Dinner Dance 2010

With all that is going on at work, I decided to take advantage of the overtime, and signed up today and got it! This will help with the new car payments.

Today is the annual dinner dance, and since 2 of us are off and one is out sick, it would have been hard for the only staff to work with 2 trainees, so Jan and I signed up to work.

The ladies always seem to have a great time, and it is so nice to see them enjoying themselves, that it doesn't seem like work.

My this be but the first of some beautiful, fun filled weekends, and may everyone enjoy all the warm weather.

SPRING

OH, what a beautiful day! First day I have truly enjoyed in so long, and just couldn't deny myself a long ride with all the windows down.
Had a doctors appointment early and an apt. with the garage for an oil change, and treated myself to breakfast.
The doctor says I am a good candidate for a double knee replacement, but that is something I want to put on hold as long as possible. She agrees, IF rest and pain meds allow it to heal, but if in 4 weeks the pain persists, she wants to try cortisone. Oh well, maybe I'll end up being the $10,000,000 woman! LOL!

Back to work today!
I had every intention of going in yesterday, but the day turned into a comedy of errors.
It started out that as I was leaving I grabbed a bottle of coke, and for some reason, it was sticky, so I put my purse and keys down , went to the closet for a wipe, cleaned the bottle, checked that the door was locked and walked to the car.
Opened the car door, and was talking to the neighbor, and the car door closed and locked...with my purse inside! UGH!
Then I went back to the house to call someone to open the car...house locked...UGH #2! I had to break a window to get in, called the police who informed they do not open cars, unless a child or pet is inside. I then called a towing service, and went to meet them out back.
In my haste, I twisted my ankle and fell backwards down the cement steps. I hurt! I crawled back in the house and called work, who gave me a hard time, because I was 15 minutes late to call off (need 2 hours)UGH #3!
I started to go get a cup of coffee to take a pain pill & muscle relaxer with, and lo and behold...my keys, right there on the counter. UGH#4!
Called the tow service, cancelled, and took the medication, and applied a hot compress, and promptly fell asleep!

I have a computer again!

Oh how I missed everyone so much. Just being able to check in and get an idea of what is going on in the outside world, gives me so much peace.



Again, work is stressful, people being moved around, the cottages are so warm, and the employees are so unhappy.



The house is not being done as fast as I would like, and the bills were out of sight for the winter.



Thank heaven the seasons are changing, the sun is shining, and life is looking up. I called in sick today, because my back was killing me and I was having trouble keeping food down. So...I cuddled up on the couch, got extra loving from my dog, great conversation from my daughter, plenty of rest, it is still early, and I am feeling sooo much better.

What a difference...

a

a day makes. Just got a call from the garage, and the fuel pump is fine, dirt in the line, they put $10 worth of gas in the car and it is running fine, they found my wallet, and the tow was paid for by my insurance.

Looks like 2010 is going to be a great year after all!

WTF!

This year started out bad and has progressively gotten worse.

I have had some problems with heat, since moving in, as I have a new furnace sitting in my kitchen as of yet not connected, an old condemned furnace still sitting in the basement, needing removed, a small gas vent less heater in the dining room that is next to worthless, and 3 electric heaters running full tilt and keeping the house at about 50 degrees.

The house has a half basement, and the water to the kitchen has frozen for the second time this month.

The car needed inspected, and the brakes went out, but that turned into a major repair, as the master cylinder was the problem, the front left brake drum and rear left brake drum had to be replaced along with struts and springs, costing nearly a thousand dollars and leaving me without transportation to work for 8 days. Upon getting my car back, I had a 5 day long weekend, and today was on my way to work, when half way up a hill, about 2 miles from town, my car died. I walked back to town to the grocery store and called the tow service, and then called work, where I was told I could only have one hour of emergency time to get to work. The garage informed me that the problem was the fuel pump and it is going to cost a couple hundred dollars to fix.

I got to work with about one half hour to spare on emergency time, only to find out that I have somewhere lost my wallet...no license, no insurance, no credit cards, no checks, and no money.

Well, so how was your day?
