Ruminations

This new job is keeping me busy. Between that and still trying to loose weight I have not been able to get here and do anything. I promise to get better.
The first survey is over and we have written 15 tags. Not bad for a nursing home that hasn't had a survey in 3 years. We actually expected worse.
It really was fun we ate out a lot and laughed a lot. I learned a lot too. The ladies I am working with are so very knowledgeable.
I spent this last week at home writing my citations and dragging the dog around the neighborhood. We have had cool mornings so the earlier the better. I just wish he would not poop in other peoples yards. I am not going to clean it up, Nobody picks up the horse droppings their dogs leave in my yard. I might charge for free fertilizer. I need to change direction of the walk so that the last bit is in the shade. The dog starts panting too hard in the sun.
So May 3 the dog gets his teeth cleaned. His mouth smells worse than his butt so it is really needed. I think he may be deaf. He ignores me a lot, but then most all the men in my life have ignored me. Even cutting his balls off did nothing to improve that.
Tomorrow is much day. Raul my Mexican gardener ( I guess it is not PC to say Mexican since I do not know from which country he is really from) will come and plant bushes and tote mulch to the back yard for the trees. I had to order 5 cubic yards of the stuff in order to get it delivered. I got tired of toting it around in the back of the vehicle. Not to mention I am too old to be doing that stuff anymore. Well maybe if I loose 10 more pounds.
So this morning I weighed self and have finally lost the first 10 pounds. It feels really good. Just that I have so far to go it is barely a dent. I am doing the weight watchers, bumped up my exercise and am learning to leave food on the plate at the restaurant. Hopefully I will be able to see my lady parts again with out a mirror, don't know how guys with the big beer guts know what the length of your junk is.
My scanner screwed up on me. It keeps saying the program is unstable. There is another scanner here that won't work cause it says it need ink. Don't know why it says that cause I have never used the thing. Tried to get the ink cartridge out so I could go get one. I couldn't figure out how to get it out. Sometimes technology cause more problems than they are worth.
Cells phones are one piece I could live without. People standing around in stores and other public spaces yaking loudly on phone is annoying. I was at the airport in Charlotte 2 weeks ago and some jerk was talking so loud you could not hear the overhead paging for flights. I wanted to jam that phone down his pretentious neck.
So this week we had a lady shot and killed in the parking lot of a doctors office and her 3 day old baby kidnapped. The baby was found safe and sound. The woman doing the murder wanted the baby because her boyfriend thought she was pregnant and she needed a baby so he would marry her. Well get this the lady she killed was white, her baby was white, the killer very black as well as the boyfriend. Talk about color blind. Don't really think that would have worked. One thing that pisses me off is that if the killer would have been white and mother black we would be having protests and riots claiming it was a hate crime. Why are we not having that now, I don't think this killer woman has any regard for people only herself.
Need to cut this short the dump truck should be here soon and it is time for lunch. Lettuce and tuna, yum.
