Regarding My Life

CAN I HAVE A DO OVER?

Family Reunions

I went to my family reunion yesterday. Of the four main families only two attended so it was rather small but at the same time nice because it was a more intimate visit. I couldn't help but notice that we are dying off or living out of state. I imaging one day this family will no longer have reunions. I think they will continue until my generation dies off and then we will be no more. Since I am the youngest grandchild I suppose it will end before I die off and an entire family name will just not exist the way we know it. Maybe not.

LIFE! It is what it is.

Well my daughter got her tonsils out on Thursday, she's a trooper. I asked her "how bad does it hurt?" and she said, because at that point she still had a voice, quiet as it was "not any worse than my worst sore throat." She had some bad sore throats. Yesterday was her worst day, more painful than the "bad sore throat" we are hoping that was her "bad day" they told us about. But today is 3rd day post op and she is still sleeping so we will see how today is. Yesterday she ate mashed potatoes and some scrambled eggs. Not at the same time. I hope she heals quickly she has 4 widsom teeth to be removed before she goes back to school. I don't think we can fit in a hand surgery, maybe Christmas break. Oh she just woke up and wants cream of wheat, yahoo. Today is better.

My son was animal sitting and I didn't see him for a week. He kept in touch with his dad and by the time he got home he looked so grown up. He always comes home wanting a dog. His birthday is 5 days and he will be 17. I am trying to wrap my brain around that. Somedays he seems much older and some days I think he's just tall for the average 8 year old. He starts his new charter school the end of August. I have confidence that this will be a good year for him. Hopefully by June we will be having a graduation party.

I finally feel like I have some control over my life. I'm not freaking out about anything. I think because for the first time I have a plan. Wow, I have a plan for my life, and it only took 51 years. It doesn't matter when you start I guess, but it helps with looking forward to the future. I know that in 6 months when my year is up at work I want to work in the medical concierge dept., the more I talk to the people that work there and see what they do the more I know that I belong there. I will need good walking shoes though, but thats ok I need the exercise. oh and its more money. So that is plan two. Plan one is the Dave Ramsey total money makeover, we do have to take the class however, my husband has an aversion to reading. I refuse to tell him step by step, he needs to particupate fully. He is cooperating!! Along with losing weight I'm off to a great start.

I want to work with grown ups

A man came in today and said, "you girls were bad, I am going to put a box on this thermostat so you can't play with the temperature" I thought she was going to have a meltdown. She also turned the heater up and said "just wait till she gets back". *(the boss is out for a week). I couldn't stop laughing. She also said, thats why I lock up my heater. Oh the heater that if I take out the top drawer which isn't locked I can reach in and pick it up? yeah right.

I just stay in front of my fan.

Ha

I bought a friggin fan!



the end.

THE HEATER LIVES

This is not funny. I am sitting at my desk and I hear the noise. It sounds like the heater, but I don't feel anything I am just hearing it. The next day, friday, I am hearing the heater again. The wall thermostat is also turned up to 90.
OMG she has the heater under her desk and now I am feeling the hot breeze, no wonder I am sweating to death. I knew I didn't have a hot flash, but I was really warm. Before she left she pulled it out and locked it in one of the drawers. I pulled out the drawer above it and there was "THE HEATER". UNBELIEVABLE.
This is war, I refuse to work with a heater anymore. ITS SUMMER.

stay tuned.

THE HEATER IS GONE

I went to work on Friday like any other day. As I was sitting there checking in patients, my co-worker says to me "have you seen the heater?" I was shocked, the heater was no where to be found. It was all I could do to not start laughing and doing the happy dance. Throughout the day I looked around and suddenly my eyes drifted toward the ceiling and behold, there on the top shelf, sitting very quietly was THE HEATER. ha ha ha ha, I could not believe it. There she sat wondering what the heck happened to her heater and it was hovering only 3 feet above her head. This could not have been more perfect if I had planned it myself. I felt rather tense during the day, I was afraid her eyes might drift toward the ceiling and she would spot the heater and then I would have to spend the rest of the day in sweltering heat. I was also concerned that I would burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Later in the afternoon I mentioned the situation to my supervisor who looked at me and said "ITS SUMMER, SHE DOESN'T NEED A HEATER". This is why I love her and am so devoted to her. "In fact," she said, "lets throw it out". In one felt swoop I heard the angels singing, the saints were dancing and my hot flash disappeared. I could barely contain my joy. Then she said "do you want it?", OMG do I want the heater that has tormented me for the last 6 months ......thinking...........thinking......NO. I do not want to know where the heater is. I do not want to be an accomplice.
and just before I left for the night, the super walked in grabbed the heater and with a thud, it landed directly in the garbage can.

THE END
