Good Morning,

I think the gremlins are working overtime with me. First being so sick Sunday evening, then having my hearing aid lying on the floor Monday morning, Tuesday evening finding my I pad in my lunch box instead of my purse (I take it to work for lunch time), then yesterday morning not realizing it dropped on the floor in my closet when I was changing out of my night gown when I was getting dressed for work.

Today, I need to do some housework, drop some papers off, and get to Krogers, then come home and this evening go to a play. A normal day off.

What is on your agenda for the day?

Hugs

Happy Afternoon,

I am feeling good. I have gotten through 2 days of work this week, one more to go. It is so much easier to do this year, since 2 of our programs have been dropped. They were a pain in he neck anyway.So our application process has gone from 30/40 min. back to 10/15 min.

Nancy, I hope Rick gets better and home quickly.

I am going to take a few minutes and sit outside. It is so nice out, I want to take advantage.

Hugs,

Hi Everyone!

Time is still flying by for me. We need prayers for Rick. On Friday night he started slurring his words. He was still doing it on Saturday and I took him to the ER. They did not think it was very bad and he did sound a little better when we were in there but they kept him overnight for some tests. He has gotten worse. They think it is a mini stroke but tests are inconclusive. His symptoms are increasing. They kept him today so he could see a heart doctor. i am not sure he will come home tomorrow yet. Now his right side is being affected. So they are thinking there may be a blood clot between the heart and brain but his head would not fit in the MRI machine today. He would have a big head! Not sure what they will do for imagining now. Guess we will wait and see.

I am frustrated because I was supposed to have an 1 1/2 hour meeting to set up my new computer today starting at 9 am. They were delayed and we did not get started until 9:30. Got finished, and had problems with my headset. After we finally got that working about 2pm. I got done and turned off the computer to restart it and I could not log in to my computer. It blocked my password. The y had to totally erase my hard drive, and are now reinstalling everything. It is now almost 10 pm and they are still not done. So 13 hours later I still do not have my computer up and running. Needless to say, I have not been able to go and see Rick today which makes me sad.

I did not get to see him yesterday either as since I had to spend all afternoon Saturday in the ER with him, I had to get supplies to set my office up. We finally go my desk set up Friday night and I had to have everything ready to go for the computer set up today. I have training all day Friday. I am supposed to start work next Monday. Since today took all day and Friday was unexpected, I am not getting my full 3 weeks vacation in. I have put in a request to delay the start date to a week from Monday. With Rick being sick, I want to wait another week if at all possible. I dont know what we are dealing with for him but I know he is going to need therapy.

Meanwhile, the cats are wandering around in circles as the house is a disaster area with the living room all messed up as I try to get the office area set up and Rick not here. On top of that, I fell today and took forever getting back up. I wasnt sure I was going to be able to get up. I had fur babies all around me, checking on me to see if I was ok but of course they were no help.

Hopefully things will get back to normal soon. I will keep everyone posted.

Hi everyone, are any Illinois people planning to attend the national conference in Cary, NC in October? I'm going, as I need some serious motivation to get back on track and take my regain off, (not too bad....25 lbs).

Hello everyone

I am just feeling so miserable today.  The funny thing is yesterday I felt great.  Today I am soooo stuffy.  It's my head kind of stuffy.  Where your face feels like a 1,000 lbs.  And my head hurts from the pressure and my ears are aching.  This appointment with the ENT can't come soon enough.  The funny thing is I had this thought that right before the appointment I would have one of my rare "clear" days and the doctor would be wondering why I'm there...LOL.  Seriously though....I just want to lay my head down on my desk today. 

I was planning on a making a big dinner but I think I will ask Greg to make something so I can just relax when I get home. 

Greg by the way is great.  He is a whiz at computers.  That is what he does.  He also builds databases and writes code.  So I was having an issue with one of my spreadsheets at work.  I do daily spreadsheet at work that shows all the money that came in for the day on one tab and it feeds into another tab totals for the week and the next tab totals for the year.  Well this "automatic" part of automatically totaling for the week and year stopped working for me and I had no idea how to fix it.  So I started to just total it myself and plug the amounts in.  Well of course my old mean boss noticed that there were no formulas in the cells and she called me out on it and let my boss know.  Long story short I showed Greg and not only did he fix it for me but he automated it for me.  He has now asked me for my other spreadsheets and he is going to automate and streamline all of them...saving me a ton of time.  It's great being married to a computer geek...LOL

Well time to get back to work...see ya all later.
