Were going to get it...

Well he is on his way & he can not make up his mind which way is coming.. Hurricaine Charley is now a Catagory 4 hurricaine with wind speeds of 145. He has take an easterly turn  into sarasota, making him come right through central Florida. Which means we are going to take a pounding. All these people moved to orlando to get away from this storm & now they are right in the path. Charley is going to eat florida for a snack. munch, munch munch.... It is starting to cloud up & it is sprinkling. Keep yeah posted..  

1 .. 2.. Punch

Well, Florida is getting a 1.. 2.. punch. Tropical Storm Bonnie & Hurricaine Charley. Bonnie has come ashore in the panhandle & has been causing tornados in Jacksonville. Tomorrow, August 13th we will get the second punch, Charley.. The whole east coast is under Hurricaine & Tornado warnings. A few of the supervisors are going in early to see if the patients are coing in for their appointments. So they may closed the office.. Are they trying to drain me of PTO hours... I only have 6 hours left.... Why it is not going to start really affeting this area until later tomorrow afternoon. Let us keep our PTO. We have to use our PTO because of the storm. I would enjoy the day off but I need the money & PTO. Oh well, It may be long journal entry since I will home all weekend & the house will probably be pretty clean. Hey I might even get something done on Dr. Inserillo's retirement book.....

late night & sleep deprived

do you know what it is like to be tired but your body will not sleep. I am extremely tired but My mind is wondering & thinking away that it will not sleep. I have to get some sleep so I can work but it will not come. Yikes...... mind quit thinking. I keep thinking in my head that I should have purchase the year long pass for Kennedy Space center so I can complete my Elongated penny set since a few of the machines were out of operation & i just have this feeling that there are more hidden within. I also have indigestion on top of this also.... Come on sleep.....If I sit upright I feel so sleepy but my mind is in full steam ahead when I lay down....

The adventure of trying to register for school.

I now know why kids drop out of college. It is truly a pain in the butt & almost impossible to get registered for classes. I have spend more time trying to register for classes this week then I have been home. I spend 2 hours friday re-registering into Brevard Community college only to be told to come back Wednesday so my paperwork can get into the computer & become an active student. I was instructed to sign into talk to an advisor on Wednesday. Well I leave work a little earlier then I usually leave so I can get there & get home farly quickly. Driving home I realise I am not sure that I have enough gas to make to BCC, so I pull in to a HUGE gas station named Sunco. Put my card in to the pump. It says "Pay inside". I is daylight out why do we need to go inside to pay. I waddle my shrinking butt into the store, pick up a drink & go the registers (Yes 2 of them). There is a line with the total of about 8 to 9 people in them. The 2 bimbos behind the bullet (riot) proof glass are aguing because one of the idiots (the cashier at the head of the line I am in) register will not ring up gas. Of course everyone is trying to get gas. I just give up & return my Sierra Mist back to the cooler & waddle back to the truck. Now I am praying that I do not have to push my litte SUV to the the next gas station. By some luck I make to the next station & fill up. Pull out & guess what..... The Railroad gates goes down. Why must I always catch the train when I am in a hurry (Yup, caught this morning as I rushed to work, my luck 2 in 1 day). Finally on my way again. I make & sign in a 5:45pm. Sit & read until my name was called at 6:15pm only to find out I AM STILL NOT ACTIVE IN THE SYSTEM. The advisor tells me she can not help advise me which classes I need until I pick a major (more specific then General AA or AS) & become active in the system. So I am sent back to registration (Yeah were I dropped my paperwork off at on friday) to have this sorted out. Sign in at 6:35pm. Finally make it to a registration clerk, who pulls my paperwork from Friday & states "we are finding that is has been taking a little longer then 3 dayto get the students active in the system. I now 5 minutes earlier tell a student 3 days, poor boy you will be wondering around like me on Friday.... Well by now it is almost 7pm. The she tells me that I am registered for A&P 2 online BUT I need to call the community education branch to register for EMT Refresher. Great... This means more time running around BCC to get this class also... I am half register, I have not paid for my classes or picked up my books, none of which I can do because it is now after 7pm and those departments are closed. This means I have to try & register for EMT refresher tomorrow & spend Friday (again) trying to finish registering. I never had this much trouble trying to register at the Palm Bay campus. So very frustrating. Yikes..... My head is still aching for this evening. well I am going to take something for my head & get some shut eye.

Okay Just saw the neated thing on TV. It is a commercial for the Glade Whisp.. It is this little device that release a POOF or fragrance into the air.. What a trip....It is too funny.. Cody would have too much fun with that.. He would beat it up.. Too funny.

The rain seems to have slowed & now the frogs sing this joyous song. The soft frog song across the breeze. The lightening has seemed to move past.

Rain

I am sitting here listening to it rain. The rain drops splashing in the concret & pounding on the patio roof. There is an occasional glimmer across the sky. Sometimes there is a shutter of the windows as thunder shakes the house. It would be great to have a swing out on the porch with a fire pit, reading my Harry Potter book. Just swinging in the breeze.

The weight loss issue is driving me nuts. Wednesday I was sent back to week 1 menu with nothing but fish & chicken. I am about to go nuts with the chicken. I am tired of eating chicken. I eat is almost 6 freakin days a week. I'm going to turn into a chicken..... I don't like fish that much. I will eat shimp but do not feel like cooking 2 different meals for us. Mom barely eats chicken & only eats fish sticks. I guess I will be eating a lot of salads with shrimp or chicken...... YUCK....

Good news: My father called to ask if I had vacation time. I told him not much but if I needed off I would take it. SO..... My dad may come down next weekend & spend a day with me... Not with carolyn's family & me to drive up there.. But with Me Alone...... To do something fun with me. We may go up to the space center & goof around. I can not wait..YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Frustrated with the world

Well I will say that the family is doing the same.

Work is beyond venting. I work with some blind idiots as a management team. I have a co-worker who is has a very bad drinking problem. Management is aware of the problem & has done nothing about this problem. One of our so called management members, states she use to work in a drug & alcohol rehab center. Nothing has been done about it. The last few weeks she has been complaining of chest pain. She goes to the hospital but checks herself out before they have determined what happening inside her. So what does she do, goes on a cruise & comes back married. now she has been out the last 3 days with a varity of excuses. You should not call in sick without telling you husband not to call you work. She can not concentrate, she has the shakes, she is making serious mistakes & you can smell the alcohol on her breath. She is either on a binge or her new hubby has put his foot down & she is going through detox. What she going to have to do hurt someone or drop a baby before she is sent for help?????????? My supervisor is trying to get into nursing school. She worries me because she just can not think out of the box, so to speak. She does not have the people skills to treat patients well & do it at a low speaking level so that the whole office does not hear. She may do well in a medical office or a nursing home but she will fail in a hospital (L&D or ER) setting. God please do not let me or any of my family members fall in to her hands for care.

Weight------- It has completely stalled out. No weight or inches loss since surgery. I am not sure what my body is up to anymore. It is firming up but no loss. I want it gone. Do I have to go back to week 1 of the diet & starve for 4 weeks. Just totally frustrating........

Family update

Well here is the status of my family members as of this evening.

Grandpa - Trying to everything he did prior to the Heart cath against the Doctor's advice. he does get tired easily & does go and rest.

Evelyn - Well as you know she went home after a doctors appointment which she was told to go straight to the hospital for treatment. She went home, took her phone off of the hook & hide from the reality that she needs medical help. Luckily her doctor is ordering her a psyhic evaluation while she is in the hospital.

Otherwise the family is losing their minds by the frustration of the stituations with in the family.

My birthday :-(

Well yesterday was my 29th birthday & all I did was sit around. We had plans of going to Orlando & goof around over there on International Drive. Well by the time mom had finished talking to her hopefully future clients, she did not feel well enough to go. She felt perfectly well before handbut yuck!!!!. Now it is Sunday & she has the energy to go to the movies. Well I have laundry to finish & a few earns to run. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE MOVIES. You did not want to go any other time I suggested. Well I want Chinese food but she does not feel like that either. So we are going to Cracker Barrel instead. So I sit here watching the rain fall outside waiting for her to get ready.

Oh yeah grandpal is doing well at home. Now Evelyn was admitted on Friday to the hospital because she has Congestive Heart Failure and they want to do further testing. Carolyn called to wish me a Happy Birthday, & she told me about how she was kind enough to help my grandmother while he was in the hospital & to even clean their kitchen (Which could have been condemmed by the health department because it is so bad.) I think when I was there in Decemeber the food was trying to escape from the kitchen out of the back door for a better life. Run food Run!!!!! Of course Evelyn or Edwin never called or went to visit grandpa while he was in the hospital. Evelyn would not even answer the phone when they called to tell her how he was doing after surgery. I am beginning to wonder what kind of drugs grandma was on or did she drop the middle 2 children on their heads as babies. They are worthless pieces of skin. It must be a gene because Evelyn's daughter Marie is just as he mom is.
