Today I am feeling a bit depressed. First thing this morning I looked on my amazon account and not one Item has been sold from the lot I have been advertising and though disheartening as it is I am still not discouraged and am going to continue my endeavors. After seeing that this morning all the wind was gone out of my sails and I went into work not feeling like taking the day on. 

Work went by as usual but my dismal mood made the clock tick by at a snails pace. the brightest part of my work day was when my Marisella came by to see me for lunch. she was in pain as work was hard on her and her nerve pain in her leg was acting up on her but she put on a smile and warmed my heart with her company. Alas lunch was over way to fast, in contrast to the dragging on that the workday brought and Marisella was off and I too went back into work. 

The afternoon brought in snow which added to my poor mood. Quiting time was nearing and after cleaning my station and scrubbing down the buffing area I was allowed to leave my workplace for the weekend. Today was Friday and my usual day to have my youngest children and so I called their mother to have her prepare them to come and stay with me only to find that young Christopher was sleeping and Parker was playing games and so i resigned to them not coming over. The night was sure to be cold and so I did not press the issue with their mother.

I arrived at Marisella’s apartment where I intended to be parked for my days off and she picked me up from the bus so that we could go to the convienent store and buy tobacco. My oldest son Ryan was working when we arrived and we joked and jested with him a bit before leaving back to her house. Such jovialness with him brought a smile to my heart and it was much needed. Once again at Marisella’s apartment we cooked dinner and I surprised myself by using some spices that I have never before used, tarragon and codudum and created a very passable oriental sauce for our stir fry. Dinner now done and ate I bathed and then proceded to do my work.

there it is another short entry for a very melancholy  day.  I hope tomorrow brings better news and better weather, both of which are needed I will now call it a night and be quick to bed to hasten bringing on another day that I am sure will probe to be a better one.....Goodnight
