Just a quick note to let those who care know that I am alive, well and behaving as well as I know how. Busy busy busy is what I have been. The only reason I'm on the stream is that I couldn't connect to work tonight to work OT. Probably a good thing as I had a blast on Bella's blog with her chat window - how cool is that right?

My family is doing well. Oldest daughter still has no job but apparently isn't panicking - she is getting offers from the state (government work) and apparently they move pretty darn slow so hopefully she will be officially offered one of those. The youngest is dreading working in the heat but when Thursday comes around and she is bringing home over 500 bucks - she sings a different tune. I'm jealous but more happy for her - that's great money for a 19 year old for summer work. Hubby is doing well. He is playing more volleyball now than ever. Maybe there are some cute young chicks playing and that is why he goes so much or it could be that he just loves to play it and has the opportunity a lot. Which ever it is, he still a great dad, good husband and if it makes him happy - go for it!!! Doc is another story. I'm not going to get into that right now as there just isn't enough time - let's just say I've been doing some thinking and seeing things differently but not completely different.

And then there is my mother. Let's see, had cataract surgery, one month later the night before she is to have the other eye's cataract removed, she goes blind in the eye that was already operated on. We go through doctors and doctors. Memorial Day we spend it in the emergency department waiting to be seen by an ophthalmologist only to be told she now has glaucoma and that is causing her to be nausea, etc. One week after that she is operated on again to have a shunt put in that eye to allow drainage of the fluid so the pressure is decreased and she is comfortable. At one time she was on five eye drops. We have seen a lot of doctors - she now has a NEW ophthalmologist because the original one had the manners of a dead carcass on the highway - he was lame to say the least. The doctor she has now is very people oriented and actually cares! He went into his office to meet her on a Sunday afternoon because he felt he needed to see her when she started to get nauseated again from the eye (apparently there is a nerve around the eye that relates to feeling nauseous and can cause vomiting). We appreciate him a lot.

As for me....well mandatory meeting tomorrow at work - I believe they are going to tell us that our boss will no longer be our boss - yippee!!!! and that our supervisor will move into that position - good move for our department. Things will be better without the old boss - she held us all back - her form of management was intimidation which didn't work but she didn't care as she kept doing it. duh!

Well, I'm off to bed and hopefully can catch up with some venting and thought-provoking thoughts (*heeeheee) soon.

Have a good day!
