We have to pick up stinker's trumpet today and take all the camping gear back to storage so we can have our living room back.  Hubby is at his first Weigh****chers meeting.  I hope it's going well for him.

Other than that, there is nothing on the agenda for today.

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Gonna lounge around until we need to go to Costco and then to Willow to serve in the Green Room. Later afterwards we will go to Itasca's Oktoberfest. Hopefully the skeeters will not be too bad as they have been.

What is going on in your corner of IL?

Happy Friday Nancy,

Sounds like you've had a long week this week. I hope next week goes well for you.

PT is going great, I have one more week to go and I think I'll be done. I guess I'm doing good, this week and last weekend was okay/so so, I've been feeling somewhat depressed in what I went through this year and what lays ahead of me between now and the end of the year 2015. I find ways to get out in what I'm feeling by listening to music and read some books. I think I have a surgery date for my right knee replacement for September 22, 2014. This will make surgery number for this year. Also for the last two plus weeks my right hand in the fingers that they been feeling some numbness, I e-mailed my doctor what I'm going through with my right hand (the doctor that did my Chiari Decompression surgery) and he ordered an MRI test called "MR BRAIN" and I had that test done yesterday (09/04/2014) and I do have an appointment with my doctor this coming Monday on 09/08/2014 and I wonder what he'll say and what he'll tell me about the MRI test that I had done. I hope it's nothing. Now I'll be sitting on pins and needles until I see my doctor this coming Monday. Wish me good luck that all goes well for me on Monday.

Have a great night.

Happy Friday Everyone!

It has been another hectic  week in la la land!  I come home at night scratching my head and wondering how long I will have a job and why people just dont leave if they dont like their job.  Our customers have been very challenging lately and things sure are confusing and changing every day but a lot of my fellow employees seem not to be willing to go with the flow and seem to have an axe to grind and are taking it out in their service to our customers or should I say lack of service.  

Then when the customers get someone who cares, we get an earful and of course, we do our best to smooth things over, clean up messes and try to make everything better.  My handling time is up this week and I am sure I will hear about it, but the calls I have had are unbelievable.  I cannot believe the corners that people have cut or the lack to help they have given customers.  They are blowing people off.  If we want to keep our business we cant do that!  

I am planning to just kick back and relax this weekend.  I really had a nice weekend last weekend and was ready to go back to work Monday.  So hopefully I can get that feeling back this weekend. 

Lisa, your surgery will be here before you know it!  Good luck!  I was so nervous the day before my surgery I could hardly sit still.  Also I was filled with second thoughts which was normal.  I also could not wait to just get it over with!  It is the best thing I ever did for myself and I would do it again in a heart beat so dont try to second guess yourself!  Hang in there!

Crystal, I am so sorry with all you are going through at work.  I am relieved that someone went to bet for you.  You are a hard worker and they SHOULD be realizing what you contribute.   No one deserves to be demeaned, put down or yelled at.  That type of boss needs to be fired or demoted.  She is not management material at all!   If she had someone treating her that way she would be running for the hills.  Crystal, did Amanda and Charles head west already?  Have they settled in at a new location?

Connie your trip is sounding great and your pictures are super!

Lisa, i hope they get those new programs figured out soon.  Such a headache when programs dont work right and they expect us to use them anyway.  

Karen, it sounds like you are doing good.  it is so nice to hear from you again.

Chris, how is your new boss?

Carla, when are you headed back our way?

Sharon, where are you?

Jessica, how are you doing? 

Jason, how is PT coming and the hip recovery going?

Everyone have an awesome weekend!
