One of the newer cashiers at work - still temporary, they won't make decisions on permanent employees for about another month - is Emily. Emily is a very sweet girl around 20. Emily is also hearing impaired. She's not profoundly deaf. She can hear and converse 'normally' if the ambient sound in the area isn't too loud. If you're facing her she ( Read more... )

Not that all the hummingbirds that visit my balcony aren't Ruby Throated Hummingbirds but only the mature males have the actual red throat and until this morning I'd never seen one ( Read more... )

So here it is, just after 8:30 am and I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to my plasma appointment today. It was originally scheduled for 6:30 but then I pushed it back to 7:30 when I found out I had a library book on hold so I could go there right after. But then I started watching HGTV and Rehab Addict which I'm strangely addicted to even ( Read more... )

I officially started a week (9 days) of vacation when I clocked out at work at 7 am this morning. After a little bit of basic shopping I was on my way home. I drove within a block of Bio-Life Plasma and decided to drop in because I can never remember to call and get started again ( Read more... )

Since I only have one day off this week I'm determined to be lazy. I slept in all the way to 7:45 this morning! Considering I was asleep by 10 that's not too shabby for me.

On my post before I went to bed last night I asked for help with a computer problem - problem is no more! Many thanks and lots of love the

About a month ago when when had our little heat wave - in March! - I realized that my A/C wasn't working. No problem though, the cool weather was coming back. So for 2 weeks I didn't say anything when it wasn't fixed. I came home last week and realized someone had been working on it. I didn't bother to try it out because we were still having cool ( Read more... )

I pulled on whatever was lying around when I got out of bed this morning. Long chartreuse shorts, and aqua tee shirt and hot pink & purple stripped footies. Packed together with an awesome head of bed-hair and I can see more discerning people spazzing out with apoplectic seizures. Awesome ( Read more... )

Yesterday was gloriously slothful (although a little groggy). I didn't go to sleep until about 2:30 Sat. morning and then I was up by 8:30 so I was a little loopy all day. It's funny, if I only get 6 hours of sleep during the work week it's no big thing but on a day when I know I can go back to bed if I wish my body keeps reminding me of the fact ( Read more... )

I had my plasma appointment this morning and it actually went off without a single hitch for once. I didn't have to wait too long, I got a technician that I was familiar with and she hit the vein straight away without any probing around. I have big juicy veins and they aren't terribly deep, but they don't like to get stuck and have a tendency to ( Read more... )

Normally, by this time on my day off I'd be heading out the door for my plasma appointment. I usually set it at 10:30 am - late enough so that I can sleep in on my day off but early enough that I can actually have the bulk of the day afterwards to get things done. But it's 18 freaking degrees outside with a windchill of 7 and it's supposed to get ( Read more... )
