Hello my friends – welcome to another week of Journey with Friends.  This past week was S.T.R.E.S.S.F.U.L!  Does that tell you anything?  LOL.  It all started with mom’s work – the computers went down Monday – what a way to start the week huh?  Have you ever realized how much we rely on computers in the work place?  The computers were down all.week.long.  And get this – they are still down.  There is only so much filing and paperwork that you can work on until you have to have the computer.  I mean we have turned into a society based around the machine.

I also went to the plasma clinic last week a couple of times.  The first time I was turned away because my iron levels were too low.  The second time I was fine.  I have noticed that with the added stress of work, my pulse rate has slowly began going back up again.  Do you have any suggestions to help me with the stress?  I know it’s easy to say, “Don’t let it get to you.”  But really, you know our bodies do what they want to do.

So my friends here we are with the start of a new week – how was your week?  I was up a couple of pounds but I’m okay – I blame it on the stress.  What do you think?  And I don’t weigh at home anymore.  Going to the plasma clinic, I have to weigh there twice a week so I stay on top of these things.

Here’s to a great week my friends!

 

Okay I *Might* Have Had a Temper Tantrum

Did you know that when baby elephants have a ‘fit’ and don’t get their way,  they throw themselves into mud like this little guy and have a ‘temper tantrum’?  Did you know that?

Well, mom called me her little baby elephant this past weekend.  I didn’t get my way so I threw myself on a pillow on the floor with my butt in the air like that.  It didn’t work.  Mom just told me to let her know when I was finished.  My mom – she’s a tough one like that.

 What was the temper tantrum about?  Well I might have grabbed my big box of Gold Fish and taken off with it down the hall to my room.  I know – I shouldn’t have.  But mom confiscated and said no more Gold Fish for the day.  What?  NNNOOO!!  I need my Gold Fish.  Help my friends.
