Time to relax

by

I’m trying to relax this weekend. This past week was fairly busy. I’ve been working to get my house in order – cleaning and sorting things out, getting taxes done and on top of that I’ve also been busy trying to get my old job back. I had appointments with my family doctor and the Occupational health doctor at my workplace this past week and it looks like in a couple of weeks I may very well be working in the Emergency Ward again. Yeah!

I also saw an old friend for a little while this week too. Man his place was a mess! I guess he’s become a bit of weight lifter or something in his spare time. There was exercise equipment in one corner, magazines and xenadrine ripped reviews. He looked good though so I guess it’s working for him. He has the absolute cutest little dog. I have to get my dog and his dog to meet. I’m sure they’ll get along famously!

Ok … as I said … time to relax, that’s what the weekend is for after all isn’t it? And if I’m going to be going back to work again sometime soon I’m not going to have that many weekends left anymore because I’ll be working at least every second weekend.

It seems to be TV night

by

We’re just having a lazy night watching TV. I always use the PVR to tape our favorite TV shows so we’re just catching up on some of this weeks shows this evening. Right now we’re watching Big Bang. It’s such a funny show. I just love all of the characters on the show. Each one is great. Oh and Sheldon in particular is hilarious and I love his funny t shirts – I check each show to see which one he’s wearing.

I’m not sure how much longer my husband is going to last for this TV night though .. he’s been falling asleep since 8:30! I don’t know why he’s so tired.

What are your favorite shows? Do you like Big Bang Theory too?

Back to the old grind

by

Another weekend, another day cleaning up the basement. Sigh … I guess I can’t complain, I’ve escaped cleaning and sorting out the mess in the basement all week and even last weekend. I know I should be working on it a little bit each day, but my husband made a good portion of the mess down there and he hasn’t been around to help so I don’t feel like I should have to do all the work on my own. However, if it’s ever going to get done I think I’m going to have to do most of it.

We were supposed to work on the basement together today and as I just explained in my last post my husband made a mistake with his work schedule and he ended up getting called in to work since he really was supposed to be working this evening. So … I went downstairs to do a bit of work on my own.

I’m just sorting through small stuff and deciding what to keep or throw out. I’m finding all kinds of things down there – birthday cards that we bought as extras and didn’t use, little collector toys from restaurants like McDonalds, even some testors paint from a model project Chris did with his nephew a few years ago. There’s so much to sort through! I think I’m going to have a headache soon! LOL

Ok back to work.

Change of Schedule

by



Strange … my husband came home from work yesterday telling me that his schedule had changed. Normally – well lately anyway, he’s been working on Saturday evenings and having Sundays and Mondays off … but his boss decided to switch his schedule with someone else’s because another worker was away so he said he was going to work Monday to Friday this coming week and not work this evening.


Well guess what … at about 3:35 pm our phone rings and it’s the hospital asking where Chris is … he’s still on the schedule and he’s supposed to be working! He ran out of here so fast he forgot his ID tags! He needs his ID card when he’s working to get into special employee only areas. I noticed that he’d forgotten his Id right after he left but he was two blocks away by then (he can walk to work from here) so I grabbed my coat and put a leash on the dog and went after him but he didn’t come back out of the hospital like I thought he would when he realized he’d forgot his ID. Apparently he got some kind of temporary ID made. So I wasted my time and froze my butt outside … but the dog did get an extra walk so I guess that was ok.

Funny smells and funny stories

by

Two weeks ago I had to go out of town to attend my cousins funeral. I was away for two days. It was a whirlwind emotional trip with one of my brothers and his wife. The only good thing about the trip was seeing two of my bothers and their wives and of course all of the rest of my relatives including my cousins sisters and her mother who happens to be my only remaining living aunt.

My husband didn’t come with us on our trip. He was working and I don’t think he would have come anyway since we’re in the midst of breaking up. He stayed home and had a bit of a pity party on Facebook and “he says” had his cousin over for a visit. When I returned home on the Saturday the house had a really weird smell. I don’t know what it was exactly … I know my husband is smoking cigarettes again so maybe he had a few cigarettes inside the house. He also likes to smoke cigars every once in a while in fact he used to like Acid cigars so maybe he bought one of those. The house did smell a little cigar like – but not that much.

Anyway .. I wasn’t pleased when I discovered what DH had been up to while I’d been mourning my cousin. I wasn’t happy. Naturally I asked him if he or anyone else was smoking inside the house and of course he said no, but I don’t believe that.
