You have 7 damaged vertebrae, Adam? Yowsers!

[Adam]

I know, right Chuck. And the great thing is although I am on short term disability THROUGH my job, until mid March, they deemed it fit to tell me I must resign from my job... and of cojrse I can be rehired... when I am all better.

[Adam]

*course*

[Adam]

Today I getto drop all my savings to get a new water pump for one vehicle and a starter for the other, while juggling finding rides for my daughter from daycare and my wife to and from work. Still can't knock me down!

[Adam]

Cindy, I wish you the best!

Did you get hurt at work?Regardless, I wouldn't resign. I don't think you can get unemployment if you do that.

[Angie]

I've just got a new cook book so I'm going through it wanting to try out most of the recipies.
Adam isn't it illegal for your employer to do that? But the stress and hassle of it all must be stressing you out even more. Good look in getting your cars fixed:)

[[deleted user]]

Cindy, best of luck on your interview. Glad to see you're up to working!

[Angie]

I think I'm having an early night, I'm tired tonight. I've just finished Stormbreaker and I can get some more of Drood read tomorrow.

That's pretty shady, Adam. You may want to consult an attorney.

[Adam]

I have, Gregor.

[Adam]

Thanks for all the well-wishes everyone.

Way to sleeeeeeeeepy! Talk to everyone tomorrow.

It got better today. HR rep calls up and tells me that they are considering keeping me on the books. But she didn't know what the decision was. The suspense is killing me. Really. I'm dead now.
Anyway, that was a positive spin for once.

[[deleted user]]

Maybe your attorney contacted them and gave them a refresher course on labor law? Just a thought. I'm glad you got some potentially good news Adam.

[Adam]

Thanks Cindy.

[Angie]

Yeah, fingers and toes crossed for you Adam. I hope you find out the decision in the next couple of days. Thee wait would be sending my stress through the roof.

I noticed you're reading the great Glass Elevator with Emily your daughter, that's really good:) It was one of my favourite times of my day when I read to my boys. It turned one of them into an avid reader:-)

[Addy]

So after 2 years of being work free to raise my little ones, the bills are starting to add up unfortunately. Its hard to get back in that mind set. Even a little scary but things will fall into place, I hope. May work at a retail clothing store part time so cross your fingers:)

[[deleted user]]

Good luck Addy and I'm sure you will do fine. Anybody that can stay home with small children can do great in the workforce as well.

[Addy]

Thanks Cindy! Means alot. How is your search going?

[Adam]

Thanls, Angie. I have been stressed out as much as I can take.. We will see where it all leads eventually.
As for reading with the kids, I have always done it. We swap chapters now, since she is a great reader.

[☆Joycedale☆]

That's it I'm moving to Louisiana, this makes day 5 there's been no school this time I can't stand this weather

[Kate]

Good luck to Addy and Cindy, hope the job hunts are successful.

Adam, I hope your employer sees sense, they can't fire you for being off sick. Hope you get good news soon.

Orientation went well, but was a bit stressful. I only had 1/4 tank gas when I left the house and had to drive 20 miles for the orientation. Then I was told that my drivers license was expired and I had to get a current one before they could send me to work. I had to backtrack another 12 miles the other way and spend $20 that I absolutely didn't have to get the license renewed. It's OK, I'm gonna stay positive about this. I DID make it home without running out of gas and I DID get all my paperwork straightened out. Now I'm keeping fingers crossed that the work actually starts before two weeks like I was told today.

That sounds like something that would happen to me.

[Gary]

Best wishes Addy and Cindy. I hope you find the employment you need.

[Addy]

Thanks Gary. Me too! Should know by next week hopefully.

[Nikki]

Had two molars pulled this past week. 5 days apart. One by my regular dentist, the other by an oral surgeon. My teeth around the spaces hurt.
Couldn't afford a root canal. :-( (insurance not enough)

Hurting now, kinda all around. Trying to figure out if I have dry socket, and if I should call. Or if it's all normal pain. It's been 6 days. I have a high tolerance for pain having suffered through many Crohn's flares. But my mouth is ouchies.
Took pain meds. And it's helping.

Oh well.

That's what I am up to, then going to read.
Doing a buddy read of "The Way of Kings", Brandon Sanderson. Good do far, I'm about 100 pages or so in.

On my phone, so I apologize for not linking the book.

Cheers.

[Angie]

My internet has been hardly working over the last couple of days because of all our bad weather:( but its stopped raining her now and its snowing for the first time this winter! I hope it sticks, I love the snow:-)

[Nikki]

Better today, guess I was being a wuss yesterday.

[Angie]

You can be a wuss after having those teeth pulled, I wouldn't like it. I'm in bed thinking I should go back to sleep for a couple of hours.

sitting at the hospital, my 5 yr old had tubes put in his ears and adenoids removed. dr just came by and said everything went well and that it was the biggest set of adenoids he'd seen in 2 yrs lol. he's in recovery now so we're just waiting till we can go back and see him

If he was a finicky eater, he may not be anymore. After I had the same procedure done at 5, I started eating everything.

I didn't know your little boy was ill Joycedale. I hope he's going to be OK now, its always worrying when your kids have to have operations. Has he been ill for a long time?

He's never been sick. he's always been a mouth breather but we thought it was allergies so he takes prescription zyrtec. He ended up failing 3 hearing tests at school and we was sent to an ear, nose and throat dr to see if he needed tubes in his ears. That dr was the one that noticed his adenoids were massive. After the operation he said they actually had his nostrils almost completely blocked, which explained why his nose always seemed to be stuffed up. He freaked out when waking up and it took me and my husband about 10 mins to get him to calm down but he's doing great now. He's been running around the house while/and watching veggie tales since we got home.

That would be nice. I can't never find anything more than 1 person will eat

What? You don't have the "you git what you git and you don't have a fit" policy?

[☆Joycedale☆]

Lol actually we do say that but it doesn't stop the fits

[Gregor]

★Joycedale★ wrote: "Lol actually we do say that but it doesn't stop the fits"

Yeah, same here.

[Nikki]

Yeah, kiddos waking from anesthesia isn't fun.
Normal reaction.
Both my boys had to have tubes inserted, and adenoids out, and one had tonsils out.

Incidentally, I had an ear tube put in my ear today at my office visit with my ENT.
For over a year I've had right ear issues, affecting hearing, lots of fluid in there too.

Thanks Gary. I called the temp agency yesterday and they are hoping to here from the company by the end of the week, so I have my fingers crossed for a nice Valentine's Day.

Getting ready to watch a movie with Jeff. It is a western and I'm not into westerns much, but it is a Clint Eastwood flick. Watched a really good movie last night. It was called Flight.

Is it one of his early ones where he was young. He was so good looking back then.
So its fingers crossed for Friday then, hope it goes already for then.

[[deleted user]]

It was called The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Angie. It actually wasn't bad, but it was long. Almost three hours.

I got a bit frustrated today because the temp agency said the company I'm supposed to work for still hasn't called them. In an attempt to get that crap out of my mind I did what all good people do when they just want to escape for a while - I started yet another book. Now I have three going at the same time.

[[deleted user]]

Haven't read any today. Just chilling with Jeff. May read some later tonight since I stayed in bed until well after noon.

[Addy]

Job search ain't goin well on my end. If only I had a computer I could get alot more done but I have to wait for weekends mostly to have access to one...thank god for books, otherwise that seems to be all I can think about.

[☆Joycedale☆]

Sometimes being from a small town has its benefits. Just realized I completely forgot to sign my boys up for little league this morning but I volunteer at the school with the league coordinater's wife so I called her and I'm going to their house after church tomorrow to fill out the forms :-)
