Monday morning

 Going to work was great, I had some fun drivers who wanted hugs.  

Coming home I had a "boy crazy" driver on my last route so distracted by the man flirting with her she passed up my stop.  I could not get up to the front the way I normally do, to remind them I was getting off.  She was driving pretty reckless and I didn't want a fall.  So I had to get off after my stop and walk back.  I was pretty annoyed, but mainly at Metro for hiring her.  They start at $50K a year with generous benefits, they can do better in the hiring process.  She was very young.  

Mom kept asking if I was scared and I said no, annoyed.  I'm not afraid I'll get hurt in another accident on the bus.  That was a once in a lifetime.  I would worry more about getting hit crossing the street.  

But that's why I've decided to shelve my love life; I'd rather focus on ministry and the whole "Does he like me?" thing takes a lot of time and effort, away from ministry.  If God sends someone He will; but I'm working 12 hour days, some brutal schedules, it isn't fair to a cat much less another human.  

That said, coming home one night about a week ago I ran into Buddy (he wasn't driving my route but he had a layover at my transfer point).  He called me over, we chatted a little, he wanted a hug, I left.  It was nice to see him.  He's doing something different with his appearance and looks great.  

Cleo slept with me last night, that was awesome.  By my head, even, which is my favorite.  

My work bestie is out on a medical leave; she hurt her knee.  She was really struggling so I'm glad she has some time off.  I also think it's going to give management time to appreciate her.  I think they were taking her for granted.  

I love her, so I hope she finds a better job.  She's better than we deserve.  Failing that I hope she does have a full recovery.  

But it's like I told my military vet friend at work; I can work with an injured upper arm, but if it had been a leg or foot problem that would have taken me out.  He agreed.  

The worst part of the weekend they did a "Blake Shelton Radio Takeover" playing country music ALL WEEKEND LONG.  I don't like country music.  I don't like hearing certain songs because Ron used to play them when he'd get drunk.  When he'd get drunk listening to country music he would cry over women he had cheated with, tell me details of the cheating, verbally abuse me, etc.  So I really don't like country music now.  

There's only one in my playlist "All Joy, No Stress" and that has a rapper, Tedashii, in it.  And Ron never heard that.  

It made a bad weekend a lot more difficult; I have customer contact in my job so I can't wear earbuds.  I am currently listening to a heavy metal treatment of the hymn "Just As I Am".  

That's it for now!
