Christmas Countdown - 2015

[xmastidings]

Good Morning. Kinda of dreary around these parts this morning. Yesterday, we had some pretty good thunderstoms come down out of Pennsylvania and clobbered us here around dinner time. This morning it's this wet, misty, dreary, gray kind of a morning look outside. I'm waiting right now for the coffee maker to finish brewing at the moment and then grab a little something to eat....

I going to make a couple of trips to the scrap yard this morning, do some organizing in the garage and just hanging around the house doing odds and ends. Hope you all have a nice weekend and enjoy the rest of your day.

Enjoy your Saturday!
The walk in the park with your friend sounds wonderful. Hope you have a relaxing Autumn day!

Yeah the walk is even nicer with this type of weather. Really perfect for it. Enjoy your Saturday too.

Thank you - I've missed you guys for sure!

Thanks for the congrats as well! It is a very exciting time for me - I'll be fully trained in every aspect of nursing at our hospital (except for the operating room/recovery room), which I think is great. God Bless your husband - a chaplain is a blessing in my eyes.

I love the weekends with my kids!!!

Have a good weekend Sugar with your kids!

Thanks!!!
God Bless you guys

Sugar......It's always great to hear from you! Congrats on the new job there; my mrs works in the ER lab a couple days a week and she tells me that the people coming into the Er can make it very interesting at times. I hope it goes well.....

Great to see you, Xmastidings! I think that's the thing I like most about the ER - I never know what's going to come through the door and that makes it very exciting. Thank you! Fingers crossed it will go great and I'll love it!

Hope all is well with you and your family!

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!

Congrats on the new job! Good luck with it!

I haven't had oreos in forever. I'm more into ice cream or a donut sometimes. How do they taste?

They're just what I wanted! I only allow myself to have them on Saturday & Sunday morning, so I always look forward to them.

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!

You're under the weather, too? I'm so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!

Hey Snowflake - good to see you, too! How are things? How is sweet Harlowe?

Thank you! I am very excited!
Thanks!!!
God Bless you guys

Hi sugar!
Things are going pretty well, thanks~ we are spending a lot of time with Ken in Tomah, he has been in and out of the hospital.
Harlowe has been sick lately, so we are keeping a close eye on her and giving our sweetie lots of TLC.
My parents came up for a visit a few weeks ago, so we had a nice time with them-hit a winery, did some shopping, played board games, cooked and ate a lot, etc.
And one of my best friends just moved back to the Midwest, so we've been catching up with her too.
Real estate is going great. Very busy, but exciting too.

How about you, and your family?

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?

That's almost perfect weather! It's supposed to rain all day today, with a high in the low 80's. Ugh.

Enjoy the walk!

 

[xmastidings]

Thanks ... I think you're right. Hoping the odds are in my favor this time!

I hope they are as well. Your too much of a sweet person to have bad things happen to.

He loves getting to spend time with the staff and nurses--you all work HARD and are amazing at what you do! We think YOU are a blessing as well! (I'm a chaplain in a continuing care retirement community).

Thanks Brad-second time this week. It's been a stressful one and I haven't taken the best care of myself! Starting back on good care today!

Good morning, friends ~
Merry Saturday!
I love "sleeping in" and relaxing while enjoying my coffee.
We plan to head to the pumpkin patch & corn maze later today. Going to be gorgeous outside!
Hope you all have a blessed Autumn day~
