hardly working

have finished two books at work since I last posted. things aren't picking up yet and they have given us extra little jobs to do.  oh well.

not much going on. Albert is keeping on keeping on.  got an infection thanks to the chemo, so he's on antibiotics again.  I'm not sure if he'll get his next treatment this week or not, his white cell count was a little low and I'm guessing the infection won't help.

I did exercise two days this week, so that's good, I guess. Need to really bump it up, so maybe we'll go for three days this week. woo7!

Already got some birthday presents from RTO, some musical cd's and a lamp for work and a couple mugs. Apparently there's something else really entertaining on it's way.

Got an appointment with the therapist I asked for. we'll see how that goes in a couple weeks.

not to five yet

I've got four books on the reading list so far.  If things continue as they have at work I may get the fifth read this week.

A bit has happened with Albert since I last posted. He's been diagnosed with cancer and had his first chemo treatment.  We aren't looking for a cure, there isn't one for his kind of cancer, but hoping to give him a good life while it lasts. which is probably a few months.

Everyone else is doing well.  I've called a clinic about a therapist, but haven't heard back from them so I'll be calling back this week. maybe that isn't a good sign. but we had a hard time finding someone that would accept our insurance. maybe they're mostly like my Dallas therapist and they don't accept any insurance at all, but then they don't advertise much either.

RTO has gone to a Ted Cruz rally this afternoon, our primary is Tuesday. I checked online to find out where our polling place was and panicked a moment because it couldn't find my registration.  I just entered the wrong month, fixed it and found the polling place. Will be glad when the commercials move on to some other states.

so about a month between posts. yay!

I've actually finished 2 books since last I posted, but with using the tablet, it's not very convenient to post.  Work is finally picking up for the new year. no more trying to stretch out what should take an hour into half the day.  haven't exercised much the last couple weeks. getting up early for it is kinda hard and I seem to need more sleep than I'm getting, which is kinda discouraging. 

Albert has not been doing well the last few weeks, we've tried giving him eye drops and antibiotics and steroids and his eye just keeps looking worse.  So we're getting referred to a specialist.  Hoping things will move tomorrow on that front cause he's getting really pathetic. He doesn't act like it bothers him really , but his sniffling is getting bad. Like, I don't know how he sleeps bad.

everyone else is fine, I suppose I may or may not be. a little disturbed that I cratered this week while RTO was gone and then it all came out at the psychiatrist's office.  so I'm going back in a month and I probably need to find a therapist. just don't see how that fits in with working and sleeping and eating.

New year old blog

sure if I'll post much this year what with work and all. Trying out a new tablet. It's a bit clunky but then I got what I paid for I think.   Anyhoo it's our slow time at work so I'm just sorting through files to be scanned. Would think with the way things work we should be picking up this week. 
Critters are all good. I've stopped walking for a while until my heel feels normal. So I'm stationary biking. 
just one book down so far and I've been avoiding the Smithsonian mag for a few days.  Not finished with the George Elliot collection I started last year. Made I through all her novels and short stories and non fiction articles. Only poetry and some bios left but it says I'm only 64%of the way through. Ugh.

where doest his go?

been unpacking the house all day.  got the office fairly organized and got lucky cats out of boxes.  anyway, still working quite a bit, ended up taking a day off last week cause I was worn out. Saw Diana Krall in concert last week, it was good. Turkey day is coming and we're having people come here because I have to work the day after. yippee!

just so you have an idea...

If you had told me a couple months ago I'd be working 60 hours one week and go into the office on a weekend, I would have laughed in your face.  but I still kinda like my job.
