Kettle chips sound really good right now. I just don't do jalapeno.

I just finished off 2 tangerines. I may go back for 2 more. They are addictive. And it's better for me that everything else I want that is salty, fried or full of sugar.

DD took our last two this morning and I haven't been to the grocery yet. Otherwise, I would be eating fruit too.

Raisins, I wonder if she left any raisins..

I had a fajita burrito. I didn't ask anyone else if they wanted anything. I got my food, shut my door, and read my book. I was blissfully antisocial.

I can't do that here. The only way I get to read my book at lunch is if I say I have errands & sneak off to B&N café.

My old house was less than 3 miles from my office. I went home for lunch every day & read.

I have a rule. You can come ask me a question, but I reserve the right to not answer until my lunch is over. Right now, we are not allowed to work overtime, so I have to actually take my lunch or I could get in trouble.

It isn't that it's that my coworker eats lunch at the same time as me & expects us to eat together in the kitchen every day except Thursday when my other coworker & I go out together.

I'm ok with it most of the time. Some days it gets tedious but since I live alone I get plenty of alone time at the end of the day.

Thanks TD! DS made some gluten free biscuits that we got on clearance for fifty cents at the grocery store the other day. They were made by Glutino. They were awesome! Extremely tasty. We all had some. I usually use a gluten free brand of pasta called Ronzoni. It's really good. Last night I used the Glutino brand because I had gotten them on sale too. The water after I boiled them was really really white. And the noodles came out mushy. They weren't as good as the Ronzoni.

Someone sent me a gluten free cake mix though and I think I'm going to make it tonight for DS! biggrin

Tinydancer · Guru

I hope it turns out yummy. Gluten free products are not always tasty but some brands come out pretty darn good.

You are correct! You have to play with the brands and find the good ones. Once you find a good brand you just stay with it. And they can vary by product. Like the bread can be bad but the noodles can be good. It's just a lot of taste testing and experimenting. If you find a good brand you can't really tell it's gluten free.

Good for you!!!! This is amazing. Seriously. It's so hard to take that first step, but once you do, it's so easy to take another. You got this!!

I am enjoying a lazy day with the dog. It's gorgeous out and we spent 2 hours walking at the nature center. Now he is exhausted and sleeping and I need to wake him up and give him a bath. He ran through the creek chasing ducks.

Got word from DD that her team won their first game, and she played well. Her future college coach was there recruiting and watched her game, and stopped off to tell her she had a good game. That made her day.

My dogs are confused right now. They miss DH. They're scheduled for their baths tomorrow. Layla is still on a strict bath schedule with the antifungal shampoo. They're such good girls.

I'm going to reward myself today with a lazy day. I did work out but I'm not leaving the house. My week has been so insane! And thanks. I'm proud of me! I can't really stand more than about 15 minutes without bad pain but between the pain management and the exercise I'm getting it under control and getting some relief!

Congrats to DD!

I've been super busy too. I need a lazy day! I'm hoping work doesn't call too much this weekend so I can just chill out.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Thanks SB and NJN. She is happy that her coach is there anyway, but getting a "nice job" makes it even better. Even though DD has already committed, the coach checks in with her every once in awhile and asks how it's going. She is very hands on and wants her team to know she is involved. DD is enjoying the attention on her terms - not getting attention because she is DH's daughter.

I have to do this. I've already spoken with the lawyer, have made the plan but still need to actually go in to the office and solidify the trust and other papers. I haven't done it yet, and not because I am procrastinating,I have been too busy during his office hours. I think I am going to call him and just ask what we can do through email and such.

Another nurse that they hired from the floor quit a few weeks into orientation. These girls come from the floor thinking they will just have to work 7-3 M-F and just fill out paperwork. Once they see everything an OR nurse does and that they take 5 or 6 nights of call a month they run for the hills.

I actually called it this time. The first week she was there I had to show her my area and she was supposed to learn a few trays. I could tell she was one who expected everything to just be handed to her. I bet the CNAs hate her on the floors. They probably have to do everything for her.

Newer nurses are being turned out to believe they are there for nursing duties and not the "little" things.

They think surgery is the dream schedule. In reality they stay late all the time, don't get breaks, get stuck on call all the time, and have to wait for someone to give them 2 minutes to go pee.

This same girl came to work crying her first week because they had put their 1 year old in his own bed for the first time the night before. She had this baby sleeping with her and DH for a whole year! She has two older children that never slept in her bed.

I so wanted to take this job change in stride. To still be the happy, up beat worker I have been. But I feel like Ive failed at that. I never dreamed I would be this unhappy with what I'm doing. I know I just need to suck it up and stick it out. But it's so hard to do.
