LAE

*it has been getting colder - for San Diego anyway -
*I have had a sinus infection that started on the right side, head ache pressure watery eye stuffy
nose. That lasted a few days and then switched to the left side which was not as bad. Thank
goodness for the liquid Tylenol PM cold with cool burst :)
*5 office co-workers were laid off - due to this awful economy.
*There was a meeting at work to let us know that there should not be any more lay offs and that
the board of directors and executives have found other ways to cut costs and that 2009 looks
promising - I guess we will see.
*I saw the movie Taken. It was great. Suspenseful and enough action to keep you wanting more.
*Sarah and I were too "loud" during the previews and a couple in front of us moved to the rear of the theater - excuse us!
*I finished the 3rd book of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. there are some mean vampires in this
series.
*I am even more lost during Lost.
I am now wondering if indeed Izzy and George are leaving Greys Anatomy. Cause that would really suck! I am going to go finish packing - I am leaving for the desert after work tomorrow.
Then I am taking a hot bubble bath and starting the 4th book of the series.................................

Ugh! I do not feel good and I do not feel like doing anything!

SO I am off of work today... I am calling it a mental health day! Actually I took yesterday and today off of work because my mom had surgery yesterday and she was scheduled to stay the night in the hospital but they let her go home last night. So I am just going to enjoy my day and in a little while I am meeting Sarah and Andrew at Chili's for lunch and then I might hit up the 2 story Target at Grossmont center. My mom had to have a tumor removed from her thyroid. I guess this thing was sucking the calcium from her bones and displacing it in her blood stream. We checked into the hospital at 8:30 AM and did not get to leave until 6:30 PM. It was a long day for me just sitting around, thank goodness for my ipod and a good book. I guess it was a lot harder for my mom - I should not complain :) She was so nervous about them cutting the front of her neck. When I spoke with the DR afterwards he told me that when she went into the operating room that her blood calcium level was at 168, anything over 80 is red flagged as extremly dangerous, as soon as they removed the tumor her levels dropped to 28. Which is a huge difference, but because her levels returned to normal so quickly they let her go home. A few weeks ago there was a patient on my fav show Greys Antatomy that had the same thing done and it showed Dr McSteamy cutting the patients neck - I told my mom to be sure and not watch that epsiode.......
Ok, well I am going to go and take a nice long hot shower and start my mental health day..... Then it is back to the grind tomorrow!

getting ready to start traffic school online.
What a fabulous way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

I have to be quick cause I am currently at work. So far the day has gone by quite slow. I have 10 large trash cans full of plans that I need to archive. I have been putting it off forever but the warehouse is starting to slowly fill up. I figured this would be a good day because it is quite at the office and it is rainy so there is not much going on. I have to put an ID# on each set of plans and then pack them in boxes and place a barcode on the boxes and then call an outside company that will come and pick them up for storage. So far I have emptied 4 cans and packed 10 boxes. I just came back across the street to check my email and I decided to do a quick blog to break up the boredom and I had my phone with me so why not snap a few pics...

The only nice thing about archiving is that I am usually the only person in the small warehouse and I can crank up the radio to help pass the time. Ok back to work - 45 more minutes until lunch time......

What I began with -

The end result -

For Christmas I received a Flip video camera. It is a digital video camera that fits in your purse or pocket. I took my first video when my brother came over last weekend for his birthday to open his gifts and we had a bbq. The video ended up being about my dog Jessjess opening her own gift.

This week was a little hectic. It was busy at working doing year end crap, we had to close the books on 2008. I have been fighting a cold that seems to be going around. I thought I made it through without being sick, but it found me. I started a diet, which is new for me and very hard. there are 22 of us at work that are doing are own version of biggest loser, we each $20 to a pot that will be awarded to the biggest losers on March 30th. I came in 6th place dor our first weigh in on monday. We will see what this monday brings.

I just received my notice for traffic school in the mail today. At least I can do it from home on the computer. But the ticket price was ridiculous, $229 for going straight in a right hand turn lane that I did not even see. I have not looked at how much the school is going to be. For that price I should have drove back to El Centro and fought it!
