A Week in Review plus two.

Saturday March 8, 2008

Went to lunch at Olive Garden: soup, salad, and breadsticks for $5.99. Can't go wrong with that. Headed to David's Bridal, just wanted to try on some dresses. Had an idea at what I wanted but when I tried on the dresses, they didn't seem right. Looked at a few in their catalog. Tried one more on. Got choked up. Teary eyed. I found the dress.......I think. That night talked to Eric

Sunday March 9, 2008

My sister Karen and I went to Boston. Actually Braintree and spent the night. Karen was having reconstruction surgery on Monday. Have to be at the hospital at 6:00 a.m. Went to Jimbo's South for dinner. Nice little restaurant. That night talked to Eric.

Monday March 10, 2008

Got up at 4:30 a.m. can't remember the last time I was up that early. Getting old (er). Drove into Boston. Only took one wrong turn before making it to the hospital. Not to bad. Got Karen all situated and they told me that the surgery is usually 18 hours, but Karen's doctor (Dr. Lee) was apparently good at this and is fast so the surgery would be between 10 and 12 hours. Karen told me to go home. So I did. Took me an hour to get out of Boston. Had to call my mother to figure out how to get out. Mom told me I needed a GPS. Ya' think!?!

Karen's surgery started at 8:00 a.m., Dr. Lee called me at 6:50 p.m. to let me know that everything went well and Karen will be in recovery until tomorrow. Then she will be in a room after that. Left messages during the day for Eric and then spoke to him at night.

Tuesday March 11, 2008

Not much going on this day. Woke up, got ready for work, went to work then went to the gym for a workout with Broomhilda. Workout Witch from Final Cut class. Decided that this was the last time I am taking this class. Will figure something else out. Talked to Eric about class. Good sport that he is, listening to me whine. Love him buckets and pails full.

Wednesday March 12, 2008

Much of the same thing as Tuesday. Go to work. Find out the provider that I am working with called out sick. Had to call and reschedule patients. Day off from gym. Good thing too. Just a tad lame. Hate that class. Went home during the daylight. WOW. Could actually see Sargeant when I let him out to P&P. Talked to my sister who was doing fine but not a hundred percent. Talked to Eric to end the day.

Thursday March 13, 2008

Same old thing, just a different day. Went to gym. DID NOT take Final Cut class. Will have to decide on what to do later. Did treadmill. Worked with weights. Stretched. Good workout. Called Karen doing ok. Very sore. Talked to Eric. He was in Texas, very warm there. Now in West Virginia. Will be home soon.

Friday March 14, 2008

Going today back to Boston to pickup Karen but first I have to work for a while. Got a call from my mom around 11:00. "Call your sister, she wants to come home." "I am leaving work at 3:00 to go to pick her up." Called my sister and in her most pathetic voice ever heard on the planet she says, "GET me OUT of here." I will try to leave work sooner. But can't promise anything. Got to leave work at 12:30. Drove to Boston and drove home. Talked to Eric on and off after getting home and running around to get my sister's prescriptions filled. I know, I know. What a good sister I am.

Saturday March 15, 2008

Had a few friends from work over. Good time was had by all. Might have something to do with the champagne punch but not sure and some finger food. Going back on diet tomorrow. Eric is at the OC (operating center) in PA waiting for trailer relay. Got to talk to him almost all day.
Talked to him again right before bed.

Sunday March 16, 2008

Not doing anything exciting today. Going to get groceries and the newspaper. And chilling all day. I might even take a shower.


Maybe, maybe not.
