Another Day, another ?

Once again I have survived a rough day at work. Doug went home early morning sick; Darren left at noon for a meeting; and I had to leave by 1:40 to get to a dentist appointment. Good news is that Dave came in. Yes, these are a few of my nursing coworkers. The others being Tyre (with whom I do not get along with that great but you always run into someone), Jenifer, Connie, and Mary Lynn (our lead\charge RN). We also have MA's at our office. Julie and Nora ROCK! I cannot say much for the others...let's just say that I can tell you the one I don't get along with is Michelle. She just has a really harsh personality and it's not a good match with mine. Sad thing is she knows it and doesn't do anything to change it, or at least that's what I'm told.

Enough about work, onto fun things. I went out for burgers with Lilli DeCair - great friend, teacher, mentor, cancer survivor, and psychic - and that's only naming a few of her wonderful qualities! She & I are collaborating on a new Tarot card book. I'm doing the studying, writing, and creation of new cards (YEA CRICUT!) and she's doing the teaching. Once again I have a great friend and publisher\helper Shannon Evans! I have not forgotten about my photography books - I hope to complete one soon.

My cats are doing much better - they have even been chasing my plate of ham around the desk while I've been writing. Now that it's gone, they have left me to my typing. I think they have forgiven me for the teeth cleaning as they slept on my bed last night.

I have a gmail account, and they have this new feature where you can pick your background picture. I chose a tree; they asked me for my mailing zip code or city, which I couldn't remember why. Well it turns out that the weather for your area gets put in the sky! It's really cool because it's raining right now, and there's rain in my email!

My ribs are feeling much better today. I have had some real muscle spasms and pain over the last couple of days. I have essential oils and healing music that I have been using. They have really helped (when I use them of course).

OH! If you haven't seen the movie "The Darwin Awards" it is a MUST SEE! It's absolutely hilarious! I actually purchased it - the only copy at FYE. I know, I know, Christmas is coming and I should have waited, but I couldn't wait to see it again. Other movies that Mike & I have seen recently, thanks to a Blockbuster 5 for $20 day after Thanksgiving sale, are "The Golden Compass" (if you liked Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings, you'll like this. I must say that it is a bit on the violent side, more than I was prepared for. I don't think it's worse than Lord of the Rings in that department, though), "The Bee Movie" (which was cute, funny, and educational), and "The Water Horse Legend of the Deep" (which was good, a tear jerker, but good). We have 2 left - "National Treasure 2" and "Hannibal Rising". Mike also bought "Borat" and is insisting that I watch it. Let's just say I'm not looking forward to it. I haven't seen this many movies in a long time. I still have yet to be to the movie theater - last time was "Over the Hedge" in May 2006. Other movies that we want to see are "The Spiderwick Chronicles" ......and my brain just stopped.

Speaking of not doing something for a long time - I haven't had a coca-cola or coke slurpee since Jan. 23, 2008! I have to admit that they are sounding really yummy right now. I just remembered that I am now living back in Utah where they carry caffeine FREE coke! I may just stop at the store on my way to work tomorrow to get some. mmmmmm......

Well, I hope you've had a great day.
HUGS!!!
