Wednesday

I seem to have off a lot of Wednesday.  I guess that is OK.   I have spent the morning trying to "clean up" my computer.   The HP guy helped me yesterday, went into the bowels of the cmputer and clicked some box and that seemed to reallymake things go faster.   So I have been going over my list of things to do to clean it up....  We will see how it goes.

Emily is feeling so tired, she had been sick so I told her that she would benefit from taking vitamins.....She complained yestedsay about going to school, and working and not having a lot of time.   I told her that she wasn't the first person to do that.   I worked in the OR, went to class and then worked 3 to 11 two or three days a week when I was in school.  I also had to study.   Also the husband (he says I don't mention him in this journal,  Chuck it is about me....)  He also went to school full time and then worked 40 hours and studied too.  Guess I will give him the link so he can start his own journal or blog...

I think she thought she was the only one who had if rough.  How does this switch colors without my doing it on purpose??

Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike."
Madame De Stael

I guess that is true, but I have no way to prove it.  I think I am witty but how can yu determine???    Some eople may say I am just a joke.!!!!!!!!

I still havn't figured out how to make the picture fit the square.   I can view the picture larger with the icon but still how to make it fit is a mystery.   I hope I solve this before I die.   Since I am not ill I hope it will be awhile.   

Today we are all going to my sisters.   My assignment is sweet potatoes.  It was difficult to find a recipe tha didn't include those marshmallow. I found one in Southern Living.   This is my tried and true.   Last year I bought  a photo-snap shot album and copied all the things that I routinely cook for the holidays.  I didn't want Emily to say I have all those cookbooks and she can not find the special recipes that I made every year. 

We are looking for a beach house for next summer.   I don't think this will fly.   The week in August my brothers dog sitter is on vacation and the week in July my sisters church is having a conference.  She goes to more conferences.   I think maybe this church is a cult???????

With each Thanksgiving passing I always wonder what the next year will bring and what I will be doing.   I guess this started when I was a kid (around 12 or so).  I have had some surprises.   Like the time the next year rolled around I was living in Korea and had never pictured myself there.   So who knows what the Thanksgiving of '07 will be.......

I always thought the Bard  of Avon said that.

It has been quite a while since I have written in my jouranl.   I have been plagued with plantar fascitits in my left foot.  Had it shot again today.   Next is custom orthotics.    I KNOW without even looking into it that the insurance company won't pay for it........... All they want to do is collect the money and not pay anything when you need it.

Thursday my sister is having dinner,  I am on the sweet potaotes detail.   That will be easy enough. 

We have been lookin into renting a beach house for all of us this summer.   One week is not good for my brother and one week is not good for my sister.   I think the church she joined it sort of culty??????   Have to keep an eye on her.....

Work is the same.  I leave basically on time and feel really good when there are lot of cases left and I am not involved in it.   Also not working the weekends is a really big plus.   I don't mind the work but they still call with all their stupid things.  Like IV's and turning down the pumps that the RN's all over the ret of the hospital turn down.   I think the OB nurses at my place are stuck in the 1960's.   They need a manager who is up to date and not an anachronism.

"Losers spend time explaining why they lost. Losers spend their lives thinking about what they’re going to do. They rarely enjoy doing what they’re doing."
Dr. Eric Berne

Did you ever wonder how the jerks and losers ALWAYS find each other.   Is there some sort of AH radar.

Monday

My daughter must have the luck of the Irish.    She does have some Irish genes.   Hit a deer while going 65 on the PA Turnpike and just a dent in the fender.   The car is even drivable.   Some days it pays to be lucky.

 

On the other hand she missed the Irish potato genes.  I asked her to check the status of the potatoes cooking for the mashed potaotes.  "How do I do that?"  Duh...................
