rayvyn2kI have only been to work once this week. Just haven't had the gumption to go. Depression, it sucks balls.
Received a lovely postcard from Santorinie in Greece (forgive any misspelling, my Google-Fu failed) from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
islandsmoke yesterday. She's having a wonderful time in spite of the fact that her luggage arrived four days after she did. I can't wait to hear more about her adventures.
I'm quite out of favor with my pub right now. I can hardly stand to go in anymore. Found out the owners are just like every other management in every other place I've ever known and it's really disheartened me.
Had to cancel our getaway weekend to the mountains due to the weather forecast of rain, rain, rain. No point in going to the Smoky Mountain National Park and not being allowed inside due to the slippery, curvy roads and threat of rock slides. We will hide away in the house instead, playing games and drinking.
Watching the early rounds of Wimbledon with a bit of dismay. Nadal, Federer and Sharapova all out in the first few rounds. Le sigh.
My daughter is doing well in her pregnancy (I did mention she's pregnant with twins, yes?). The twins share a placenta, which puts her in a high risk group, but they seem to be growing at a more or less even rate, so far. The danger is that one twin will take more nourishment, choking off the other. But, so far, so good. She's at about 26 weeks right now, they hope she can make at least 10 more.
Speaking of, her baby shower is this weekend. My sister offered to pay for an airline ticket for me to be there, but I declined. I advised her to use the money to buy something expensive for my daughter instead. She does need two of everything, after all. And hubby and I will be there for nearly two weeks once the babies are born.
Work sucks, as always. I was thinking about the lottery, and how much I would need in order to stop working...it is more than I can hope to get in a windfall (outside of a lottery win, which is slim to none, even if I did play), but not as much as I thought. 150k really. That's more than enough. I wish! If I retire at age 62 (the minimum age today) I still have to wait another 7 years. Why does that seem like such a long-ass time?
Really wish I still lived in Florida. Hubby admitted earlier this week that moving was a mistake. Ah well. We're stuck here now. It all comes back to money, doesn't it?

Date: 6/27/13 06:12 pm (UTC)*hugs for the depression* Also for not being able to go away as you'd hoped - but I'm sure you will make a good job of having an entertaining time.
Good wishes to your daughter for the remaining weeks of her pregnancy. Twins must be such a handful, even before they're born!

Date: 6/30/13 06:33 pm (UTC)Being there when the new babies come will be good. Surrounded by family again, which I miss so much being here.
I'm glad you're on your way, I have been rooting for you.
