Since life has been nothing but chaotic and drama filled over the last two weeks, I am first focusing on the lovely peonies in the photo. They are birthday peonies (really they are just plain peonies but since it's my birthday weekend they are birthday peonies). They have all opened into their fluffy blooms and the scent is amazing and makes me smile every time I catch a whiff. The benefit of buying peonies and not merely cutting them from the garden is there are no ants.
I do love flowers that actually have a scent and as the woman in front of me at Trader Joe's yesterday said, there is nothing more disappointing than a gorgeous rose that doesn't smell like anything. All flash and no substance. When I pointed out I knew people like that, she chuckled.
Work has been continued drama with my clueless boss and his boss who dislikes me. I, not being a shrinking violet, marched to HR to defend myself and the drama continues. Basically instead of focusing on all the things I did accomplish (and worked my butt off last weekend for) I got dinged for such minor items that I am truly insulted. So once my travel in July for the database relaunch is done it may be time to move on. It sucks not being appreciated for all my hard work.
