I had a rather good day yesterday, I attended our division awards yesterday and won the Einstein Award and the Team Work Award!

I knew my boss had submitted the nomination but I didn't think I would win. The Einstein Award is for the total conversion of our website from old design and inaccessibility to new design and totally accessible. If there is something not accessible on that bugger, I sure don't know about it.

The Team Work Award was for Co-Worker Brett, Shirley and myself in our work to create a clipping report each month for the entire agency. In the past only a select few would get the clipping report because, it would come in hard copy form that we couldn't really make accessible. Once our clipping company went electronic, we were able to make the clipping report accessible and everyone in the agency gets a copy.

It was pretty neat!

Broke, Ever So Freaking Broke

Two weeks ago, my sister came to town and a shopping we went. First Hobby Lobby in Edmond-did okay $4oish spent. Then came Gordman's - not as okay $150ish spent. By then we needed lunch to geer up for the second part, once refueled off to Burlington. !!! $450ish spent - I went bonkers but got two new coats (one rain and one car). Then day two was spent at Kohl's - I lost track of $ but the sweaters are sure cute!

I got some really amazing clothes but I do think my favorite buy was the hooker shoes! They are sooo cute on!

UnFREAKING Believable

Bronchial infection so severe that I am on my second round of antibiotics! Am I falling apart or what? I went to the doctor's again today to receive more drugs - NOT HAPPY. He said if this doesn't do it we will use dynamite next time. If dynamite will make me stop coughing and not feel sooo horribly bad - give me dynamite. This just sucks!

Enough for now.

Pain, so much Pain

Geez, where do I start? I guess I will start with the six-day migraine spree. That was fun. I thought I grew out of migraines a while back. In high school and college, I took medicine daily to ward off those evil things. So when I got the first migraine, I didn't think much about it but on day five I went to the doctor. Who knew you could make it worse by taking a lot of advil day after day - rebound headaches! I didn't know. I now have a new med and it really doesn't work real well but I am not shut in a dark room screaming "don't talk to me, don't look at me" then running to the bath to throw up.

The next weird thing is that my voice is going out. No, it is not a sore throat. The doctor thinks it may be cause by allergies. I now take allegra every night but my voice is still cutting in and out. LOVELY!

My thyroid has decided to act up again. So I am back to going to the doctor's every three months to visit the vampires to try to regulate my meds. It sucks getting old!

Enough for now [don't think I could take any more!].

Evil Eye

Yesterday was a humdinger for me. It was only 6:30 a.m. and I was in my morning routine, brush the teeth, shower, put in contacts.... AAAWWW, pain take out contact. The problem came when only half the contact came out. I then spent the next 30 minutes digging in my eye trying to find that other half.

While I could feel [painfully feel] that other half, I could not find it. So I had to call mom and ask for a ride to the eye doctors when they opened at 8 a.m.

You gotta know my doctor, dead-pan older man to know that I really did not want to go to him and tell him that I lost my contact inside my eye! But the pain drove me on. He takes me back to exam room and I put my chin on the eyeball examining machine. He looks and looks and looks - doesn't say anything just looks. I am starting to panic now, since he's put eye numbing drops in my eye and I no longer can feel the sucker to tell him where it is. He then pushes the machine away, tells me to close my eye and act like I am looking down. He rubs my eye in a downward motion all along the surface. Then I open my eye and put my chin back in that thingy and voila! he finds the other half. Shows it to me and says "no charge" and sends me out.

Today, I wore my glasses. Enough for now.

Blink takes two

I don't know how I manage to snap the photo the exact time the dogs blink - first it was Seamus and now Winston.

Today was Co-Worker S.' birthday and Sunday is the Boss' so my pocket book got tagged this week.

You know, I'm too tire to blog. Enough for now....

Any topic suggestions for my next entry? I not really inspired to blog right now. Help.

The Day the Music Died

I have to say that I am so disappointed and ashamed of my government. I have made to bones about being a raging Republican but never did I think that I would see the day when I would see a government asking the public to turn in their neighbors for speaking their minds. I thought the country elected Barack Obama but I am starting to think Adolf Hitler was elected. Parents be careful what you say around your children. This is very frightening.
