busy bee

Today I was on my own where I volunteer for the last two hours. I gotta say I was excited and scared at the same time. What if more than one person came at a time? What if someone called? It went off without a hitch. Just had one visitor and he was someone who brings empty paper boxes that we use to give away layettes for new mothers. I love working here. Where else can you go and all you do is help people and listen to them? I caught up on reading and I organized some of the ROC's.

It wasn't fun though when my diverticulitis came back with a vengeance. I had not eaten all morning (only because I wasn't feeling hungry). I finally decided around noon that I could eat something so I warmed up some leftover frozen lasagna from the training day we had the week before. Well, let's just say that when they recommend a liquid diet while an attack is going on that they must mean it because, well, everything was quite liquid. I hate diverticulitis. AND, how come I don't lose weight during these attacks?!? Seriously, high fevers, not eating and that liquid stuff . . . lucky I guess. Working today and tomorrow to make up for the two half days that I missed last week due to diverticulits. I hate this disease FYI.

New term starts at school. I don't know how I'm going to get that homework and study done before Monday night when I'm working these two days and tomorrow is Mother's day and church. I may be a tad over extended. I considered not doing this summer session but I'm quite excited about my classes.

I just wanted to touch base. I'm supposed to be leaving this for my children and my grandchildren as a daily log of the life of their mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc., and I rarely write because I'm so busy. I love love love my children and my grandchildren. I pray for my grand-children's spouses and then their children.  I can't wait for tomorrow after church because I am going to Lindsay's house where we will all gather together to celebrate Mother's day with each other with our huge extended family that includes my sister and her children (who I love like my own). Sharon is in Michigan attending the graduation of David who we are all so proud of. I adore David. I keep watching his Facebook page trying to figure out which beautiful woman will be his wife. My front runner is this dark haired beauty. His Mom tells me that they are just friends but, it's my world and I can pick who I want!

Well I better get back to work. I'm doing drawings of Protection & Control for a substation using Autocad. I'm listening to the lectures for the two new classes as I work. I have to admit that I don't catch much but since I listen to them over and over I hope I remember some of the information.
