Good morning, friends! It's been quite sometime since I've posted in the countdown and I haven't posted much on MMC. I've been pretty busy lately though. It's going to be that way for a few months, so I'm not sure how long I'll be "away", but I do need to get back in the habit and try to check in at least daily on my phone.
A week or so back, I accepted a new job. Officially on November 15th, I'll be a nurse in the ER and ICU. I love working as an OB nurse, but I wanted to expand my horizons and this will for sure. I occasionally work in these departments and love it. I'll still work on OB on my weekends, until May and then one of my co-workers is leaving, so I'll be working in the ER and ICU all the time. I have three different certification test to take over the next few months and will be studying for those, plus have a lot to do for orientation, so a long with all of that and of course my busy schedule with my kids, I just haven't been able to stop in like I would like to.
This is my weekend off, so I intend to read a little today, as we sit and watch some spooky cartoons! Hope all is well with you guys! I think of you all often and pray for you all as well! Miss you all! God Bless!

Merry Saturday all.
It's Saturday! My favourite day of the week! I am in my fluffy bear onsie and I plan on staying in it for the rest of the day! My throat is slightly swollen and scratchy, I am achy and lightheaded. I seem to get over one bug and move straight into some other. Things have been non stop and my husband thinks I'm pushing myself to much. So today I think I need to catch up on rest especially as I am in work tomorrow.
What have you got planned? Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with all of your favourite things!

Oh forgot to mention Mr Festive brought the biggest pumpkin yesterday!
Good morning, Festive! Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Hope the rest will help you and that you feel better soon!
Merry Saturday all.

We are going through the same thing FS--I'm missing my morning run due to a swollen scratchy throat...and I was JUST sick last week. It's been a stressful season at work, and I know my body is telling me I'm not taking care of it...time to drink some tea and rest up! I work tomorrow as well!
I'm doing some cooking and food shopping today, and hopefully a little cleaning if I can get up and feel okay. Lots of resting for sure is on for today! I want to get back to running Monday!
Have a wonderful evening! Also-would love to see that picture!

Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes! We don't usually make much of a fuss about anniversaries because EVERY day we're glad we got married.
Wish me some luck, please ... I have a "check engine" light and no one can look at it until next week. Caught the service dept. last night just before they closed, and they said not to worry unless it starts flashing. I'm already worrying, even though we've had false warnings before. They always tell me to make sure the gas cap is tight, so the light IS sensitive. Still ... must do a good bit of driving today.
My apologies..."other stuff" should be ahead of work on that list.I think you have work too high on the list.
Good moning Saturday!
We had "Autumn vacation" the last week
so it will be good for the kids to go back to school on Monday
(and for us....haha)
Cold weather here, but no sign of snow just jet..
But we usually have the first snowfall in October
Hope everyone is doing fine
And are doing something Christmassy to day!
Hi Solace! Am listening to Christmas music today to be Christmasy! Hope you're having a merry evening!
Good morning!
Happy Saturday!
Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!
HAPPY SATURDAY HMG! Hope you have a phenomenal day!
It's everyone's favorite day of the week I do believeMerry Saturday all.

. Have a good one festive.
Same to you HMG! Looks like a beautiful weekend huh?
You'd have to go all "Rocky" on them if they blocked MMC.Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!
My MMC/computer woes are apparently caused by our network at work, because I'm having no trouble posting from home on my work laptop. I don't know what's causing the delay at work, but at least they haven't blocked MMC. It would be clobberin' time!
My brother called last night to say that a guy came to his shop while he was tuning up the engine in the Camaro yesterday. The guy was so impressed with the engine that he offered a LARGE sum of money for it. Just the engine. Jim said it was so much money, we could build another, stronger engine and have a lot of money to spare. I told him the make the deal! I'm going over to talk it over with him today.
I hope y'all have a great day!
I haven't had oreos in forever. I'm more into ice cream or a donut sometimes. How do they taste?
I think 60-70% of the time that light comes on...it means nothing. My mechanic told me it usually means nothing. It's just a pain to get off to pass inspection.

Wow! Love when those surprises happen.
Have a wonderful day Brad!!
Wonderful to see you-we've missed you around here! Congrats on the new job! My husband is an inpatient chaplain with a health system in the area. You'll definitely be stretched for sure, and I'm glad! They'll be lucky to have you!
Hope you enjoy your reading and cartoons today-sounds like a blast!
Good morning, Edge!
Happy Saturday!
Good Morning MMC!
I'm in the same boat as Festive this morning...scratchy throat and feeling yucky-AGAIN. I think I never got over the first thing and I'm just feeling gross. I'm missing my Saturday morning run, which makes me sad, but what can you do? I'm declaring this week the week of self-care--can't take care of others unless we take care of ourselves! Hot tea, crockpot warm meals, and relaxation are on for today and all this week, with lots of fun Halloween and fall and Christmas music and activities in there! A recipe for healing if I ever heard one!
Hope you all are well! Thinking of you today! Have a great Saturday!

Good Saturday morning MMC. It's currently 47 degrees under partly sunny skies in the suburbs of NY. Chilly but hey it's October. Feels like it should. We are expecting a high of 63 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Perfect fall weather (although a little coolish for me but I'm enjoying the 60s). How's everyone feeling as they wake up to their weekend? I love reading MMC during the week and posting but it's definitely even more fun on a weekend or day off to sit here relaxed having breakfast reading all these great posts from these great people.
Today I am gonna do my normal stuff (after all I do have some form of OCD, but don't most people haha) and I'm going to meet up with a friend at the park. She wants to go "walking." Since I started my running streak over 2 years ago I still enjoy going for a walk sometimes. We always talk about work, life, school, family, and stuff. She's one of the coolest people I ever met. I met a lot of people "online" back when I was in my late 20s-early 30s but very few ever stuck. For some reason we just became pretty good friends. She seems to accept me for me...I don't know why lol. Oh yeah and tonight dinner will be homemade pizza. Life ain't so bad huh?
Hope all of you great people here have a great Saturday. Enjoy it. We worked all week for today didn't we?
