Suziecat

Home from our hospital shift. It was very active tonight. Lots of people having surgeries and trying to get home before the holidays. Kat, that was such a lovely post you did. Made me wish I had my whole family here. I'm pooped and headed to bed. I have my Doc appointment in the morning, so I need to get some sleep. I'll let you know what he finds out and what test he is going to order. I still think it's a mistake. See ya all in the morning.

Off to work, I'll check in later.

No milk would be ok with me, it's the other dairy stuff. Cheese, cheese, cheese and more cheese. I fixed a small pot of chili and had a little bowl. I used about 5 crackers with it. That's where I run into problems, all the side stuff. I tend to over do it with the extras. I worked for 1 1/2 hours and than stood there and talk to the girls for an hour. I should have stayed on the clock for that. lol. Snow is gone but it's cold, very cold out. And I have to be at work at 6am. Brrrrr... When is our old Tracy coming back. I miss her alot. Tracy, hope you are doing better. Did you miss the hubby today?

I use coupons when I find them for stuff I but. I won't buy things just because I have a coupon for it. Why buy a Jumbo box of Cheez-it's, I would just end up eating the whole box. Probably in one day. lol. And I haven't figured out how to use on-line coupons yet. Guess I'll have to spend more time trying. I checked the ads that just got delivered and 40 cents a pound is the going rate for turkey here.

Back from Sisters appointment and had enough time to take Hubby to his appointment. He's had shoulder issues for a long time and the Ortho-Doc sent him for rehab. Well rehab is done and over and he's only slightly better. Doc said he could do a cortizone shot. But they decided to take time and see how it goes. I did go to Price Chopper and I bought a 10 pound turkey. I thought even when the sale ads come out today that if they have them any cheaper, that I could still buy 1 or 2 and than take one to church to donate to the pantry. Funny things is, we may not even be home for Thanksgiving. I talked to my cousin and asked her what they were doing. Her Mom was my best friend that passed away last April. She said that her and her Dad were probably going to go to the casino for the buffet and wanted to know if we wanted to go. I told her let me talk with hubby and find out. So far it's 3 of us for it but my younger Sis and BIL don't have the money to go. Looks like either way we will end up footing the bill for the holiday. So nice to see Kat's name down there. HI Kat. Missed you alot.

Woke up to snow on the ground. Not a whole lot but enough to make people stupid when they drive. And now I have to get out in it. Sis has a Doc appointment in an hour and Hubby's is in 2 hours. Price Chopper has turkeys for 40cents a pound. What do your store have? Be back soon.

Well Kat, I don't know whether I should be happy for you or sad. I'm hoping it's happy. But I'm sure you will miss the paycheck. Glad we will have you around here more.

Hi Laura...

Jenn, you need to tell us more about this hiking thing. That just sounds like so much fun. I love to hike. Kat, I will never own a car with leather seats. I've burned my legs to many times getting in on a hot sunny day with shorts on. Bummer about the alarm not getting you up in time to start the car. You need to get one of the car starters. I had one on my last vehicle and I miss it alot. Hope all goes well with the job today. I've been a busy little bee on my day off. Just finished mopping the kitchen floor and letting it dry good before I put everything back. Went and gave my blood, worked out, took the truck and went and picked up a shelving unit, laundry, potted some new plants and I'm sure there are a few other things I haven't mentioned. I'm at about 300 calories right now. I need to figure out what is for lunch. Make it a good one.

I'm up and not going to work. I traded my day a few weeks ago with one of the girls. I worked her friday and she is working today for me. But I had to get up because hubby wants to go to the gym and wants me to go with him. Isn't he sweet. lol. I go see my kidney Doc this wednesday for a check up so today is my day to give blood for it. Nothing to eat or drink till than. I can do the no eating thing, it's the no drinking that is hard. I really want my hot cocoa. Well, it's sipping water for me till than. Easy peasy. On thursday I will be going to see my regular Doc. Last week I got a call from a doc that I had seen several years back, he was wanting to know if I had done a follow-up to the chest x-ray that had been taken. I asked if they had the right person and sure enough they did. So I asked why was this the first I was hearing about this. They claim they had tried to notify me. They put the Doc on the phone and I was able to ask him questions. There is several spots on the x-ray in my chest that they feel need to be addressed. They said there was evidence of Silica in my lungs. So I am having them fax all the info over to my Doc and than I made an appointment to go see him this Thursday. I worked for a company for a long time and at this place we made non-nuclear weaponry. We were exposed to a lot of chemicals and because of that I have to be tested every 3 years for exposure. I'm not sure what to think about the whole thing. I guess right now I'm thinking that it is all a big mistake. I'm sure my Doc is going to order more test so right now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it is all a big mistake. I'll keep you guys posted on what I find out. Brenda, I hope you post more often even if it is a short post. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in soon.

Welcome back Kat, I don't blame you. I wouldn't share with a snake either. We've been ubber busy and now I have to get dinner started. I'll check in later after dinner.

I love a Benadryl induced sleep. Went to bed at 10pm and got up at 7:30am. I feel good. No walking outside for me this morning. Raining an 42 degrees. I don't mind the cold but the rain I don't do. All ready started a load of laundry and I have a few other little things I want to do this morning. Than I need to take a shower and get ready for a surprised B-day party for a cousin of mine. It's at a Pizza place where I have never eaten at but have heard that they are really good. I'll check in periodically today. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Welcome back Kat. Hope you and Rick had a great time.

Good Evening. I was up at 5:30 and showered and ready to start my day. I had a class to go to this morning and didn't get out till around 11am. It was in a town about 25 miles from here. Well, on my way home I seen a sign for a Arts and Crafts show. STOP. I went in and did a little shopping and really enjoyed myself. I get back in the car and went about 4 miles and see a sign for a Holiday Mart. STOP. Went in and looked around, didn't buy anything but got lots of ideas for Christmas. I just love doing stuff like that. Hubby was wondering what happened to me. I came home and snacked a little, got in my chair and took a little nap. Boy that felt good. Michelle, I hate that your still sick and having a hard time getting over it. But I know that I always have a hard time geting over chesty stuff. Seems to take forever. Good luck with it. Tracy, love the new do. But it doesn't matter, you could shave your head and still be a cutie to me. I just got home from church and hubby started a fire for me. It feels so good on my feetsies. He's such a sweetie. Guess I'll have to get up soon and make him some dinner. Hope you guys are having a good weekend.

Quick Post. So much has happened in the last few days and I'm getting ready to leave again. Later tonight or over the weekend I will post about it. Kind of scary. I got a call about some test that were done and now I'm busy doing follow ups. Keep me in your prayers that it all is a mistake. I'll post more about it later. Shalee, congrats on your bandiversary, you have done amazing. Hang in there. Jenn, I like Taylor and listen to her. She writes awesome songs, she's just not a good singer. She's ok. Tracy, Hi, love ya. Laura, sorry to hear about you MIL. Keeping you and all of your family in my prayers. I would love to see a pic of the blanket. OK, I gotta git. Have a great day.

Morning. Not sure if I agree with Taylor Swift being Female Vocalist of the year. I just don't think she's that good of a singer. She has great songs and is a very good writer, just not a very good singer. Kudos on entertainer of the year. Good job Darius Rucker, Go Hootie. Well, up and at it with another busy day. I'll be leaving around 10:30 to go visit my old friend Gwennie for lunch. That should last about 4 hours, lol. Than into work for a little while. I'm supposed to take sis to go see "A Christmas Carol", will wait to see if she is up to it. I think I'll go weigh myself and see if there is any change. Be back soon.

Home from work and watching the the CMA awards. I'm pooped. I really don't want anymore days like this one but I'm not sure whats gonna happen in the next few weeks. We have two girls that just don't like each other and they are causeing a lot of drama and Suzanne doesn't like a lot of drama. I have managed to stay out of it but now that she is moving me over to their store I'm going to be hearing alot of it. Wish I could wear me MP3 player at work. lol. Gonna kick back now. Have a good one.

Finally it will let me post. Jenn. You just came off of a huge weight loss in a short time. Your body is probably trying to adjust to it. Bodies don't like losing weight. If that happens they go into a starvation mode and will store every little bit of food that you feed it. So that is probably why your body is not losing and why you are eating. Your body is craving. Hang in there. Not a good day at work today. Actually it was till my boss got there and we found out that the night shift girl is out of town and no one to cover her shift. So I told my boss that I would do it. She said that I couldn't because I volunteered at the hospital on Wednesdays. I told her that this was an emergency and that I would help out. She finally accepted it and then proceeded to tell me that I was getting a 50 cent raise. Lucky Me. Really. So I leave and than all of a sudden I start getting text form the girl not coming in. 9 text in all about how mad she was that the other girl said she would cover her and that clams she knew nothing about it. I just want to stay out of that fight and cover the shift so my boss doesn't have a closed store for the evening. I got my hair cut and she did a great job. I'll post picks soon. I went and picked up my sis and took her to go get her new glasses. We than went to K-Mart and hit the mother lode. She is all taken care of for X-mas. Got her 3 house coats and matching slippers, a cute jacket and a package of underwear. She's all taken care of for now. I picked up a pair of sweatpants and 2 sweatshirts for me and got me and hubby matching Chiefs shirts for the football season. Well, I'm off to go cover the other girls shift. I'll check in later.

Hi Laura. How ya doing?

Michelle. I love the new do. I put both your old and new pic next to each other and I can't get over how much younger you look. You look awesome. Can I have you old hair now? I could really use it. LOL. TracyK, see you in the morning. Get a good nights sleep. Cindy, Thanksgiving in Florida??? Have a great time. Irene, Good job on the calis.... Good luck on doing the liquids. I do good for half a day than I blow it. I'm finishing up on DWTS and than headed off to bed. See ya all tomorrow.

Hey Homies. LOL. I slept in this morning but I was up late last night. At the Teen class last night at church we gave each of the kids 3 cards and had them write on it things that they had been dealt. Mine was that I grew up with an alcoholic family, not just my immediate family but Aunts, Uncles and cousins. My second one was in my senior year that my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and was sent 1,300 miles away for 6 months. I had to become a mom to my younger sister, go to school, work a pt job and take care of the house. My other cards were of a happier nature. That I met and married my best friend and we have celebrated almost 27 years together. That I was told I had problems with my kidneys and the first words out of my sisters mouths was them fighting over who was going to donate a kidney to me. That's a good one because it shows how much I am loved. The other 2 adults in the class did the same thing. So we gave the kids about 10 minutes to fill out there cards. OMG. I really mean that. OMG. We were stunned at some of the stuff that they wrote. I wanted to cry. I wanted to run around the room and hug all of them. I couldn't believe how honest they were being. So we let them if they decided too to talk about what they wrote. One boy said he was going to talk about his cards because he wanted everyone else to know that it was ok to open up about it. And open up they did. I sat there with my hand over my mouth and the other one over my heart. It was truly moving to hear the 14-16 year old kids talk about what they deal with on a daily basis. I spent a few minutes talking to them afterwards and it was so touching to see how they all responded. Not sure I can take another night like that. I hope next week we do something a little lighter. Sorry if I brought you down with that. It was just that I wanted you to know what some special kids we have in this world and how lucky we all to have them. Now, as for my day. I'm off to go get my older sis and take her grocery shopping. I'll come back here and do some housework and than I have to work later today. I go next monday to give blood for my Doc appointment on Wednesday. That's when I see my Kidney Doc. So starting today I'm pushing the water. Need to keep those kidneys flushed and functioning right. I hope Kat is having a great time and a very "Happy Anniversary" to her and Rick. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in after I get back.

Hey Guys, Home from work and getting a little to eat before I head out again. Had to do a double shift today but the girl came in a little early so I got to leave. All went well at the Doc's office. He said I wasn't going thru menopause and that I never will go thru it. So he ordered a new test on my Thyroid. The last test I had was about 7 months ago and it show all was well. He just wants to check it again. Other than that, all is well. Have a good evening and I'll check in when I get back.

Good Early Morning. Up and getting ready for work. After I get off work I have a Doctors appointment. It's just a check-up. I actually haven't seen him in about 4 months. I haven't had the need to. Keeping myself healthy. I weighed this morning and boy do i have some water weight to get rid of. Rain is coming in tonight. I have my Monday night class witht the teens at church tonight. Looking forward to it. They have so much energy, hoping some of it rubs off on me. Everyone have a great day and hope all of the sick ones are getting a lot better.

Michelle, I'm going Wednesday to get my haircut. It hasn't been cut in about 6 months but it's only to about my shoulders. I have very fine hair and when it starts to get long it gets stringy. I would love to have my hair a little thicker. Jenn, I'm thinking about having a drink. I guess it would go with the crappy eating day I am having. Seems like a lazy day causes me to just be lazy about my food choices. My jeans are fitting differently. Not snugger but now I have a roll. Never had that with these before. Almost like my middle is getting fatter. Weird. I haven't gained any weight. Just a body shift I guess.

Good afternoon. I had a real good nights sleep and am very thankful for that. Took doggie for a walk. It's very windy out but the sun is shining so I'm happy. Now it's football time. Make it a good one.
