Tuesday chatting from Cancun

Repeat after me " OHMMMMMM!" :)

Glad to hear you are emjoying the sun. I am jealous.

I have not been sleeping well lately and it is starting to frustrate me. My ears are stressing me out which is the root of my insomnia problem. My right ear feels fine but there is something very wrong with my left ear and it is driving me batty. So, I might be calling the doc today. He said we have to wait and see but I need some reassurance that he is hearing what I am telling him and some guidance as to how to deal with the noise in my head and discomfort in my ear. Like I was to rip the tube out.

Anyway, time to hit the shower so I can start the work day.

 I'm imagining the sun right now.....cloudy and rainy here today.  That's ok, we need a bit of rain.  Plus, it'll keep me inside to get some stuff done around the house :)

The long weekend was nice.  Back to the grind today.  Knock on wood, I SHOULD be able to get caught up on some paperwork.  That would be nice.  It's kinda growing into a mountain at this point...

Keep them from killing each other Karen. lol  Glad you're having some fun and I'm really glad to hear that Bugs and your mom are doing ok.  We've got plenty of heat and sunshine here so not jealous of that part. lol  I am enjoying your pics on FB.

Julie, sorry your one ear is giving you so much trouble.  Hope the call to the doc is helpful.

DH brought me to work this morning.  That was a fun ride.  Not.  I really miss having my vehicle and hope they call today.  They hadn't even had a chance to look at it on Friday.

Hopefully we can pick a tile installer this week. 

Survived the wedding reception - it was nice to see old friends, but it's tiresome being asked 4000 times why I'm not remarried myself. Because Richard Gere is not available, that's why.

Track was sort of busy this weekend and tips were decent. One of the other tellers ended up being taken to the hospital midway through the day Saturday with a sudden severe headache and vomiting. Come to find out she has a brain aneurysm, but it hadn't ruptured. Thank God the EMTs had the good sense to take her in - saved her life.  She's only 55.

Caught up on housework and cleaned, washed & waxed my truck yesterday.

Speaking of trucks, Jackie, I hope you get yours back soon.

Love, love, love your new siggy, Jackie !!!

 I cannot wait for this day to be over. I got bitten this morning by a kid, and I am waiting for my stupid doctor's office to call me back and let me know when I last had a tetanus shot. It's been 40 minutes. which I think is ridiculous. Am I being impatient?

If I am taking Luke over to visit today, I need to get off my butt in the next five minutes. I'd love to know if I need to go get a shot before I go, but I suppose I won't. 

A client just google messaged me. I need to shut that off. Umm... no, we don't chat. You can call, you can email, you can text, but we don't chat. I told him his kid didn't start school until Thursday when we scheduled for this week. I asked if he wanted to schedule for tomorrow. He thought he went to school on Wednesday. He has realized now that I am correct. Had you checked the schedule when I told you the kid started on Thursday, I would have done it, but now I'm not. Because right now I am feeling pissed off about the parent who gave me the sick kid who bit me this morning, and I am not feeling like doing extra work.

I can't believe people would ask that. I have quite a few single friends and they all appear to be enjoying life very much. I have a few married friends who would probably prefer being single.

Karen - I'm so glad that Bugsy and your mom are doing well. I'm thinking good vibes for the wedding.

Julie - I'm sorry your ear is still bothering you and hope the dr. can reassure you or do something to help.

Hot and sunny here too. I think we're in the mid 90s for the next several days. Fortunately, the mornings are nice and cool.

I'll have an office full of coworkers again today in preparation for our Board mtg tomorrow. As usual, I'll be super glad when the meeting is over.

 I hate that "why are you not married" question. Why don't people just come right out and say "what is wrong with you?" Give me a break!

Oh yeah, I get this all the time. I guess a woman isn't complete without a man. Really? This is the 21st century after all.

ETA: Julie, yep, I often respond that it's because I'm such a bitch. LOL

It's about as rude as asking married people why they don't have kids yet.

Jen, I don't think you're at risk from a human bite.  The spores that cause tetanus live in the soil but best to ask a medical professional which I'm not. 

Because I recently punctured my foot and had a tetanus shot, I can tell you that any puncture wound, whether it is a rusty nail, an animal bite, or a human bite is treated the same - you get a tetanus shot if your last has been more than 10 years ago. However, the shot you get today won't stop you from developing tetanus from this puncture wound; it is protection for the future, like any immunizations we get for us or our pets. You'll likely be given a course of antibiotics to prevent infection for the current bite wound.

I do, too!  I used to get the "Why no kids?" question.  Eventually the question stopped because people finally accepted that I wasn't changing my mind.  Or maybe it was because I got too old and there was no reason for the question anymore! 

Jackie, my advice would be to get the best tile installer you can find, based on recommendations from people you know and trust.  The installer who did the tile for our back entry and fireplace was very new to the company where we got our carpet (they do flooring, counters, window treatments, etc.).  It turns out he was not good -- disorganized, very sloppy, and apparently not very experienced with using black grout.  He was at our house 3 times, including one night until nealry 11pm (and that was after we starting helping him!).  Because it was such a small area, we'll live with the results, but if it was a whole room or floor, we would've made a big issue out of it.

It's a good thing I'm not a Facebook user.  If I had to see Karen's photos of Cancun, I'd be even more unmotivated to do the work on my desk than I already am this morning!  I could've used another day off!

My last shot was within 10 years, so I'm okay on that end. They didn't even ask what I was asking that for. My sister said keep it clean and watch for signs of infection. I of course gritted my teeth in pain and made that kid do what I asked him to do. If you want to get out of work for biting me, you have to try harder than that (not serious). Parents, I know your kids well enough after a year (for him) or more for all the others that I can tell when you have given me a sick child to work with. Luckily for now, everyone leaves me alone about my lack of a boyfriend, and I don't get any questions about kids yet. I plan on doing neither at the moment. My client for tonight is cancelled. What should I do? I could go walking, I could take Luke to open gym for weight pulling, but it's far to drive for how short he'll be in for, and he'll go On Thursday after Callie's class. Or, I could sit around and do nothing. That is looking appealing.
