Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Goooood Morning! I am still exhausted and just not feeling to well. I slept terrible last night and woke up around 5:30 am. Even though I don't physically feel well I am mentally well! I just put on a Happy Smile!

There’s already a lot of communications checks as applies to public safety and transportation. I’ll probably be tuned in to online scanners before, during and shortly after the Super Bowl.

I don’t know, I’m just drawn to people behaving badly I guess.

Made, I wouldn’t be anywhere near anything Super Bowl related without a radio scanner!

Well you can tell the city is ready for the super bowl next weekend. There are cops everywhere and gas went up 50 cents a gallon today.

It is pretty cool. It looks like downtown Indy has been transformed. Everything is completely decked out. I'm still trying to decide if I want to go down there this week or not. There is no way I would try to drive down there but the city busses are all going to be free thursday through sunday so I may hop on one and head down. The news stations have all set up in the super bowl village and have been broadcasting from there the last couple of days. My facebook page has also been exploding with updates from all of the news stations. We have also been getting a special section in the newspaper everyday dedicated to the super bowl.

I LOVE that animated picture of Santa by the fire place! Where did you get it from?

I was just thinking the same thing. It made me wonder "I wonder what Santa would be doing right now..." And, of course, I think that image sums it up perfectly.

I had a little trouble sleeping last night but should make up for that tonight! I always hear winter can make you tired but it's the opposite for me. Summer drains me!!! It's just because where I live. Our summers are brutal and the winters are mild. We sometimes get some bitter cold weather but not often. I always feel better during the winter months versus summer.

I have less than 2 hours until I get off work. this has been the longest day I have had in a long time since I was up all night last night.I can't wait until I get home and am going to slide up under my covers and do some serious snoozin!!! Today is just beautiful. Temps are in the upper to mid 60's,tonight low around 40 so it will be a coolish drive on the way to work at 6 am in the morning! Well I bettter get back to work. Have a great afternoon everyone!

Good afternoon, everybody! It's been a busy day here at the doctor's office. Everyone is coming in with this horrible cold with a cough that sounds like their lungs are going to come out any second. Hope all of you are being careful to wash hands, etc. when you've been around other people. You don't want to catch this! One unfortunate patient has had it for nearly three weeks now. It's just nasty. The best thing to soothe this nasty cough (besides meds from your doctor) seems to be hot tea with plenty of lemon and honey. And if you decide to put anything else in it, I won't tell! :wink:

Still feeling quite blah, still really don't want to eat anything.

I hope you feel better soon too!!!!!!

 

[made582]

Its Monday and its my day off.

I hope you are enjoying your day off!!!!!!

 

[made582]

I am just glad its resolved.!!!

I'm glad you got it all taken care of!!!!!

 

[made582]

Well. The reason is because work decided instead of us being able to choose our shift they just gave us one. I havent had to work a weekend for 6 years at my job till now. I have sunday and mondays off. Its not bad but Id rather have my weekends totally off.

I use to have that same schedule when I worked for freightliner. I didn't like it at first but I got use to it. I got off at 2pm so that helped too since most of my friends were just getting out of bed at that time.

I KNEW there was a post I forgot to reply to: MC, farm out your work to us and we can help you get caught up and stay caught up so you can relax!!!

That's the best offer I've had all day, including last week!! That offer really helps to cheer me up. Temporarily I'm caught up (that's why I'm peeking in here just now), but I may take you up on that later ...

I ALWAYS say, "Go to the source." Don't go to others; go to the one with whom you have a difference of opinion. When you go to others, you really don't want a solution; you want sympathy.

Perceptively said!

Oh, how I miss you all! I have had some computer issues (aka my little guy SNAPPED THE HINGES ON MY LAPTOP!!! Now I have to prop it up with a pillow, lol! And our wifi stopped working for awhile, but we're good now!) and I've missed you all!! I can't believe Christmas was over a month ago...and I STILL have my fake tree up in my bedroom! (And my year-round tiny tree is staying up!) When we were driving home from my grandmom's last night, we saw about 10 houses with lights on still! And one house still had a large tree inside, all lit up! It made me sooo happy!

I hope everyone is doing well!! There's no way I can catch up all on the posts I've missed but know I think of you all often!

It's good to see you back. Heck, it's ALWAYS good to see you!

MerryCarey: I hope today is an awesome day for you!!!

It isn't awesome yet, but thanks to you folks, it's definitely improving!

As we near the end of January, I am pleased to report there are at least 5-6 houses in our neighborhood that still have Christmas decorations up!
Makes me feel good to see them each morning when I walk the dog.

Across the street from our office building is a home with a big lighted wreath attached to the front of the house, and they also have BUON NATALE spelled out in Christmas lights on their hedge! I see them when I leave the parking lot, and they give me a smile.

Good morning,


Still feeling quite blah, still really don't want to eat anything.

Try to eat something anyway to keep your strength up. Eat anything you have an appetite for, and worry about proper nutrition later. "Eat, Papa, eat!"

Well, just like that lunch is over, but there is just enough time left for me to brew a cup of chocolate chai tea

Have a MERRRY day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I get some of that chocolate chai tea?? That sounds yummy (and relaxing)! Is it something you can buy, or is it a recipe? I needed some comfort food after last week, so I got a bottle of Cocoa Metro ... mmmmmmm. It's packed with calories, so I don't buy it regularly. It makes wonderful hot chocolate if you warm it up.

Just getting home and eating a brownie...I never knew brownie's could give a person heartburn but I have had heartburn nonstop since sat...I guess it's the oil in them.? I have proabbly gained 5 pounds from eating the last 3 days and I need to put on some weight though..lol Not much planned for this afternoon,wash my work uniforms but that is it...so glad monday is over with...I can't wait to get January over with too..just one more day!
