Good afternoon, MMC friends! Hope you're all having a great day! I'm just getting some things done around the house, then later this afternoon, I'm cooking for dinner and going to do some baking. I'll check back in later.

I'm back from the meeting at the hospital. It sounds like the majority of their losses are stemming from the implementation of Obamacare. Apparently, not all hospitals are compensated equally by insurance companies, either. I learned a lot at the meeting, none of it good.

We still have a few fat-cats on the board, but we've always had that. It seems that they need to make it more visible that they are close to closing. If we can get more local people to use our small hospital for routine things, instead of running to Savannah, we might have a chance.

We'll see.

Fingers crossed for you guys, Brad.

Sounds like you had such a fun weekend! Glad you stayed safe in the storms. Sounds like what we got later last evening. Gracie is such a cutie. That is something Ella would do too.

It was fun!! Send Ella over - she will have a ball! :lol:

Love it!

Thanks! :smile:

It's so sad what's happening all over the country with health care! Many in our family are in health care - 4 RN's, 2 PA's (well 1 has a year of school left yet) a NP, a physical therapist, a PT assistant, & a speech pathologist. It's scary for all of them! I hope you all can get the hospital turned around. Good luck!!!

Hi Everyone!!
I am back, I have my own laptop now so I can get on here more often.
YAY!!!!:hi::sparkle::merry:

Yeah, shes back and does not have to use my computer any more !! Yeah!!
(not that ever minded you using it dear, just glad you have been blessed with your own now!)

 

[MerryCarey]

We had storms like that yesterday, with counties around me, with tornado warnings. Be safe, MerryCarey.

Thanks, I will!
We have a severe thunderstorm watch on until 8 p.m.
There was a tornado a little ways northeast of us this morning ... eek ...

Hey everyone!

Just a quick "I'm still alive" post. Unfortunately last week was very busy at work. We got the new office furniture and had to get used to have less work space (but the furniture is really nice). Besides this, there were some technical problems which kept me busy all week.

Now I'm on holidays in vienna. I had a blast the last two days and I'm hoping the rest of my stay will be just as great. All I can say is, you have to travel to Vienna one day. It's such a beautiful city with such an interesting history. And everyone here is very nice and friendly.

Anyway I hope to see you next week. It's my second week of holiday and I haven't much planed.

See you soon

Hi Cetacea!
Nice to see you!
Have a lovely holiday in Venice!!

 

[Christmasstar]

very short day at work, it has been awhile since I worked a short shift, it was nice.

Chilly day here, looks like more rain on the way.
Got the roast in the oven for supper and starting to smell good in here.

Finally got the new couch cover, the couch was good, just old looking, the cover makes it look great again.

Glad you had such a wonderful birthday! You scored on the Keepsake's!!

Happy Belated Birthday HMG! Glad to hear you had a good day!!! Keeping you & your daughter in my prayers this morning. Will be waiting to hear all is good!!! Good luck!

HMG - praying for your daughter. Hoping the surgery goes well/went well!

Thank you so much. The surgery went well, hopefully it will be a speedy recovery. We'll see what happens. My daughter took off from work for two weeks so she has plenty time to rest.
I am so exhausted. I was up with the dogs throughout the night because there were thunderstorms passing through. Hopefully tonight will be better. I just had a quick cup of coffee and read through the posts but I have to try and catch up with some chores and then get dinner started. I will pop back in later this evening. I hope everyone's well and is having a nice day so far!

Fingers crossed that they can find a way to keep it open!!

Good morning MMC! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend!

We had a fun Christmassy weekend at the lake! Friday night we went caroling to the neighbors trailers. :lol: Saturday we went to a festival where I bought my 1st Christmas presents for the year! YAY! Saturday night was our Christmas dinner & white elephant exchange. It went good, but there are always a few scrooges! Ah well! After the exchange, 5 of us girls went back to our trailer to watch Christmas Vacation!! One of the ladies (66 years old) has NEVER seen it before!! It was fun to watch it with someone who was seeing it for the 1st time!!

Yesterday we had some wild weather come through. We were eating breakfast outside at the neighbors (under their awning) when it started POURING & then hailing! But no damage that we know of. It rained off & on ALL day. I stayed at the lake all day with Gracie & my sisters dog who I was dog sitting for. Figured it would be a muddy mess at home! I watched 2 episodes of Little House on the Prairie Christmas, The Answer, The Gift, & part of The Joyful Hour. I was trying to get everything cleaned up, put away & head towards home before a wicked storm was coming last night...but I didn't make it! It was raining & blowing SO HARD I could barely see the lake. I couldn't pull up the weather on my phone, our dish went out - hubby wasn't answering his phone....and here I sat in a trailer!! BUT it went through & all was good. Just a few downed branches. Got home & Gracie definitely found the mud!!! She's going to be chained in the front yard until it dries up...or we'll move to the lake. What a mess!!!



Have a great day everyone!!!

What a very fun Christmasy weekend!!!

Sorry about the weather that caused some issues but I am sure the fun you had will make you forget about all that. Just glad you are all safe!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's supposed to be super hot today, then back down to the low-to-mid-90's for the rest of the week.

We had a good weekend. Friday I had such a "crick" in my neck, that I wound up with an awful headache, but it cleared up for the rest of the weekend. Yesterday afternoon I vacuumed the pool, then soaked for an hour. Ahhh.

Today at noon I'm going to a meeting at our local hospital. I think they're considering closing it, and I'm going to support it remaining open. My cardiologist told me that, if they hadn't stabilized me for transport to Savannah a couple years ago, I wouldn't have survived the trip. So, I have a vested interest in keeping the hospital open. I think their biggest problem is too many people on the admin staff with super-huge salaries. Oh well.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I hope the hospital will stay open. We can all protest with you to keep it open - they kept our friend alive!!!

Thank you so much. The surgery went well, hopefully it will be a speedy recovery. We'll see what happens. My daughter took off from work for two weeks so she has plenty time to rest.
