Is this world getting crazier or what?

Life is still piling up on me (us here,) as it is I guess for everyone. How do people deal? How? And to make matters worse?.....have you read about the Causeway Cannibal down here? I know the area, been there more than once.Not far from where I grew up,....Is that disgusting and DISTURBING???OR WHAT??? What is the matter with people? Is this world getting crazier by the day?! I just can't handle it,...how does everyone else? Is it just me? I feel like it is,....everyone else that I read on their blogs just seems like,...la,la, laaaa. Maybe I let things bother me too much. Maybe I'm too sensitive. (Altho towards people I'm getting colder and colder by the day.) Maybe I just don't belong down here in South Florida anymore. I don't feel like it's my 'home'. I've been here my whole life, and loved it when I was a kid, and growing up, and even as a teenager, but since moving out of Coconut Grove,(which was no picnic area either,) things have just gone downhill fast. Moved to Lauderdale-by-Sea, which you would think was a nice area, but you'd be surprised. They are all  just older, wealthier crooks and idiots, who can cover their tracks better because they have money. Really. You'd be shocked at what goes on in some of these high end condos, and the crap people have to deal with and ultimately put up with.Condo Commandos. Never again. Never. I don't care if it's oceanfront, and GIVEN to us, NEVER AGAIN. I will not live in any kind of high rise condo ever. Even the really nice one we bought across the street that was only ten units,(to rent out, and/or have family stay at,) was a nightmare. So we do know firsthand. We were never problem people, we always followed all the the rules, never were late with payments, or special assessments,....but the things we had to deal with,.....you would never have believed. Okay,....enough. I give. I'll shut up now. On a different note,....remember my ducks? Well the one that is still alive? Squeakers I call her. Well,....she's now sitting on a nest right in the bushes of the front door of my work. She's stayed close. So I keep saying I'm going to be a grandmother. She is so sweet. I've been feeding her and giving her fresh water everyday. She won't leave her nest. I feel so bad. Last time she had ducklings Big Boy was here with her, and helped her, and kept the few chicks that survived alive. (Two out of thirteen lived thanks to Big Boy protecting them all.) I don't know how to help her without her little hubby around. I am trying to get in contact with a place called Duck Haven, and hopefully will be able to relocate her to someplace safe. I'm sure gonna try. Enough. I'm going to watch the finale of 'Blue Bloods' and 'The Hatfields and McCoys'. One minute I'll be laughing and the next crying. Just like in real life.

A bunch of Nothing

Decided to take off an extra two days from work, (so I've had a nice 4 days off filled with nothing but my husband, making dinner, playing with Munky and Sugar, and watching the hockey playoffs and many, many naps. Loving it.) I go back to work tomorrow, and start fresh. It's what I needed,...I think I was heading for a big breakdown. Things were getting to be too much for me and my husband. For the exception of today, it's been rainy, dark and windy here for three of the four days I've been off which is more than fine with me. I love dark, rainy days. More of an excuse to lay in bed, watch some TV, and cuddle with my hubby and kittehs.(Wait til we get dogs. :) cant wait for that.) Anyhow~ really stressing about our condo not being sold yet.  Haven't heard anything back from that production company either. Oh well. Been watching alot of House Hunters on HGTV,....I'm addicted. So is my husband. We see all the beautiful places that could be ours, and then we watch House Hunters International, and really go crazy. I think I want to move to Medira, Mexico. I saw THREE gorgeous, gorgeous homes that these guys got to chose from, and there was NO WAY they could go wrong with any of them. (And if you watch the show, you know there is usually only one house that fits all the criteria that the people are looking for.) All THREE were drop dead gorgeous, and I really want to go look at the two homes they didn't get. I'm serious. They were that gorgeous for only $200,000. Very nice. We could live in Mexico. I've been there a few times, but I would have to research that area. Believe me, I was SOOOOOO bowled over by those houses, I immediately wrote down the city, and the original air date of the show and wrote them an email. Haven't heard back from them either. So I have a bunch of nothing. Nothing. I can deal with it. I don't have a choice right? And I miss my duck.

Same stuff different day

Not so much going on with me as usual. So.FL. is becoming more and more evil to me every day. Things just keep piling up for us. One thing after another to do, just life. Last week at work was HORRIBLE. I went to work and my ducks were there and the next day they weren't,...and then someone from the restaurant across from us, came over Weds. night and told me they found my Big Boy duck ran over. I cried and cried. I know it sounds stupid, but I've been feeding/watching-out for him for over a year now, and it killed me to hear about him. It was my one bright spot at work that made me happy,...now his little mate,(I call her Squeakers) is there wondering around looking for him. It's too sad for me to think about. I cried for days at work. I just need to get a hold of myself, but that poor thing really made my day,.......I miss him. RIP Big Boy,(on the left, with Squeakers in the middle,) I need to get away from people and all the things this area is. I really can't tell you what a beautiful area this used to be, and it gets worse and worse literally by the day. We live in a good area, but every day it seems there are cops looking for someone, or something bad happening. I've never seen anything like it in any place I've ever lived down here. It's very disturbing, and kinda scary. I really can't wait to leave, and I'm sure you and everyone here are sick of hearing me complain about it. I'm telling you the day we actually leave here will be SUCH A RELIEF and a big load off our shoulders. On a better note- we have been getting a little more action concerning our beach condo. And listen to this,...some production company that films reality shows,(like Mob Wives,etc.) wants to film and maybe purchase our condo. Who knew?! Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll buy it and we'll see it on TV. (How pathetic is my little life right now? I hate reality TV.) Oh well, it's something on the good side for once if anything comes of it.
