Opportunities Abound
Today was a good day at the shop. All 4 of my scheduled people showed up!! Also on a bright note, I will be stopping at a chiropractor's office tomorrow morning because I heard he is looking to bring on a massage therapist and I am going to call FLSM because the position I applied for has now officially been posted so I will see who I can talk to about it. Hope everyone is having a great day and soon to be night.

Ouch
Well calm is not the name of the game yet. Monday afternoon Dave woke up with a serious toothache. Like his cheek, jaw and neck were swollen! It was hard for him to swallow and everything. Needless to say off we went to the emergency room. Three hours there got him a sorry all we can do for you is write you a script for antibiotics and pain pills you can't fill til tomorow. Thankfully the NP was nice enough to give him one antibiotic treatment and one pain pill there. Tuesday morning we get the prescriptions filled and get him into a dentist. Surprisingly the Davenport & Taylor Family Center in Bath was able to get him in with only about a 20 min wait. That landed him a written referral to an oral surgeon to have one, possibly two teeth extracted. I called them right after the dentist not expecting to get in but I am so thankful to whoever canceled at the oral surgeon because they got him in this morning and were even able to pull both teeth at once because he had already started the antibiotics. The oral surgeon gave him another two scripts which he had to start this afternoon as well. This boy is so doped up no wonder he's sleeping. He talked to work and even though the oral surgeon said no work he's going to at least go in and babysit everything because they need a manager there. I will definitely be driving him because I am not letting him drive with everything he is on. I doubt the boy will even be able to make an informed decision but well see how he feels when he wakes up. Maybe with those teeth out he will be more rational. Anyways, off to look for another job. Have a good night everyone.

Crazy!
Things have been absolutely CRAZY the past two months! The last post I did was December 13th and I was all gunghoe about consistency and being accountable blah blah blah. I have thought about posting a bazillion times it just hasn't happened. Geepers I'm pretty lame.
So the rest of December was filled with a LOT of trips back and forth to mom & dad's, Christmas shopping, and work. Pretty typical December fare. However extremely spuratic I did get some walks in. Mostly while I was at my parents walking the dog. There are always stairs to climb at work and Karen's so that is helpful too. I think I even got in a couple yoga days and a few push-up set in at work. Oh! Also Aaron flew home to Virginia from Afghanastan! He took all his leave time and was able to be in the states for 3 weeks.
January was even more running around. Aaron was home in NY the 1st - 7th. During that week I took off as many days off of work as possible to spend time with him and the girls. I even had Alina, Addison and Suzanne to myself that wednesday so we baked cookies. We had so much fun! We had colored cookie dough, crazy shaped cutters and frosting to boot. The girls were covered in all of it.
A week or so later Dave totaled his car when he put it in the creek on a particularly icey night. That was loads of fun. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and a neighbor saw him go in and gave him a lift back to the house. He wasn't even out of the house 5 minutes! Needless to say he did not make it to work that night as we had to wait 45 minutes for a wrecker to get there, have them pull the car up and out which took over an hour and then figure out how we were going to get both of us back & forth to work on one vehicle since he works 70 miles away.
The following week was a lot of planning and driving. I am ironically thankful that I didn't have a lot of clients the week after his accident because that made our lives a lot easier to plan. The only down side was a lot of gas was used and not a lot of income from clients does not make happy times.
The begining of this week (Sunday) my brother Tim went into the hospital and had to have a TON of tests run on him. They ultimately don't know what caused the siezure but all the tests show compression fractures along the spine. The final say was that there are identical cracks from T2-T10 that would normally happened from a 2-3 story fall. They are performing a bone density test because he only fell from a standing position. He was able to come home Tuesday night but I still have not heard the results from the bone density test. On top of that Alex, the youngest member of our family (8 months), was taken to the walk-in Monday and because of his oxygen levels they rushed him to the hospital to find double ear infections and a viral infection around his lungs. Thankfully he was able to be home Monday night but he is on a bunch of meds.
That brings us to February and with any luck things will settle down a bit. The only thing so far is that Tim and I have switched cars. No he's not driving but his wife Marilyn is and Tim can't get in or out of his car because it's too low to the ground and he is going to have a bunch of doctor appointments over the next couple weeks. So they now have a vehicle that he can be in and I have a vehicle that gets amazing mileage which is fantastic because Dave and I are still on one vehicle until his taxes come back and he can get a car of his own.
I know there was a Christmas party or two in there somewhere, a birthday party and some other gatherings but the main activities have been covered. With any luck I will be able to get back on my blogging and exercise band wagons with more conviction. Off to do my taxes now. Have a good night everyone.
