sunday

I woke this morning with an unbearable headache. Just when I thought I could no longer stand the pain, boyfriend was here with Motrin.
The combination of Motrin, pain, and dehydration from 3 days of GI "problems" knocked me out for 3 hours. I felt a lot better after waking up........
So  I ran to the store for boyfriends birthday present and cake&  I made Fettuccini Alfredo and a salad for his birthday dinner.
It was a early dinner, daughter did the dishes........and i'm back in my gown and robe.......and sons sport socks because i'm chilling..............and I'm ready to go to bed early............hopefully I'll feel waaaaaay better tomorrow, even though I'm going to be written up.......

friday

I'm sitting on the bed next to We-Ping. She's licking my elbow. Cracks me up...
I called off sick from work today. I have a fever, stomach pains, and I had a headache that hurt so bad I could hardly stand it. When I go back to work
I'll probably get my first write up ever for call offs.
I'm crossing my fingers that I feel better tomorrow.
I'd love to get outside and rake up some of the mess I still have out there from when I had the trees removed.............and there's a gully in the back of my back yard that needs to be cleaned out.

thurs.

I only worked for 8 hours today. I left 5 hours early because I had chills and stomach pains. The perfume that one of my co-workers and one of my patients family members was wearing just aggrivated the sick feeling in my stomach. The smell was awful.
Perfume should smell nice. It shouldn't offend the people around you & it shouldn't linger for hours.
But anyways, I felt like crap so I went home.
And now I'm going to bed...

Boyfriend and I took daughter to school and then went out for breakfast. We both had several errands to run, so we did them together.
Daughters letterman jacket is in.......I took her letter and school bars to the shop to have them sewn on the jacket......she doesn't know.....looking forward to surprising her though I'm not sure if she even wants a school jacket anymore. We'll see.

tuesday i think

So today I did my banking AND paid next months bills. I went to the grocery store, and I took daughter and boyfriend out for supper. After supper I went to watch daughter cheer at the HS basketball game. It's the tournament to decide who will play in the state championship game.
We won......we kicked butt, we rocked.................one more game and we're on our way to the state finals.

The 4th time that the cheerleading sponsor walked past me she smiled and said hello. I couldn't say to her what I wanted to say so I just looked at her and said nothing at all.

Tonight I'm going to wrap myself caccoon like in my comforter on the couch, and I'm going to read until I fall asleep.

monday

Boyfriend took daughter to school this morning allowing me to continue to sleep. I didn't wake until 12:30 this afternoon. It felt good.

I cooked a good supper for daughter and boyfriend because I don't as often as I used to and I feel a little guilty.
So I made a glazed ham, big pot of green beans with red potatoes, homemade applesauce, and cornbread. Smells delicious.

It's been a little over 7 months since I had my last cigarette. According to statistics, 6 months of not smoking adds 2 years to your life. I guess I just have to take their word for it. What I do know though is that I'm saving a fortune by not smoking...................and I'm being a positive role model for my daughter...........................and 1 other thing I know is that my skin looks really good and healthy. :O)

sunday

I'm off work for the next 3 days! YAY!

fireworks

Yearly Toyota/WEBN riverfront fireworks show

We-Ping

A pic of WePing crashed X-mas morning after playing with her gifts. We-Ping headed outside to play in the snow.

MoonGirl

This is Moon Girl. She's the kitty who lived with us until her rightful owner was found.
I miss her quiet, sweet, companionship.

my friday

I put in 28 hours of work the last 2 days.
I'm tired. I'm also thrilled to be off for the next 3 days.

After I take daughter to school tomorrow, I'm coming home, sitting on the couch under my big heavy comforter and I'll read......................................and every once in awhile I'll look out the window at the snow.

I have a doctors appointment this week.
I'm looking forward to feeling better...............................

valentines day

Happy Valentines Day.
I took boyfriend out for a late breakfast.
There was an elderly man sitting at the table behind us. He seemed perfectly content being alone...........and yet I felt badly for him..............I wondered if he was widowed, or lonely.  He had a nice face. I bought his breakfast, anonymously. I hope it made his day even brighter.
After our late breakfast we ran to the store and then took a ride.
When I got home I was pleasantly surprised to see that daughter did the household chores that needed to be done............................and then her and her brothers went to the mall and out for dinner with each other.
Boyfriend left a dozen red roses and chocolates on my dining room table for me to find this morning.
The roses are beautiful.
 Sons bought me 2 handbags from Funkees (I think that's the name?) I've been looking at the handbags everytime I go to the mall but can never justify buying them.........they're not expensive......just fun, and 1960ish........luv um.
I love my family.

wed

I didn't do much today.
I rested on the couch, watched t.v., played with We-Ping and made chicken salad.

Work called this morning. Boyfriend just told me.
They left a message saying they needed a nurse,  & did I want to make up
for calling off yesterday.
The answer would have been no..........but I wish I had known before 8pm tonight
that they called.

Nothing new happening.
I'm going to go watch tv.

tues.

Today was a really nice day.
We were slammed by a snow storm lastnight and then through the morning. Daughters school was closed. So
daughter and I went outside to clean off my car (the "Jag.") and to shovel the
driveway.
The cold air was invigorating.
We also worked our way to the grocery store to prepare for another snow storm due to hit tonight.
And when we got home I put some highlights in daughters hair. It looks pretty.

I've just been trying to take it easy. You know?
It's difficult to explain the emotional rollar coaster I've been on ................not even I fully understand it ................I just hope that this is the beginning of the end

Tomorrow is my off day from work. I had an appointment with the attorney  who will represent my daughter in a suit against the school ...........she rescheduled due to the weather.........I'm thinking about changing attorneys..........just a gut feeling.............we'll see.

tuesday?

I was supposed to fill in for another nurse tomorrow because she covered for me Sunday. But I got to thinking about where they would schedule me to work. I called and asked one of the other nurses. I was schedule to work the unit I recently asked to be and was moved off of............Emotionally I feel significantly better than I felt just a week ago.................................but there is no way I can work that unit right now.......I just can't..........and no one else wants to take it..........it's impossible to do...........they know it's imp[ossible...............and to top it off we're expecting a major snow storm tomorrow.........so I'll probably get stuck at work for 16 hours...............................no can do...............................not now.............................maybe when I feel stronger..........so I called off.........I know some people think it's a cop out to call off..................but I swear it's a matter of survival..........self preservation.
