BWAH HAHAHAHA
Ruth, Maury is really still alive?!?! Last time I saw, wasn't he giving out paternity tests? Well, ya gotta make money somehow, right? MMMmmmm, veggie soup sounds good.
Debbie, I am jealous of your meet-up with
Pearlrose! Let us know how the visit is.
Cottage - so sorry you feel yucky.
Hope you feel better quick.
Jennifer - hope your work goes quickly so we can visit more
.
Karen - enjoy your movies tonight, sounds like a good NYE to me!
You guys are so sweet and supportive, thank you - even though it has nothing to do with SBD! I guess I'm glad my appetite is suppressed (normally I'm a stress/boredom eater), and I've lost close to 10 lbs. How bizarre for me. The doc's PA yesterday said my increase in symptoms is probably post-op swelling, and I need to do less. I'm barely doing anything at all!
I called my boss and told her that my 6 week surgical check up is Jan 20th, she said how 'bout we put you on the schedule Feb 2nd, and if you're back sooner, then great. She's also letting me go back 2 hours/day initially, then working up to FT probably in a couple of months. I am so appreciative of how flexible she is being for me, despite the fact the clinic is really losing money with me gone. I hope to make it up to her later!
My new year's eve plans includes the television and happy drugs
. I should be in lala land when the new year rings in!
New Years Eve Beach Chat, Dec 31
The restaurant was recently sold and the previous owner told me that the new owners weren’t planning any changes but it appears they are and it will impact me significantly. They are planning to do away with the uniforms I make and go toward black slacks and denim shirts for everyone. The order I had been working on was cut way back. On one hand I’m really disappointed because I started with that restaurant as a hostess back in 1987 and then waited tables there until 2001 when I moved up North. I started making their uniforms in 1999 and I’m really attached to the whole history and tradition of the place. I feel like the uniforms are a big piece of what people expect there. However, it does take up a huge amount of my time to make those uniforms and to be honest when you’ve made as many as I have it gets quite boring doing the same thing over and over. Maybe now I can concentrate on some fun sewing and putting some items in that Etsy shop I’ve wanted to open. Change is so hard! At least we don’t need the money so it’s not like we are going to starve.
I thought I stopped in this morning but I guess not 
I did start the day with an hour long work call (I know!) then made a yummy breakfast for DH and I (scrambled eggs with vegetables, smoked salmon, and chevre). We are having a relaxing day and toasting early because he works tomorrow so the alarm goes off at 5:30.
