I think my cold is finally over. I'm not coughing like I used to.

Work's going well. We have a new computer system that we are just starting up. Midnights is doing good with it. Days and afternoons is having a harder time with it. It took some girls as long as it took me to do all of them on midnights to do theirs during the day. Theirs takes longer b/c they have to chart on eating and what they actually do during the day. Midnights is easier b/c we can chart 'did not occur' for 85% of what's being asked about. Tonight is change over, end of the month, what ever you want to call it. I haven't done that before, but looked it over last night to get it in my head what needs to be done. It won't be hard, just long and tedious. Twice or three times the amount of paper work and then charting on the computer. Tiffany said she'd help me, I shouldn't need it if it's quiet like the last two nights, if it's like the three before it, well, we will need all the help we can get. I'm trying to look at this optimistically. If I don't work will be alot more frustrating and it will all be my fault. I'm watching some of the girls who are good on the floor and they are so down about using the computer that they are stressed all day about what they have to do at the end of the day. Not good.

It's raining. Anna is across the road playing and screaming. I'm assuming everyone down the block is home and hearing her. What a ear piercing screech! She's stopped now, maybe someone has said something. Nope cancel that, she's moved down the block, I can still hear her, she's just farther away. Well, at least she's off irritating someone else.

I've been gritting my teeth the last two morning while I sleep. Yesterday I actually dreamed that I couldn't talk decently b/c of my pain in the jaws. They are still sore, I'm trying to relax those muscles.

Okay, so this is a night shift that I won't forget anytime soon. Of course I can't go into details, but uhgg, what a terrible night. The only way it could have gotten worse ... no strike that I can think of alot of ways it could have gotten worse. I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. And I didn't have to stay over, even better! I'm headed to bed as soon as these meds kick in.

Silly me, I've been bringing a ball of yarn to work now for two days hoping to turn it into the beginning of a baby blanket. I haven't even pulled it out at work.

I made a recipe from a mystery book I was reading. I should have known, the book wasn't that great, and I've already tossed the recipe. What I want to know is if the author even tried the recipes before she had them printed in the book. And did she do a taste test with people in her publishing company or even family? I'm guessing not, b/c those muffins were more like bricks than anything else.

Leah had the baby. Marcus Fischer was born this morning. Cool thing happened when I heard the news. Jeremy asked me if I was okay with it, and I had to ask myself why I wouldn't be. Then I remembered and I still dono't have a problem with it. I'm healing, It's only taken 5 years, but I'm getting there.

The whole Micheal Jackson sounds fubar to me. His doctor's vehicle has been impounded & they have robbery homicide detectives looking into his death. What???

Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson both died

So Farrah's death is so overshaddowed by Michael Jackson's death. That's so not fair. Not that anyone can do anything about it but two in one day, not fair to Farrah.

The living room looks so much better. I'm inspired to do more. One room at a time I guess.

I started the zig zag afghan today. I'm using the fugly colors from Vinnies. They are clashing so much they are going together. It's alot easier than I thought it would be.

My cough is still there. Just a tickle that makes me catch my breath every so often.

Jeremy's upstairs said he had to put his feet up. It's lonely down here with out him. Yes, he drives me nuts with his OCD outbursts that boarder on terets. But it's quiet w/o him down here and I wish he could stay down here later. I would go up there, but I will only end up falling asleep. We snuggle for 10 minutes, then he has to sit up, I roll over and fall asleep. I love to snuggle, but I can't sleep this early yet.

There's absolutely nothing of interest on tv. AMC is on, but I've watched it already. But b/c there's nothing else on it is what is on tv. At least I didn't watch all of OLTL. And Southern Belles is on after that. I started watching tv from On Demand, but quickly blew thru the few shows I would even be interested in watching.

I ALMOST FORGOT MY BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE DAY!

I BEAT CARI'S SCORE AT FARKLE.

SECOND GAME AFTER I GOT OFF OF WORK.

I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHAT GAVE ME THE BOOST TO KICK THE LIVING ROOM INTO SHAPE.

GUESS I SHOULD PLAY FARKLE MORE OFTEN, THE HOUSE WOULD BE CLEANER! jk, it won't help at all.

I've been up for almost 24 hours now. I got home from work this morning and felt like cleaning. I shucked out the living room. Mostly just got rid of the junk and rearranged all the books that were hanging off of every surface.

After Jeremy got up we mailed Niki & Dak his diabetic stuff. I hope they appreciate it. I hope this helps him take it more seriously.

It was weird watching my stories during the day. It felt like it should be late evening. That and I was starting to get tired.

I got two garbage bags full of yarn from Vinnies today. Only $12.50 for all of it. I'm going to work on another Fugly Afghan. This time I'm gonna practice those stitches that still have to be mastered. Then I'm gonna put them together like a patchwork. Should make it pretty Fugly. And a good learning experience.

Also picked up alot of towels and Jeremy found a few books.

Well it turns out the woman who does the paperwork came down from Houghton just for Jeremy. He called and told them I was sick and he couldn't get there. They called back and left a message saying he needed to call back. We didn't get the message until after they closed for business.

Oh, an Mom called back returning my call from Sunday. It's what? Tuesday? Good thing nothing was life threatening or no one died. I'm also guessing she also wants rent $$$$.

Jeremy met Missy today. It was so interesting listening to them talk. I think they are twins separated at birth. Jeremy was afraid if he met her that they'd be scared to talk to each other and just stare at each other like they are freaks. Nope, they talked and talked and talked.

We got an industrial size fan for the dining room table. It's pulling the North side of the house cool air into the house. It was so hot in the house b/c I forgot to shut off the oven last night before I went to work. Oops! I've got to start being more careful.

It's cooling down outside, and it's starting to feel cooler in here too.
