The Mental Shaking off of a Bad Situation and the Marlies
How do you get rid of a pain in the butt? I am trying to be the better person. I give out great advice about how to deal with the situation. I try to take the higher road, give the person the benefit of the doubt. The whole thing should have died a natural whimpering death, I even admitted that it did not affect me emotionally. Not anymore. The person is no longer in my work world but the tentacles of his poison are still winding it's way through the group home. Time to take a hot shower and cleanse myself of the entire situation.
On a lighter note I went to see the Toronto Marlies play on January 4th as a birthday gift. What a time, it's nice to see our team win consistently. The fans there are loud and boisterous. I got a kick out of the people seated in the goal zone area, with their orange clapper sticks (I'm sure there is another name for them). The banging would start out strong and loud but there was always one point where it could not sustain itself and it would slowly lose the beat and fade away. Me & my sister Arlene started listening for that exact moment. I think we chatted non stop inbetween yelling for the Marlies. There is nothing like hearing the scratch of ice skates on the ice, the sound of the puck on stick and boards and the occasional body hit.
