***Tuesday Roll Call***
No witty words of wisdom for you all today :)
So despite my flurry of activitiy on recent posts...shockingly I'm NOT in triage. Even more shockingly, it's a monday night in the ER and I've had time to look, read, & post! We started out with a typical monday census. Close to 200 pts seen prior to 7pm. 10 in the WR, blah blah blah. My charge nurse did one heck of a job of delegating patients and utilizing resources without overwhelming any one area of the department and we were able to get a grip on it within a few hours.
So...right after work I'm leaving here to go BACK to jersey. Sigh. I don't think I did this much driving back and forth when I worked there, lol. Anyway - going to Brian's parents house and crashing there for a little while. Then we are headed to MY grandparents house and taking them to a new neurologist for my grandfather to hopefully shed some light on what is probably alzheimers/dementia and tests and meds and stuff like that as his previous one was doing nothing. We dont' have to be at their house till about 2pm...but I'm afraid of going home, falling asleep, and not getting up in time to get to the house - so, I'm going to the inlaws (they are still away) so that Brian can make sure I get up in time (and he's coming with me to the appointment anyway....)
Probably gonna be in touch with my parents today as my brother is scheduled for release. I'd say this is a good thing...but I'm not entirely certain about that and not real happy about the potential future with the four of us (me, him, Brian, and my other brother) Despite being ON meds he is taking all of his anger out on Brian, and neither one of us will stand for that. Not sure why it is that way...can only assume that it is because Brian is not blood family and he feels that he can get away with it and not destroy a family relationship by attacking him. Wrong. I also refuse to listen to how the world owes him as he is currently stating (and really always has). Thanks to an absolutely PHENOMENAL conversation with Nicole the other day, I have some good ideas and what not and now need to put them into action. THAT will be the tough part for me at the very least.
And THEN finally - the TWO of us get to go home TOGETHER. I can't tell you how incredibly excited this makes me
I know I'm a hopeless romantic...but not having Brian at home for the past 4 days (even though 1 1/2 of them I spent WITH him at his parents house) has been just torture for me. I'm thrilled to have him home (and someone remind me of this when he's driving me nuts in a day or so....lol)
Alrighty...well I've been told by 3 people now "listen to you type away" so I guess I better stop :) Enjoy!

Good Morning Pam & PA;
I'm getting ready for work. Work 7:30 to 4:00. I'm up late so I won't be in work at 7:30 oh well.
Yesterday started off exactly as last week - high stress, everyone needs it NOW. Not liking it but the day does go faster.
After work to the gym again today. Went yesterday, it's been 3 weeks since I've been able to exercise. My energey is slowly building up the gym did take what was left out of me yesterday. Over the weekend I did manage to stay awake till about 9 rather than my normal 6:30 of going to bed or rather what has become normal the last 3 weeks. Tonight is one of Gene's late night seeing clients so I'm on my own to amuse myself till bed. I hope to get out for my lunchtime walk - if things at work stay to a dull roar.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Pam and everyone else who ventures over here this morning. Pam - I wish you strength as you deal with your brother. And, I am so glad that Nicole helped you out....Another reason how this new life of our helps well beyond our weight issues!
I am sitting in my bad - dreading the unairconditioned building I have to be in again today.....I really don't understand that I have lost ALL this weight, and am still a sweating mess.....UGH!!!!! Oh well.....at least I can sweat wile feeling pretty darn good about myself! :)
Going to head over to school to teach, yet again....It has been such a phenomenon...this teaching thing....not the testing thing....LOVE IT! After school, heading to the synagogue for Hebrew School - then, stupid me - offered to stay and help out the tenth graders prepare for their service in a few weeks....even though I don't have to stay...sometimes, I don't know what evil demons get into my mouth and say stupid things....obviously it is the demons, because I can't really be held resposible...right?!?!....at least I am not teaching and I do love these kids and I am proud to help them out anyway that I can.
Of to get ready for the day - have a GREAT Tuesday all.....:)

Into the day today. I will leave in a little while to give a presentation. The good news is (1) I know where I am going today, and (2) They promoted the workshop as being over at 1 p.m., so I will have much of my afternoon to get some other work done.
And I may check around and see if I can get something else to wear tomorrow. I think I could get by but if I saw something good - and not too expensive after yesterday's bra extravaganza - I might be persuaded.

Good Morning All
Well I am at work 6:30 - 4 then off to the OB at 4:30. Hoping that he tells me we've made some progress. I had some timeable contractions last night - about 5 at 15 minutes apart so at least that is something right?!
After the OB tonight it's just home to make dinner, walk Buddy and relax. I think I should probably put my bag into the car just in case and I might even strap in the car seat - we are getting so close!

We're gonna have a baby!! We're gonna have a baby!
You are sooo getting close!! I'm calling Mother's Day.. girl.. upping the weight, though, to 8 lbs 2 oz.
Yes, put the bag in the car and strap in the car seat.. 2 less things for you to worry about. I didn't even HAVE a car seat when I went into labor because Siehara's DONOR promised to get one and hadn't at that point. He finally showed with a borrowed one 10 minutes before I was leaving the hospital with her.
