Good Day , Bad Day?... How Was Your Day? come and share with us..

Still get myself in panic mode about finding employment. Over-qualified for so much and under-qualified for the rest. Bastards, you know some places do a credit check too? That's not right, yes I will possibly have student loan debt until I die, but hey with gainful employment I could pay it off right? Got some exercise and did my good deed. A bag of blankets, toys and treats for the shelter we got Callie from. Small and high kill, it's sad they just don't have space for such a large county. But eternally grateful they spared him before we came along. Some shelters around here would put down an intact male bull the same day. So happy they gave him a chance.
 

Good morning, kids, and happy Sunday. This is supposed to be our last really nice day for at least a week. I finished up in the garden yesterday but if I really think on it, I can probably find more to do. LOL

Fur, you do know that you can get a deferment on your student loan while you're unemployed, right?

Hollydolly, I'm glad that you get two whole days off to catch up and to rest, especially since the weather is going to be yucky. Just don't overdo on household stuff while you're *resting* :)
 
I did a lot of online shopping yesterday...super deals! It was a relaxing day..cold but bright and sunny. Our winters are always mild so 32 degrees is cold. I love this time of year.

Happy Sunday to everyone!
 

Afternoon folks...

It's a gale force windy, rainy cold day here, so I'm very happy I didn't have to get up and go to the pitface today.

Yesterday I did very little, just tried to recover from Saturdays' hugely hectic exhausting day...

I did get some baking done, some Egg and bacon flans to freeze, and some chocolate cornflake cakes ...and I blanched a whole batch of fruit for smoothies and froze it.

I've got a few bit of chores done this morning..I really need to find some time in the next couple of weeks to sort out my dressing room and find somewhere to store all the clothing , because it's all being hauled out and hubs is refitting the whole room as a Christmas gift for me.:D.unfortunately for him the only time he'll have to do it is actually when he's off over Christmas, so it's going to be quite a project .

My daughter is flying in from Spain tomorrow ..literally a flying visit to have an early Family Christmas dinner with us . I'll be working all day, so I'll just have enough time to get home, get in the shower, and dash out again to dinner at one of our favourite restaurants. December is the busiest time of the year for her business so it's impossible for her to get here at Christmas and we're both working right up until Christmas eve too, so we have no option but to celebrate Christmas early with her and the family. She's flying straight back to Spain the next day.

Georgia...good that you managed to get the garden done before the bad weather descends...hunker down chikadee...and let it do it's worst while you're all cosied up snugly indoors.. :D
 
Looks like today will be our last warm day for a good long while. It's 60F right now, overcast and the heavens are expected to open up this afternoon when a cold front will pass through. Then we'll have our normal "cold" December weather. We may even get frost toward the end of the week. Maybe it's time for seed catalogs:)
 
Good Morning folks...

It's a grey damp cold and windy day here this morning (almost 10am)..Going into the workhouse a little later today than usual at around lunchtime..yeaaah I got a lie in.

Yesterday I was at the hospital to have an MRI scan with contrast...( long awaited)...and I was taken to a brand new dept just recently opened, ooooh it was beautiful, state of the art Magnetom scanners etc...gorgeous, new area...with all Brand new sparkling equipment
The MRI scan should have taken around 40 minutes..but 30 minutes into it, this brand new State of the Art thing broke down..:aargh: so they had to haul me out of that that SOTA Coffin structure..( my back was killing me lying flat out for so long as well)...but I had to be lifted out..and sit with the cannula in my arm and in my double back to front hospital issue gown while they tried to fix it...:waiting:30 minutes later we were back on again..lie down, put the Hannibal lecter mask back on...get sucked up into the manetic machine of terror... and start all over again....3 hours later , battered and bruised...I finally got out..:unhappy:....

Oh well teething problems perhaps ...let's hope it got all the pictures...that's all I'm interested in LOL>>:D
 
Wow, holly. I’ve only had one MRI and I remember closing my eyes, and telling myself “I gotta do what I gotta do”. Not fun. Yes, let’s hope they got all the pics they needed. At least it's over. :bighug:
 
Thank you Georgia , AC and Karen.....you're such great supportive buddies .. :love_heart:

Today I'm a little bit on edge, because I got a call yesterday from the consultants' secretary to say the consultant needs to see me ASAP...so I have to go in this afternoon and see her . This is very unusual in the uk..usually I have to wait a a week or 2 for the results of the tests so to be called in immediately is a worry, but I can't get too concerned or I'll get sick with worry , just gotta see what she has to say..so I've taken the day off today..and hope that it's nothing too awful.

Georgia yes, we had a great visit with my daughter...we went out for dinner as a family, and stayed out until past midnight even tho' I had work the following day ..

She flew back the very next day to Spain and immediately had to take one of her dogs to her private vet because it looked like he was about to have another stroke...poor little soul, he's already had one, and now at 9 years old he's displaying the symptoms of yet another...

It was my s-i-l's birthday yesterday too, so she had to race around trying to find him a gift . I'd have been like a headless chicken, but she keeps really calm...she's so organised.

Anyway the sun is shining..that's a bonus after all the grey wet windy weather we've had this week...so I hope you all have a good day whatever you're doing today.. :D

Thinking of you and sending best wishes. It's no fun waiting for tests and such. You deserve a day off anyway. Please keep us posted when you can.

:sunshine::rose:
 
Hollydolly! Check in and tell us what the doctor had to say. I keep looking for a post, but there's nothing. I am worried about you and bet others are too...
 
Christmas parade this morning with the little one ( 2 1/2 ). She was more interested in the candy being thrown than anything else. I let her pick up candy IF and only IF it was thrown right to the curb and I had hold of the back of her shirt. She spent most of the parade counting it, sniffing it (wasn't allowed to eat any), making everyone ELSE sniff it and arranging it. She did prove that she was the true offspring of her grandfather and father by screaming "OOOOOOOH, CARS!!!" when the local Camaro club drove by. She loved the dogs and the horses but wasn't sure about the wailing firetrucks and police cars.
 
Oh I'm sorry ladies...I've been at work and not thought about coming onto update you about this...sorrrrrry...*smacks my own hand*...but thank you so much for your concern Karen Georgia , Rose and JJ...I'm afraid I have nothing to relate because basically it was a hospital Crock Up..they didn't even have the results of the MRI scan from the other hospital yet...so long story short, I've been given a second appointment to see the consultant next Friday which is the earliest they could fit me in...as an ''overbooker''...so again I'll have to arrange time off work, and yet another week of worry and pain!!

However...the good news is that finally the letter with my appointment for the MRI scan for my Spine has finally arrived.. it was waiting when I got home this evening...so that's on Monday 21st...at yet another hospital..and yet another afternoon to have to take off work...sheesh..with all that radiation and time off work..I wonder if anyone will be employing a Glowing Hobo next year ... ;)
 
I dunno, Karen. If Hollydolly smacks her hand hard enough, maybe she'll forget about the pain in her back...at least momentarily:) Geez, what else can they muck up? Wait. I won't ask because there's just no telling. Glad you finally got the go-ahead for the MRI, even if it does mean another hospital and more time off work.

BTW, will you get Christmas Day off? Christmas Eve?
 
Thinking of you Holly. Nothing special today except my favorite library used shelves. Had to make two trips to my car plus a cart for books I was donating back. Did I mention I REALLY like to read? One was a hardcover of "Unbroken", my Dad said it is awesome.
 
Every day in my existence, progressing forward, is emblazoned on my mind as one more which can never, ever, again be experienced. Each sunset represents one more which might never be comparably seen again.

The Solstices, is it, representing the shortest and longest days of the year, are by me, anyway, avidly watched for any unusual difference which I may never witness again. Each setting sun represents one sunset never again to be witnessed.

My wife says I'm nuts. imp
