Thanks gang! It's not a qualifier year for Nationals (that is next year) so there is time to get a lot of work done.

Good morning everyone. 21* last night. 38* now at 10 am. GS hockey game at 11 then Ravens football on tv at 1.
I didn't go to the town parade last night. Temp was dropping. Then the other gs had a hockey game after playing trombone in the middle school marching band.

Good Morning Kids! We attended early service again this morning. When I got home I had a message to call my relative's nursing home. Apparently he's back in the hospital, and at least right now, things aren't looking real good. Ugh! What a way to begin a week.

And I am back with my first ever road race medal. A bronze, but hey, it was lot tougher than I expected. Old people are very serious about their athletics, yanno. I was really impressed with how good everyone is, but overwhelmed by how much more work I need to do.

It's the one near to our former home. Which means, if things go "south", I'll have to funeral plan from long distance. Ugh!

Good Morning Kids! Well, a bit of good news here. Although my relative had to be transferred to a different hospital for care not available at the first hospital he was at, he's actually stable, although still sedated. I'll take any good news where I can get it. But, there's still a lot going on. And, of course, no guarantees. Pass the caffeine!

Thanks Bluerobin! It totally stinks having to make medical decisions from a long distance. Plus, medicine keeps changing, so occasionally I need to ask questions. Yup, it's my generation. Gotta question authority. But, I finally feel like there's a good group working on him. So, that's a plus.

Hello peeps. Good to see you on a Monday. My last day off for the year other than Christmas. Taking advantage of it with a physical this morning, vet visit for kitty this afternoon, grocery shopping, laundry and washing my car.

Good Morning Kids! I'm going to request some prayers & positive thoughts. I FINALLY got a call for a job interview here. It's hard to get one in a new, and smaller community, so I'm hoping I get it so I can contribute some $$ to our household.

Morning all. Need coffee. Have to get moving. Nephew (who I drive since he attends the school where I work) has a final early this morning.
Have a terrific Tuesday.

busymom good luck on the interview. I have fasting blood work this morning. If they would just let me have caffeine before hand it would be so much more tolerable. I also choose to have my labs done in work town rather than at the doctors office. The doctors office lab doesn't open until 7:30, when I am supposed to start work. The lab in work town opens at 7am, so I do my commute and make sure I am there shortly before 7 so I am first or second in line, get the labs done and am at my desk on time.

Mornin Muffins! Sharon, I actually prefer blood work at the Doctors. His nurse is so much better with the needle. However, I think I found a place a couple blocks away that may be good. Busy, positive thoughts.

Good Morning Kids! Thank you for the good wishes. I did like the people I met during my interview. The only thing I didn't like was the type of open-ended questions they ask now, but think I did o.k. Time will tell. I won't know for at least a week or two if I made the cut. At least I finally got called in for an interview. Tough town! I've still got a million things to get done this week, so I'd better get to it.

busymom glad the interview went well. I hope you hear soon that you made the cut but with the holidays things may get delayed and it could possibly be after the first of the year. In our meetings we have started discussing who is taking what days off around Christmas and New Years.

My boss did the nicest thing for me today. I had asked to adjust my shift to work 6am - 2:30pm so we could go to zoo lights. He asked if I would like to work from home. Heck Yeah I would. I can get so much more done plus, no commute. I will enjoy the quiet, hopefully get a lot done and then have an enjoyable evening with the kids and grandkids. I kinda feel mean about thinking this but I'm not taking Mom so I can really enjoy the evening and not have to watch out and make sure she isn't falling/tripping/needing a rest etc. I know that Mom needs to get out and do things but I do too, without her.

Sharon I remember that feeling because every now and then I'd do the same kind of thing when my mother was still alive. Sometimes I still feel guilty, but at the time? I just wanted to not have to take her along even though I knew it was something she'd enjoy. Go. Enjoy yourself. Take her for a ride to see Christmas lights when she won't have to get out of the car.

Good Morning Kids! We're getting plenty of rain right now, but I'm not complaining. It's been a long time since we've had steady rain.
I'm still working on Christmas cards.

Hi Everyone!
Last night I got all my Christmas cards done and the ones that need to go into the post are going today. Work cards will be given out next week. I am just happy to have that off my plate.
