Spicy isn't always a good thing......

So, if variety is the spice of life.
Then the place of work must be the entire spice rack...with some extras thrown in for good measure.
Adding spice to something generally livens it up, gives it color and enhances the flavor. Uh....okay,
something tells me there are some of us who don't have a lot of spice in our work places. Should you be the spice there....somebody's gonna be allergic, somebody's gonna make a face...somebody's gonna talk about the dish when finished cause you gave it a whole new 'flavor'. Not all spices should be mixed together....oh, boy...I am not gonna even go there. But, I find it so interesting the dynamics of a work place and who you can relate it to the spice rack.....given enough time I could bore you to tears with all my similarities. But, I think you get my drift. Today, my day felt quite a bit like rice pilaf.....you figure it out!!

Outside the workplace, life has taken on some strange curves for me. My parents are getting older and my Dad is fading from this life, slowly. Don't get me wrong he is not ill, just losing interest quickly, strength rapidly and concentration is minimal. The idea of having to "do" a task of say, going for groceries is huge for him. Being with more than two people in a room causes his concentration to go haywire, it makes "his head spin". I get very emotional thinking that one day my Dad won't be on earth anymore, it's a tough thought....cause there is a man who loves me unconditionally....always has, always will....that's my Dad. I'm "his girl". uh...I think I gotta quit here....on to something else .....
We have had some illness in the family and that weighs one down as well.....worry....no wonder I color my hair!!! oh...okay....something a little more upbeat here, ......

Tonight we are finishing the shoveling from the blizzard, our back sidewalk is impassable. I had a little difficulty getting the back door open.....I squeezed through by holding my breathe and making my self REAL tall....grabbed a shovel and scooped out enough to make sure the dryer vent was okay....and the backdoor could be opened easily.

The really upbeat stuff, my husband is making dinner and it's smells Wonderful. Chicken stir fry with basmati rice.....my saliva is doing a little dance....HELLO!!! gotta go now, folks.

Stay warm and God bless.........
