WOO HOO WED WLS EXPRESS

GOOD MORNING!!! Its Woo hoo Wed-so what's your woo hoo???

This week has gone by SOOOO slow! I think its all the stress of the whole bank issue. Yesterday was one of those days where I didn't stop working all day yesterday, yet I don't know that I got much accomplished. It was one of those side-track kind of days. I don't like those! Today is a training for consumers in the morning and I'm delivering and setting up a computer system in the afternoon so it will be a bit more interesting I think.
My woo hoo- well first my work woo hoo is that I got picked to do the work at home 3 month pilot project!! Only 50-60 people state-wide in our big agency got picked. It will be 1 day of the week- I chose Wednesdays. However we don't know when it will start. They said sometime in Sept. My other woo-hoo is that I did walk 2 miles last night, I tried jogging Sunday night, and my foot isn't hurting! Hopefully the inflammation has finally died down- we'll see. One thing I realized is that I got new shoes and they weren't the exact same kind of NB and they were hurting my foot. I switched back to the old shoes yesterday and it was fine. Go figure!

Well gotta run. Hope everyone has a great day today!!!

Good Morning Alissa,

This is awesome news that you got picked to work from home!  I would love to be able to do that.  My Wednesday woo-hoo is that I took my vehicle in for diagnosis expecting it the estimate to be major transmission trouble but it only turned out to be a seal that needed to be replaced for less than $50!  I was esctatic to say the least because I am enjoying being car note free at least until maybe the end of next year.

Good morning everyone!  My woo hoo is that I went with Therese to the Texas Workforce yesterday because she wanted me to meet her case worker.  She is going to be in classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which are the days they issue gas cards to the TAA people, and she wanted to know if I could pick them up for her since she will be in Denton when they are issued.  Well, no, but they will allow her to pick them up on an alternate day, just for this semester. 

But the woo hoo is, when we were there, we went into the Veterans Assistance office, and Whoa!  He was so helpful!  He sent me links to job sites that are veteran friendly, and helped me register with some job sites, and told me that he was there to assist me.  We spent an hour in his office!  Looks like it'll be easier (hopefully) to transfer government offices than I thought!  And he gave me names to talk to at the big Veterans event going on this Saturday at Will Rogers!  I'm psyched!

I've also decided to write to OWCP and my congressperson about this.  I'm going to be proactive instead of whining!  Got tons to do and not enough time to do it!  LOL!!  Wish I could take my laptop to work for when I'm in the Stand By room!!  I also gave a pep talk to some of the girls in there.  I told them that there is no reason to sweat over things we have no control over!  They're going to do what they are going to do (meaning USPS), we can't control that, BUT, we can control how we react to what they do.  Just make sure you are as prepared as you can be!  I think I helped them realize that they shouldn't be stressing going into that room.  Or even if they send us home for "No Work Available".  Just ahve the proper paperwork available to file with OWCP and enjoy being at home!

Gotta go take a shower and get to work!  Ya'll have a great day!  I know I will!  Love ya!!

Good Morning!  My woo hoo is all my peeps pulling together to get back to basics.  The support is awesome!  I'm so grateful to have everyone here as friends.  My family of choice always.

Yesterday was a bugger of a day, I have lots of work to do and I'm grateful for my job but I am exhausted at the end of the day.  My mind shuts down, it's tired of thinking, lol.

Day three of B2B and I'm prepared and ready......need to work on liquids more.  Water just doesn't taste good, crystal light is better.  I wish I wasn't such a coffee snob but our office is like a freezer and I'm cold without it.  Temps in the upper 90s and I'm having to use a heater at work, that's crazy.

Hope everyone has a FABULOUS day! 

Hugs,

Good Morning Alissa, and the rest of my TMB family,

Can someone please turn the sun down just a little bit?  This heat is killing me.  I take 80 or so but when it gets to the 100's makes me tired and not want to leave the house.  Have walked every day this week and hope to continue for the rest of the week.  I went all summer without walking, and I know I feel so much better when I do.  Hard to believe it has been almost 2 years snice surgery.  Time just goes by so fast.  My mother told me the other day she wished I had not had the surgery just because I have had so many problems, but she did add to that, "but I know it is what you wanted."  She is right I would not change it for the world.  Alissa I was thinking about yesterday.  On the today show they were showing a car they are going to try and miake for the blind.  Have you heard about it?  It was pretty cool.  Liz hope you are semi unpacked, and that maybe you got a little sleep last night.  Had a blast on FB last night talking with a friend I had all through Jr high and high school.  One of the reasons I love FB so much, that and the fact that Tim is always posting pictures of my beautiful grandson.  Only 67 days till I get to hug him for real.  I cant wait  Thank you all for the information about the Sax yesterday.  I did find out that the school rents them, and they are having a band drive next week so we can get one then.  Ok time for coffee.  Prayers for those in need this morning.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys Michelle

Yep- I've read a few blogs of blind people that got to try the car out. Pretty interesting for sure!!
We wait until 8pm to walk and its still freaking hot! Hope you get your walks in!

Thanks Alissa.  I just got back from a 2 mile walk.  Going to have to step it up eventually but for right now it is about all I can do.  Have a super day!

my woo hoo is that I only have to wake up with out Tim home 2 more times LOL oh and the teen is wearing his ROTC uniform for the first time today - way cool

in and out day for me and Rach - meetings at 10:30, 2, and 6:30 plus I am trying to get all the laundry done up so I don't have to worry with it this weekend
oh and a quick trip to wally world for a few things

hugs to all
Danni

Good morning.  My whoohoo is 2 lbs. down on Back to Basics for the week so far.  It hasn't really been hard this time.  I think my mind was ready for it. 

Ben showed up yesterday evening from Aggieland.  He said since his roommate won't talk to him or do anything with him and classes don't start until next Monday he would come home for a day or two.  I think he might go back on Thurs.  A Livingston girl that is a soph. said she'd haul him around with 2 girls he graduated with that day.  I think he had a soccer game to go to Fri. and something to go to Sat. to meet up with Fish camp people.  Sunday I'll be going over there.

Lots of ARD notices to get out today and folders to work on for tomorrow...have 2 ard's already tomorrow and a day full next Tues. and some next Thursday.  Already on the ARD roller coaster...yuck but at least it's for pay. 

Have a great Wednesday!
