Small Size Lingerie - a big problem

I've got a big (small) problem. Each time I want to buy a bra I'm in trouble. I need an "extra small" size and it's really difficult to find one that has a low cup size but it's long around the chest. Usually plus size lingerie is easier to find than small size lingerie. At least is what I realize each time I go to the lingerie store.

I try small cups but they are always too tight, so most of the time I end up going home without the bra.

A few weeks ago I found the perfect size for me and get what, I don't know what kind od material is it, or if it has a strange cloth material, I'm allergic to it. I'm doomed. That's why during winter I barely use bra, breasts are too small and under 2 or 3 shirts no one misses the bra.

Feeling stressed picture

This picture of the Cat and the Flower drove so many visitors to my site, I wonder why!.

Let's see what happens with this picture. This is the way I feel most of the days when my bosses are here around me, buzzing on my ears.



Birthday party day is approaching

Next week it's my son's birthday party and we still haven't decided how the party is going to be. He invited 30 kids, I hope only half will attend the party otherwise I'm going to have a big headache.

If more than 15 kids are coming to the party we have to clean up the garage and make the party there. The garage it's big and has plenty of space to put the tables with food and drinks. There are a lot of camping gear that has to be moved from there to another room, also some boxes with old clothes I have there to give away.

All I can say it that it's going to be a very interesting party day!

Technomarine watch

My nephew loves bodyboard. During winter is difficult to get good weather to practice the sport but Santa brought him a Technomarine watch that he will use during the sport practice.


Although this watch is more useful for people who dive, as he has to be in the water during bodyboard practice he wanted a special watch that allows water permanence.

If you are a diver, this watch will be useful for you.

Monday I'll get back to hell again

Today it is my last day at home. My daughter is totally recovered from surgery and my days at home are almost over. Monday she gets back to school and I have to go back to work.

I have a new co-worker who began working there on January 2nd, and poor girl, she stayed there almost alone since January 8th because it was the day of my daughter's surgery and since then I've been at home. We hardly had time to know each other so Monday it's going to be the big start over.
I have to make an employee performance evaluation till the end of the month since she is on trial phase yet.

The office I work for has a very strange environment since it is a family business and we, employees, have to to do everything, from picking up a forgotten suitcase in the bosses car to important businesses on the phone, so I don't know if she's going to handle the pressure.

Meanwhile if someone wants to offer me a job online I will be pleased to quit my job!!!

Modern adjustments

This year, and once there is no money to pay for the gas to use in central heating we decided to buy some wood and light the fireplace at night. We live in a condominium of 12 houses and we have a common basement where the garages of all the houses are.

So when I phoned to the wood men I said the truck had to be small so that it could enter in the main gate and drive to my garage without hitting the pipes there are along the way. He said no problem, that he was already experienced in going "underground" with the truck.

He arrived and slowly he went down into the entrance and there was grill on top of the cabin that was going to hit, he just switch a button and the grill went down. He then told me that, due to amount of houses nowadays with garage in the basement he had to adjust the truck. He went to the truck accessories store and he bought that grill that in normal circumstances allow him to load the truck till a higher level.

The wood was delivered inside my garage so storage was very easy. We have been the fireplace working all days but...but it's not a good solution. The living room is warm but the rest of the house freezing and I guess that's the cause of my daughter's cough.

Two different insurances, two different reactions.

Regarding bills and on this case insurances, January had a negative balance. My life insurance increased 74$ and as the bill only comes one or two days before the money is taken from my bank balance, so it was a big surprise and made me think about the other bills I still have to pay.

My auto insurance was a big surprise once the amount is going to be the same this year. I'm glad two years ago I asked for a auto insurance quote with this insurance company because besides having low rates they have low price variations.

Beautiful Photo - The cat and the flower

I received this image on my office email, and although the day was not going the way I liked it to go, this photo made my day.

I'm not very fond of cats but this photo made me smile. It's beautiful and transmits a serenity and calm I need sometimes.



Too much bathrooms or too lazy to brush teeth

Having three bathroom in the house can be very helpful but can also cause some small problems.

We have a bathroom on the first floor and two on the second floor. When it comes to brush teeth, the kids always find excuses to not brush their teeth. One time because they are too sleepy and they don't wanna brush them, other time because the toothpaste is on the other bathroom, etc. etc.

Now, there are no more excuses, we went shopping for some bathroom vanities and now we have a glass for toothbrushes in every bathroom. I wonder if they find another excuse.

We need better conditions for senior living around here

I didn't know Alzheimer disease could be so destructive, not only for the patient but for the ones taking care of them.

My mother really is on her limits and loses her patience when my father spends the whole day calling her to do things that are impossible, like going for a walk. He can't even spend time in a wheel chair. He stays in bed day and night, he can sit for a few minutes only with human help and many, many pillows around him so that he doesn't fall out of bed.

I just hoped we could be able o provide some more quality senior living to my parents but there are no specialized centers for Alzheimer patients around here that could provide better conditions and help. My mother is going to take care of him for as long as she can, then we'll see.
