Results Oriented

A real live phone call from my doctor at my desk phone this afternoon- and I thank heavens for my good government health insurance plan once again. The tests are back and reviewed. X-ray: all clear. Stool sample (eww): all good. Blood work: good, but I was a little “dry”- no water or food since [...]

Giving Up Dinner

Dinner is the best meal of the day, hands down. All the must-do’s of the day are done. There’s time to make something a little more special, or join friends to eat out. Unless, of course, you are me.

Thanks to the ol’ stomach problems, if I eat dinner lately, I am up all night with [...]

It’s Over Already?

How did the weekend come and go so quickly? I swear I just left the office and here I am procrastinating on packing my bag for work tomorrow. Sigh. At least this week is somewhat slower paced than last week without 2,000 meetings on my Outlook calendar. I do need to check on whether I [...]

I love my job

Or I must love my job, because it is now 9:17 pm and I have been in my office since 7:30 am. Dear readers, I would have written but I am swampety swamped. I’ll be back here at 6:00 am with bells on. Or at least I should wear bells- to wake me up when [...]

Wackiness Ensues

I used to be a fairly wacky individual, really I did. I spent my first two years of college as a theatre major, wore silk smoking jackets with ripped jeans to class, stayed up all night painting scenery and having long philosophical discussions, and once, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, died my hair hot [...]

It Must Be Monday

Back from the state fair with a giant stuffed monkey, a little bit of sun, and enough fried food in my belly to make my Southern mama proud. Of course, I overslept this morning. And missed my bus. And my back-up ride to work didn’t answer her phone. And I have a training class that [...]

Friday Randomness

Today, for your reading pleasure, a collection of random information that I can’t really tie together other than, this is what’s going on, in my head, on my desktop, and happening this weekend:

This doctor in Arkansas should have lost her medical license for sterilizing a patient with “learning difficulties” with her consent. While I understand [...]

Ch ch ch changes

I may have mentioned BBB, my Big Bad Boss, the woman who makes my eyes bleed and sends me home with stomach ulcers. She has been known to call me at home at 7:30 am on vacation days, to expect me to stay five hours late without any additional pay or comp time, sent me [...]

Major Projects in the Works

There is a new page at the top for your reading enjoyment. I have created my very own list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. This should be quite an undertaking. And there will be consequences. For every one I miss the deadline on, I have to put $50 in my savings account.
I’m [...]

Dwelling

For some reason, the last 24 hours have been a constant replay of everything that’s happened with the ex. I spent some time trying to get the registries and wedding pages deleted which has meant several emails and phone calls to customer service reps who promise a 72 hour turnaround. These things should be simpler- [...]
