Good Morning!
Since raynes is in Chicago, I'll start, even though I don't have anything interesting to say. I like to read what everyone else is up to. 
It should be all quiet around here today. I have a few errands to run after work so I drove today and that's about it. Someone tell me they are doing something exciting.

Re: Good Morning!
Nothing exciting here. In fact, the complete opposite. I'm pretty sure the vet has given up, so they're running tests for a 2nd time now just to rule things out. After these, if nothing shows that can be corrected, I'm going to find out how to get her off all the medicine she's on safely and just let her be. I can't keep spending money for trial and error situations, only to find out that things aren't working even close to what they should be. Not to mention, she was much better off before we started all of this crazy stuff. She's not even 5 yet, so it kills me to think this could be her last year...if that.
Can I just curl up in bed and do a little time travel? Hoping for better news by the end of the week. Sorry to be a downer.
Good morning! Today should be a pretty busy day since I have payroll and end of the month stuff to do. I love busy days, they make the day go by so much faster.
Tonight I'm determined to not be lazy when I get home, it seems like the past couple of weeks I've gone home and sat in front of the TV and never moved. Tonight I want to go for a walk, pull some weeds in the front yard, and make something yummy to bring to a BBQ tomorrow for J's work.
Haha, I don't know which Good Morning post to reply to, but reba's was here first, so...
Anyway, I had a nice evening. Had dinner with my great aunt and uncle who were in tonw briefly on their way back from a trip. They wanted to go to a very touristy restaurant for dinner and I felt kind of lame being there but it was fine. Then I went home, "did some laundry" (which consisted of folding approximately six towels and putting away some underwear....and leaving the rest of the stuff in the basket), and watched My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding on DVR. Very interesting show.
Good morning! Last night was good. I went for a run in my fancy new running shorts. They sure make a difference. I also had prepped dinner so I had a great pineapple/soy/sesame seed pork tenderloin with vegetables for dinner. Yippee for healthy and tasty.
Today I'm not sure whats going on. I have a meeting at 5pm with a client to go over her existing house. Other than that I don't have to much going on.
snoopy, I really hope you get better news soon.
Morning, all. Just another day for the countdown. I've been told I have to train my replacement. Given that I haven't been given substantive work for a while, I'm not sure what to train her on, but okay! I have to admit I'm not looking forward to it because she's one of the straws that broke the camel's back for me around here when she was hired earlier this year. My supervisor is also not thrilled that he now has to work with her.
Last night was nice--we had dinner early and I was curled up and reading in bed by 8pm. I think I had fallen asleep by 8:30. Tonight is a gym night, then some more reading and hopefully lots of sleep!
Nothing much going on for me. I just got back from a chiropractor appointment, discussing next steps since my backpain just won't go away. I'm going to go in for an MRI once I get back from holiday, to see if that shows anything.
Crazy weather storms here this afternoon - thunder, lightning and hail. Makes me happy to be inside. Would be nice if it cleared off by this evening as I have a driving lesson tonight.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Yesterday was pretty easy going. Today I am hoping for the same. I am looking forward to Thursday..(I have Thursday and Friday off for Canada so I have a four day weekend). I think DH and I will probably go somewhere. There are a few places I wouldn't mind visiting for the fireworks.
Since I'm off work today I did get a chance to sleep in just a little bit. I was woken up by the sound of my Dad coming in the front door and then doing work on the side of the house. I knew he would come out today but I was hoping it wouldn't be too early in the morning.
Today's plan is some cleaning around the house, errands and getting out to the gym to do some core work and HIIT.
thankfully the presentation rooms here have wifi. I was going nuts with no Internet connection.
Dinner last night was awesome. As Amie (Arnie) said, the food was fantastic (Mandee, I had crabs *snicker* and it made me think of you) and the company was great.
As expected, I'm one of very few women here, and as a consequence, the room is bloody freezing!
Anywho, it's presentation time, so I should go make with the attention paying.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Morning! My summer tutoring job started yesterday, and it's keeping me pretty busy. We are supposed to play a softball game tonight, but it has been pouring for the past hour, so we'll see.
Snoopy - I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through. We went through something similar with our cat a couple years ago, and it ended up costing us over $1000 to figure out what was wrong and getting him the medication to fix it. It still amazes me that we spent so much money, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.Snoopy - *hugs* I really hope the pup rallies and gets to live a happy life.
I took a mental health day yesterday, and wrote a letter to our management team addressing my concerns. I figured it was one last good faith effort to give them a chance to address my concerns or I'm going to openly be looking for work or even quit before I have something lined up, which is something DH is starting to see as a viable option.
Glad to hear we're not the only crazy animal people. I'm just not sure when I'll actually be able to say enough is enough. We're already a couple thousand into all of this, and I still think I'd spend twice that just to fix it. I'm just hoping there is something to fix.
Morning ladies!
My night was uneventful, unless you consider me making dinner. DH usually cooks, but he got up late for work lastnight so it was on me. Lets just say that is ALWAYS comes out better when he cooks. ha ha.
Today, I am trying to finish preparing for my next training session tomorrow. Seriously, I will be so glad when I am off this project. I feel like I can't keep up.
Tonight I am hoping to go for a walk with the boys, and then start pulling out our camping stuff for this weekend. Is it Thursday yet?
Courtney, I hope you feel better soon.
As Raynes and Abarber mentioned, we had a fabulous time last night. Today has been nuts at work, but things are getting slowly checked off the to do list. My plan for this evening is relatively unexciting, as it will involve finishing up some more work. I am seriously looking forward to the long weekend. Hope everyone has a good evening.
