Rejection trouble

Unfortunately, my sister-in-law is in acute rejection, but the docs say it is just a speed bump and they need to tune up her meds and it should be ok. Went to the arthritis doc about my hands...seems it is a common hereditary condition and the pain should fade in time as my body adjusts to expanding nodes...meantime I am taking a med that seems to help with the pain.

Still pretty hot. The big hurricane, Earl, was a no show. I was hoping it would zip through and leave cool weather behind it. Oh, well...maybe it will cool down anyway.

1. Had a nice meal at the crazy diner

2. Ran into a friend from Rhawnhurst

3. Got a lot done at work and had a pleasant but busy day

4. Liking the bigger paycheck now that I am working 30 hours

5. Had 14 memberships today!

I have been slacking off

I haven't been real good about keeping up...again... Work over the weekend was good.Even closing with Laurie. I got the grass cut on Monday and I cleaned the upstairs on Tuesday. Today I saw the arthritis doctor and then I cleaned the sunporch. We stopped by to see Bettyanne but she didn't feel so hot. We are worried that Uncle Walt isn't capable of taking care of her properly. It is a lot of work and tough. Now Spencer is confused about his classes and all I want to do is rush up there and take care of him, fix everything and hold him in my arms and make it all better. Oh, well.

1. The pain in my hands will eventually go away

2. I got a lot done on my three days off

3. Have and early day tomorrow which means early done tomorrow

4 .My schedule seems sort of steady

5. A really good Labor Day movie is on...Picnic

I thought I had posted Thursday????

I thought I had posted on Thursday but I guess I didn't. We are short staffed at work, but I am managing to get done what needs doing. I am enjoying my job again and that is a good thing. Closes still suck, but they don't suck as bad as they used to. I still am a little frightened coming home late at night, but what can I do? If I keep opening on Fridays, I will still be able to eat with Chopper. It means a lot to her. I lost 10 pounds.

1. I found a spot right in front of the house

2. I got the car washed

3. I went food shopping so I have healthy food in the house again

4. Had a nice dinner with Chopper last night at Curtin's Wharf...the weather was perfect

5. The money all came out even...YAY!

Spencer back up at Yale

Coping well with Spencer being back up at Yale. I miss him like crazy, but I am confident that he can take care of himself and his new habitat is awesome. So maybe the helicopter won't have to leave the launch pad too often. Gotta get up early tomorrow, so I will cut right to the happy 5

1. Had a pleasant ride up to Yale

2. Spencer's room is AWESOME!

3. I don't have to close tomorrow night

4. The move in was pretty smooth

5. The ride back wasn't too bad...just one small detour

The body is an amazing thing

Just got back from visiting my sister-in-law, and she looked great considering she had a lung transplant less than a week ago! Spencer got a chance to see her before he goes back to college tomorrow. He is still packing. He has a lot of stuff, but Mike is good at packing it in the car. I will probably be the guard while they unload it into the dorm. Now Chopper wants us to get her some Yale apparel if we get a chance. I don't want to hang around up there to long because I have to go to work early Thursday and a clean break is always the best. I do look forward to writing letters to Spencer again.

1. Saw my sister-in-law and she is progressing nicely

2. Got my shower out of the way so I don't have to worry about it tomorrow

3. Spencer is almost all packed

4. Should be able to get to bed early so I am fresh for the drive tomorrow

5. Watching wipeout...pretty funny

The Bitch is back

Well, I am back as a head cashier, but this time I think I will have an easier time to run the cash wrap without too much stress. The new management is so much more pleasant than the old regime. My main concern now is to get the middle room uncluttered. Once we get Spencer back up to school, I will spend a week cleaning the house. I will be working 30 hrs a week, so that will leave me time to keep things tidy. It seems I stepped back up just in time....our store will be cutting the partimer's hours, so I will be safe. Usually my timing sucks, but it has worked out many times as far as B&N is concerned.

1. Our credit card charges weren't as bad as I anticipated...and I paid them in full

2. I had a good check up at the dentist

3. It's supposed to be a clear day on Wed when we take Spencer back up

4. It rained today, so I had a good reason to not cut the grass.

5. Don't have to go to work again till Thursday...and I don't have to close

Took me forever to get back on here...it has been a long yet quick summer. I think I will spend most of this blog time writing five good things that I am happy about each day.

1. My first day back as a head cashier went very well

2. I am going to enjoy working with our new manager

3. I finished all the laundry for Spencer

4. I will be guaranteed 30 hours at work even though they are cutting hours right and left

5. My sister-in-law is recovering nicely from her lung transplant
