Hi All!
Well, I survived the first of many days I will call "suicide schedules!" I had work and then class from 6 until 10 P.M. That is a LONG day! Especially when you add in the 40-45 minute drive home.
Anyway, I survived. It was nice to see so many of my ASL friends in class. The class itself seems like it is going to be interesting but I am going to reserve my final judgement until we really get into things!
Work yesterday was good. Well, it was better than Tuesday since I had a bit more of an idea about what was going on. I also had a speech appointment so I got to chat a bit with Susan while she was working on my throat. Surprisingly, despite everything that has been going on in my life lately (illness and class, etc.) my voice got a seal of approval. In fact, Susan said she was very impressed with how well it is doing. She said that while my neck was a bit "crunchy" it wasn't as tight as she had predicted it to be after hearing that I had been sick. YEAH! I must be doing something right!
One thing I am not doing well at is the whole support group thing. We are supposed to have a meeting in two weeks and I haven't even sent out the notice! I did secure a location but . . . probably no one will show up! Of well! I have good intentions! We will see what happens with that.
Okay - I am going to make this a bit shorter than I could. Have a good Day!

Voice Update: I pretty much said it all in the main body of the post. Doing well. Doing well!

Putting One Foot In Front of the Other . . .
Hi All!
Can I just say . . . . **sigh!**
Okay, now that I have that out of the way. I didn't post yesterday because I was so darn tired when I woke up that I just HAD to have a nap before heading to work and that meant cutting out blogging. Sorry!
I am feeling better but not 100% yet. It seems to be very important for me to watch what I eat very carefully. If I eat too much too fast or something which is too "rich" my stomach lets me know (loudly!) that it doesn't approve! Yesterday I ate toast for breakfast. Toast for lunch. And chicken and cheese quesedillas (homemade) for dinner. Dinner was WAY too much for my stomach and I only ate half of what I would normally eat. Maybe this is going to be a new way of life for me!?!
Water is another issue I am having since my illness. I know that I need to drink liquids to stave off the possibility of dehydration but . . . I just can't seem to do it. Water isn't tasting good to me. Frankly, nothing is tasting too good to me at this moment! Another problem with water is that it fills my stomach up and then my stomach hurts. Drats! Currently I am taking small sips multiple times a day to try to get my quota of liquids.
Today I finally got out to walk. I didn't complete my entire route but I did get out there. It was a lovely, damp day with pastel pink and blue skies. After walking my abbreviated route which took about 20 minutes I did some Wii Fit - again much abbreviated. I must admit that my stomach didn't enjoy either of these two activities but fooey on my stomach!
In other news . . . I am working all this week. And all next week. And all every week until the bosses find a permanent person. Linda decided over the weekend to quit to spend time with her family. She is in a rather negative place since she was told that she will continue chemo for the rest of her life. She is naturally assuming that the "rest of her life" won't be very long. I keep reminding her that through God all things are possible. So sad. Please continue praying for her.
The new office is very nice for working in. It is well lit and I am getting it pretty well organized for efficiency. Yesterday was a bit stressful because the phone system wasn't working quite right so the phone person was at the office for over an hour. Also I still had several bins of material to unpack from the weekend. Hopefully today will be a bit calmer. I do have a speech appointment today with Susan so that will be a nice break in my work day.
My next class, Interpreting One, starts this evening. From six until ten - at night! Add a 45 minute drive home onto the end of that and . . .well, I might get to see my darling Hubby snoozing when I get home! I can only imagine how the kitties - especially Skor - will take my prolonged absence! It will be interesting, to say the least! Wish me luck!

Sick, Sick, Sick
Hi All!
Do you know the old saying "be careful what you wish for?" Well, I was wishing for the weekend, right? As it turned out, I probably should have just wished that the week kept going as it was going!
Friday night I got home from work, met Hubby at the bank, got home and had dinner. Then I went to bed really, really early. I was SOOOOO tired! I slept in a bit on Saturday and woke up feeling pretty darn good. I did laundry and crocheted (I now have ten rows of the needed 27 completed!), read a book by Mary Higgins Clark. Basically, I had a good time.
In the late afternoon I decided to take a nap - this was after Hubby noticed that I had over watered all of our plants and that they were leaking gross water all over the carpets which the two of us spent about half an hour cleaning up. By the time I got up it was time to head to Wal Mart for a much needed trip. We were running out of toilet paper and zip lock bags!
Before heading to "Wally World," we ate dinner at What-A-Burger. This is one of our favorite places to have a dinner out. They make good burgers! As soon as I was finished eating I noticed that my stomach was a bit . . . unsettled. It wasn't anything serious though so we headed to "Wally World" and finished our trip. All during the shopping I was feeling a bit "off" but couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong.
Once we were home I had to zip into the bathroom. And THAT started it all. I pretty much spent the rest of the evening in the bathroom.
Diarrhea and then . . . after much waiting and pacing . . . the "chance" to - shall we say - review everything I had eaten for dinner. What fun!
This lovely duo continued approximately every two hours for the rest of the evening and through the next morning. I was so thirsty but even water was immediately rejected from my system! I resorted to just swishing water around in my mouth and then spitting it out. Can you say - pathetic?
The vomiting ended early Sunday morning - around 6:00 A.M. I think. However, the trips to the bathroom continued though they did slow their pace dramatically. I was able to keep a few sips of orange juice down by around noon along with a half of an individual cup of applesauce and I actually showered and took a walk up and down the block by about 4:00 P.M. Dinner was chicken noodle soup - it was yummy!- and then it was some tv and bed.
After sleeping through the night (well, with one bathroom trip) I got up this morning to my stomach making very strong demands for something to eat. I finished the cup of applesauce and headed back to bed for about an hour before the cats decided that I needed to get up. Then I warmed up left-over soup and had a nice breakfast.
I didn't get up to go walking this morning nor did I do my Wii. My mind isn't too happy about this but my body just wasn't going to be able to handle it today.
I am supposed to head to work today but I am thinking that might not be a good idea. Linda will be there and with her lowered immune system . . . I don't think that this "bug" that I had/have would be good exposure for her. Besides, I am continuing to experience some diarrhea.
Maybe I will just go back to sleep for a while.
Trisha
Voice Update: The whole "reviewing of previously eaten meals" was rather rough on my voice. I also didn't do my exercises while making the trips to the bathroom. In hindsight, it might have been the perfect time to do my exercises. I mean - what else was I really doing other than waiting around? Anyway - my voice is okay - could be better but is still hanging in there.

Really?!?
Hi All!
Well. This week has really been a "piece of work." I have been packing and working and crocheting and Wii-ing and feeling exhausted. Yesterday I said the week seemed like it would never end and, guess what! It won't!
Yesterday I got home from work at 7:00 with the knowledge that I "get" to get back THIS afternoon! To unpack. Doesn't that sound like "fun?"
Well, I am going to try to block that from my mind until I get there. I managed to get my tired hide outside this morning in the lovely weather - 49 degrees - and walk. It was beautiful. A bit damp from the rain we got last night but beautiful. I didn't realize how much I have missed walking each morning until I started again.
When I got home (sweating) I headed straight to the Wii where I proceeded to get even sweatier (if that was possible!). I did my Yoga and my strength training and one balance game. Eventually I hope to re-introduce the short weight lifting routine I used to do. However, one small baby step at a time, right?
Speaking of baby steps. . . look at this picture and try to see if you can find what is "wrong."
Have you figured it out? Yes! This "grid" is MUCH smaller than it was the last time I showed it to you. Why? Just to add to my week . . . I realized yesterday that I had made a major mistake in the grid - in the second row - and so I took everything out to redo it. Like it isn't taking me long enough to do this project in the first place! Mom is already working on "part two" of her project! She might be done before I even get this darn grid finished!
I had planned to have a quiet day today. I want to go to the DAC since I haven't been there for a couple weeks and then I was going to come home, take a nap, wake up and work on my crochet. Not happening.
*sigh*
I can hardly wait until next week - the fun of unpacking what I don't get done today PLUS a class on Wednesday night from 6 to 10!!!
Please keep praying for Linda. She needs strength and hope right now.
Trisha
Voice Update: Doing really well despite the fact that I almost choked to death yesterday on some orange juice! My SD makes swallowing tricky and there are times when some liquid or another "goes down the wrong way" and I choke. This is NOT fun and I end up coughing and red-faced and teary eyed before the experience is resolved. This is one reason many people with SD find it easier to drink all liquids through a straw - to minimize choking. The choking is NOT fun and seems to always happen at the worst time (I can even choke on my own spit!) like yesterday when I was in the middle of talking to a client at work!

The Neverending Work Week
Hi All!
This week just seems to be expanding and growing longer and longer. Even though today is my last work day of the week it just seems like it will never end! Yesterday was stressful for me at work. It started out slow and then . . . can you say avalanche?
By the end of the day I wasn't sure if I was coming or going and things just seemed to get out of control! Luckily, there isn't anything which is VITAL just stuff that the bosses want done ASAP.
Today I "get" to go back and try to figure out what I still need to do. Plus, I get to make signs for the office to tell patients that we have moved and for the neighboring offices to "apologize for the moving noise on Friday." Fun, fun.
Then I got some bad news about Linda. Apparently, she has been told that she will be on chemo for the rest of her life. She isn't sure about the strength of the chemo but she is really, really bummed. I can't say that I blame her at all. Please keep Linda in your prayers.
This is where I should show you a picture of my crocheting project. However, I didn't do any work on it last night so there is nothing new to show! I was so tired when I got home that I just couldn't imagine working on my crochet - even though I enjoy it! My eyes were/are tired because the lighting in the office isn't too good now that they removed the upper cabinets which had lights under them.
Anyway . . . I hope you all have a super day!
Trisha
Voice Update: Still holding my own. Susan was even happy with how things are sounding. We talked a bit about cutting down my sessions and decided to wait until after I stop working to see how things go after I am not using my voice as much as I have been.

Half Over and Yet Just Beginning!
Hi All!
Happy Wednesday! That means that the week is half over, right? If only it was the simple at work! This, you see, is the week the office is FINALLY moving! That means that everything has to be ready to move - by Friday! If you have ever watched an episode of the show "Hoarders" you have an idea about my working world lately!
In my office they have removed all of the cabinets and installed them in the new office. That means that everything in those cabinets -half of which I use daily - had to be packed. The stuff I use all the time is now in plastic tubs. Some stuff I used is packed up in larger tubs waiting to be moved so I just don't use it!
And then there are the patient files. Boxes and boxes and boxes of patient files. Patients who are not currently seeing the therapists but whose records they are required to keep for at least five years. Let me tell you, these four women see a LOT of clients!
I have been assigned the task of going through this multitude of boxes to cull out the client folders older than five years. Such fun! One therapist had her files labeled with the year of their last appointment - that made it easy to cull. The others . . . let's just say that the files are labeled NOW!
Plus, once all of the boxes and tubs and things are actually moved into the office, take a wild guess who they need/want to unpack everything for the office! Yep - me! So, basically, even if I am finished packing (which I am not), I am really only half done with the task.
Talk about making the week seem longer!
In other news -here is my daily crochet update.
Yesterday and this morning I have had a very "special" helper with my project. I'll bet that you can guess who it is! Yep. Skor.

"Hmmmm. I have watched Mommy do this for a while. I am pretty sure I can do it. First you grab this stick thing."
"Next you twist it. I think this is the way. Wait - there is something you need to do with that thread stuff. Too bad Mommy won't let me near it. Last night I helped Mommy by cutting that thread into pieces while she was working. I still don't understand why she knotted it back together!"
So far I have seven of the needed twenty seven rows of my grid completed. I am getting better at the whole crochet thing though and almost have how to hold the thread figured out. Now it is just a matter of time!

Oh My! Birds!
Hi All!
Well, the "blahs" are receding. They were helped on their way by the following sight while on my way to lunch with my friends. In fact, I did a u-turn (legal of course) and headed back to take some pictures.
There were HUNDREDS of gulls on this pond. It is a bit difficult to see in the pictures because I wasn't going to walk all the way around the pond (which is pretty big) in the cold (36 or so) to get a better shot. There were also some vultures/buzzards on the wing - HUGE wingspans!
The gulls all congregated on one side of the pond - near the road. I actually was in my car when I took this shot with my hazard lights on stopped at the side of the road. Luckily no one passed me while I took my shot!
Another shot of the birds in flight. The sheer number was amazing. Of course, I should mention that this pond is next to a landfill . . . 
This one was pretty nice. I look a bit loopy because I was the one doing the timer on the camera and then sitting down before it took the picture!
We have such fun when we get together! They are such great friends! They certainly helped to chase the "blahs" away!
I have to think that starting to crochet with a TINY hook and THIN thread might not be the best way to start! I was working on the chain that is the one side of the grid for almost all afternoon before I got it to the point where it was good enough to move on to starting the grid! Now I have to make the grid into a square . . . that might take me a while!
I will show you a picture each post to keep you informed. Aren't you excited?
Trisha
Voice Update: I freaked Hubby out when he got home by talking to him on the inhale. I needed to do some more inhale and wanted to talk to him at the same time so . . . it was convenient! I also did more massage yesterday - while watching TV and being frustrated with crocheting! My voice is pretty darn good at the moment! We will see how it is after a day at work!

Of course, I should mention that this pond is next to a landfill . . .Once I got to Starbucks to meet my friends I was in a bit of a better mood. Then we headed across the street to Cane's for lunch. This is my friend, Beth's, favorite restaurant (she is in the black hat in the photos).
We had a nice time eating and talking and catching up. Then we got a bit crazy with the photos!
This one was pretty nice. I look a bit loopy because I was the one doing the timer on the camera and then sitting down before it took the picture!Of course we had to take a "silly" one too!
We have such fun when we get together! They are such great friends! They certainly helped to chase the "blahs" away!After lunch I headed to Jo Ann's Fabrics hoping to pick up some bright, multi-colored thread for my hot pad project. They didn't have any! I was disappointed. I guess I might have to venture into Internet ordering IF I finish this hot pad and decide to embark on creating another.
Speaking of hot pads . . . I actually started crocheting yesterday. Hubby had to work late so I checked out Internet videos to get started. This is how far I got.
