Do I really want to work on a Sunday?? Do I really want to see a client on a Sunday??

Well, yep that is what I will be doing. . . going to my "special" client's house at about 5, which is a 30 minute drive each way to make sure he takes some medication to make sure he doesn't have a reaction, so we can start giving him medications through injections. This client has been a little bit of a thorn in my side. . . he is infamous in my agency and I have had to attend meetings with the vice-president and other supervisors about this client and why he is so off the lines of sanity. I have been in an hour long appointment with my supervisor, his psychiatrist, and him where yelling is involved.

I hope what we are doing really starts to work soon! (Not sure how much more I could take if it doesn't.)

"That people's memories are maybe the fuel they burn to stay alive." This was my favorite line from this book I think from the same Japanese author who has wrote The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles and Kafka on the Shore. After Dark is a very short and fast read, but is another book that takes you into a very different reality than yours. In this story one is very real and the other one is also very real too, but in a different sense. It mainly follows the main character, who is a 19 year old Japanese girl who stays out all night in a neighborhood where she doesn't really fit into, but is there for a different reason than you might think. This book introduces us to many characters that all lead different lives during the night and some of it is very freaky and shady, others very real and personal. I liked this story and if you like this author I would suggest reading this book.

Without getting too personal. . . I am just so frustrated with insurance companies in particular companies that should be bending over backwards to take care of me since they are liable for the accident I had. Just so frustrated that they wouldn't extend my rental car even when I don't have a car yet, a check from them for my car, and need to work.



I should have a car by Saturday though. . . .



So frustrating!!!

Garden Update on the 4th of July



So, it is about the halfway point in the summer already (not technically), but still time for an update.



I am glad everything is mostly in pots, since we are getting ready to move possibly pretty soon. Anyway, the pea plants have seen to hit their second wind even though they look pretty raggedy on the bottom and almost dead. Not to mention that they are leaning on each other almost horizontal, but I have probably 10 new flowers with more coming so that means pea pods. So, far I don't have enough peas to really make anything, so I am keeping them in the freezer till I can have enough for a cold summer soup. I hope that when I put them in the freezer they keep their sweetness! ~

I have two lettuce plants in a pot and the leaves don't seem to be getting that big. Not much of a success on that one. . . and when the leaves aren't big enough they taste pretty bitter. Anyone have any advice on how to grow good lettuce in pots for next year??

The tomato plants having good success with the cherry ones. I have mastered the art of pruning I think because I am getting some nice size ones. The other ones just got some new good soil that should provide some nutrition, so hopefully they will start growing like rockets. I hope that they start getting some flowers on them soon. The rest of the flowers in pots are doing pretty well. . . my marigolds under the oak tree are nothing spectacular. The soil isn't the best, but I hope maybe they start to spread some including the tomato plant that got mixed up in the mix under the tree. I am praying and hoping for some good tomatoes!
