****Thursday Roll Call****

Gooooooooooooooooood Morning Peeps!!!!!  

Today is the official last day of school for Steffi, me and any other poor sucker who teaches in the School District of Philadelphia!!!!!!  Yippeeeeeee   The past week has been torture in so many ways.

During some boredom today at work, I called Dr. Marymor, or was it yesterday?  Well, anywho, I have my three year follow-up appointment with him in the middle of July.  I scheduled earlier in the summer, because of my grandson's expected birth in August, in Michigan.

So, Thursday has me going into school, again, and watching paint dry and cement harden some more.  Today's busy work was almost as exciting.  After work, I am scooting home to pick up Utley, and heading to Wilkes Barre for an overnight at Mom's.  She has my sister's dog crate, and Sis is willing for me to have it.  Psycho-puppy must be crated, as he is discovering the joys of chewing things that just were not meant to be chewed.  I can only stay one night, because I am working at the hospital on Saturday, AND, Mom does not have cable, which means I canno****ch the Phillies games.  I offered to take her to a Sports bar for dinner, and she insists I play Scrabble with her instead.  Damn, I hope she does not take me out of the will for any petty reason, because giving up watching the Phils to play Scrabble is quite a sacrifice.

When I get home, I must find my Beck book, because I want to get started on that ASAP.  It is lost in this disaster I call my apartment.  I may have to get a new one, just because I am desperate.

Hugs,
Trish

Well you are WAY to chipper for freaking 1am, Ms. Trish!!

Anyway....it's 4:20 now...I'm almost done at work.  And right now I'm being "lazy"  I had a preceptee until 3am....so she did most of the work during the 7p-3a shift....and then by 3:45 I had all my patients discharged...so theoretically I should go up to the charge nurse and ask what she wants me to do....but I'm not...I'm sitting here typing roll call.  Oh well.  I've had my butt kicked for no extra money...so I'm taking the nice break :)

Anyway...on the way home I'm stopping at Wegmans....then home...litter boxes...and that's about it for today!!!!  Maybe some guitar hero just for kicks.  Or rollerblading...but I don't know about that one.  I'm pretty sore and my female friend is visiting and making me very not happy.....

Have a GREAT day all!

Pam

Hey Pam.. I know you probably can't tell me much due to HIPAA, but did you have a little boy in there last night around 8 or 9 pm last night who hit his head? His name is Isaac and is around 1 or so?  Siehara slept over at her friend's house last night and she said that the mom was at the hospital with the little brother because he hit his head.  I assume they were there with you and just wanted to be sure he is ok.  

I'll be talking to the mom at some point this morning to arrange for pick up of Siehara, but just wanted to check.  If you can't tell me I understand.

A...you are right...I wouldn't be able to tell you....however...if he was there he wasn't in my area as I, personally, had no pediatric patients last night and with an over 50 bed er...I rarely know what's going on in other areas....I hope he's alright, though :)

Goooood Morning and right back atcha Trish!  Yay for the last day of setting the alarm for a few months! :)  (hey - first time I am using a smily IN a post!)  It's gonna be a great day! :))

We actually have a luncheon planned with our faculty to say goodbye to an amazing Autistic Support teacher who is going downtown starting next week and to honor MY partner teacher who was named Teacher of the Year this year.  Usually, we can leave right after the luncheon and start our summer break - however, we found out yesterday that we HAVE to come back to school after the luncheon.  Crazy!!!!!!!!

Oh well - no use in complaining - I mean - I am off for two whole months and will be doing a TON of travling! :)  Have I mentioned that I LOVE my job?!?!?!  

After school today I think I will FINALLY get started with my sons packing - since he leaving for eight weeks this Tuesday - I REALLY love summer! :)  I need to order my cell phone to have with me in Israel and I am sure there are about a million other things I need to do to get us all ready for my leaving the country - like.....hhhmmmm.... what to do with the kids when hubby is working night work - you know - minor things like that! :)

Oh - and I have my three month check up with Dr. P on Monday!  Can't wait!  As of Monday morning, I was down 55.8 pounds!  WAHOO!!!!!!

Hope you all have a SUPER FANTASTIC day - (Sorry for the excitement - have always loved the last day of school! :))

I would be extatic if this was the last day of school for me! Unfortunately it's not.

I am still in a funk - not feeling well and dragging emotionally. I am not super busy at work so unfortunately that gives the mind more time to wander. After work today I don't have any plans other then making dinner and relaxing. Starting to wonder if I should have been taking it easier the last few days insteading of busting by butt at work...

Well anyway - off to face the day

 Liz,
Grief takes time, and you can't force yourself through it.  Give yourself permission to feel the way you feel, and just put one foot in front of the other.  If you practice any spirituality, or religion, dig into that aspect of yourself.  

Hugs,
Trish

It's Thursday and pay day eve!!! That's about the only thing keeping me going today.LOL!!
That, and the fact that I survived my crazy life yesterday and having nothing crucial on the calendar today except work and the possibility of bingo tonight!

Well, I guess I just posted roll call!! HA HA!!!


At some point, I am going to have to pick Siehara up from her play date that turned into an overnight.  I also got a text yesterday inviting her for a play date today so I may just pick her up from one and drop her off at the other.  I have a change of clothes for her in the car!!! Maybe that'll turn into an overnight too!!  That would also be cool so I wouldn't have to pay a babysitter.  HEEE HEEE

Okay enough rambling.. I've got work to do and better get to it.


EDITED to include:

Oh by the way, at my PCP visit yesterday, they decided to put me on a low dose of a cholesterol med to try to fix my ratio of numbers.  He was thrilled with my triglycerides and the overall cholesterol number he said wasn't too bad.  But, the good was too low and the bad was too high.  He put me on 40 mg of Zocor once a day.

Well, I was going to try to go in for the last day of school, but I think I will continue my recouperation at home.   I am feeling slightly optomistic that I am actually starting to feel better today.   I am leaving for a week at the shore on Saturday so I hope if I feel well enough I can get some laundry and packing done.  Sure doesn't feel like the official start of my summer missing those last five days at school, but I'll try to muddle through somehow.

Good morning!!!!!

Trish--Welcome to summer vacation!!!!!! It is the most wonderful time of year isn't it??!!!

As for me today is pretty quiet...I'll clean up the dishes from last night-straighten up the living room a bit--run the vaccuum--and then just hang out here at the house and relax.....

My life is never ending excitement I'll tell you!!! LOL  But I am def getting my craft stuff out today--cross stitch and sewing machine!! Do some productive stuff instead of sitting oon the computer all day!!! 

But that is about all for me--I do love the summer! (Well except for the humidity that is wrecking havoc on my hair!!!!!)

Have a great day everyone!!!!!!
Much luv!!!
