Good Morning Crew. Today is already off to an interesting start. We have an employee who went out on FMLA in March due to a personal medical issue and now he is trying to claim it as a workers comp. Our legal department is now involved and is starting an investigation. Honestly he should have never made it past 90days as he called out 15 times during his first three months of employment. He spent the Summer having fun with his girlfriend and their baby. Now his FMLA and short term disability are up so he is trying to get more time off by any means.
QOTD: For those of you who play the lottery like Powerball or Mega millions if you won what would you do with the money? Since Powerball is over 500million I will buy a few extra tickets just incase. I would purchase a plantation in the South not overly far from the ocean, enclose it with Jurassic Park fencing and live away from everyone. I have enough knowledge of things that I wouldn't really need to venture out into the world for much. I would love to live 100% off grid.
B: RYZE coffee and 1/2 cup cottage cheese with blueberries
L: garden salad
D: chicken salad stuffed hot peppers
Irvin tweaked something yesterday while working on one of the trucks and then when we went to Y it was bothering him more so we are going to take a few days off from exercising.
Have a great day everyone!!!

Glad the tooth is out and you are feeling better.

Good morning, everybody!
The tooth is finally out. The Oral Surgeon said I have cat teeth with long roots that are hard to pull but good for implants because they fill a lot of space. I was pretty uncomfortable on Thursday afternoon, but feeling a lot better now.
Our fishing trip was fun but the water was a bit too warm for much trout activity. Basically the same lesson that we should have learned in Oregon last summer. But a great weekend overall.
Today is my last swim class, although I think that I just heard thunder, so we will see if it happens.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Catered
Dinner: Steak
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all
I'm in a bad mood. I'm also depressed over my health stuff. Trying to shake it. It's hard. It'll be what it'll be...I know that but it's still hard to have all this on my plate. My PCP decreased my insulin way too much and my numbers have shown it. He wants my A1c around 6.5. It's went up to 6.2 already. I just wish they'd listen to me. I feel alone and just scared.
Today I have a phone appointment with my bariatric doctor. Any time during business hours LOL
B: egg, chicken sausage, cheese and coffee
L: sesame chicken
D: chimichanga
pics of opal and one of Mona. Also a piece of rock I found at the thrift store.
Good Monday Morning Gang. Wow did the weekend fly by. Irvin ended up buying a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It was a good deal and only 15 minutes from the house. He needed something smaller than the trucks that he drives.
Short week for me as I'm off W, T, and F. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Thursday at 8am just a preventive one and then I decided to take Friday off just because I have the time.
QOTD: I'll have to swing back around for this unless someone else wants to do a QOTD.
B: regular coffee and eggs with feta cheese
L: turkey and cheese wrap
D: chicken fajitas in a bowl
Hitting the Y tonight.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

I am planning my October trip to Portland and looking for ideas for fun. Planning for a day at Oregon Zoo and a plane tour of Portland. Also want to see the volcano and the Columbia River and the Oregon coast. I was doing some work years ago for ascis shoes in Beaverton but working all the time I was there and no time for sightseeing. I am finally getting to do that.
Before I went to ascis, I called and asked about their dress code. They said wear anything you want as long as it is not a suit and does not say Nike on it. They were super casual dressers and some of them bought their dogs to work. I still plan to meet you there and take you on a dinner cruise.

QOTD- I have more than I should. The one I play everyday is Wordscapes. It is a word game where you have the letters and have to place them in the crossword type layout. I used to play a slot game daily (Slots Era****il I switched phones and they wouldn't give me my levels or $ back. I was in the 1400's for levels and had over $1M dollars. I tried multiple times to get it restored and they never did so I uninstalled it. I also realized I was spending way too much time playing it.
Waiting for the rains to come, so far nothing. It's just cloudy. I don't think we are going to get the atmospheric river that was promised. This area is difficult to forecast due to the mountains, Columbia river gorge, valleys and ocean influences.
I need to get to work.
Have a great day everyone!
