This is Christian Hospital where I work. They gave us our Christmas Party today and it was a really nice dinner. We all got a pull along tote for our gift. They had the local school choir come in and carol also.

Yesterday morning I got into my car to go to work but it didn't want to go. Time for a new battery. We kinda figured we would have to do this just didn't know we would have to so soon. But considering I stay late at the hospital several nights a week, I have to have it dependable for me.

We got out the Christmas Tree last night and put it up. We will decorate it tomorrow night. Baxter was busy trying to sniff it but the needles kept poking him in his big nose. Now he walks by it and growls at it everytime. I don't think we have to worry about him messing with it. hahahaha

I hope everyone is having a great week !!!!

With the bad weather I was busy most of my break at work scraping snow off of the car and door as the wind chills were horrible and I knew I didn't want to do all of that at 11 at night when I would be going home. It took several tries to get my door open at 11 but the Security for BJC managed it. The roads were not too bad mostly the bridges and overpasses had black ice on them...Hate that crap...... Glad that I only live about 3 miles from work...LOL

I sat with a patient but most of our time was spent watching the traffic and all the accidents on the overpass of 367, which is right outside the Hospital.

Tony left for work earlier this morning to allow for those icy patches, me well I have the day off. I worked a double shift yesterday and will spend my day catching up on housework.

It is a good thing I have the day off as last night around 10 I decided to eat some chocolate covered peanuts and have a coke and when I got home I guess I was wacked out on that chocolate as I didn't get to sleep until 2 this morning. hahaha

I hope Everyone has a Great Weekend !!!!

Cold Rains of November

I worked a double shift yesterday instead of working my day off today. As you can see from the picture of the front yard, plenty of leaves have fallen again. Guess this coming weekend will be a very busy one for Tony and I. Although we have a chance of snow on Saturday.

Next Thursday is the big smoke out at work. People can go to their cars to smoke but no where else on the hospital property. I have to park quite a distance from the hospital so I am quite sure I will not be smoking during the day at work.

I hope everyone is having a Great Week !!!!

Fall

Tony got out in the yard the day before yesterday and mowed up the first round of fall leaves. With 4 big trees in the yard we will have plenty of raking time this fall. Today is my day off this week and I am busy.

I have already got the Christmas music going. It is windy, chilly and rainy outside today.

November 20th, the hospital where I work is going smoke free. I haven't quite decided yet on if I will quit or not. We have to park quite a ways from the hospital and I just don't think I will be taking that long walk at break or lunch just to have a smoke. I am thinking I will just be smoke free at work.

First week.......

First week at Christian Hospital is behind me. Great bunch of people I work with there. Has been a very busy week here. Tony and I decided with my starting work that we would just let Baxter (the Boxer) stay in the back room during the day and not put him in his cage. Tony fixed a4 foot piece of plasterboard up in front of the door and put a chair in front of it. We both left for work hoping this would be a great solution. When I got home from work the place was a disaster zone. Baxter had clawed his way through the top of the barrier and climbed his way out and over the top of the chair. Everything was in the floor, he had pulled everything off of the dining room table and the dresser in the bedroom. A whole box of sandwich bags was everywhere and the fresh flowers that Tony had brought to me over the past weekend were a thing of the past. I really didn't get upset as it was an experiment in progress. We decided that a door will have to go up in that entranceway and until that happens Baxter is going into the cage.
