Belated Weekly Update

My camping trip went fantastically. My sister and I had a great time, we managed to have food even though the fire was giving us a hard time, and it was so beautiful and peaceful up there. Definitely worth the five hour drive and it was some much needed time off work. Bruce Peninsula National Park is a place I could see being better on subsequent visits; the first one to see all the sites, and following ones to actually take time to just relax and enjoy the nature.

Work has been okay this week, with only minor stupidities. I'm doing okay with getting stuff done, but I'm still having some motivation issues. I did buy a cookbook for Food Fest Bingo and I'm looking forward to going through it and finding new recipes.

I've got a few plans this weekend to see family and friends, so I'm looking forward to that, and hopefully some time to relax too.

Sending strength love and best wishes to all of you out there, and I hope you all have the best weekend and coming week as possible. *big hugs*

Breaking the Cycle of Insanity

Things are humming along, and then something goes wrong.
Out swarm the managers to hurry things along.
They question and prod, and stand far too close,
ignoring the signs that they'll soon be toast.

Her voice rises and her gestures get wider;
with less room to maneuver, her voice gets snider.
She tries to be polite, says "Excuse me, please,"
while the refrain in her head shouts "Leave, Leave, LEAVE!"

When the problem is fixed, they go away,
but this same scene will be repeated another day.
She doesn't know how they can be so blind
to all of her warning signs.

They think hovering will get more done,
and so they continue as they have begun;
taking up space and being a pain,
walking into danger once again.

While they may choose to remain the same,
she doesn't have to play their game.
She gives as many warnings as she can
but if they come within arm-span,
they better learn how to duck her waving hands.
