Friday Chat - July 16th
 

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, it's finally Friday! Still have to work 9 hours today and 9 hours tomorrow! So I'll be glad when tomorrow is over! Fridays and Saturdays are always our busiest time at the restaurant. The most money then, but darn my feet will be feeling it! Hope everyone has a great weekend! Any plans? I have none except working and then resting on Sunday!

Lisa: Try not to work too hard!! You need more rest!!

Well, it's finally Friday and I feel like crap. Good reason too--Grandpa's funeral was yesterday. The showing was on Thursday for the family. That went ok (Ok, I admit probably did a no-no and didn't "approach" the casket. The guy in there did NOT look like Grandpa!!). So of course the sis-in-law and me started drinking afterward....Had 2 drinks and WOW was I "slightly" tipsy. Took 2 aspirin and went to bed around 12:30. So yesterday we went and bought DH a dress shirt. Then headed to Wal-Mart for the girls clothes and mine. I actually like the dress pants I bought---but not the reason I had to buy them. So of course I was crying and only had ONE tissue for the whole ceremony. Dang thing was dripping wet by the time the service ended. Oldest DD started crying during the song "How Great Thou Art". Oh man that started me all over again. Then AFTER the ceremony had to snag some more kleenex's from the other sis-in-law due to the WWII vets that did the gunshot thing---and taps!!! Oh ****! OH!!!!! DH hasn't cried yet. Not even when his mom gave him Grandpa's wedding ring!!!!
So my eating wasn't OP yesterday. Figure so what. I was too stressed to watch what I was putting in my mouth. Figured today was another day and so be it. Just wish I didn't have to work!!! Hope you all had better days than mine!!

Oh....forgot to mention. I might be applying for a job at the local hospital. Forgot the name of the department--but it's where they draw blood and do the lab work. SIL works there and says they have openings....and she's friends with the person that hires for that department so I'd be a shoe-in. Add to that they train on the job and I'd be making almost $2 more starting out than I do where I'm at (and have been for EIGHT years!)

Brenda: Thanks for your concern! I am getting ready to soon cut back a day at work. The doctor almsot filpped yesterday when I told her I work Fridays from 11;30-9:30 or 10 and then go back from 6am-3pm on Saturday! Saturdays are usually done with no break at all because we are usually so very busy. I am going to try to make it about 2 or 3 more weeks, and then start taking Saturdays off! Never worked a job where I had weekends off, so that will be a big change! Sorry about all that you had to go through yesterday! Funerals can be so hard. I remember my mother's. It was very hard to go through. She died suddenly, so think that made it even worse than it would have been. Plus it was the week of Thanksgiving! I am sure that it will eventually hit your DH. Men sometimes take a lot longer to show emotions! Good luck on that new job!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!!

Hi Ladies SMOOCHIES!!!

Brenda aww so sorry to hear about G'pa. Hugs to you and your family. It surely is a hard time. Your applying for a hosp job...GO FOR IT !!!!! I'll be crossing my fangers and boobies that you'll get it (yeah I'm talented ;) )

Lisa, feel better hon, hugs !!

Not to much to say, I'm being really good on the diet, yeah can you believe it. I'm gonna bite the bullet and weigh myself prob sunday to see what damage I did over the past few weeks... but I gotta know.

Have a wonderful weekend and I love you all !!!!

Morning everyone.

I am falling asleep at my desk and it is only 9:30! :faint: Oh this is going to be a long day I can tell.
I had to leave work a little early yesterday due to migraine. I called the doc and she said that it made sense that I would have one after hitting my head so bad and the stitches and all. I have it today too but right now it is a dull roar. :crossed:
Everyday it seems to be getting more black and blue....just hope by next weekend it will be in better shape. We have a wedding to attend.

Nothing big planned for the weekend....which I am very happy about. I'm sure DH will be putzing around the house somewhere! I will have to play on my new sewing machine. That dang thing is still getting the better of me!

Mrs H: Please please please don't do too much. Are you waitressing? That is really hard work never mind being pregnant :fr:

Brenda: I am so sorry. I know you will feel better soon. You just have to let yourself feel all the stuff and process everything then it gets better. I remember my father's funeral........he died suddenly so I was in too much of a daze to cry. It is such a hard thing to go through. But we manage to do it. Sometimes life is amazing. Don't worry about your eating...get through all this first.

Leenie: And where were you yesterday? Hmmmm? I haven't been very good eating or drinking wise this week...just trying to get through it and then I will start fresh next week. Hopefully neither of us have done much damage!

Well, off to start work.

Lisa: sounds like you should be taking Saturdays off even faster than you want!

Leenie: Bet the "damage" isn't as bad as you thought. Keep up the good work :)

Jane: Sorry to hear you're still not up to par. Hopefully the migraines go away and you start feeling better.

I'm nervous. I'd love to apply for that job but what if I don't like it. Or what if I don't "get it" (know what I mean?)? All these "what if's" running through my head are pretty much keeping me from filling out an application. SIL pretty much told me if I apply she'll talk to her friend and I'd get the job. But "what if".....
I'm so tired and lazy I don't feel like flinging dirt or mowing lawn. So I'm going to tell DH if he wants to do that it's fine--but I'm taking a "down time" day to adjust. I've got clothes to wash and fold and then that'll be my extent of work.

Very quiet afternoon....here and at work. But it is almost done! WOOHOO
Now if I can just get rid of this headache then I will be a happy girl

Brenda: APPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on...you know you are good enough. Don't let those feelings get in the way of a great opportunity for you. If you get it and you don't like it after a while then you leave...simple as that. But OMG what if you like it? :lol:

Jane: did the doc recommend anything stronger than tylenol for the headaches?? Hope they go away soon.

The job would be full-time vs the part-time I'm working now. I'd be away from the DD's and DH longer than I'm used to. Sure, it'd be more money in our pockets (or I should say for paying off bills)......oh man. I'll work up a resume and see what can be done.
