What a day!
Started out at the hospital, with a good workday that turned very busy. So that by the end of the 12 1/2 hour shift, we were all extremely focused on making sure everything got done. (it did-'cuz we are that awesome!)
It had been snowing most of the day, and had just started to "stick" about 5 pm. By the time I got to my car, it was covered in about two inches of large-flaked, sticky, snow. When I started out, and got onto the expressway, the roads weren't too bad--wet, with snow around the edges. But the further north I got, the worse the weather got. So much so, that I was following the semi truck in front of me, who had passed me and caused a white-out. This truck was now going 25-30 mph. We passed 2 cars off the road and a couple other vehicles that had just stopped on the shoulder. Visibility was poor, and I was grateful for the rumble strips on the sides of the road. Yes, I did end up "finding" them. On each side. I was surprised when we were that far over on the left lane. This is the worst weather I've driven in this season.
I got home safely, thank you God.
An interesting evening, looking at the internet.
Tomorrow I was hoping to visit with J & P; I haven't seen them in a while. Have to see how the roads are...
Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another Beautiful Day!!! It's so unusual to be 38 degrees and clear blue skies in early February in Michigan. But I have to say... I like it. It scares me, though, as to what may be ahead.
I went over to the cardiology office today for a "clearance" appointment. (I've got a colonoscopy scheduled in a couple of weeks. Yup, I'm that old.)
Alex called me back and checked my height and weight. Still 5'4", and weight was 136.4. Wow!! Last visit was June 29, and I'm down 20.8 pounds. That makes my BMI (body mass index) 23, which is "normal". They were very pleased; along with the weight loss is the cholesterol levels returning to normal levels. So, I met my goal of not having to take another daily pill, thank you God. Alex did an EKG too, which was normal. And since the Femara has been filled with a generic, I've not had much in the way of arrhythmias, either. Who knows--maybe the extra weight had something to do with that, too?? I don't have to go back unless I have "concerns" again. Yippee!!
On the way home I stopped at Discount Tire and had the tires checked and aired, stopped at Meijer to fill with gasoline, and then at Fast Eddie's for a car wash.
Back at home I fixed food and ate.
A quiet afternoon and evening, collecting odds and ends of filing and income tax preparation.
Tomorrow is a workday.
Overall, I'm feeling.....pretty good. Thank you God.

I didn't sleep well again last night, but didn't have to get up this morning, so when I woke about 0730, I listened to the radio a bit before getting up.
The sun came up in a blue sky; I went out for a run a couple hours later.
Breakfast and shower, and I looked at the internet a little before going over to Leah's for a massage.
She did a fabulous job, as always. Thank you, Leah.
Supper, a couple of phone calls, and a quiet evening.
Tomorrow is a cardiology appointment, just a follow up. I haven't had very many "episodes" since the Femara switched to a generic. Hmmm.

I didn't sleep very well last night, and surely did not want to get up at 0430. But I was up, dressed, and getting ready for the day when the phone rang. You bet, I went back to bed.
I still didn't sleep well, but with the extra dozing I felt better at 0830 when I woke.
A couple of phone calls, and I went to Jackson, taking my uniform with me. I finished my tasks, had a bite to eat, and went on over to the hospital.
We had a great afternoon. I so enjoy my co-workers. They are great women, each one of them.
A safe drive home, thank you God, and a quiet evening.
Tomorrow is a massage. Yesssss.

Another Great Day!!
The drive down to Jackson was illuminated by the might-as-well-be full moon. Owwwwww--makes me want to howl....!!! It was so beautiful in the sky.
We had a good work day, with wonderful co-workers.
I had a quiet evening at home, trying to catch up on internet stuff. Not making good progress.
Tomorrow is also a scheduled workday, but the census is (low) and I may not be needed. Or, I may have to float. (Ick)
Whatever.
I'm thankful to have a job.
