Just a note

I am busy but alive. I had the day off, but I also had a headache, sore throat and my knee is still very sore. Will make another post soon. Love you all

Bees Knees and sore feet

I am back from the Doctors visit. It seems the I have Osteoarthritis in both knees. The advice (What else). Loose weight. That is probably not going to happen. Take ibuprofen, 3 times a day. See if I can get some decent shoes that will give me better support etc. Ray has cellulitus in his foot again. This is the third time he has had it. It is a serious infection of the skin, which can come from a bang on the leg etc. I hope we can get it tamed. I guess I am going to have to start examining him every night, because he never complains about pain, that is if he even pays attention to his body at all. Many a time I have noticed something was wrong, usually after he has been ill for days, if not weeks. I have often got him medical help just under the wire. I don't understand that about him Why?

Phone tag

Now I know why emergency rooms are full of people without emergencies. I tried on Mon morning to make an appointment with the doctor. I was put on hold with a voice interrupting every min or so with "We appreciate your patience, we will be with you as soon as an operator can help you." This went on for 25 min. I finally gave up and got ready for work. On Tues I got a "real person"right away, but none of the Dr. I wanted to see.(there were 3 I liked) were booked up until the first of July!!!!, I finally got an appointment for Friday for both Ray and I. His right foot is swollen and sore and my left knee is almost impossible to use some days. This is not something you need when you are on your feet 8-9 hr a day on tile floors. OWW W! I finally got my Rx in the mail for my antidepressant. It is a good thing since I was on my last one and that is only because I have been rationing them by not taking them on the last two weekends. The antibiotic I am supposed to be taking has not gotten here even though it was"Sent" by mail on May 31st. I have had 2 "overrides" of seven pills each until it comes. I think it was never sent or that it was stolen from my mailbox. We had to put in curbside mailboxes last year, as opposed to having them on our house. Bad idea on the post offices part I think.

HI!!

Hi I will send more (hopefully tomorrow). I am not in the best of moods lately. but if you want me to post something I will try tomarrow!

Freeing Act

Well here I am again. It always seems like I just write and than I am behind again. Hey lil bro did you read my last entry? I hope all is well with your family. I have tomorrow off, but called in sick today because I had achy joints and felt like I was going to throw up. I didn't,(throw up) but at least I was at home feeling sick instead of at work feeling that way. My crazy schedule is working out alright for now. It is kind of weird working three or four days and then having one or maybe two off in between. So far this last four week rotation I have worked every Sat and one Sun. I work Friday and Sat again this week but have Sun and Monday off. My graduating class at SVHS is having its 40th reunion this Aug. I am not going but I did send a $10 check to Robert Child for the "Book" they are giving to the graduates at the reunion. It gualled me to send the check to RC because as you know I have a long standing rememberance of what he called me back in the day that has never left my mind and whenever I hear of him or see him that rude thing comes to my memory. So on a whim when I wrote the check I put on the for line"to the man who said I looked like a squashed t--- (SVHS)reunion book" you will have to guess the T word because I am not sure what kind of censorship is on this blogger, if any, but it is another word for for poo. DH says he will never cash it. I really don't care if he does or not because that is one of the most freeing things I have ever done. I got rid of a 40-45 year old hurt that quit possibly has been a long time in my mind causing me grief. It goes to show what a careless comment made be a stupid teenaged boy can do to someone. Of course it also goes to show how utterly useless it is for the receiver of the comment to carry it in their mind for nearly half a century.Add to this many other careless or on purpose (as his was) comments and criticisms to life's list and it becomes totally overwhelming. Add to this the internal criticisms I give to myself and it is no wonder I have confidence problems. I am getting better now however because at the job I have now (since I have been transfered to this new position) has no witchy women (or men) to yell at me but instead has a very kind and encouraging man as the kitchen supervisor (chef) I have become more like the person I like to be. I have discovered that I have good leadership and management abilities and not only that I like to supervise. I am a lot less stressed when I can be the one in charge. The is the same amount of work to do as there was at the Cannon center, but it doesn't stress me nearly as much as it did there because the person in charge of getting the food out on time (me) doesn't panic and freak out when something has to be done. Instead I can see that it gets done and make sure every thing goes as smoothly as possible. If something goes wrong or something is missing that we need I can find a solution or ask for help without being threatened that I'm doing something that infringes on "the bosses" territory.It is much nicer to be in the presence of competent nice people. I certainly hope this good fortune continues. Sagehen I have enjoyed the pictures you sent of the kids at Easter. I wish I had a camera so I could take some of my own to send.
