Mornign peeps!


Back to work today..I am getting more and more annoyed at getting up early. I hope it's just a phase.
I do go to bed early normally, but I still have a hard time getting up.

Work should be busy today. 3 days of claims not being reported. But I did finish my paperwork from last year so that is good...no daunting pile of paper.

Hubby is starting all eveing classes for a few months so I am a little bummed. I won't see him at all until the weekends


I hope you all have a good start to the new year!

Morning....

I got up way too early for having gone to bed way too late..... Gonna try and get some more sleep here shortly.... it was a yucky day for me yesterday which explains the sleeping.

Buses are delayed 2hrs due to snow.... it won't surprise me if they cancel.... Nice start to back to school for the kiddies. If they do cancel, I will be one child heavy for the day.

Errands to run, and snakes to feed....that's the extent of my day.

Have a good one.

Good am everyone, Boy did we get alot of snow over the weekend. About 12 inches, but very light and pretty. (for about 2 more days, then it can leave).

Going to finish the wallpaper job DH and I worked on. Found a rather large air pocket. I think if I fill one of my diabetic cats syringes with glue and insert into the bubble a few places, I can tack it down. Necessity is the mother of invention!


Have a good day all!

It's cold around here this morning....and windy. Blech

Back to work today, after two four-day weekends. I don't know how to act as I actually have to work five whole days this week. Blech again. Everything is finished from last year and I made sure that I finished all my end-of-year reports for my boss' review, so life shouldn't be too bad today.

Dr appt for blood pressure check. I imagine it's elevated because I gained five pounds in December. Too many cookies and candy and......Blech yet again. But I've started to get back on track with my weight today after all the munching over the holidays. If I can get it off quickly, it shouldn't be too bad.

And I start class today. My GF and I are taking an internet class on Cascading Style Sheets; we're both familiar with HTML, but haven't a clue about CSS, so it should be interesting. I figure that, by about 9:00 tonight, I'll be pulling my hair out and on the phone whimpering for help (I'm lucky that I whimper well). But we shall see.

Have a great Monday!

Hello everybody!!! Wow, first monday of the new year!! I hope every Monday starts like this one for me, I feel really energized.
I am going to organize things, I am moving a TV to my computer room from my bedroom because my bedroom is getting to cluttered and I need more space. I will also vaccuum today..Next Monday I start classes so I want to be ready- all organized and ready to get back into a routine. Then I'd have to study for the LSAT
Too bad, I didn't do even half the work I planned to do this break, but that always happens somehow...
I hope everyone has an awesome monday!

Cool but sunny so far today. We're having an unusually cold winter; it normally only freezes her about 30 days per year, but it's been below freezing every night for the last 2+ weeks already.

Time to move farther south!

Shelter day this morning, then I leave tonight at 10 p.m. for two deliveries in Houston.

Morning,

I'm just sitting here gathering up my courage to head out the door and off to work. I think I've been out there a total of 2 days over the last 2 weeks, so it's hard to get back into the swing. It will probably by 10 by the time I finally drag in the door. Once I get the coffee brewed, I'm going to try to finish up the last of chapter 6 on my dissertation. All it lacks is a couple of tables and then I'll send it to my advisor for review. All that's left after that is to put the results in and write the conclusion. Well, that and a long string of editing and revisions.


I'm going to try to get over to the gym after work. I've been way too sedentary lately and I can feel nagging aches in various joints. As long as I keep them moving on a regular basis, the aches go away. I'm not looking forward to going to the gym though. There will be 3 times as many people as normal this week because all of the people who made resolutions to exercise more will be in there.

Goodmorning!!!

I am back to work today! Which makes me happy since I have lots of cool stuff planned for the second semester of school and I'm eager to have my orchestra try a new piece I picked up.


Winchester, Congrats on the adult cat status!! IT sneaks up on you when you least expect it!

Morning.


Today is my officially my first day of unemployment.
I am taking today off completely from anything of any importance. No thinking about work or insurance or budgets or ANYTHING. Not til tomorrow. It's ok though, I knew the layoff was coming eventually, just didn't really expect it on new years eve. My one boss was crying harder than I was!! Which made me feel bad. But eh, life goes on. If work picks up miraculously for them before I get another job, they said they will be begging to get me back, so that's a good feeling. I don't think it'll happen though. But i can collect for now, and they gave me 3 months(!) severance pay. So I will make it. I want to use some time to get stuff done that i never have time to do, and look into possible school options. But not today.

For today, I plan to go to Kohl's soon to see if i find anything good to get with a giftcard, and then head to the grocery store, and work on the Wii Fit. I love that thing! Kinda actually motivates me to get in shape a bit since it keeps track of what you do and wiehgt and whatnot and lets you know if you're lazy.
I

f i feel like it later on I'm going to try a new recipe called Chili Bean Loaf. Kinda sounds like chili but like in a meatloaf form. I have no idea.


In weather news, the high today is supposed to be 76!!!!


I love SoCal in the winter.


Stay warm everyone else! Have a good Monday!

76? 76!!!
*long, drawn-out heavy sigh*

Honey, at this point, I would kill for 46 degrees. And I'm so serious about that. We've been down in the freezer for so long, it seems like we're never going to get out. (Yeah, yeah, I know.....
)

Today was alright here. This morning I was able to get a good appointment time with my cardiologist for next week....so that helps! (My heart's been acting up again.)

It was the first day back at class for me and since we were midway when we left, our professor gave us our midterm grades today (I'm doing good
) I was really relieved when I saw my average was good, these past few weeks have been insanely hard! I just have to survive the next few weeks and then if all goes well I'll start clinicals in Febuary (keep your fingers and toes crossed!!!)

I'm supposed to go to trivia in a little bit with some friends, then after that I plan to study for a while and take a hot Lush bubble bath since it's sooooo cold outside!

Over the river and through the woods...
Well, I woke up in a blah mood, was in a blah mood all day at work, and was in even a blahher mood once I got home. I guess it the end of holiday blues or something. I also didn't get a good nights sleep last night (body got too used to sleeping in over the long weekend) and I just couldn't wake up, and the cold and snow isn't helping.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but this really bites for the first work day of the new year. Hopefully it's not a trend.
