The NIGH****CHMAN Sunday/Monday 5/30-31
Good evening. Late today. Very busy. And I am by myself at work. Normally 3 others with me. One was hospitalized last night and somehow the other two got vacation. So, I am gonna be busy until my relief comes in at 5:45 AM.
I don't go to wor****il late tomorrow, so just decided to run this together as one NW.
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day. Remember the reason for the holiday. But remember to enjoy the time with your family. We are BBQing over at our house. Have a few close friends coming over. Brisket, Chicken, Asparagus, Squash, BBQ Beans, Watermelon, Banana Pudding. Food for a week.
Gotta go. Have a good night.
Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Lazy day here for us today. Holy smokes it was hot! Took the dog out for a walk and after we got back, he was so hot that I laid one of those flexible ice packs on him and he fell right to sleep with that on him! It was sooo funny to see him with that draped over his back. Did the trick though!
More of the same tomorrow - not much of anything! YIPPEE!!!! Tuesday my sis gets here. Paul took that day off too and Heather was able to exempt both exams on Tuesday so she doesn't have to go to school that day at all! Sarah of course goes all day Monday through Wednesday and Thursday is a half day district wide. Only the high school kids have half days all day next week for exams. V gets off early all three days too so Paul will have to go pick her up on Tuesday while I'm at the airport. Schnitzel goes to the groomer on Tuesday, too, so he'll appreciate the shorter "do" with this heat, that's for sure.
Ok, gotta run. Sarah is MAJOR cranky as she's over-tired. Need to get her sorry butt to bed!
Prayer Request Update: Norma B - they have apparently rule OUT the possible stroke !!
Bulging disc in neck - pinching a nerve in the neck...............still can't use her right hand. She had an EMG on Friday - I haven't heard anything since then and probably wont for a few days...
Have a GREAT day and ttyl.

I am so glad that Geradine is doing better. I think that you can take Kim off of the list. She seems to be doing much better.
I had a nice day yesterday. Alexis and I were supposed to go meet a friend that has a 3year old and the two of them were going to get to swim in the blow up pool. My friend canceled on me at the last minute because her son was sick. We ended up going to another friends house and had a really nice time.
Today I am going to a BBQ at 2. It is nice to be able to have friends to hang out with. Chase is in Arkansas with my parents, but they will be home tonight. He still has school this week.
Not much else going on in my world. I hope this will be a short week at work. I am off today.
