-------------------------------------------------------------
Another day with heat index in the triple digits. My stomach turned. My scheduled for today would have been 5 hours in the hot car and 3 patients in the hood. I called off.
I have had a "issues" and tummy troubles all day. This job is making me sick literally. It is stress. I just couldn't do it today. I just couldn't.

Then it made is ticked off when my mom called and started in on my calling off. I just could not deal with her either. I ended it abruptly. I MIGHT apologize. I have gone from a glass half full and positive to OMG- my mother.

Remember I WAS a cheerleader. I didn't even want to get out of bed today.
I need to focus more on my next income business. But it is hard to do when this life sucking job takes every ounce of energy out of me. Let me tell ya how I FEEL about it.

Then there is this heat......... GOODNESS - WHERE IS JAZ?????- this is not me, and I don't like it.

I am really going self love today. Thankfully I went to the grocery and have a stocked fridge. So I made myself a beautiful Roasted time and lemon garlic chicken with roasted vegetables. Bella just loves roasted carrots. I also have some cali rice and will have chicken and "rice" gravy when I am hungry.
I put it in the oven early so I wouldn't be cooking in the heat of the day. It is tucked neatly in the fridge. I also cooked up that piece of trout, use it or lose it. Then I will make a salad or something from it. Fridge STOCKED with LC comfort food.

I have all my curtains pulled AGAIN to keep the sun and heat out. I love natural sunlight so this is also depressing to me! But the heat is pouring in.
I am ready for a serious change- change of season in more ways than the weather. I need it.

I feel so guilty writing ALL the frekin time about my whiny self. It is not my nature! Feel free to not even respond to it- I just feel better to write it out.

Now- should I just delete this entire thing and start over?
I think it is wine time! What the hell, then I am going on Career builders and Indeed.
I did apologize to my mom. - She called during this post. I know when I am a real brat!

Gratutide List:
I am paying my bills for the moment - and saving money
I am healthy and independent- able to walk, drive, maintain on my own. You know alot of people even my age are really ill.

I have a BEAUTIFUL family- kids, grandkids
Friends- yes a few I have made here
Awesome neighborhood
Home
Safe, rood over my head, and Roasted chicken with my name on it.
Glass of wine, good wine too- when I am ready for it ( Like I can take a few hours and unwind)
CABLE!!!!! with a great TV, yes I do love my HD TV.

The most important thing. The will and the want to get to a better place. Pulling up the big girl panties and I need to seriously a real deal plan. With goals, interventions and a time line. That WILL give me what I need. Why did I not think of this sooner?
I need a POC - Plan of care for myself.

thanks, all you are also on the thankful list!

JAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -
Rising from the ashes.............
