Hi guys,
I can't believe how long it's been since I sat down and shared what's going on in my life...and there is so much I feel like if I don't write some of this stuff down I will explode....
Where to start?? I dunno I am just gonna go for it and see what comes out so bare with me if my thoughts follow no pattern here...
My father in law's health is bad...very bad..he is now on oxygen..he needs surgery to unblock his carotid artery in his neck but he is not stable enough to do that so that could cause a clot at any time....he has emphysema and COPD..he is supposed to be on the oxygen round the clock but he refuses..he ordered himself a Pulse ox monitor on line and only takes the oxygen when his levels fall below 90..we were there the other day and his pulse ox was 86!!! He stumbled and fell and scraped his arms up pretty bad...he has Lymphoma in his lymph nodes in his groin....I am sure there is more that I am leaving out...god bless him he just keeps on going and going..oh yea he is VERY anaemic and they can't find the source of it so he needs a colonoscopy..last time he had one he had gastric bleeding and almost died....
Hubby's co worker collapsed with a brain aneurysm yesterday while watching the game on TV and is now brain dead..his family has been summoned and they are keeping a vigil at his bedside while deciding what organs to donate....hubby has gone to airport ot pick up his sister and nephew to come say their goodbyes...
My office manager has decided that I am her latest victim..she tried to change my schedule and give my hours to the new girl that has been there 2 weeks!!!! I stood up for myself today and she verbally attacked me.... I defended myself don't worry and my schedule remains as it always has been...;-) But the atmosphere is awful and she is trying to get the Dr's on her side...it's bloody pathetic....high school drama if you ask me...she doesn't like me because I am not intimidated by her and see through her games..not to mention she doesn't like the fact that I was offered her job first but turned it down...
It has rained here on and off for a week..the yard is flooded..everyone is depressed and crabby...we have cabin fever I think..LOL..
Well I think that's about it...this may seem like a bit of a downer entry but I'm okay honestly..just felt like venting a little...when I think of the poor sailors family that is keeping vigil this evening I know I have little to complain about...
have a good week ...
Lyn x

I'm so sorry you've had such a bad week. Can you send some of that rain this way? We have been in a big drought with temps in the high 80's/low 90's....IN OCTOBER!!!
Keeping you and everyone in your life in my thoughts and prayers.
((hugs))
Jeanne
I guess you really did need to vent a little. It does help. Hugs to you ! Life does seem so hard sometimes and it can get you down. That's when we need to count our blessings for sure. Being able to vent is one of them. 'On Ya' - ma
I hope things start looking up soon
yikes rough week.. sending good vibes your way my friend hope things turn around. Prayers sent for your hubby's coworker.

I'm glad you got up and defended yourself! Some people just let others walk all over them, I'm glad you aren't like that.. Very sad about the sailor though. :( I hope your father-inlaw gets better! Hang in there! Julie
Oh so sorry Lyn....I will be praying all around. Blessings to you and yours.
Michele
i read about Lester's coworker and felt so much sadness. :(( I am so sorry and also hate to hear that about his dad. You are always in my prayers. I love you,lj
There is always a way to put things in perspective! It sounds like a lot going on at once. Saying some prayers.
Traci
{{{ Lyn }}}} I am so sorry that there is so much negative stuff going on in your life right now. Sending prayers for your fil that he starts to listen to his docs and is able to have surgery, or at least is kept out of pain. Prayer for hubby's coworkers family. And, I know that you will find a way to deal with the bitch at work!
be well,
Dawn
you don't complain...you share....and that is the way life is...you cannot determine what is going to happen to others...just do your best with you own...and as for FL....bless his heart...he is resisting isn't he...sounds like a man with a strong fortitude...and as for that soggy yard and cabin fever...I will take all you can share....for our yard is so dry...and hard...it would take a month of rain before any water got to the roots of anything around here....actually we are all praying for snow....but here it is..October 8th...and temps have been daily in the nineties....makes me wonder about "global warming" etc...well thanks for letting me ramble LOL..hugs from KY Ora
This entry was a blood downer mum! LOL Your father in law is having the same problem my mom did. She had it in both sides of her neck. Hope all goes well. Take care.
Phil
Vent away, my journal entries have all been one long vent lately, LOL.
Julie
Well...certainly lots to think about! What a horrible way for a family to have to say goodbye... I can only imagine the depths of healing they will need. God Bless them.
Sorry about work issues... people will try to get away with as much as they can! Sad that others need to push people around and create drama.
God Bless you always-
Amanda

You are in the middle of a lot at the moment. Prayers been said for your father in law. It must be a frustrating time for you. You did right with the women who tried to change your hours. We are getting very little rain and very warm sunny days.
love and hugs

Lisa
My goodness, it really never does rain but what it pours does it? ((((HUGS)))) I am glad you stood up for yourself against that work bully. I have never been able to understand that type of behaviour. Women are the worst people to work for I have decided. I'd rather work for man any day!

I'm glad you're doing okay despite the sadness all around you. I hope things pick up for your FIL.
Good for you, sticking it to the manager. You've got to let them know they can't walk all over you.

Gillie
I think you deserve to vent with all that's going on around you. Hope the rest of your week goes pretty well.
Missie
You just gotta vent it when the time feels right. So sorry to hear about your FIL and hubby's co-worker. My thoughts and prayers will go up for the both of them. Hope some sunshine finds it's way to your next of the woods and brings with it a few smiles. Take care of you and yours always,
Katie
So sorry to hear about...everything! Such sad news about both your father in law and your husband's co-worker, his family must be in shock of the suddenness of it all.
xoxo, Heather
Sorry about your father in law. That's hard to watch someone you love deteriorate right before your eyes.
And the coworker...what can I say? I have seen many like that when working in Critical Care and it's just heartbreaking. They are here one minute, and gone the next...end of story. It's just awful.
Glad you got your schedule straightened out. I just hate drama at work. HATE it!
Have a good day...
Pam
Wow that is so sad about your husbands friend...so quick...and so final....God Bless his poor family....I will keep them in my prayers....June:)
Sorry about your father in law and your hubbys colleague. . .life is so unfair sometimes.I pray they will have some peace from their illness.I hate office managers like yours. . . .good for you for standing up to her.
Some days it just rains shit! Anne
Life can get really hard sometimes. The best a person can do is just take one day at a time. If you are the praying kind then you're doing the best thing you can do during such difficult times. My father has alzheimers and is in a nursing home. Some days are better than others, you know? My heart goes out to you and yours.
Kudos for standing up for yourself! Perhaps you should keep a journal of your office managers attempts to make your job difficult. That way, if she is ever successful at convincing one of the doctors to see things her way, you have some record of what she has been doing. Of course my advice is a valuable as the cyber space it is written on LOL
Oh my heart goes out to your FIL and to your hubs co-workers family. Such a sad thing and had choice for them to be making. Yes that is so high school what she is pulling at work with you but yea on you standing up for yourself! Huggs, Robin
Please know that those you mentioned I will keep in my prayers....
Hope it becomes sunny for you soon---
Peace
Ellie
Bloody hell gurl, crack open the bottle will ya? I'm over on the next flight!
Gaz xx
Sorry to hear that you FIL is so bad Lyn.....my thoughts and prayers are with you all........alos for hubby's co-worker..... thats so sad.
As for your office manager ...... sounds like you showed her some 'True Brit Attitude' there.........OMG I would have blew my top and put her in her place too.
Hope things are soon on the up for you sweetie
hugs Jayne
Sorry to hear about your FIL. I'll put him on my prayer list. That really sucks about your hubby's co-worker. I'll pray for his family too. Good for you standing up for yourself. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less of you. :) It's okay to vent.
Hugs,

Many prayers to your FIL and also to your hubby's co worker and family.
Sending you lots of hugs!
Gretchen
Really behind here but sorry to read that you were having trouble at work with the boss, what a cow! Glad you managed to keep your hours. Thats terrible about your husband's colleague, it makes you realise how fragile life is. Sending you a good hug and hoping you have a lovely weekend. Tells x
(((((Lyn)))))
I am so sorry about your father-in-law. My prayers are with him.
As for your office manager: SHAME!!! Once upon a time I was in a situation very similar to yours and it just sucked. She did everything to turn everyone against me and it partly worked. Most of what came out of her mouth was nothing but LIES, but I stood my ground! When I knew the situation and office had become toxic I left. Best thing I ever did. I found a better paying job, the hours I wanted (less) and was much happier. I hope you find a solution to this, the solution that "you" want and need.
I will be thinking of you and good thoughts :)
Huggers,
Gayla
I am so sorry about your husband's colleague. What a tragedy! And I am sorry to hear that your FIL is not doing well. I hope your office manager gets off your back; at least she knows that she can't intimidate you! Take care!
Lori
that sucks I'm so sorry love v

I hope things get better.
I know its not easy to deal with all that at once sometimes...
But there are freinds here that will listen.
