

Yesterday.. On New Year's Eve.. I was bitten by a shark! Ok.. My friends have sharks teeth (like the whole mouthful) up on a shelf. At their New Year's Eve party last night, those teeth came down and the darn thing attacked me. Seriously?? How bizarro. Lol. It hurt! But I survived.

Sounds like a fun party! We Canucks know how to celebrate, don't we!

Barb.. Lol. I was visiting friends in Powell river. It requires 2 ferries to get there. They had people over for New Year's Eve. People with kids. The kids had sparklers and banged pots and pans about midnight EST. Adults did not last that much longer afterwards.

I was in bed by about 1030-1100? What the??? But it was nice. I had fun. We started the evening at a hockey game. Canada eh?

Great Canadian New Year! We went to a lovely little restaurant in our town that opened for the holidays. Some people cancelled due to the snow. Then we watched Keith Urban & Nick Jonas for New Years Eve Niagara Falls (my hometown) on TV.
We are digging in our heels for another big snowstorm heading our way, supposed to pass by tomm. Good thing because I am "outta here" - headed to the south for fun in the sun. I may be Canaidan but i really hate snow!

I have been sick for the past week. Ugh. I hate being sick! But on a happier note.. I'm in love! And it only cost me $35. I bought myself a labeler and it is life changing. For reals!

So H has been sick too. He had a lingering fever (4 days) and I told him to go see the Dr. He had been txting me asking for advice on what to do for the fever that just didn't seem to go away. Finally I told him to see a Dr because I didn't like the fever bit. Turns out its strep. Today he texts asking if everyone is ok.. No symptoms? I told him kids are fine. And so he asks why I always avoid including myself as a concern when he asks.

Seriously... The mind of these WAS is bizarre. I didn't answer the question. Just told him about my new love. What the?

I know things are different. In the past I would have answered and probably end up talking about my feelings.. And how hurt I might have felt.. Blah blah.. These days I feel there are just some stuff better left unsaid. Like the time he fell asleep and didn't pick up the kids from school (his dad was always late when he was younger and I know it really bothered him). I felt very upset for the kids.. Initially. But I didn't say anything. Because in the end, I really didn't need to. Because saying something would have been just for my own satisfaction of having said something. He felt bad enough.. Didn't need me to make him feel even worse.

A lot of things changed when I hit 40. I always understood how precious time is but I really feel it. With this weird sense of urgency.

I'm going through an identity crisis. Seeing barely floating as my name was just so depressing since I definitely don't feel like I'm barely floating anymore. And now there are these guidelines that the name has to be between a certain amount of letters.... What's short for barely floating? The first thing that popped into my head was Barf but that also did not seem appropriate. so it's been briefly changed to smilie (because in college some friends would call me smilie Chris) but that also doesn't seem right because it's i recognizable. Lol. I'm waiting now... I've settled on BFloat or Bfloats.. Can't quite remember. Not sure why it didn't occur to me to shorten it this way earlier... Oh the drama!
