Good evening, MMC!

My goodness it was a long and hot day today! I left the house at 8 this morning to go to an estate sale and didn't get home until an hour or so ago. The estate sale is tomorrow ~ for some reason this week I have been a day ahead or a day behind every day. Anyhow, I ended up at a garage sale that I never would have gone to if the estate sale was open, and I found something for the store. It was a great price and I could make enough from it to make rent for the next 12 months - yay! So glad to be home, though. My back is still very sore ~ it is almost impossible for me to not lift my arm and stretch. I never realized how much I do that in the course of a day. Needless to say, it takes a lot longer to heal when I keep moving the muscle.

I have a lot to do yet tonight, including a few hours of work so I had best get going.

Have a MERRY evening!

:sparkle:

I'll also email you some work!!:lol:

I will get the Keurig going and join you and Binger. I will try! Are you emailing me some dishes to wash? Geeeze, I just don't get a break!

By the way, I have bought a variety pack of k-cups and hooked on all the bold flavors. I love very strong coffee!!!

No dishes. I'm just trying to fix that mistake I made.

Surgery for me tomorrow. I went to the doctor yesterday, he had a cancellation, and I am in!!!I should be home by early afternoon! Then I will get caught up on MMC.

I will keep you in my thoughts today. (I know it's a little late)

I never knew that! cheesy

Good morning fellow Christmas lovers! How is everyone today? I am well. Just drinkng my morning coffee and spending time with my DH and the kids. Nothing could be better!

Yesterday was a blast - we took the kids to an amusement park and they had a blast. Even at 1 year-old, DS had some rides that he could ride. By the time we could go home and had went for dinner, I had been up for 24 hours, but it was so worth it! I love times like that with my family.

Not much going on today (like normal - I like that!) I am going to make a banana nut bread, do some wash, and of course spend time with the kids. I am actually off until Sunday night, so I am so excited. It will give me a lot of time to spend with them and DH.

Well, off to read posts! I am behind on the Countdown! I will check back in later!

Glad to hear you had a great time, my wife has been making a Banana bread with chocolate chips in it lately. It has been great for a change of pace.

I had a horrible Christmas dream last night! In my dream I was sitting on the couch watching a TV show or a movie with my brother and when I turned to look at the Christmas tree it was completely bare. Then my brother said, "I can't believe it's Christmas Eve already" and our house had not one decoration in it!! I then turned to look out the window I saw people caroling across the street and we were the only house without lights on the street, we were the scrooges!

Talk about a nightmare lol. At least I know that'll never happen. My mom, brother, and I like Christmas far too much to ever forget about it!!

Lots of errands to run today - have a great day, everyone!!

That sounds more like a nightmare! cheesy

Hope you all have a great day!!

This is great !!! Hope she did well on her exams xoxo

Thanks Xmas! I just sent him a message, asking him, "How come if you want to listen to MMC radio via Live 365, that you have to be a vip member?"! So, hopefully he can provide an answer when he comes back to the forums....

I am sorry I was vague, CJ398 runs The Christmas Station.

Your welcome and I will continue to pray. I am sure it's so hard, on all of you. I feel for you guys, tremendously. Although I work in an acute care setting, I do have a patient everyonce in awhile, that is with us for a extended period of time, and you can truly see the toll it takes on the family. I think this the hardest part of my job. It takes a toll on me too. It affects me too. I become attached.

Thanks for updating us and if you need anything, don't hesitate.

I know what you mean.....I am not a doctor or skilled enough to be a nurse......But sometimes when I am typing a report (I type hospice and palliative care) it gets to me....I stop and sometimes touch the screen to pray for the patient and their family......xox

Good afternoon everyone!

It's suppose to be a little humid out today - even right now - however, the NW breeze is keeping it quite comfortable in my apartment. I'm sure it will warm up in an hour or so.

I had my first physio appointment yesterday. It went quite well. The physiotherapist was impressed with my self-diagnosis and progress on rehabilitating my patellar tendonitis. If all goes well, I should only require one more appointment - next wednesday - and then I may be able to practice the following week. At least, I'm hopeful for then... although it would be a real setback to have the inflammation return. The real downfall? We have a tournament this weekend in Rockford, Illinois. It will be my first missed tournament of the year. Still, I'm sure the guys will do well without me!

In regards to employment, I received a great phone call yesterday. A former colleague at Health Canada is switching departments at the beginning of September and they require someone to replace him immediately. Seeing as I left with 31 (working) days on my contract, they want me to come in and work the rest of my days. Awesome! It's full time for September and then three days a week until the beginning of November. Then, I believe they want me to return for a new (90 working day) contract in January. Hopefully that works out! It's tough to find work here, so I'll take whatever they can give me. The pay is decent, too! Obviously, I will continue searching for another job while employed there as well. You can never be too safe.

Not much is happening today. I've continued my job search to see if I can get any bites. Otherwise, I do have practice to attend tonight. Then, I will return to watch the rest of the preseason Packers game. I really enjoy watching preseason football!

I hope everyone is ready for the weekend. Another 'Pines Day has completed and we're all looking forward to the weekend. A weekend that will celebrate the 2/3 to Christmas Day milestone! How fantastic and exciting!

Have a wonderful Thursday, everyone! I hope you are all well.

I am glad to hear about the job for September.
