What???

What the hell happened last night??? I stayed up and watched the late episode of ghost hunters. It comes on at 12. I had been amazingly tired all day. I lay down and 1. Nope, sleep isn't gonna happen. What the hell???? Gigantor gets up to let the pacing ass dog out at 4. Sleep still hasn't come. I ask him to make coffee before he leaves cuz god knows I'm gonna need it. I finally fell asleep about 5:52, and my alarm goes off at 6. I hit the snooze till 6:45, but still.

Anyhow, other than my insomnia problems, we have had a couple little things of good news.

Most of you know, that I have struggled with some health problems. And because of some of my health issues, my weight started to balloon out of control, and once it did, it caused more health issues. It was a horrible struggle. Well...as most of you remember I went out to Texas to stay with my sister last summer, to work on some of those, and one of them being the weight issue. Last May I had a checkup, and weighed a certain amount. After the summer was over I had lost 30lbs. (that was a checkup in late August). Well...I had to have my yearly checkup again this month. I was sorta sweating it. Wondering if I had stayed the same or gained. Cuz although I have tried to keep up with all the lifestyle changes, I was having a hard time exercising, because I kept getting hurt. Anwhooooo, I went in to the doc on Monday, and I had lost 35 more pounds. Whooooo fricken hoooooo. So a total of 65 in one year. I know it's not a ton, but at least it's coming off.

Okay now our second good news. Gigantor has worked in a steel yard for the last 12 years. The boss is a major ass. He has cut back the health ins so much, that it doesn't seem worth having. Over the years, he's taken off the vision, the dental, and made it a 2500 dollar deductible. Also he doesn't pay Gigantor the best. And...get this shit. The guys that work there that are of the same church as the boss, well they not only get better pay. But every year they get 2000 bucks that they can invest or whatever. The boss does it in cash, so nobody can come back and say he isn't providing retirement for everyone. Cuz we already checked into suing him for it. Gigantor is one of the best workers out there, and he didn't go to the same church, so he never got the so called "retirement" package.

Anyhow, my hubby has been looking for another job hard for the past year or so. And he went and applied with the garbage people. It's not like it used to be, now everything is with high tech trucks, and you dump it in a building, and it gets trucked out, so you never have to even touch the trash. Anyway, back to the story. Well...they offered him the job. Same rate of pay he's getting now, with raises every year. Full insurance, including vision and dental, 401K, life insurance, and they will pay for his CDL and 100 a year for work boots.

Oh yeah, you dam skippy, we jumped at the job. He will be so much happier there too. No more crap from that ass.

But get this, when he went in and gave his two week notice. The first thing his boss did was tell him "I refuse to let you go over there" And Gigantor told him there was nothing he could do about it, it was for his family. Then the boss started threatening him. Can you believe it? Threatening!!!! So...Gigantor did offer to work part time for the boss, cuz in the winter, the hours will cut down with the waste company. And the boss keeps telling him. "Well I'm crunching number, don't go to work there yet" whatever he offers won't be near as good, or as stress free. Gigantor is convinced that he is trying to make him wait till the garbage place fills the position. What the ass doesn't understand is the position is filled, they just let Gigantor be nice and give his ass of a boss 2 weeks. hehehe Boy next Friday is gonna be so funny when he walks out of there with all his stuff. I would love to be a fly on the wall and see the boss's face hehehehehe

Okay that's all I got. Happy Thursday all.
