Wonderful Working Wednesday Roll Call
I don't think I have ever been more excited about going into work than I am today....yesterday was THE worst experience with Jury Duty I have ever had - and that includes the time three years ago when it was only three weeks since my mom had died and I broke down in front of the judge and 39 other panel members and wept uncontrollably! Anyway - It is a very long story that I don't want to get into now - but bottom line - I wasn't picked and I did cry a little - didn't help that I felt as though my head was being crushed by a truck...oh well....I did get to shop a little and bought a few new dresses.
Today I am heading to school, blissfully happy to be with 100 adolescents (see - there is my spelling again!) After school I am supposed to be donating blood. I am not sure with my head cold if that will happen - I hope it does, it has been far too long since I have donated, and I take pride in doing so. I am hoping for a late afternoon nap and want desperately to be at Barix tonight. It has been two months since I have been to a support group meeting and I REALLY need these people! Then home to watch the Phillies give it right back to San Fran.
I hope your day is as blissfully wonderful as mine will be! :)

Hey Steffi sorry about Jury duty that blows! I am glad your day will be better, and I hope you feel better soon.
today I am working my full time job, then I have clients this evening until 830. So I will be very busy today and will not have much down time. I have already warned Jason that I will not be available and that he should have NO Requirements or expectations of me today LOL. that went over well. :)
It is hard to deal with long days like this, without rewarding myself with food. I will tell myself well it is ok you can get something NICE between the two jobs to make up for the hardship. I am going to take a 1 hr nap if I can and hope to God that it passes for a Sedona turkey Wrap in soothing my worn out soul today.
Love to you all

Morning Steffi, Nicole & Those who have yet to arrive,
Sorry about your Jury Duty experience, I've been called 3x and it pretty much was quick and easy time.
I had something frightening happen last night and I am going to have to look into it. . . I came home and was very tired, to the point of putting my pjs on and climbing into bed at 7:15. As I lay in bed watching television, I got a cramp in my right foot and when I tried to get up and walk on it, my big toe became rigid and the pain went up my inner leg to my mid thigh, it felt like someone had pulled a string and it lasted about 10 minutes, the pain was horrible and then about a half hour later I had a similar experience with my left foot, but it was my arch and toes that time and it did not last as long. . . thank goodness I have roommates, because they came running, Roxie got all upset and was licking my face and trying to do whatever dogs do to comfort. One of my roommates looked my symptoms up online and said it could be a dificiency in potassium or calcium, so I ate a banana and I also drank some water, as when the weather turns I tend to drink a little less of that stuff, so I am going to get my bloodwork done, haven't had it done since the spring and make sure I get more water in. I also have sometimes forgotten to take my vitamins, not totally, but sometimes only once a day, so I will be more vigilant about all of those things as well as getting my bloodwork done. . .
Anyway, I am about to get in the shower and get ready for work.
Wishing each and every person here the best day possible and peace and strength to get through the rough spots.
Hugs, Laureen

Hey, Laureen, that has happened to me and it is definitely NOT fun. I was found to have low iron and low Vitamin D, although I'm not sure if either of those contributed to the cramping. I'm back to taking all my vitamins now, and it hasn't happened for a while. Hope it gets better for you soon.
As for my day, I'm working. I was considering coming to Barix tonight, but decided it's been too long since my last AA meeting, and I miss my girlfriends there, so that's where I'm heading tonight.

Good Morning Steffi & the PA peeps,
Wow - I am actually making roll call this morning - I have been posting here and there, but posting on roll call at night is kind of moot right..
Am sad that I won't be at Barix tonight - I will be taking care of my nephew who is recovering from knee surgery - at 25, he is a mess from ice hockey injuries and might need another surgery in 4/5 months - he is pretty much bound to the bed because this surgery was so tricky due to the massive damage - poor kid.
I am off to work today - am kind of pissy about work these days as they did a reorg and I have 5 projects now that span across 3 directors - how's a girl supposed to prioritize? Ugh.. but... I have a job, I am getting paid so I have a smile on my face....
Have a great day PA!
xoxo,
Maura

Good morning all - Steffi, I've reported for JD lots of times but never even get called - haven't been called in a while now - maybe they've given up on me!
Laureen, take care of that foot situation - definitely sounds like lack of hydration and potassium - almost like a charlie-horse in your toe and foot? Man those suck!
As for me I'm at work - quiet day today. This afternoon I have PT for my arm and one more session on Friday and then I think I'm done - its expensive and not really doing much for me.
Other than that life is pretty quiet (and dare I say boring?) right now...
Enjoy your day - Kathy

Good Morning Steffi, and Pa,
Sorry you had such a bad day at JD. I didn't like it either, my was federal and wasted a whole day, we weren't allowed to read a newspaper, and they didn't like that I brought my embroidery either, they had a library with books, ugh.
Not much going on today, my daughter has a job interview at a hospital closer than the one she currently works at so Deliah and I will go shopping for some ingredients we need for some Christmas gifts to try and get a jump ahead of the holidays. Then maybe some more shopping that we did not get finished, because the baby fell asleep in the car. Wrapping birthday presents for my other granddaughter, Chloe who will turn 8 this month. Then maybe trying a new recipe for dinner. Have a good day everyone, may it be peaceful.
Hugs Ena
