It is just a few hours before I go in for my "Neunasty" shot. This is definitely the "un-fun" part, but hopefully the LAST one!!! Have a great day, everyone. TTYL

Keeping you close in thoughts! I hope your last one goes better than expected & you can bust out of there & never have to deal with that again! Seems like just yesterday my brother went through it - that has been almost 2 years ago & (knocking on wood) he is cancer free & doing very well!!! I wish the same for you!!! :)

Howdy all!

Busy busy here! The first week in June was busy with the grandchildren. My mom and I took our grandchildren on a train trip to San Antonio and spent a few days at Seaworld. After that my grandsons were in day camp for 6 weeks so I just had my granddaughter full time while my daughter and son-in-law work. Then when day camp let out for the day, my grandsons would stay with me until their parents got off work.
I have been trying to keep up here but it's been a bit difficult. I will do my best! :D

Have a Merry Day my friends!!!

Good morning, Christmas family

UGH what a night !! I won't go into detail but I had GI "distress" last night. Up and down to the bathroom like a yo-yo. Today I feel washed out completely and I have no idea how I will ever get through my 12-9 shift today. All I want to do is be still and drink water. I will give it my best. Cross your fingers for me.......I will need all the good wishes and thoughts possible today !

I will hopefully be back later tonight to catch up on what I missed here today !

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Tuesday!

Work is insane right now, there's only two of us in my office today, and everybody wants something right now. Ahhh!

Just wanted to stop in & say hello. I needed a few minutes of sanity =]

Thinking of you all. Hope you have a lovely day!!

I am just so annoyed right now. I don't understand why professors always feel the need to have "group" projects.

I got partnered up with someone at the beginning of the semester in June. Mind you, this is an online class so I have no contact with him aside from the computer. During the first week of class, he didn't answer my email or my post in our team discussion forum. The second week of class, he dictated what work he was going to do and what I had to do. I did my part and it was correct, and his was all wrong. So throughout the entire semester, I suddenly stopped hearing from him and he wasn't doing his work. I had to fix his entire portion and do my own. There were 11 different financial analysis' for us to do in Excel - I had to do 9 of them while he did 2 (which still aren't done, mind you!) Then we have to type a massive paper summarizing these financial analysis' which is due tomorrow. I typed fourteen pages myself while he did nothing.

I am in the worst mood. It's not fair being stuck in a team with someone when they don't contribute. My teacher told me to "stick it out" - well gee, thanks. I don't want a bad grade so I have to do his stuff, too? On top of that we have quizzes, tests, homework, etc.

Now I am totally drained from doing that huge paper and I have a headache. Oy vey!
 
My apologies for not keeping up on here but I am trying. As I mentioned I have been busy and now I feel like I am coming down with something. Blah! So that means I am moving in slow motion today. I am sure I will be just fine. A good nights sleep will do the trick! :D

The good news is that my son-in-law ended up getting off early today so I am going to lie down for a bit because the rest of the week will be super busy.

I see you are feeling rough today, Caninemom. I hope you get well soon!
Happy 8 months to Hermoine!

Okay, little by little I will catch up on here. Got to get some rest right now.

I wondered the same thing when my daughter had to do that. Finally got an answer from my sister who is a university professor. She said that part of the lesson is learning to work with others just like you would in the working world. They want to see how you handle yourself with others that may not be easy to get along with.(and you will run into many situations like that in your working career) How do you deal with it? What strategies do you employ to make it work? What can you do next time to make sure every one pulls their weight? Etc, etc....so while it seems frustrating and unfair it is actually a really good lesson everyone needs to learn.

I'm sorry, Jennifer. That really stinks! I don't really know what to say, except that hopefully your Professor will see how much time & effort you put in, and grade accordingly! Best of luck to you, hang in there! Sending hugs =]

That really stinks, I hope you get a good grade on it. Put in a Christmas movie to help cheer you up.

Just think, you figured out how to do it as "independent together." cheesy
