tired sore and looking forward to a long weekend

Last night I bought a new bunk bed for the cottage and was really happy to pick it up and deliver it all in the same night-only prob is the cottage is about an hour from the house add to that assemble and remove from car time and you get a late night! I am tired from the late night sore from the lifting and yes like I said looking forward to a long weekend!

I look forward to purchasing decent pillows for the bed as well as some new sheets tonight and washing them in time to put them straight on the bed! hurray! I also got some cool fireworks and groceries and they are all delivered to the cottage now!

Looking forward to spending the next few days there-

I got the garden in and planned to do the same at the cottage- a garden at each place will mean fresh produce and less dragging stuff from one to the other- I mean won't it be fun to just go pick a cucumber for the salad? numnum~

last week I got a lot done in there so this weekend should be way easier! Maybe some painting!

Either way can't complain about the cottage when it's gonna be a hot summer and things will be way more fun! Last year I lost my love and had a freezing wet yucky summer- this year I only hope that it will get better for us all-

ok we need to talk- god I hate those words!

So the person that spoke about me to their boss now knows that I know they spoke about me to their boss. So she says we need to talk. Why do I feel so sick at the thought? I was the one that got burned by her.
Well that's just stupid I know but that's the way I work sometimes.

Ok good things- I got grass cut at the cottage and my brother got most of the water on. ( one tap to fix)
We got the cover on the boat ( that was stitched up and fixed the broken pipe that held it)and the boat in the water- I scrubbed most of the sinks and bathrooms and vacuumed the floors and now plan to replace the other beds-cause I just got a new mattress set- yay!
I swept out the gazebo and put the chairs around with small tables and it's all set to party! Ok maybe not to party but it's nice to sit in- without the bugs- I got the trampoline in the water....and the cover is in for the recliner that has splits on the arms but is otherwise still really comfy!

At home I patched all the pee dead grass with soil and seed and top seeded the rest of the yard and spread 30 bags of red cedar mulch on the gardens thus keeping some of the weeds down- still work to be done but it's less this way-

I need to clear the rest of the gardens and get planting now- we are pretty close to plants going in and I even have the peat moss and sheep manure to mix in like my husband used to do- he'd be pretty happy with that, maybe even surprised that I would still do it his way - I miss him more as time goes on not less.

Sadly my glass candles stands ( well glass tops metal stands actually) were knocked over and broken and Pier one doesn't just replace the glass....or does it? I went by and they said they might be able to do that! So I got 2 more to replace the broken ones and if they do allow the glass replaced I'll have 2 new candle holders for the other deck! :)

feeling a little glum

Well after having a week of fighting with the kids to pick up the clothes they drop all over the house and having a look at the grass that needs to be cut and the house that needs to be clean and the laundry that needs to be done and knowing that gram pa needs help this weekend and I will have to go to the cottage and clean that- make beds and wash the stove and shelves and fridge put the stuff out that goes out- like solar lights and such- I am a little glum, I would like to sleep a bit and do nothing but that's not going to happen! I guess the bathrooms and vacuuming can get done tonight and maybe I can get the Grass cut too- I have 2 mowers and the second one was not starting the other day- If I can get it started then I can get part done and so can my son! Much faster :)

But still I am behind getting the taxes in and am still feeling way over extended.

The part about the coworker that I thought was a friend for the past 7 years stabbing me in the back- well that sucks too!

stabbed in the back

Well there are not too many people I count as friends in this workplace= so not too many to talk to. So imagine my surprise when the one person I spoke to about some of my concerns in my workplace turned around and told her boss that people were saying things and he in turn called my boss and told him I was saying all kids of stuff that puts his division in question reputation wise.

I am really upset. I spoke to her as a friend saying that I didn't think the way they ( managers) spoke about clients was ethical and that it bothered me and she turned it on me- now the big bosses think I am a person who runs around talking about others-

I just need to stop speaking about anything to anyone and look for a different job. This place is too small and I just got a bad reputation as a gossip- the really sour part for me is that I made a point to not talk to anyone about this except this long time friend. Now I feel betrayed and stabbed in the back.
