I can't belieive it.  After two years of slogging thru to get her degree and being assured on July27th that all was well, she was notified that she needs 2 more credits.   Those people are a bunch of a-holes.    

She signed up for a class at community college and she is really bummed as well as we are.

"I have noted that persons with bad judgment are most insistent that we do what they think best."
Lionel Abe

He should have also added that they are the ones who get mad when you don't do what they think is best.   I know a few people like that for sure.

Thusday

My Lucy is sick.  Actually she has an  unlcer on her eye.  Have taken her to the vets twice.  She defecates in her carrier each time I take her. Chuck said he wet herself on the ride home on Tuesday.  I guess she needs some kitty Valium.  Or maybe we do when we have to take her.  At least she  is not aggressive.

Big plans on the horizon for the hospital.   They are going to open a whole unit for hearts, caths and surgical ICU.  I hope to be retired by the time they are done.   Also a neurosurgeon was hired and wants to do that,   the ICU is unable to handle these cases so I wouldn't have my head done there.  They also want to make the place a Level II trauma center.   We can't get the cases done in a timely manner now.

"If you limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, you will not do much."
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

People find fault with everyone and possible someone found fault with Mother Theresa. This is going to be a hot one today.   I got the electric bill and the electricity usage is down for this same period from last year.  I have to watch it all summer to see if there is a trend.  

I am off this week and have nothing scheduled to do.   Except visit the dentist.  I guess it really has been a non event week.  Chuck has to start on the supercharger on the car.  Of course it will be roasting arse hot.

Sunday

Went to a little get together at my sisters.   It was her son's graduation party.  He will be going to study engineering.    My brother is up from VA and his daughter is going to study pharmacy.   Good choices for both of them.

I have off tomorrow and I am glad.   I am working two late shifts per week and on my early shift I hear "Do you want to stay."  No, I don't.    I want to get out on time when I am early.   My life isn't that hospital.   I can't say that we are not busy.   I don't know where they come from.   Now the attitude is let anyone work anytime they want to work.   I am glad I am not taking call.  They are working till 10 or 11 at night.   I am too cranky for that.

The awnings are wonderful.   It keeps the front of the house cooler.  I am glad we got them.   It looks like they will be up for about 6 months of the year.  Will have to check the electric bill and the usage.  Last year was hotter than this year.   So I don't know how I will compare it.   All I know is the A/C is clicking off and on instead of running nonstop betwen 3 and 9p.

I am off the week of the 17th.  Have a dentist visit planned and don't know what else I will do.   I REALLY want to get the picture hung.  It has been sitting in the living room for 2 years now.

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."
Martha Washington

 

I think this follows my idea that people who are miserble when they are old were also miserable when they were young.    I hope I am miserably only for short periods of time.   Usually my mood is good and I try to find humor in any situation.   The exception being funerals........................The whole mystery to my is whether it was the enviornment or upbringing?????  Or combination of the two.
