Falling In Line

So I have finished my first full week as a regular office biller *sigh*... this I think is a good thing for me. I've been wanting to slow it down & be home more. I need to be home for my doctor's appts, I don't want to miss out on any of my niece's & nephews activities (Anthony graduated 8th Grade--woo hoo!), I don't want to miss out on my 20's with my friends & husband! The state cutbacks have really hit my family hard with the company I work for, but I think it was a blessing in disguise. It was time overdue for some of us to part ways with the company. As cut-throat, two-faced, & thankless as some of the upper management can be....I firmly believe in charma, it will all blow up on them in the end! For now I just have to keep trudging along, all will be okay in the land of the scrubs....well sorta, the shirts are kinda uncomfy. Of course I was A LOT thinner the last time I wore them, haha! But that will soon change too :)

With all the stress of the changes of my routine & having to find a new car soon (I have to give back the company car @ the end of June) I can always count on Bella & Michael for a good laugh! She loves her little cow Moo-Me. I love watching her wrestle with Mike & pounce on Moo-Me! It's funny how she thinks she is "hiding" under the pillows before she pounces. Maybe she thinks she has Harry Potter's invisible cape or something, I dunno?!? But we see her!Going to Mooney's Grove in Visalia was a spur of the moment idea of mine this weekend. I was feeling the need to get out & go for a walk & the weather was beautiful today....not to hot, and a gentle breeze!

We walked the whole circumference of the pond, watching the ducks & swans swim. I was disappointed that I had not brought any crackers or bread for them, they go bananas for those treats. I did make a neat discovery scattered all about the water's edge.... feathers from the ducks! Which I preceded to snag a few to take home for Bella. She loves with a capital "L" playing with feathers! I hope the hot water & soap cleaned them off good enough....can cat's contract bird flu? Hope not!

Watching these guys cross the path was hilarious, because every few minutes groundskeepers would zoom past in their golf carts & the leader of the pack would halt dead in his (or maybe her) tracks....then resume across the grass to the water's edge.We were kinda bummed that the museum that's at the park was closed today. We've been there before years ago. It has lots of neat Indian & pioneer-like artifacts, & just information & photos of the early settlers who came through Visalia. Plus check out this HUGE tree stump & old clock tower (which Mike was quick to assure me was not displaying the correct time! *rolls eyes*)
Well time to fall in line like the ducks, tomorrow starts a new week....the only difference is that I don't feel the pressure I used to feel. The scrambling to pack & make sure all the chores are done & errands are planned. No more cramming in all my activities into 2 days. I'm going to be fine. I'm going to trust in charma.
