Queen of Nothing

It’s back to work for me today and I really fucking don’t want to go.  I love my job, love what I do. But I hate my boss with a fucking passion.  If I could just vanish her from Earth I would.  She is such a damn bitch. Doesn’t know what really going on in the workplace, forgets shit that you tell her and that she tells you, then reams you out for whatever it was she forgot.

I left work last Tuesday with back pain, really, I couldn’t sit, bend, and could barely walk. I left and went straight to the MD and haven’t been back since.  All MD approved, thank you very much.  I’d bet my right arm that I get “counselled” on missing work.  Now mind you, I don’t miss work. This is the most I’ve missed in the 7 years that I’ve been there.  But the Blonde Bitch….. she’ll only see how it affects her and not bother that there’s no way I could do my job with not being able to move.

Here, I go, back to the damn lion’s den.

Well, my precious blog friends, it seems I have been neglecting your pretty little selves to embark on my own selfish endeavors.  You know those frivolous little jaunts of grocery shopping, laundry, raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Okay, let’s start over.  I’ve been sewing like a mad woman. I found some mo’fantabulous taffeta on a clearance table, 50% off I tell ya, and knew it would make a perfect cloak.  It’s a teal/purple irredescent. Look at it straight on, it’s teal. But tilt your head to the side and it magically changes to a fabulous purple with just a glimmer, a hint, a whisper of the teal.  Let me tell you friends, I am in love with this fabric.  All I have left to do is put the sleeves on and hem it up and VOILA! I’ll be an irredescent, shimmering, shimmier.

Speaking of shimmies. Saturday was the annual Shimmyathon to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. I won’t tell you how very disappointed that none of the 5 people that read this blog didn’t donate not one single dollar.  No, I won’t say anything at all about how that link was left unclicked, and that fabulous address was not used to mail one single check to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  What I will tell you is that this woman you didn’t sponsor, took 2nd place at the Atlanta venue, shimmying her buns for 1 hour, 5 minutes, and a some seconds.  Now, don’t you wish you had sponsored me. I know you do. The site is still up, scroll down, find the link and help out with some great medical research, what do you say? I don’t have anything to give you but that warm fuzzy feeling to know that you’ve helped someone.

I was very afraid I would not be able to go. I woke last Wednesday to horrific lower back spasms.  I couldn’t sit, bend forward, tuck my pelvis under, and I could barely walk.  It didn’t hurt to stand… much and it once I could get on the floor, it didn’t hurt to lie down.  Muscle relaxers are fabulous little pills, let me tell you.  2 1/2 days of being knocked unconcious for most of the time and whatever little muscle was swollen to pinch on that little nerve that caused me to seize up was back to normal.

Today I have a vacation day from work. Yesterday was my birthday and I’m taking today off to celebrate and do all the things I didn’t do yesterday, like laundry and grocery shopping.  I didn’t do a damn thing yesterday, because it was my birthday and I didn’t want to do a damn thing. So there.  The week will be back to normal too soon and I’m really liking it being here at home.   Catch up to you later.

Hello everyone,  I’m raising money for the cystic fibrosis foundation. 

At this point, with less than a week left for collections, 

I only need $5 from 10 people to reach my fundraising goal.

I have signed up to participate in Shimmy-a-ton 2006 event in the 

Atlanta area that was designed to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  

Last year Shimmy-a-thon raised over $16,000.00. 

This year we have set our goal at $30,000 to help families living with and fighting Cystic Fibrosis.  

The event is set up so that the dancers raise money by shimmying.  

We will all get together on September 23, 2006 and shimmy until we can not shake it anymore.  

Our friends, family and coworkers have an opportunity to sponsor us in this event by making a flat donation.  

To help them exceed their goal, I have set a personal donation goal of $300.  

Hopefully, together we can help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation defeat this terrible disease.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. A defective gene causes the body to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections. According to the CF Foundation’s National Patient Registry, the median age of survival for a person with CF is 36 years.
