So Sorry

The house is going to stay dirty – that is just the way it is.  I’ve got most of the work done but not all of it and it is almost 11pm – I need to go to bed since I have to be up at 5:45am to get to work by 7am.   I hope [...]

A First for Baxter

Took the boys to the dog park today.  As customary, we started in the small dog pen so they could run around without being chased by bigger dogs.  Bennie prefers this and will run to the far reaches of the pen.  Both dogs notified me it was time to switch to the bigger dog pen [...]

Shopping

My son and I spent nearly the entire day shopping.  We started at the Coralridge Mall around 2pm and quit at 10pm – I’m exhausted.  We had a most excellent time even though neither of us bought a lot.  It was fun to browse and get ideas for Christmas.
It is 4am now and I’m going [...]

Day Off Went Fast

My day of vacation went fast I must say.  Went in and picked up my son for lunch.  He took me to the steakhouse which was nice.  I was planning on taking him but he had a gift certificate so we used that.  It was delicious as usual.
We had a good talk about his plans [...]

Pain

I have a very uncomfortable pain in the left side of my abdomen.  It starts under the rib and goes down past my hips.  It is a constant dull ache with occasional sharp pains that make me wince.
I am not worried about the pain in that I know what is causing it – I let [...]

Down the Sidewalk

Didn’t leave work till 3:30 am so didn’t get home to walk the dogs till 3:50.  It is chilly out and quite windy again – one could easily get hypothermia out there tonight.
As the dogs and I walked along the dark part of the street, I noticed something big lumbering towards us in the shadows.  Both [...]

Back Problems

I have no idea how I hurt my back but I did.  It isn’t even my lower back which is where I normally injure it.  Nope, somehow I strained the muscles in the middle of my back about 2″ below my shoulder blades.  Oh my how it hurts. 
We played out at the dog park for [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

Amy Marie

My niece is in having surgery today – I hope it is going well for her.  She is in roller derby and snapped her ankle in a fall while at a scrimmage.  The break is bad enough that she had to have surgery to repair it.  She doesn’t know how long she will be off work [...]

The Scoop

So here is today’s scoop.  The dispatcher that we all wanted to quit, quit.  This means that, unless management decides differently, I will be moving to days and one of the other dispatchers will be moving into my slot.  That will leave one opening that they aren’t sure they are going to let us fill [...]
