Stupid Insomnia Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning all - sorry to hear about the sleepless night, Norm - hopefully you can crash for a short time after the dentist tonight.

I'm at work - very quiet here - lots of folks out traveling or sick. One guy has been sick since last week - came in yesterday for about 1/2 day and is home again today - he sounded terrible when he called but refuses to see a doctor. That suckwad better not have H1N1 or anything else he's going to pass around. Its not myself that I'm worried about but taking something home to my mom who is already compromised.

Other than that a quiet day - work, home, work-out, relax...

Good Morning Norm & PA:

Not much on my agenda for the day. Go to lab have to do that this morning.

Treadmill today, have to get on it.

Some reading for my classes.

Tonight the electritian is coming to take a look at the work that will be needed for the renovations on the house for his estimate.

Hope everyone has a great day....

Good Morning Norm and all - Hey Norm - do you realize the havoc you could have wreaked on everyone's facebook page?!?!  Next time you find yourself awake at that crazy hour - just think of how much fun it would be to spread the cheer throwing virtual toilet paper on other's walls....No - you may NOT ask me how I know this stuff!

So - today is my crazy day - work til 3:15, then work again 4-6, then again 6:30-8:30....Then I collapse.  BUT....The good news is that tomorrow is a trip to New York, I have a "specialist" appointment with, "Dr. Broadway"  I seem to have the same affliction two times a year - wierd how that happens in October and again in May - It must be some type of allergy or something! :)

So - I talked to my doctor and we are going to up my PMS meds.  It took me five days to snap out of it this month.  I am used to one day being a total mess, crying, screaming, up and down, but five days was too much - my poor students are feeling the brunt of it - so hopefully an increase in my meds will bring me back to a hopefuly, "normal" place!

I hope you all have a nice, albeit wet,Tuesday!

Good morning.

I am here. My 2 oldest boys both have the flu. So they are quarantined to thier rooms. They are only allowed to come out if they need to use the restroom and they MUST wear a mask. I am scrubbing my hands each time I am even near them, and dosing them up with meds.

So I am home, and my goal for today is to organize some cupboards in between the Tylenol/motrin/water/food "runs" to thier room...........

Hope everyone has a great day.......I am sick of the rain.

PS, love your new avatar, and T-shirt.

Why is it that almost everything you do and talk about etc, reminds me exactly of my oldests son??? LOL

Hope that the boys feel better VERY soon and don't share with you, Riley or Jantzen!

Mornin everyone!

I don't have to be in work till 1 today, so doing some straightening up around the house!  Poor Norm was up a lot of the night, while I got a pretty decent night's sleep. 

I'm going to try and aviod this swine flu breakout at work....   my one co-worker's husband took her daughter to the er yesterday, and they diagnosed him, and the daughter with confirmed swine flu...   and my co-worker was hacking and feverish all day yesterday until a call from HR banished her out of the office for 2 weeks!    My boss's son is showing flu-like symptoms as well..  it's crazy.  I'll be washing my hands, and sanitizing the HELL out of my desk today.

anyways, then home for a relaxing night..   Norm will more than likely be pretty exhausted!

Have a great day everyone!

Rainy day here at work.  Sorry for the insomnia, Norm, hope tonight is a better one.

I was feeling stressed, overwhelmed and off kilter this morning when my girls asked me to do something out of my normal morning routine.  I said "no," but ended up with a load of undeserved guilt.  Not eating or drinking over it though... just prayed right through it and am starting to feel a little more balanced.  Drinking my water this morning and trying to get into the groove of work.

 

 Im so confused with this whole swine flu ordeal. Ive been told that a confirmed case takes a week to get back with a postive result? How are people going to the ER and getting confirmed cases??  Or are they treating a suspected case.

Any nurses that can answer this one for me??
