Nerdy post. I have just purchased lens cleaner. My glasses, phone and ipad had my hair product all over it, was driving me crazy. That is all :)

First off, Happy May Day. It is a little cloudy out and feels a little cold as well.

One of my coworkers gave me a case with a keyboard for my iPad, cause she wanted a Smart Cover, which i have. we traded. I'm totally stoked about this. Its a pretty small keyboard but i will adjust to it. I can use this for school work now, i am taking a distant ed on line course.

I haven't rambled on this site in awhile. Where to start. I know, how about with, im actually in college again. If things go right I will complete my AAS next spring in Human Services. UAA does a 2+2 program. AAS first and then a BA for this degree program. My first instructor who is my advisor i believe is pretty cool. It's nice learning from someone who is as big a dork as I am. I will find out what my grades are friday. I am only taking 6 credits. In my defense I do work full time :)

My oldest son is working again. Proud of him. My youngest is looking for employment. Slowly.

My brother has a new job, two weeks on two weeks off. Yes, he got a slope job. Pretty quiet at my place now, with everyone working here there and everywhere.

had good intentions to do a 24 hour liquid diet, yeah, it's 230 in the afternoon and I am waiting for my costco dog haha. I did well. mostly :)

well, I'm going to end this here. I now have something i can blog with again, so i may start kicking these out...maybe

Have a good day :)

Well, it's been awhile, I've been too busy. Totally need to make the time to just stop. Rest.
My youngest son is home now. His dad made a choice and Tommy made his. This weekend was a whirlwind, but we got him a room set up and he is settling in.
I registered him online for school through a home school program here in Anchorage so he can fast track graduation. My boy has plans :)
I was fostering an 11 week old kitten who was badly beaten by a coworkers roommate. My animals are still anxious and stressed, so tomorrow another coworker and I are going to contact a local rescue agency to see if they can take over looking for a new home for "lil bit". He is a loving cat and I hope he finds a good home.
Fall is here. The grounds dudes were clearing away the fallen leaves today, so I gave them all a cola. My appreciation for the dog poop they cleaned up in the process. lol.
Tomorrow is paint the rink pink, the aces yearly preseason opener. I am going with the same friends I did last year, plus others, we rallied up 18 people this time. woot woot.
Nov 8th, mark your calendars, they will be releasing Angry Birds Star Wars. My sister texted that to me, and I read it when I was on the treadmill. I almost fell off, I was that excited. Yes, if you are reading this and do not know me, I'm a huge dork.
Okay, my dogs are protesting, they want to go to bed. I need to oblige. They are so wise when it comes to proper sleep...for themselves. They have no problem waking me for nonsense reasons.
Have a good day.

Today has been a little rough and long. Still feeling yesterdays adventures. I experienced my first complete loss of balance. That was supper scary, and a tad painful. My saving grace though was all the tripping I did on construction sites payed off, as I managed to hit the ground without doing a face plant...yay.
It reminded me of the time I fell off of the fuel dock when I was 21. I remember being at an angle and the realization that I was going down. Well, it was like that last night.
It was dark out, wet dark ground, I stepped and my foot came down on a pebble, and I lost complete orientation of which way was up, down or sideways. I went down. I had been walking my dogs and was able to maintain a grip on the leashes, so thats a bonus.
I am not looking forward to more of those, but that happens to be a sad reality for me.
Today, I am taking it easy. I did go to the store for some dinner. I appreciate my family and friends who can help me out when I need it.
I built a fire in my fireplace last night, it was interesting. I have some fire building skills to hone, it only took me three attempts to get the fire going haha. It was nice once it took though. I'm excited to build another one here in an hour or so.I have enough wood for maybe two more fires. I should invite my cousin Shawn over, we can build a fire now, and not get our butts whooped...lol.
Well, I'm going to wrap this up, I hope everyone is having a great labor day weekend.

It's been quite the week. The pinnacle was my car dying on me on my way to work. I'm done with it, it's going up for sale. I don't even care if I only get 100 for it. Okay, maybe a little more than that.
I decided I will support the local people mover :) and save 150 bucks a month. I'm cool with that.
Work is going well, they are talking about paying for clinical associates who want to get their CDC certificate, even though they have a tendency to not follow through, I volunteered anyway. I figured, may as well, bonus if they follow through.
My beagle has taken to playing with her food. She tosses it up and pounces on it, it's cute. Yes, I believe she is crazy.
We came up with an excuse at work if we "accidentally" forget to clock out on some days, we tell our boss that we have mathematics disorder...lol. It's legit. Although if that doesn't fly, we fall back on cognitive disorder, nos. haha.
I forgot what else I was going to blog about. must not be to important, since I so easily forgot.
Have a good day.

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged. I've been busy. :). On friday, I went to dinner with some friends, one of which is my only follower lol...http://krissysakcrochet.blogspot.com/ a little shout out for her, she crochets and has some nice hats she has posted in her blog. Kris and I have known each other forever, with many fun adventures under our belts.
Work slowed down again, which, is okay. Last week a coworker was like a fricken cyclone, she pulled in a bunch of people cause she was going to need help with the med providers caseload. Well, in the 4 days I've been helping I received 2 calls and one transfer request. lol, yup she was sooooo busy and needed all the help she could get...NOT!! I am keeping track of the work I do. I will add here, I have no problem helping my coworkers out, but she sent out an email, delegating work, got a meeting pulled together with the manager, the med provider, and myself to hash out details. I ended the meeting telling them what I would and would not do. lol. I've been told that I am one of the few people who could do that. I try not to abuse it...with great power, comes great responsibility...
I had to pick up another splitter for my internet/cable/phone again. It goes out all the time. So when I got a new one, i wrote the date on it so I can monitor the situation. It's very frustrating when my internet goes out.
One of my favorite new shows is on, Alphas. It's syfy, my fav.
Well, I need to fry me some chicken and mash me up some taters...dinner time.
Hope you have a great day.

I called in today. I have been feeling the effects of the on again, off again rainy weather for too long. Even though it was nice outside, I called in. I did feel dizzy, so I took advantage, and I sat on my recliner all day long :) and I searched for ancient relics and artifacts in the ruins of peru. I was the tomb raider.
I'm still exhausted, but I do feel better. So the day was successful.
My son Zacho called me yesterday, to tell me he signed his first electoral petition, I was quite proud of that, and even more so that he called to share it with me. It makes me happy, reminds me of all the phone calls to my parents when I did something different, or new. He is getting there, I love that boy.
My son Tommy started his junior year today, I am waiting to hear all about it. For the record I love that boy as well.
My son's are not perfect, but the are perfect for me.
MMM, made Zach and I some bacon turkey burgers for dinner, they taste spectacular.
I took all three dogs last night for a walk. They were pretty well behaved and they all enjoyed it. Then when we got home they ran around the yard for a little while, and then came in. I made a pork and cabbage stirfry, similar to my moms, ate and went to bed. Oh, and I even bailed on the gym this morning, which I had difficulty doing, but as much as I want to lose weight I really need to respect and listen to my limits.
Zach and his friend Denali raked the yard for me tonight AND he scooped up the poop into bags and through them into the dumpster. Good kids, I gave him a few bucks and told Denali to make sure he bought her a soda or something.
Ugh, I still have laundry to do, only one load though, I can do everything else Sunday. Ah, I'm rambling. I have lots to share, I just can't seem to get it to come out, So I will end this here. Have a great day.
