Well, I haven't posted anything for a while so let me catch you up with our lives. Work has been on and off for me. Most weeks i don't get a full 40 hours in, but that's ok in this economy. I usually get 36 every week. Our plastic surgery case load is way down, just no money for the extra beauty work I guess. Still doing lots of urology and foot woork, but orthopedics is slow.
I have been busy knitting when I get home from work. Leroy doesn't get home till around 9 so that leaves me lots of time to watch tv and knit. I told myself i would't do more than one project at a time. Yeah, right! I now have 3 projects on needle. One almost done, one half done and one just starting. Can you say obsessed?
The weather has been somewhat muggy lately. Humidity around 40% and tem 100 or better. Saturday was much better. Temp 103 and humidity 12% Very nice. I went to knit club with Dale and found out one of our very good friends is in the process, actively, of becoming a grandparent again. She could hardly think, it was 36 hours into labor, mom in New York, and Mamie was almost beside herself. She emailed me a pic and news around 5pm saying all was well and the baby weighed 6#3oz. Mom is an executive producer for shows on the discovery channel and it's her first baby.
Dale and I went to lunch at TGI Friday's, love that place, then to bingo at Suncoast Casino and I actually won $30 before going, paid for bingo and then won $100. A good day. Leroy and I went to Letitia's Cocino for Mexican food, very good, then went to Santa Fe Station and I lost the money gambling, but hey, I had a good time. Home by 10:30 and fell asleep in the chair knitting, of course.
Don't know what is on tap for today, but steaks are ready for the grill and I haven't talked to the boys in about 3 weeks, so I'll make that call sometime today.
Monday it's back to work and I'm doing sedation for one of my favorite Dr. He's taken a position in Illinois, so will be leaving sometime in September or October. I know he's going to miss me. He loves me, and why not. I give him a hard time and he's actually fun to work with, now that he knows me. He can be a real a-hole too, but that's part of his charm I guess.
Leroy got groceries for me yesterday and did all the laundry, what a guy! All that so I could go and play with the girls on Saturday.
We found out this week that a new administrator has been hired, our last one was Atilla and enough of us complained to corporate that they finally fired her 3 months ago, the good news of that is that she left town, had been fired from every major health care facility in town, and moved to Portland. They can have her, I'm not moving there. Our turn over of help during her tenure was more than 50%, most of which she fired. I would have looked for other work, but was afraid she would get canned and show up at my new place of employment, so I stuck it out. Good thing too. Just goes to show that enough squeaks will get greased. So here's to Leann. Good luck, good bye and don't let the door slam you in the *&&.
Well, that's about all I have for this week. I would take pics of my knitting projects, but they are gifts for the girls. We are planning a trip home for the Holidays so Ihave to get them all knitted and I'm working on socks for myself. I should do some for my brother and his wife living in Alaska. It's their first winter there and I'm sure they could use something warm.
Talk to you all later. Kaye and Leroy.
