Tuesday Roll Call
Good Morning Kids, what is on the agenda for today? I did not get to Target yesterday after work. I will see what I feel like doing after work today. Today is my late day at work (4pm) and I usually just want to get home and veg out. But, in the meantime I have some books to look through to get ideas for different veggies to plant next year. I wish that Burbee had the 2009 catalog out already . . . . . . .

Good morning all,
I have been up since 2:30, woke up with lots of things on my mind. Couldn't fall back to sleep so climbed out of bed at 3. Made a cup of soothing tea. Still wide awake....been spending some more time cleaning up my desk........lots of paperwork came in during the past two weeks for my MIL and my mom. Mostly Insurance paperwork and one SS report to do for MIL. I know I'll be sleepy later as I didn't even go to bed till 11 pm.
Today Earl & I will be running around doing some errands and grocery shopping. Then to Jen's for awhile. The girls went to their dad's yesterday after school, so we don't have school bus duty till tomorrow.
Last night I started a hat for Cheyanne, tore it out twice as I didn't like the way either yarn I bought to go with the purple boucle looked. So I'll stop at wally world today for another skein of the purple boucle and just make it that way. The yarn is kind of thin when worked up so need to double it so it will be warm for winter.
Guess I'll go start the coffee now...Earl will be up soon. Have a great day!
Hugs, Paulette

Hello Everyone 
I had a great weekend with my daughter. We had a slumber party night and stayed up late watching horror movies and eating chips. It was lots of fun.
Before I went I did groceries for her. I brought her bags and bags of groceries. My daughter eats healthy (she's a vegetarian) so I bought her lots of good for you food. No junk food.
Yesterday I had my nuclear stress test. It took about 2 1/2 hours. I had to jog on a treadmill (they said I did really well) when I was done I was really sweaty. I'm glad I took the day off of work. I wouldn't want to go to work sweaty. Then I just laid down for 20 mins for the imaging part. Today I have to go back in and do the resting images. Its a little uncomfortable to just lay there and not move. My foot was falling asleep. So on the good side I'm taking half of the day off today.
All of this testing. I'm almost done with this part of it.
Have a good day.

Good Morning Illinois
Brrr it is cold this morning. I did not want to crawl out of my warm bed this morning. I turn my heat down to sleep as I love curling up under the covers..... but that means making a run for the thermostat in the morning. I could get one of those programable ones but then I would be too hot while the furnace kicked on with all the cats in bed with me. 
Cant win.
I got my new garbage disposal installed yesterday! 
Such a relief to be back in business again. Today I get to surprise one of my cats with a trip to the vets for her shots. Won't she be thrilled?
Have a great day!

Good Morning All,
It is a chilly morning. I had to turn on the heat also. It was 65 in my house this morning when I woke at 5am. Now it is nice and toasty.
Today I am going to work. Should not be a bad day. I am pretty caught up on things. I just need to stay that way so when I leave for my surgery the girl doing my stuff wont be too lost. I took vacation in July and she was kinda confused so I want to make it easier for her this time.
Speaking of time off. I am having the RNY and I have told my boss that I was taking 3 weeks off. Does this seem like to long, to short , or just right?
Anyway, I am off to get ready for work. Everyone have a great day today.

Hi Maria,
3 weeks could be enough. I think it depends on the healing from where drains were. One of mine was painful up until week 4. And I was easily fatigued.
Maybe you could do half days after 3 weeks if you need to? I know the work never stops flowing in and colleagues can start to resent the extra work when someone is away.
I did what I said I would not do my first week back - worked nearly 10 hour days! Just to catch up.
of course I am out sick today so that backfired.
Make sure you are ready and well , and then take it slow, that's my 2 cents.
Hugs,
Cathy

Good morning Chris and my IL family,
Today I don't really have anything planned. I actually got all my errands done yesterday. Not sure if anyone heard about that bad car vs motorcyle accident in Aurora where a Med Air helicopter had to be brought in for the motorcycle rider who was seriously injured. It said that the copter had to land at West High's athletic fields?? That's my son's school. The accident happened right in front of the school about 10 minutes after I left from dropping him off! scary. This week they have an emergency drill to practice...a lockdown! remember the good old days when we only did fire and tornado drills?
I am also VERY frustrated with the Kane center as they still have not called me back about my blood work that I had done back on Oct 6th. I have called now 4 times and every time I get told someone will get back to me that day...nothing. What would you guys do? My B1 was very low last time and they wanted to really watch it...well I don't think they are doing a very good job. oh well, just had to vent. Hubby doesn't get how important it is to keep up on the bloodwork so he doesn't get why I get upset. lol
I hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning. The city is up the block tearing out the street. Not sure why, but its noisy.
It is going to be another busy day for me. and this is just the beginning. Now that it is cooler, people want heir utilities turned on. We can only go so fast with over 100 apps for turnons coming in each day.
Gotta go,
Hugs and have a great day,
