12/5/09 -- DUMMY -- The Cruise Your Heart Desires Most ; )

[cruisin'Mike]

As some of you may remember,I was having some trouble with the "Powers That Be" dowtown and my being off with my broken wing. I was told that I needed to find some people to donate some sick days to me. We went to our Principal and she was all set to give me some of hers but was told that since I'm considered "Support Staff" she couldn't. That meant other kitchen staff(fat chance,besides my boss/friend) and the custodians. The other requirement was, that the donor had to have at least 30 days in the "bank" after donation,before they'd allow it. That cuts a mess of people out!
My manager suggested asking our night custodian as he had had said one time that he had tons of sick time. Well I not only did that, but I talked to our daytime custodian and he asked me how many days I was going to need. I figured at least 20 days,because the Holiday Break doesn't count against me. He told me to give him the form to fill out and bless his heart...he gave 10 days!! When I talked to Mr. Warren(night guy) he did the exact same thing as Mr. Clark,10 days! I could have cried (my boss did).

So anyways, the boss drove me downtown with my paperwork,she looked it over and I'm now all set. I'll get my checks and I'm approved to be off until the 20th of Jan. I should be close to 100% by then...I hope.

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I know it really helped. It just might be a nice Christmas for me afterall!

Debi, that's awesome!!! What a great early Christmas present! I got goose bumps when I read that. It's nice to read about good things happening to good people. I'm sure that's a huge weight off your shoulders.

And I believe that what goes around comes around, so I'm sure that something nice will be in Mr. Warren's and Mr. Clark's futures too.

Oh carp.....time to get one of those baby locks for the fridge....

I hope the instructions for opening fridge doors are not on doggie "you tube"..

It's bad enough i have to worry about the ST.... My stinky furry d's could pick us clean if they got the chance...

Yup my friend at work has a lock on her fridge. Works just fine.

Update: Well..it has finally been scheduled. My surgery is next Wednesday. It had been very frustratiing..for one because of the diet I am on..I am getting crabby because I am hungry all of the time and I feel weak. But I am dreaming of a pizza when I get home from the hospital!

My surgeon goes on vacation on the 18th and his schedule was full to do surgery but accordinging to him..I have to have this done ASAP....so you can see my frustration mixed in with the whole last hospital mix up.

Anyways..the nurse worked at it and I am in...please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers...they are appreciated.

Beware the dog house Crash!!!

I regret to report that I've been a frequent visitor to the house of Canis lupus familiaris over the past 25 years in which I've been "involved" with my dear sweet Alicia. SO much so in fact that they leave a lite on at the door JUST FOR ME! < wink >

Shoot ... I've got so many frequent visitor points at this fine resort that I can go back anytime FREE for a whole year .... if the need should arise. < sigh... is not Love simply grand? >

Jon thought this was hilarious.

Our oldest dd calls me yesterday *What do you want dad to buy you for Christmas and your anniversary. I have to email him back right now.*
I then told her that I have told him at least twice a month for the last year what I want and I even took him to Walmart the evening of *Black Friday* and showed it to him! LOL! So, I am going to buy the Cricut for myself. Although I would rather have got the deal that Walmart had on BF!!!!! UGH!!!
He's buying me all new clothes with our dd being my *consultant*. She's done this for years for her customers @ Ann Taylor. She did it for my mom last year. So, maybe I'll finally start dressing better! LOL!

I'm glad Jon got a chuckle out of this...

Okay.........Cheryl is officially out of Facebook........or until I can get someone to fix my computer!! We went to defrag computer. This happened once before but my java script is not working. I fixed it once before but I don't remember how I did it. I got my Control X enabled but my computer will not run java script. Without this my face book and youtube will not work.

John and I have been both working on this since we defraged computer on Saturday both have .

I guess it will be back to phones for me and now you all will not have a million little gifts I send.
