Today was the day of the yearly rehab reunion. This was my 4th and each year it seems to get better. They had a Luau theme and as you entered the convention center where it is held, a lei was placed around your neck. You were given a name tag, a door prize ticket and the wonderful "goodie bag".Sat down at a table for 8 and it was beautifully decorated with a pineapplw centerpiece with those little paper umbrellas and small sik flowers from cut upleis. Ah, but what did the goodie bag contain? Thi
I've been burning the candles at 2 ends. Thursday, I thought I'd have a light day so said I'd join the others and do the set up for the coffee demo after hours in Sam
It's the end of another month. Time does fly when we're having fun. I'd like to stay home and sleep today but I've a big day planned. Ernesto didn't fully help (certainly better than a hurricane) but it was even a tropical storm when it got here. Don't get me wrong, that's great but many people spent money they don't have on things they hadn't budgeted for. Some can be saved for another time but you must pay now and maybe now isn't the time for added expense. On the one hand, it's good to be war
This is the easiest way to give some response. I got caught in another storm yesterday and they are really frightening. I decided maybe the way the storm is coming and the slope of my windshield cause the problem to be worse. I also had to sit in the car for about 1/2 hour so I could get into Home Depot, although I had a good parking place (which I always enjoy since my neurologist said I was qualified for handicapped parking). I always think Ha, Ha Dr.---.Anyway, it didn't give me enough time t
It's 9:20 pm and I hope I don't fall asleep before I finish this.
We finally had a decent rain; actually a thunderstorm. Unfortunately, I was on the interstate when the worst came through. It was so dark out and the rain so heavy that the white lines weren't visable. Also, bless the statethe road is uneven due to adding lanes, changing lanes etc. Projects here take years. I'm so tired of their orange and white cans They reming me of garbage cans. I finally made it where I had to go just af
Have to see what this is like)
I'm so very tired and fatigued. Not the best thing for a stroker. Just one more day and then decision time. Unfortunately, Two of my jobs bumped inot each other and I am a victim of more hours of work than I'd prefer. The new job is very physical - too much for me. To top this off it is early in the am. Being a pmer for years, the change has been difficult and almost impossible. My old job is in the reset phase which in itself is tiring, especially when one wa

.About 10 minutes later I get a call (as always, the phone rang when I was in the little girls room) I ran to the phone but instead of -Jr. was -Sr. He said that -Jr. was out of town but that I sounded so upset and stressed and sounded as though I needed help right away. I could have kissed him over the phone. I can imagine how it came over the phone when I called, and if it wasn't so sad. it is really very funny. Well, we spoke a lo

asked how things were going and she said that he had some figures, but that he needed a few extra days. When Friday came, she called and said he should have everything priced by Tuesday. Well, I had gotten a job out of town and would be commuting to St. Augustine (40 miles) for 3 days and I had to be there by 7 am. (I'm not an am person and with medication etc. that was a problem in itself.) So, I asked my sister if she

Many of you know that I have been trying to have a new home built. Finally, it looked as though things were going along nicely. The house is a modular home which is considered the same as a stick built home as far as loans, insurance etc. I really loved a certain model of a manufactured home and I was lucky enough to get a very similar home which is a m
Many of you know that I have been trying to have a new home built. Finally, it looked as though things were going along nicely. The house is a modular home which is considered the same as a stick built home as far as loans, insurance etc. I really loved a certain model of a manufactured home and I was lucky enough to get a very similar home which is a modular. The builder came highly recommended by the home manufacturer. I found both men, father anf son, really nice. However, 1) they are out of
OK, I'm not one of our recipe people and should leave that to Rolly and Chef Denny, but this is too good to not share. (A word in my defense - I do have a BS in Home Economics) Here is a rather simple recipe and if you have some sort of chopper to a Cuisinart, it will even go faster,
This is a great salad - very different. Great for the family or as a Pot Luck dish. It is best kept in the layered form and each person, spoons down to the bottom and mixes it in their own bowl. The reason is i
Truly, it only happens to me! I work for a wonderful company in Minn. They have great coordinators. A few days ago, I got an email asking why I didn't do the work that had been assigned. Long story short- they changed how to get into their website 2 weeks ago and I somehow missed it. So my coordinator, sends me the work, tells me how I can report it and says if you have any trouble, call. OK, today was the day. It was at Wally World and was just the type of work I love - a kind of audit.
I set
This has been bothering me for a week now. My Dr. (Family Practice) suffers from paranoia. Well, at least this armchair shrink think so. :big_grin: I've gone to this man for 14 years and I just can't believe the changes. (OK, I accept if unhappy, I can changepractioners. I don't wish to do that, and I understand the reasons why he is the way he is, but he has carried it too far.) I realize that there are people who run out on bills and I accept that people are sue happy. Having said that, I'll
The company that I was supposed to work for tomorrow (July 4th) was kind enough to give us a choice of today, tomorrow or Wednesday. I decided to go today. It's in the north direction and then when I went to change my weekly patch, realized that I had forgotten to buy them when I passed Target last Thursday. That is south so I had to go the approxiimately 10-20 miles there, back the 10-20 miles, pass the cutoff for the house and go the 20 for the patches and 20 back! Stupid me! :uhm:

Unfortunately, I may have to stop spending many enjoyable hours on the Stroke Network which I truly enjoy, but since Shout arrived (could be a coincidence) I am continually dumped off my ISP. While it again connects me, I have to again sign in and although I marked
I have lost my brain! At least the way it functions. I don't think an EEG, cat scan. MRI or MRA will be able to find it. Oh, wait, this isn't exactly a stroke problem - guess a psychiatrist should be my first stop - and the one I liked is retired..........well, I'll tell you my story and let you be my shrink (Sandy, you're disqualified because you are a legal one)
I had an opportunity to work this weekend at a Sam's Club (only those in US will understand, I guess. Sam's club is a discount s

I am writing this because I did not see anything said about the lecture last night. I had to leave during the question period because I had to participate in a confeerence call for a job this weekend. (Never did get in the right room but I did get to a room and should be paid for the call.) And I fell asleep later so didn't hear anything after in chat.
I have my own feelings about it - of course I'm not the adventurous type and like proven met
Perhaps I should say steamed - but somehow it isn't the same. :Tantrum:
I'd appreciate it if someone could explain to me reasoning of executives or those who are supposed to be in the know. Tell me how highly paid people seem to have not been in line when brains were being handed out. Honestly, even with a scared brain that has some connections that do not always make contact, I can think of things better than they. (I'm not bragging, just telling it as it is.) They sit around tables in b
My last blog was 12/25/05. Why? Because I couldn't figure out how to post. :im stupid: As I said, I've got an excuse; I had a stroke almost 3 years ago. Must have fried my brain a bit. :uhm: :roflmao: Anyway, I'm back. The weather in Central Florida has finally gotten to be to my liking - now at 11:16 pm it's 78 degrees. The flowers are starting to bloom; the grass is a little brown from no rain and the newspeople are starting their yearly scare about hurricane season. So, I guess it's time
It's now 12:19 am on my computer and therefore officially the day after.......and in about 10-12 hours, I'll be looking for some cards for next year. I know they will be cheaper in about 7-10 days at Target but also the ones I like may be gone. I used to love working there because I was always there for holidays after and got the good picks - ah well.
Christmas was interesting starting with my singing Happy Birthday to my chi. She really was born on 12/25 according to her "birth certificate
I've had a busy week and I looked foward to being able to enjoy the weekend by staying home, sleeping to catch up, playing on the computer, sending out my cards, wrap packages except for one bow or something---it was to be great! So today was Saturday and I had to go to work, I could not finish all my stores because there was an email that deliveries were to be late. Well, they were later than I expected and I could not finish all. I left one which would take too long to do late last night (I di
Had to make up some work today- not my fault. Looked in "my bag" and saw that I didn't have the sheet I needed signed so I had to restart computer and print one. It was late since I wanted to get a few more things that needed to be sent out of town. I was Focused, Pam. Even went a different way and made the turn. In fact is simpler and very scenic. Got to work and realized I didn't have glasses. In fact, I even cleaned out the extra pairs that were in the car. OK I could get through work. So I l
I haven't blogged in a while. Been too busy running around and while doing that, my mind has wandered all over the place. Had a strange happening on Thursday. I finally got out to work. It was a dreary misty day. I went the "long" way which would let me make stops on the way. I'm not near a lot of stores (and it will be worse when I move) and so this practice makes sense. I remember passing Herbert Street and getting over 1 lane because the right lane there is "turn only" I had to make a right h
