I'm sorry for everything sweetie and will keep everyone in my prayers.

I'm keeping you in my prayers too because you have to hear and deal with everything.

Glad things are going well for you at work now though. You certainly deserve something going well with as much as you put up with, with your boss' mom. Sorry to hear about her fall though.

Sounds like things are going okay with the house though. Oh speaking of which, can you pm me your addy?

I sent you a PM. The house is fantastic!!!! My gardens are doing great.

As if our office doesn't have enough to deal with....my boss was kicked by a colt this afternoon and it left him with a broken right elbow. He has an appointment tomorrow to see if they will just cast it or if he will need surgery to place a screw into it.

Triple Threat · 07-18-2007, 05:27 PM

There's some bad karma floating around that office of yours.

Things have just got to start getting better soon.

Yes there is certainly some bad karma at our office. That or thre is a huge black cloud hanging over us.

My boss is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. They said they plan to wire his elbow back together. Can we say OUCH? Atleast the boss is planning to either take off work or work only in the office for the next 2 weeks.

I will be taking the last week of July off to spend with my family. The family will be arriving on saturday

In other news...no gym all week, but I did make it there yesterday. I worked chest and cardio. I've lost sooo much strength

However, after 60 minutes on the tradmill, I knocked out just over 4 miles.

Today I opted to skip the gym and instead did yard work. Mowed the grass, weed eated, weeded my flower beds, mulched a few more flower beds and rebuilt a stone wall around one of the beds. Of course rebuilding the wall involved lugging stones across my yard. No need to hit the gym afte sweating my butt off outside.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Thanks DB. It should eb a good visit. Atleast they will be bringing me some things from NJ that I want for my house. Plus they are bringing me some things I can't get here such as the all important breakfat food...Pork Roll.

I've been craving pork roll and can not get it here at all.

I should have also mentioned our client's son is till in critical condition. He went through a second surgery on his spine and they took him to surgery to perform a tracheotomy. He is still very dependant on the respirator. He is alsohaving issues with his heart now. He is an athlete so he has a naturally low heart rate, but now his heart rate is dropping dangerously low and has even dropped to zero atleast once. Every time his heart rate drops they have to give him atropine to get it back up and on atleat one occassion they had to give him epinephrine after the atropine. We are very worried about him. I keep thinking about one of our members that has a journal here titled somethng about Wheelchair...Nothng is Impossible. He is paralyzed and competes which gives me hope that our client's son can recover and have a life.

I have to try and see the funnier side of things. It's the only way to survive.

Pork roll? Is that like pork on a biscuit, or an egg roll type thing?

LOL neither.

Quote:

Taylor Ham is a type of sausage-like pork product made from ham, developed by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey late in the 19th century. It is often called pork roll due to the "roll" or tube-like sack in which it is traditionally packaged....Pork roll generally comes in one-, three-, and six-pound sizes, as well as six-ounce boxes containing eight single-thickness slices or four double-thickness slices. The product is seldom available for retail or restaurant sale outside of New Jersey and adjoining areas like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In Florida and South Carolina, it is available at Publix's supermarkets, Albertsons in Colorado, Harris Teeter in North Carolina, Byerly's in Minnesota, Wegman's throughout the Northeast and De Laurenti's in Seattle but not many other locations outside of New Jersey. However, there are marketers selling pork roll on the internet and shipping it around the United States.

That's a description from Wikipedia. It's kinda a cross between ham and canadian bacon. It's really good and one of the few things I mss from NJ. The other thing I miss from NJ are the "Dinners" owned by Greek families. Restaurants where you can get breakfast 24/7 inaddition to sandwiches and regular meals.

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Sounds GOOD!!!

Hope all is well Sister Devlin!!!

katt · 07-25-2007, 07:46 PM

On another note - bisquits & gravy

Hey cut me a little slack...on top of everything that is going on my boss has been a huge grump. Then of course I got an emergency call this morning during a severe thunderstorm, one of our farms had two one year old thoroughbreds get hit with lightening and it was believed both were dead. Plus they thought others may be injuried since the two were in a group of 7 when they got struck. Boss and I headed out in the storm to the farm. Sure enough the two horses were dead.

One had a leather halter that had brass rings on it blown off its head. The halter was in pieces and the some of the pieces were found up to 50 feet away from the horse. One other horse was knocked off its feet by the lightening strike, but after checking it out, appeared not to be injured (amazingly). The remaining horses from the group were not injured, but very skittish. Everyone on the farm was pretty upset as they saw the lightening hit the horses and these horses are like their kids.

Then of course my parents and sister are arriving from NJ tomorrow evening.

Devlin · 08-03-2007, 06:47 AM

Well I survived a week with my family staying with me and doing improvements on my house. I now have custom closet organizers in my closets, new lights in my bathroom and hallwall, new towel racks in the bathroom, my dad was able to relocate some light switches so they are in easier places to reach/use, we hung pictures and my washer/dryer was installed. My house feels a lot more like home. However, my sister was organizing things for me and now it will take me who knows how long to find everything

Burner02 · 08-03-2007, 09:20 AM

sorry to hear about the horses...
Sounds like your home is certainly shaping up though!
You're gonna have to post pictures!

Thanks. Yes the house is really becoming a home. My sister designed and installed organizers in my bedroom closet, the spare room closet and a shelving unit for my washer/dryer area. Retail value of the organizers...about$600

I'm loving having a washer/dryer at home now. It makes doing laundry so much easier. I was hoping to get individual switches in the bathroom for the light and fan. I did get that and I also got new lights over the vanity with their own switch

My family kept trying to turn on my kitchen light when the first walked into my kitchen and it didn't work since the switch is all the way on the other side of the kitchen. So my dad decided to fix that and installed a switch where it should be. Now I can turn on the kitchen light from either side of the kitchen

My sister being the oganizer and decorator that she is...she reorganized more than I ever expected, plus she helped me hang pictures which really make my house feel like a home. Looking at my house it doesn't look like we did a lot, but in reality we did.

In other news....I've been to the gym yesterday and today. To my surprise, when I stepped on the scale yesterday I only weighed 125

Now if I can drop 5-10 pounds and get my muscle tone back I will be thrilled I've lost so much tone and strength it's not funny. On the up side, I've been able to jog atleast 10 minutes on the treadmill and keep my heart rate around a max of 165.
