Who wants a Sandwich?

Hey! The "No soup for you!" lunch ladies are gone from my work!!! Outta there. No mas! See yaaaa! Thank heavens; I can now order my turkey, pepperjack on wheat w/out the possibility of getting a knife thrown at me! Haha. The sandwich maker moved to day shift...I truly believe it's bc I gave her such the stink eye when I went in there. My coworkers wouldn't even go w/ me in fear that that mean, old lady would not like them too! Anddddd the cashier, she was just too old, bless her. Usually I buy a Powerade & Chex Mix w/ or w/out the sandwich. I promise you, L, the cashier, would spell out everything you bought! It took her entirely toooo long to cash you out. She used a pencil & if there was a backspace on that thing, she was wearing it out!! So needless, to say, my life is a lot better now w/out those 2 mean ladies!

I don't recall if I've mentioned the divorce of my Dad & (ex)stepmom. Well, it was an ordeal, just like everything else. She's moved to ArkansaS (I like to pronounce the silent S). Yes, you read correctly, Arkansas. Sucks b/c my little sister is there w/ her. We do get to see her, just not as much as I, or the rest of the family would prefer. Don't really think it's fair to strip a child away from all of her family, but who I mean who am I to question? So, point of story. Mac was here a few wks ago. She, Ry, & I were all watching tv in my dad's bed, sharing some sister bonding. I lost my phone charger (& by lost, I mean misplaced for 1 second, & had already began sweating that Id never see it again...dramatic, I know) Of course, I blame Mac; she's young, why not? She says "Uh, no, Meg, I didn't have it. You losed it." Before Ry or I can correct her, my 8y/o sister says, "Oh no! I've lived in Arkansas too long!!" Hahahha!!!! Speaks volume!

February 7th was a year since Ben Trussell's passing. We all got together to celebrate his life. Seems so unreal that he's been gone a yr. His (older) brother wrote the most amazing song about him, a tear jerker for sure. The chorus "I play the same chords you played" Just got chills even typing that. His dad played a song of his. It's amazing to see how many ppl come out or showed up in memory of him. Damnit Ben.

After experiencing the death of a close friend & just being a nurse, it's so scary to know how fast things can happen & turn sour. Some ppl are ready for death. Well, I guess I shouldn't say ready, rather, not afraid for it. Not me. I'm so scared of death.

Freedom of Speech...the 1st Amendment, correct? Yes. Also, in this country, we are allowed to practice any religion, whether it be Christianity or praying to wild turkey. I've already mentioned in the past what it's like being a Catholic in the "Bible Belt" so to speak. It's not Alabama in general b/c when I lived in Mobile, everyone was Catholic. However, out of all the nurses I work w/, I believe only 3, including myself, have practiced or are practicing Catholics. Ever since the 3rd grade, I've been getting grief about my Christian denomination b/c mind you, Catholicism is a part of Christianity. As a matter of fact, we started Christianity. How can so many ppl seem to forget that? You learn it in school! Someone's Facebook (another topic later) on how they were glad they didn't have to pray to a Priest, blah blah. Now I shouldn't take offense to that, I know. I mean, if you're reading my blog, I know I've probably offended you along the way. I just don't see how ppl can "act so Christian" & then criticize another CHRISTIAN denomination. No, that's wrong. Plus don't ask me why I do what I do in my church when we started the Christian Churches. I'm going to ask you why YOU do what YOU do!

For the record, we don't worship Mary. Does she not deserve some credit though? We don't believe Saints are God. They have all been phenomenal, great, living the Word of God people. Why not ask them for guidance as well? Someone asked me if I could just pray?! Like w/out having a structured prayer, I guess, like the Act of Contrition & Hail Mary. Well don't all ppl say the Lord's Prayer? Ignorance. Of course we can pray!!! I talk to God alllll day. Actually after having that conversation, I was saying the Hail Mary, & wondered why anyone would ever question why we pray to her.

Clarke is getting spayed today!! She went into HEAT!! Oh my. It's the most disturbing, disgusting, ridiculous thing. She's just a little BABY!!! She was going sooo crazy that she would wake me up w/ her meow/crazy mating call maybe? I don't even know if I can look at her the same. My mom took her to the vet; I had to get rid of her for the wknd!!!! Does that make me a bad mom that I didn't bid her farewell before surgery? Crap. Yes.

Happy Saturday! The weather is beautiful! Go outside!!
