I began this week with "0" hours for week for a work schedule and finishing up my previously week with Orientation on last Saturday during the day. Believing I'd a week to get some things done and caught up around our home, my hopes quickly dimished. No sooner had I seemed to arrive at home, I received a phone call from my Dept. Head asking if I could possibly come in from midnight Saturday to 8 a.m. on Sunday. Figuring "a paycheck" vs. "no paycheck" was best, I quickly said, "yes!"
Arriving at work on Saturday, Brian {a co-worker} quickly offered me his Tuesday night to Wednesday shift to allow him some time to work on more remodeling of his new home so I picked up an addition 8 hours there; Bob called me early Sunday evening asking if I'd work Sun. to Monday morning as a co-worker was in the ER and on my Tuesday-Wednesday shift, I was asked upon arrival if I'd work tonight! Well, today is Thursday, and after I work tonight which will put me at 32 hours this week alone. And the week isn't over yet.........
As if working 3rd shift itself isn't confusing enough, try being on call for it, LOL! I swear it changes the entire way you look at the calendar, plan your life, and having a night off inbetween a few of those shifts is just enough to throw you completely off any sense of establishing a schedule. My body says I'm daytime/morning person, my schedule says "3rd shift" and my nights and days are as equally mixed up. I don't ever remember being this disoriented when I worked third shift back in 1992. Somehow, someway, I'm hopeful I'll manage to get myself and this all figured out. So, if my schedule seems crazy to you, trust me it is!
For my family and friends who desire to telephone me, I am normally home in the mornings from 8:30 a.m. I try to lay down for some sleep anywhere between 9-10 a.m., but it is usually 10:30 before I actually do, and then awaken before 2-3 p.m. I spend at least a half-hour, drinking coffee, trying to re-group and re-oriente myself before working on housework and getting dinner between 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Those late afternoon hours, into the early evenings are the best time to telephone me. I promise, I'll TRY not to be too upset if awaken, as long as it is between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Some nights, I try to lay back down for a few hours rest before work, normally between 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. From 10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., I'm normally finishing up any housework that needs finishing and getting ready for work. So there you have it......... welcome to my CRAZY world!!!!
Hopefully, I can establish some sense of normalacy somehow in my life........ at least until I have another day off, LOL! A funny thing is that I've been desiring to watch a movie and do you think I can stay awake until 8 or 9 p.m. let alone long enough to watch one? What a life...............

A new discovery.........
I just came across this quotation, which is simply perfect for my previous post.
"One must still have chaos in oneself
to be able to give birth
to a dancing star."
~Friedrich Neitzche
2006 & New Beginnings
It's been quite some time since I've last updated my blog as my life has certainly been coming at me fast. If 2006 has a theme, I'd certainly have to say that theme is "change."
Don continues to heal from his total knee replacement done on December the 14th and is doing well with the physical therapy and activities of daily living. My new 3rd shift job began on Dec. 20th, has provided me with quite a bit of an adjustment; a part-time position with full-time hours as I worked through to the new year. Now, my hours are lessing. If fact, so much that I originally had zero hours with the schedule change for this week, to being on call and now have worked 8 hrs. last night, being called in for tonight, and a co-worker offering me another 8 hr. shift. There is also the possibility of taking another position, this one full-time days as a friend telephone called me after a co-worker just quit and a position became open there. I am seriously considering applying for tomorrow. My current job with Kroger's is willing to work with me on a part-time schedule, so it is possible that I may work both for a while as we try to catch up with all the soon-to-be received medical bill, repairs for some recent computer problems, as well a major repair with our Jeep that has finally been successfully resolved 12 transfer casings later. One thing that I can say is that I've learned a lot about expecting the unexpected when you least expect it!
Chaos continues to grow by leaps and bounds. As of yesterday, he is now a 5 month old with too much energy all in one place. He is developing his own personality along with some stubborness and headstrong ways. Unfortunately, I've little time to work further with his training and obedience --- something I'm hopeful to rectify shortly.
Artistically, I've little to say that I've been creative although I have managed to carve small blocks of time to play. In December, I created some Basic Grey Ornamental balls as ornaments from a kit, managed to play with some glossy cardstock, Tim Holtz alcohol inks, and create a beautiful pop up card and some backgrounds for additional artwork. A few days ago, , I took advantage of a day off which provided me with some much needed "me time" to create a new coptic stictch book which I titled, "Always Remeber to Bloom". I'm hopeful to be able to share its creation soon as I find time to reinstall the scanner back into the revamped computer system. I used my Awl guide and new awl for the first time and cannot even begin to explain how easy it is to use! After my first time of using it, I certainly wondered how I ever got along without it! I'll definately will be ordering more bookbinding tools from Talas as my fianances allow. My dream purchase is a book press, however, really says, "keep dreaming" --- guess I'll be content with my two pieces of wood and "C" clamps for a while longer, LOL!
I did manage to make it out into the studio in the early a.m. on a few of my days off. I've started working once again on the re-organizing. I boxed up some supplies, cleared off both bookcases of rubberstamps to dust and re-organize once again as time allows, even if it will be in increments of time stolen from here and there. I've outgrown my stamp cabinet for storing my wood mounted stamps, so I'm faced with the decision to either add more acrylic trays or utilize the bookcases. I'm leaning more towards the latter allowing me to make the best use of what I already own vs. purchasing anything else. I've definately come to the conclusion that some of the wood stamps I've outgrown need a new home somewhere else and that I really need to be more selective of those that I will purchase mounted vs. unmounted. I'm hopeful to be purchasing more unmounted than mounted images in the future.
My dd, Amber is doing great with the pregnancy. She is now 5 months along and is off the modified bedrest she was placed on earlier in the pregnancy. Her and Chris are in the process of moving back in with Chris's parents once again. Unfortunately, finances were a major part of their decision to make this move; although I as her mom am a little relieved as she'll be able to focus more on the planning for my grandchild's future arrival.
Well, there you have it --- our lives in a nutshell! Chaotic, commotion, and filled with changes and new beginnings!

Good Monday Morning.......
I am feeling so much better today after a good night's restful sleep. Don and I accomplished so much yesterday, I'm truly amazed. The refrigerator has been cleaned out, garbage ready to be taken out to the curb, groceries bought and re-stocked, and all last minute items we required have been purchased.
Today's agenda consists of a much slower pace, a load or two of laundry, some light housework, and two small suitcases to be packed. A brief rundown through our checklist to be certain nothings been overlooked and a few errands to run --- that I am all for Don doing, hehehehe.
My nerves are calming down, thankfully, and I am in a much better frame of mind. I am shocked at how I've reacted to this upcoming surgery..... normally, I'm the dependable one, keeping it all together amist the confusion, the one who falls apart after the crisis is over. Not this time... however, when I reflect back upon it all, even I wonder how I managed to accomplish it all!
I'm not too surprised at my reaction when I consider how long I worked, all the shopping for the Thanksgiving holiday, attending two dinners, going back to work, and lots of running and scrambling to get Christmas out of the way and this surgery scheduled in. I'm truly impressed actually that I can say I did it! Not that I've any plans to anything remotely similar in the next several weeks, LOL! I've decided it nearing the time for me to relax, to slow down, to hibernate in the midst of winter. To enjoy the day to day pleasures, I so missed out on while I worked so hard. It is time to "restoreth my soul".
I believe I truly need and deserve this time to decide what it is I honestly desire to do with my life, to re-assess what is working for me and what isn't and make the necessary changes I need to make. One of the items on that list is to find work locally. The track to Delaware 5 days a week is simply becoming too much for so little benefits, yet I'll continue to do it after the New Year until something better comes alongs. I'm opening up myself to my options, looking at what is offered locally in the education department --- possibly considering going back to school. There is definately a lot to consider, but the good news is I don't have to be in a major rush to do it!
I did talk with a local store manager yesterday and during the conversation employment opportunities came up so I did an online application for a local position. This is one option that I am planning to follow up on further. I definately need some sort of income coming in while Don recovers and it seems flexible enough to be accomplished. At least the employment situation is looking a little more promising.......... and can be furthered explored to work in my favor vs. the struggle it has been. I truly believe one must do what they love and should do whatever it is takes for them to achieve that, so maybe this is a stepping-stone to getting me to where I desire to be. There is certainly a lot of possibilities........ and the choice is mine.
Anyways, I'm off to begin my day..... at a much more relaxed pace. I'll try to update something later today; until then, "Have a beautiful day!"

5 more days........and a vent!
The anticipation of Don's upcoming surgery still has me running, nervously anticipating the coming-way-too-soon, early Wednesday arrival. Preparations for his return home are still very much on the front burner and are just enough to truly begin wearing me out. In truth, I'm exhausted! Physically, mentally, and emotionally drained and my body is telling me that I am as well. I've had diarrhea, one of the way my body says, "STRESSED" for the last 4 days, so bad that I've dropped another 4-5 lbs. Yesterday, upon running to the bathroom, I was able to remove my jeans without even unfastening them and a belt has now been added to assist keeping them where they belong. And yet there is still so many things I need to get done before the actual event occurs.
Last Saturday, we took a road trip to Mansfield to visit several stores for items he'd need while in the hospital and recovering; I believe I've covered it all from several new T-shirts, flannel boxers, a new robe, and skid resistant slippers. Rubbing alcohol and gallon sized ziplocks for ice packs, personal products he and I both will need. Lists have been made from all the appointments to the do's and don't right up to the date of the surgery. Prescriptions that need filled, bandages, and walking aids to be purchased..........
Earlier this week, I managed to clean our bedroom, guest bedroom/laundry room completely! Dusting and vacuaming every single nook and cranny. I somehow managed to go through my closet and dresser drawers, removing clothing that I've held on to for what seems next to forever and get them boxed up and given away.
Next on that list is the thorough cleaning of the living room, kitchen and bath making certain that Don can safely maneuver about the house once we return home and friends and family can visit as he is up to visiting with them. I've the refrigerator to clean, grocery shopping to be done, and making certain any and all food that may spoil while we're away is removed befored it has a chance to, and laundry to catch up on. The "To Do List" becomes so intimidating that I've many times felt like screaming and for some strange reason it seems to never end........ every time I'm crossing one thing off, it seems I find two more items to add!
Right now, I so want this ordeal to be done and over with so I can once again establish some sense of normalicy back to my life. I desparately need some "Me" time, time to simply fall out and rest, to collect my own scattered thoughts together. I don't think anyone really knows and understands the burdens that I somewhat impose upon myself, making certain that no one important detail is overlooked nor how important I take the responsibility of it all. Not to mention how it all seems to weigh mostly upon my shoulders.
Maybe I do make a bigger deal out all of this than what it actual needs to be, however, his health and well-being are my upmost concern. It is so difficult, especially when there are other people, family members and friends, who will actually play such a small role in the procedure once it is all said and done, who have their own thoughts and opinions of how things ought to be {yet are doing nothing to actual assist either of us.} I wonder if they realize the stress it places upon me and sometimes even if they truly care.
It is a terrible feeling when I feel that what I am doing goes unnoticed, that I am not getting the credit that I honestly feel I deserve for all that I've so desparately tried to accomplish to make this as uncomplicated as I absolutely can. I feel afraid to open my mouth, to say anything, in the event that I might yet again offend someone when what Don and I desire for ourselves and our own lives doesn't coincide with their opinion of the way "they" think it should be. And then, I begin to wonder IF they even realize any of this at all.......... mainly because it is "Me" and "Us" and not "Them".
Everyday is such a challenge to put these thoughts, feelings, and emotions behind me, to go about doing what I believe is best to be done. Don tells me I'm doing great, doing a wonderful job, yet I don't feel that way..... especially when I feel whatever I am doing is never going to ever be "good enough" and I am compared in such a way that no human being should ever be. I guess I just don't get why some people cannot accept me the way that I am, appreciate me for what I do accomplish and not what I don't. And in all honesty, I know in my heart that is the way it will always be and there is nothing I can ever do or say that would make a damn bit of difference!
OK, my vent is over... I've decided to stop, right here, right now before I really put my foot in my mouth. I've too much left to do to be playing into yet another head game, a meaningless one at that in which I'm quite aware that no good will ever come out of it!

So many things to do and so little time........
Oh my gosh, it has been so long since I've had a spare moment for myself...... one long enough that would allow me to string two complete and total thoughts together, that now that I do have the chance, I'm uncertain if I can do it, LOL! Either way, I've decided to use it to update my long, lost seemingly forgotten blog!
My life has been a whirlwind! So much so, I don't know how I've not managed to run into myself with all the comings and goings. Anyways, it has been so long since I've written here that I don't even remember what I've mentioned and what I've not, so please bear with me here as I try to catch "not only my breath" but up to date on all the recent happenings.
We are still uncertain regarding the outcome of the actual the surgery and really won't know until he has completed the 4 - 6 weeks healing time with physical therapy here. It may even become a 6 - 8 week process, taking us right into the New Year. Therefore, my employment has became temporarily on hold for a bit and appears it will stay that way until after the New Year. {There is a slight possibility I could work a bit by this week's end and a few day before... but at this point, I'm all for ruling it out entirely!}

Have I mention that Don will be having a total knee replacement surgery? Having been born with Cerebral Palsy that has affected his lower extremities all of his life, we both are excited and elated at the possibly of his left leg finally being surgerically corrected. Since late September 2005, the ball to get this done has been rolling; lately at a high rate of speed! Now, I'm not certain what man in his right mind schedules a total knee replacement surgery smack dab in between two major holidays and the busiest time of year .......... Oh yeah, that's the man I'm planning to one day marry, LOL! Anyways, life has been one joyous and exciting ride after another since I've met him so I cannot act totally shell shocked at his timing.
In September and after a real scare of him tripping due to his knee giving way and the even more suspenseful ride of where he almost ended up ---- putting his hard head through our living room window; the man I so dearly love decides after 3 long years of begging and pleading to look into a total knee replacement.
Anyways, in mid-September, Don received some excellent news! He will be undergoing surgery on December 14th for a total knee implant. Affecting his left leg, the knee joint is gone. There is no cartiledge nor fluid remaining in the joint. Combined with the CP he was born with, it has put his left leg 18 degrees outward from what we all know as "normal". The Dr. who will performing the surgery has a patent out on his knee/hip replacements techniques and implants and specializes in working with physical handicaps. The good news is he is 98% certain that he will be able to maneuver and manipulate the implant so that Don's leg will be straightened! Don is excited, having had trouble walking all his life, he says, "I feel like I just hit the lottery!"
Since then, it has been one appointment after another, one test after yet another test, and Dr.'s appointments after Dr's. appointments. If you'd like to add in my 11 hr. work days, a now 4 month old black lab ---- very much so appropriately named Chaos!, all the preparations for Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, and the preparations for this surgery to all come together successfully --- the picture will begin to come together! So please, pardon my ramblings.......... and know that behind every successful man there is a great woman, even if she's a bit worn and frazzled right now!
On November 30th, we visited New Albany Joint Implant Surgeons for his history and physical, pre-admission testing, and physical therapy. And on Monday, we finished up with the final Cardiologist visit clearing the way for the actual surgery scheduled for December the 14th.
We are still uncertain regarding the outcome of the actual the surgery and really won't know until he has completed the 4 - 6 weeks healing time with physical therapy here. It may even become a 6 - 8 week process, taking us right into the New Year. Therefore, my employment has became temporarily on hold for a bit and appears it will stay that way until after the New Year. {There is a slight possibility I could work a bit by this week's end and a few day before... but at this point, I'm all for ruling it out entirely!}
So, there you have it....... recent news.......... current events......... and one insane lady! {smiles}

MIA..........
Life has been a complete whirlwind! Mornings become Evenings, days pass on into the nights, and before I've a chance to realize it........ weeks have passed by. I've been busy with work, holiday preparations, and Don upcoming total left knee replacement on December the 14th. I've little time to even check my emails......... so I apologize in advance, if anyone has emailed me and I've yet to get back to you/them.
Today, I had a day off. Thinking I'd get caught up with some online friends was short and sweet as my computer decided to act up..... running so slowly my modem wouldn't even connect to the internet. The problem ---- Adware!!!! Grrrr.........
I'm working diligently to remove it all, correct my hard drive, removing some programs and installing others. Let's just say I am not too happy with my Norton Anti-virus at the moment for allowing this to happen, but then that is a completely new vent!
Anyways, just wished to say, "Hello" - "I'm still here" - "and all is "somewhat" well" LOL! I promise to catch up and take a deep breath soon! *waves*
