Life After The Hollow


 Real Life?
 

Happy Friday.

Behind all the goofiness and Zulu madness there is actually a real life going on here.... and things aren't going very well, overall. So, I'll check in with what's really going on for once.

I have actually found work working as an assistant to a different realtor than the ones I was working for before and I was supposed to start this past Monday but was put off all week by her. I am to start this coming Monday instead so lets hope all this realtor flakiness evaporates! I know her boss so I might just schedule a meeting with the broker to see where she can put me if that falls through.

I have another gig in the works to go to New Orleans for 2 months to work for a title company who is reorganizing all their post Katrina accounts and I was tipped off to this by a friend in Dallas. So, I called this agency up and at first they seemed interested in me coming down to work for them but now I can't get in touch with the woman who is handling that and have left repeated messages for her to call me but she won't. If I can reach her today then I could be leaving as soon as Sunday, but I don't feel so good about that anymore.

My stupid car has been back in the shop for the last ten days because it was leaking oil again, but the mechanic told me it was just an axle seal that needed replacing... But "just a" doesn't matter when you don't have the funds to even pay for that. *sigh*

I seem to be doing well being off all the meds I was on up until January when I decided to come off everything and while that process was painful and disruptive to my life, I am glad to be free of all that. Thing is, I believe I may have developed a bleeding ulcer in my stomach. That's going to bear very close watching. I had an ulcer before and this may be the same one acting up again. But I tell ya, blood scares me.

Any good news? Sure. I am getting back in shape after getting kind of soft over the winter and I am starting to trim off the extra weight I picked up over Christmas. I am only truly happy when I am exercising and am feeling fit.

I am attempting to get back into the swing of things with my spiritual life as well. I have gotten so off track in what used to be the most important aspect of my being, so I am trying to knuckle down and re-establish the close relationship with God that I was so blessed with in years past.

So, I am juggling alot of stress right now and feel overwhelmed by the financial woes at times, but I have been through worse and persevered...

There is hope here.... and life without hope ain't such a good life.

...and as long as this heart beats there is a damn good chance of digging out of this hole I find myself in!

Happy Friday!

 Think Before You Post
 

"Think Before You Post" was what a friend of mine used to tell me when he was moderator of a board I used to frequent. I posted a story this morning about a funny incident between Secret and I involving some things that I suppose might be embarrassing to both she and I, and it went all wrong after the comments came rolling in. I don't embarrass easy, but I can see why she might be upset about me posting stuff like that without her permission. I apologize to Secret and to anyone else who was offended. I didn't mean to hurt anyone at all.

Peace,

Randy

 A Spaghetti Story
 

My sister emailed me this joke today and I thought it was kinda cute, so I will share.

Happy Wednesday.

A married man was having an affair with an Italian woman for
several years. One night, during one of their
rendezvous, she confided in him
that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his
marriage, he paid a large sum
of money if she would go to
Italy to secretly
have the child.
If she
stayed in
Italy to raise the child, he would
also provide child support
until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked
how he would know when
the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told
her to simply mail him
a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back.
He would then arrange
for child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to
his confused wife.
Honey, she said, "You received a very strange
post card today." "Oh,
just give it to me and I'll explain it," he
said. The wife obeyed, and
watched as her husband read the card, turned
white and fainted. On the
card was
written:
"Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti -- Two with
meatballs, one without."
