Where do I begin... or should I even?

Once I thought this world held excitement and adventure..
Once I believed in good in people, and in life..
Today if you ask me what I believe I shall refrain from answering
For lately it depends on the time of the day and what the deck has dealt
2012 held promise, and faith wavered a weak light feeble though it was
Yet here we are three weeks in, and that light is all but snuffed out
Most act as if they know who I am, yet only a rare few do,
Family, the cornerstone of my life, is slipping away,
How did I end up here, what crime did I commit to stand alone
At this time, in this place, here
Tears shed in darkness, Pain wretches from within
Though from the outside a smile is seen, a moment without care
Yet the darkness looms, just beyond the door,
A call is sent, not from one but from all
No food to feed them, they sit and wait, all the while snarling
then the canvas burns, the holes broaden, the shield from the storm is gone
No sanctuary from the rain, No stand against the wind
Then the sickness slips inside, to weaken the resolve from within
The doctor wont see without a note, the medicine is for the richer folk
So I stand here and wither within the storm, Callous and cold, forlorn
Trying to save the tender bud that struggles to bloom within
yet the gales still come, the weakness threaten to succumb
Young ones hail they know the answer to all, yet they have yet to clear their own path
Family burdened beyond belief have trust in you and turn away
Friends of the sunny days have left to find sweeter meadows in which to play
The few that are left stand and watch the fight, through a barrier which they cant cross
For I have been thrown, left here to without thought,
Not given a reason for this, only to be asked if I have learned the answer
Without being given the question...
I stand confused and alone.

ADR 1/2012

Another Manic and Mawkish Monday....

Good morning World;
 Monday strikes again.  This morn seemed like Murphy wanted to visit. Was awoken late... though made up the time. Left the house on time, only to find the car that ran well yesterday, did not wish to crank. Nor did jumping it off help. So had to drive my old Jeep.. gotta love them, they take a licking and still keep kicking; to work. Sans muffler, and with draping headliner. Got to work fine, albeit 20 mins late, but I have an AWESOME crew and bless Shahn for being understanding. We worked it out so he is coming in later than usual today... a little give and a little take.. a great friendship makes.:) Aside from that been rather calm, which is a great thing considering the tension from this morning left a residual headache. Blah... and no Tylenol nearby.
Found out that one of the workers who was out sick last week, is still sick only worse. Her immune system was weakened and she may now have in addition to her reaction to something that set off her asthma, either the flu or pneumonia. I am sending what healing prayers I can to her, and still concerned about my son as well. Friday he had an asthmatic attack, and after finding a non prescription inhaler, he is slowly clearing up and able to breathe somewhat. Though there is still a rattle to his chest. He is at home being a gracious guy and helping with my sickly car.  Hopefully they can get things worked out or this will be fun {note the sarcasm}.
Til Anon dear reader, till we meet again.

Finally Friday...

Wow made it through the last week... glad weekend is here. Cant believe how tired I have been lately. Last two days barely made it home from work then hit the hay hard. Maybe will catch up on rest next two days. Have a good weekend all.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My son is getting his first "true" job... at least that is the way things are going atm. I wish him well. It isn't much, but one that will get his feet wet in that proverbial work pool. And it is a good one that will allow him time to work on his homework while he is working. Fingers crossed.

Rain Rain Please Stay....

Good Morning,
Things here are going well. Back on day shift then off the weekend. Cool. The internet is not working again at home. Tech support refers me to a technician who came out last time said things were good, now they are saying they need to get into the house again.Wished they would actually fix it. Gotta love the "Passing the Buck" game. And somehow it is always the other guys fault, which at present that is me. But funny how things work just fine for a couple of weeks then just stop working for no reason.
But morning rant aside, I really hope things get better for Japan soon, and China as well. So much rain, and natural disasters. I know here in America we are having areas hit hard as well. But seems like the storms hitting Asia are much worse. At least here, we are semi prepared and usually our buildings are stronger built, thus minimizing our losses. Though loss in any form is terrible and my heart goes out to anyone, worldwide who is suffering. My wish for the day, a little happiness and charity be shared among people.
Have a great day.

Aww Audit again

Been playing with the camera again... posted some pictures up on the Counting Rope. Plans for the rest of the day... get some sleep for work tonight. Have to eat sometime I believe.. And counting days to Payday.

Work and Sunday Mornings

Oops I missed a day... was working and went home to make a very tasty dish. Not sure what to call it but was inspired by Parmesan Chicken. Began with the idea as a basis, instead of chicken breasts used the thighs, added red pepper flakes, lemon pepper, and curry as seasoning, coated in a light coating of mayo; topped off with a layer of shredded five Italian cheeses. Baked in the juice of one lemon and one lime; Yummy! Add a strawberry salad with peanuts, shredded Italian cheeses, cranberries,peanuts, pineapple in a bed of butter lettuce, red curly lettuce and spinach. Yes, I do eat greens on occasion :P  Today, has started out well, aside from a couple of people not wishing to pay the full rate for a stay over the weekend. But overall the guests are happy, housekeeping is happy, and that means happy front desk clerk. Aside from the people asking directions and my having to repeat x4 times to one person. But all in a days work. Will try to post the pictures  of last nights sunset. Depends on how busy I get here at work. Lovely day though. 67 Degrees:) Nice
