The Week That Was

Can I be glad the week is over, and today is Saturday?  It started with such great promise too.  Had a good Monday….maybe the fact Monday was good should have clued me into the other mania that would soon follow. Work is, just, well…work.  As a friend of mine who is an engineer says (see…

Week in Review

My picture of the day post last night ended up not publishing for some reason.  I didn’t discover it until this morning.  That’ll teach me to post it from my iPhone and not check that it actually posted. Work has been actually kind of fun this week.  And, not in the way most would expect….

Day 191 – Mug Shot

Before I get to my picture of the day, I must whine a bit about my morning.   For the past week, I’ve been dealing with a sore throat that I was thought was related to allergies and the changing weather.  In the past, I have occasionally gotten one that lasts a few days but…

Day 176 – The Bridge

About a month ago, Garbanzo say a race and proclaimed that we must do it. It was originally called Beat the Bridge but they had renamed it Reach the Bridge. (We found out they did that to lessen the competition since you re tehnically racing yourself and not others. Whatever.) So we decided to do…

The flu is spreading around work and school like wildfire.    Garbanzo has been reporting that he’s had half of some of his classes out sick.  The girls both talk about which kids in their class are not sick.  At work, half of the IT staff has had a version of the flu.  And other…

The Week That Was…

I love being married to a teacher.  I like getting to take days off that he has to work, but the kids don’t have school.  I will have to figure out what we are going to do today because part of me has to be responsible and get ready for my brother, SIL and my…

Week in Review

subtitle: Emmy has a lot of things bouncing around in her head and can’t figure out one thing to write.  (This is what a conversation with me can be like.) This week was much shorter than I initially intended.  Garbanzo has a teacher development day at school today which means it is just me and…

Accountability Monday

I hit the 10lb mark today!  Woo-hoo!! I knew I was having a good week earlier in the week when I stepped on the bathroom scale.  I just hoped I would be able to continue it through the rest of the week.  I guess I did.  Overall, I feel great (except for the cold I…

Petition

There is an Act going to the Senate to allow doctors, not insurance companies, the ability to decide the length of a hospital stay post-mastectomy surgery. There has been a trend by insurance companies to push this surgery to be outpatient. This act will put the decision for the hospital stay in the hands of…
