This was an exceptionally sucky work week. I usually love my job. This week, not so much. On top of the usual cranky residents and the constant shift wars between my staff, I had to deal with lining up a rolloff dumpster and cheap labor force to deal with the aftermath of 3 1/2 feet of flood water in the basement. The highlight of the week may have been dealing with a new staff member who wants "all the overtime I get", yet "but I cant work those open shifts, I only want overnight." Well, ok princess, let me tell the supervisor to totally redo the entire schedule and move the others who only want overnights to other shifts so you can be happy. Gaaahh.
I have pretty much decided to turn in my boss and pursue my dream job. I want to drive a pilot car for oversize loads. Seriously. That's what I want to do.
If you could have any job you choose, what would it be?

The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for LOVE for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your Moon… I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with Wildness! and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own Soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the .
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Strange pussies

in for a wild weekend with not just 1, but 2 strange pussies. No, not THAT kind, the furry kind. Oh wait, 70's sasquatch bushes are coming back I hear. The kind that purr when you stroke them, oh wait... Cats. cats. Cute teensy tiny cats. My area was hard but flooding this week. Someone I know has a cat rescue, she took in 2 orphaned kittens on Monday, and her home flooded on Wednesday. She has to go of town for work this weekend, and her husband has to gut their house. She was near tears over what to do with the orphans. Being an animal lover, and a not so shitty person in general, I said "well, I can take them for the weekend, I've bottle fed orphaned animal before, even raised a pine squirrel once, his name was Fast Freddy." There were actual tears and long (too long) hugs and after work I went to her house and collected the kittens and supplies. So my weekend plans are pretty sedate, but oh goooooodnessssss are they sweet!

How difficult is it to shave your testicles? I know how tricky it can be to shave my lady bits, and nothing dangles from my body. Seriously, how to you shave your ballsacks guys?

I very recently had a chance to become reacquainted with one of the very first people I met here. I know this probably seems like a helluva strange place to meet people that you connect with in a non sexual way, but it does happen. Years had gone by since we spoke last, maybe 8 or 9, but 3 minutes into a phone call we were right back where we were then. Our our older, we are older, one of us has had major relationship changes, the other is still working on the same mission project. Careers have changed. Everything has changed, except our rapport. I don't think I can describe how nice it felt to hear his voice again, especially to hear him say my voice in the exact same "what am I gonna do with you" tone. I hope he could hear my smile. Now, I don't mean to take anything away from the other friendships I have made over my years here, I love you guys too, but he was the one I lost touch with and who crossed my mind often but I had no contact info for. The universe set things up for our paths to cross again, and I am grateful.

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

There are times in life when we are faced with parting ways with a thing that doesn't serve us well. Could be a car, a worn out pair of jeans, a bad bf/gf, anything at all that no longer suits us.
Today is one of those times in my life. All I can say is "listen here gallbladder, I grew you myself, I fed you a mostly healthy diet, I watered you with good clean water, the sunshine from my very soul warmed you, I never subjected you to excessive alcohol and really no drugs at all (sorry about those edibles, that wasnt fun for either of us) , and you still fail me! You just up and die! You could learn a thing or too from a uterus you know, I put that thing through hell and it's still kicking."
My only eulogy for you, my dear non functioned bile storage container, is you can just go eat a bag of dicks!
