On the road to recovery.....

Hey everyone...just a quick update....Hubby is doing much better. He is on the road to recovery. He has a sleep study to be done next week, as well as a test for his gall bladder....hoping we can get to the bottom of some his problems.

As far as me..well, I had a small bout of the flu (just the regular flu) over the weekend and into this week. I didn't work out for five entire days...that should tell you how bad I felt. Today, I am much better..tired....overly so, for some reason...but, that may be due to just being run down and the added stress here at work. We are working with a skeleton crew, as 12 people from my office got laid off...thank goodness I wasn't one of them. Although, to have a vacation and collect unemployment from this place, would have been nice..the cut in pay and the waiting on the unemployment, that would not have been so nice.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner...2 weeks from today...Wow, this year has totally flew by. I am planning on cooking a traditional dinner, and my two older boys are coming up...also, invited a close friend of ours over....I will have all four of my sons together for the entire 4 day weekend....I am so excited. I am going to cook all of their favorites....play games (apples to apples), some card games, watch movies with them...although I do have to work on Black Friday...doesn't matter to me, other than I would like the time off....as far as shopping goes...I don't even want to go there....need money for that, and I don't have any...so, no point in going out with the masses on a shopping hunt for the best deals around. I will be scrambling to put any kind of Christmas under the tree as it is.....

I so look forward to next February...tax time....that is when our windfall comes in. When we can catch up on bills, put some money in savings and finally be able to breathe again.....

I would give anything to go back to school..weather it be for nursing, administration, business management or even to get certification as a personal trainer....something that would give me more motivation to get up and go into work every day....I used to be in Hospital Management...I was an Operations Manager for 8 years at a 330 bed hospital...I was over the Housekeeping/Laundry Depts....I loved that job....but circumstances and a new boss that couldn't stand me...i.e...was threatend by me, forced me to resign..and I moved with hubby to his hometown....when we first met..he was commuting 4 hours a day....was killing him..literally, he wrecked 2 cars falling asleep at the wheel...so, in his best interest, I quit my job so we could move...but, boy..do I miss it. It was a very fulfilling job...and I would so love to find another one doing the same thing.

Well...I have rambled enough for one post....lot's of work to do....at least Friday is one day away..yay! Look forward to kicking some butt at the gym, cooking for my family and relaxing with a nice bottle..or two of wine....

Love you all...
