Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOOO for Fridays!!!  I'm up and at 'em and ready to get this day over with, LOL!
Worked from my daughter's house yesterday so I could babysit Becca Sue.  I got baby snuggles while working, what a combo, LOL!

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Dave Matthews Band's Walking in Memphis is on the turntable, so sit back and relax for the ride..

Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy
Won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now, security did not see him
They just hovered round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel

Now, they've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
The Reverend Green, he'd be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer

Boy, you got a prayer in Memphis

Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
So I sang with all my might
She said, "Tell me are you a Christian, child?"
And i said, "Ma'am, I am tonight!"

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet 10 feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes and I
Boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

GOOD MORNING! I've got my zip fizz made and am drinking it. That's my fav beverage.
Today is the last day of the consumer training. I'm so exhausted- its been a crazy week. Then last night I got a call that one of them went to the hospital last night in an ambulance. I don't know any more than that- will find out more today. We had a great time at the Stockyards yesterday. I had 5 teams going through the maze. It was HOT though!

Prayers continue for Meggie. Take care.

Like Alissa I'm on my last day of training/school for this week also!  Will still need to jump through some more hoops to take the state test I'll need to take.  You got to love Austin and what the fine folks of the"fun and games" department does for us every two years.  Ready to boogie my butt back to the boonies!  I'll have to make run on the uniform store in Garland before I go back south.  Will be toting a couple of lattes when I go back home.  Has been nice having a Sbux a mile down the service road from the hotel.  Tonight I get to sleep with my GF!  Not Norma!  My other GF.  The one with four legs, gives doggy kisses and sheds!

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Good morning and TGIF! I can 7 days and week and STILL know when it's Friday and Monday. I have private duty hospice cases booked for tonight and tomorrow night 8pm-8am (last chance for cruise cash), so hoping it all works out. I can sleep...whenever!

It's been an especially busy, stressful week in my work world...just lots of pt family dynamics, etc...lots of sick folks...sometimes that's how it rolls...next week may swing the other way...I never know...just hope today is calmer, cuz I am WHOOPED!!

By this time next week it will be my LAST work day before cruise time-y'all won't be able keep me in my chair-but-for now-better go get my clothes ready and get in the shower.

Prayers all around-both spoken and especialy for the unspoken

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!

 Morning Karen and TMB, 

I surprised my self last night by keeping my eye open ( well somewhat open LOL ) last night for my drops.   Anyway they went into the eye.   They burned a little but I figured it was because of all the drops my eyes had due to dialation and all the prodding done to it.   I am glad that yesterday is behind me.   Praying now that after the cruise and I get back that the heart doc will say everything is OK with it.    Hope so anyway.    I have a fairly busy day today.    Gotta get youngest son up in a minute and get him out the door for his 7 AM private guitar lesson ( Can you believe a 7 AM lesson???_)   That is just wrong to do that for a almost 20 yr old.  LOL  At least it gets him up and moving right?    LOL   I am having a little bit of trouble adjusting to my new lenses.    I guess it will take some time.   I gotta get dressed and moving.   Have a blessed day  !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

 Hey everyone.

I'm already feeling the dread of heading back to work Monday creeping into my belly.  :(  But...because of the info we have discovered about Clint's work, I do have an 'end date' in mind and it looks like I'll be heading back to school in the spring.  The only thing keeping me at my job has been my benefits.  But we found out Clint's work covers 'domestic partners' so in May when open enrollment comes around I'll be moving to his insurance and going back to school to get my Culinary Arts degree.  WHOO!

If I hadn't just had this hernia repair, I'd consider rolling the dice for 6 months and not working OR having benefits but that's just not a game I want to gamble on.

Regardless....I'm determined to have a great day and a great weekend.   Today I plan on finishing the kitchen and straightening up the living room.

Prayers for you all!  Have a wonderful day.
