I have officially lost it

I gave Kofi a ride to Church today. We arrived 2 hours early. I forgot what time Church started.

Mixed Up

Emily is on her way here - I am so excited. I don't think she wiill read this while she is traveling. The Esater Bunny brought her a basket and everything.

I am very sore - worked too hard today.

I realized this week that I have organized my kitchen twice, and both times I have left a cabinet to the left of the sink completely empty and didn't even know it. It makes me wonder how many other things I have not notced.

I am back up to 280 LBS. I have been eating like a pig.

I am looking forward to Church tomorrow. I have been invited to Easter Dinner at the Marr's home - he is now the HP Quorum group leader. They are a cute couple.

A little better

Today was better. Work Laptop still broken - I have a call into a tech 6to coem fix it - who knows how long that will take...

I got a lot of chores done, but the list is long, and I played a lot today. I also watched several Dexter's lab Cartoons. It put me in a good mood.

Not so great of a day

TOday was going to be a gerat day. My daughter, Emily, was graduating from college, I felt good, I wanted to apply myself at work.

Then I got to work to find that my laptop is broken. I have no idea how to get it fixed. I have no phone numbers (except a few of my immediate management - no answer).

we'll see what tomorrow brings

Strike is emminent

Rumor is becoming more detailed. Union workers will not get paid for Good Friday unless they work the day before and after the holiday. That means the soonest the Strike will happen is Easter Sunday.

They would have more impact if they waited until Monday Morning to Strike. People who took the chance and took plane flights will not be able to get a flight back to home quick enough.

Also, one tactic the union used last time was to work a little slower just prior to the Strike, to build up a backlog for their strike-replacements. This appears to be happening here and there.

I think the strike is going to go for awhile. The Union leadership is actually doing an impressive job. http://www.cwa-union.org/news/cwa-at-t-should-work-with-us-to-find-real-health-care-solutions.html

They even have an anthem http://files.cwa-union.org/national/att/song.mp3

The Strike will be at EASTER

THe rumor is that the strike will be at EASTER. That is when the most number of employeews will be tempted to travel far from home to see relatives. It would hav ethe most impact.

So I am going to get as much rest as I can tween then and now.

I didn't go to Support group today. I was almost there - but then I had an accident and had to go home and clean myself up. I guess I really didin't want to go anyway.

I seem to be losing weight again - but real slow.

Wiped Out

I did not speel well Feiday Night. Satruday Morning was the Strike Prep meeting. I worked with live data. it took me 4 hours to do what had been budgeted 2. My brain was mush. When it was over, I could barley walk.

I went home, and finished getting Emily's room ready, and finished most of my chores.

I then went to the Priesthood Session of general conference. I did not change clothes. I sat in the foyer, in the softer chairs. I could barely stay awake enough to listen. When I was over, I walked with a grimace on my face, my back hurt so much. I came hoem, and went to bed.

Today, I finished the cores (not quite) - still some laundry to do. I have mis-managed my time, and I will run out of certain food products ina few days. I thought I had bought enough, but I am not thinking clearly. I will have to go shopping after a 12 hour work day tomorrow as a result, if the strike happens.

I checked my phone messages today. My phone had been set on silent, and I forgot about it. There was an important message from my landlord. I forgot to pay my rent. I have the money. I just fogot to do it when I paid everything else.

I am a zombie today.

Emily's room is almost ready.

I had to move karen's Shrine out of the spare bedroom, so I moved it to a corner piece in my room. See foto above

I have a Strike Preparation meeting tomorrow at 10 AM for 2 hours.

I am setup to recieve texts if we go on strike.

Z'Okay

I saw my Psych today. Since I am down to 0.5 mg Xanax daily, he has approved my request to remain on it until the Strike is over.

I spent the day making reference materials to help me remember what to do on Strike Duty.

I found out it might be possible for me to go to Amy's Wedding and have surgery in May, if I fill out an exception form. Of course, I can't find the form online...

I organized the house a little more today, in preparation for Emily's arrival.

Getting A Nose Job

I went to an ENT Specialist today to examine my nose and throat. There is not much we can do about the throat. I have a huge tongue - oh well. Removing the tonsils is possible, but he didn't suggest it, so neither was I.

The nose is a different matter. I have never had good air flow thru my nose. Heck, I've never had average air flow through my nose.

The reason is: my nasal turbinates are huge. Not just large - huge - making airflow nearly impossible. Here is a few links:

The soonest I can have the surgery is May. The AT&T strike is making scheduling difficult. Some divisions have been told "No Time of until September".

He says that I will be amazed at the difference.

I did a lot of re-arrangement of the apartment today, in preparation for Emily's arrival. Still lots more to do. When she gets here we'll do an IKEA day to get her a bed.
