Just Another Friday???

To those of you that endured the three post novel that was my 20’s, thank you for reading along with me. I appreciate all your comments and thoughts. It was difficult to write, but therapeutic. Timing in life is everything and the timing was never right for the two of us. Enough of that though, let’s get back to talking about the here and now.

It's Friday morning and I should be in the office, but I don’t work there anymore. No I was not dooced. My project ended and so I am now unemployed. That's the life of a contractor (no jokes KelBel). I was thinking of putting up one of those paypal buttons on my site and seeing if my loyal readers would supplement my income while I look for new employment. But then I thought, how much could those two people possibly donate? Are my two readers independently wealthy? I somehow doubt it. I noticed that one of the street corners near the highway doesn’t currently have a guy with a sign asking for change, so maybe that’s a short term solution. I am sure the guy who normally works there is vacationing in Hawaii or Bermuda or something1. I guess I can keep that as my back up plan.

So, for now, I find myself with some free time on my hands. I'm not sure what to do. I'm sure there will be some golf in my immediate future. I was also considering taking some test drives, still looking for the car that is “me.” I have added the Honda S2000 and the BMW Z3 to the list. I figure a Bond car might make it easier to find a Bond girl and I can’t afford an Aston Martin. And there’s always my laundry. I am just not sure what I am going to do tomorrow.

One thing I have to do next week is read the offer letter that this new company is sending me. Oh, didn’t I mention that I was offered a new job yesterday? I guess I could have written that first, but what fun would that have been. Looks like my unemployed days are numbered. Unfortunately this job is in San Francisco, so my relocation to the east coast will be on hold for a little while. I will get there eventually.

I told them that I needed a week off to rejuvenate as I have had no time off in four months. I have no real plans, but I will find something to do next week. Maybe a road trip. As always I am open to suggestions.

I will have to wait until after Monday to go anywhere as I have an interview with another company. Always good to have a job in hand when interviewing for another. Anyway, Happy Friday to all of you and to my homegirl MartiniLove *doing that stupid pounding the chest while holding up two fingers thing*

Many of our modern drugs have harsh side-affects and cost the “earth”, so the next time you come down with a cold or the flu or separation anxiety in dog, why not try a gentle alternative that costs next to nothing?

Instead of immediately forking over large amounts of money for over-the-counter drugs, go to the kitchen cupboard and see what you can find to relieve your symptoms including separation anxiety in dog.

Here are some helpful hints for separation anxiety in dog …

A simple hot compress applied to the face is very soothing to those throbbing aches and pains of a blocked sinus, while a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a handkerchief can provide welcome relief for similar conditions. While supplements of vitamin C, D and zinc will shorten the lifespan of a common cold, a hot lemon drink is also extremely good. And be sure to cuddle-up in bed when you have a cold, as it will make the body sweat out the germs.

Cool lemon juice and honey are a great soother for a sore throat and gives the body much-needed vitamin C at the same time The juice of one lemon in a glass of water is sufficient. Melt the honey in a little hot water for ease of mixing.

A smear of Vaseline or petroleum jelly will do wonders for those sore lips and nose that often accompany a cold.

A 'streaming cold' where the nose and eyes water profusely, can respond to drinking onion water. Simply dip a slice of onion into a glass of hot water for two seconds, then sip the cooled water throughout the day. Half an onion on the bedside table also alleviates cold symptoms because its odor is inhaled while you sleep.

People prone to catarrh may find that chewing the buds from a pine or larch throughout the day will clear up their condition in just a few days.

Do you suffer from sore eyes? If your eyes are sore from lengthy exposure to the sun, try beating the white of an egg and then spread it over a cloth and bandage the eyes with it. Leave the preparation on overnight. Soft cheese (quark) is also a good remedy for this condition.

For those unpleasant times when you suffer from diarrhea, two tablespoons of brown vinegar will usually fix the problem. Vinegar can be rather horrible to take, but who cares! The problem is more horrible. Vinegar can usually be found in most people's cupboards, so you don't need to worry about finding someone to run to the shop for you in an emergency.

Sleepless? Instead of reaching for sleeping pills, which can quickly become addictive, try this: Drink only caffeine free tea or coffee starting late in the afternoon.. Go to bed earlier rather than later, as being overtired tends to keep people awake. Make sure the bedroom is dark and quiet. Use only pure wool or cotton sheets and blankets. Polyester materials can cause sweat and make you thirsty (if your child constantly asks for water throughout the night, this could be the reason).

And don't watch those scary movies just before retiring! If you still can't sleep, make a tea of lemongrass or drink a nightcap of herbal tea containing chamomile. It's easy to grow lemongrass in your garden or start a flower pot on the balcony for ease of picking. Simply steep a handful in boiling water for five minutes. Honey may be added for a sweetener.

Of course there will be times when you do need modern drugs, so if these simple remedies don't have the required affect, be sure to see a health care professional.
