Office Work.......

Did I mention on here my weird jaw popping thing that happened the other night? I was at my fave mexican joint drinking margaritas and eating a tostaguac (tostada plus beans plus guacamole on top. LOTS OF GUAC YUM)....and then the right side of my jaw kept POPPING as I was chewing. It was kind of gross. It happened quite a few times. i eventually stopped eating so I wouldn't make it worse.

The next day my jaw on that side was SO SORE. I can't even explain how sore it is. But the overall mouth pain has decreased a bit. I honestly think my jaw has been slightly "out" this WHOLE TIME. Now that it has popped back into place, it is incredibly sore on that side. So I am still taking advil. But to compare, yesterday I took 8 instead of 15. I've taken 6 already today just because of how sore it is.....but the overall pain is definitely less.

I just want to pull them all out and get dentures. Regardless of the jaw issue, I do need at least 1 root canal/crown, more likely 2.

Yup, I remember about the jaw pop thing. Glad you are feeling slightly better!

Cheese, tater chips, 1 sudafed & 1 Alleve. What a nutritious breakfast....


Y'know what? I found out yesterday that the doctor that was my gyn for 17 years, and delivered my oldest, was diagnosed with Lou Gherig's Disease late last year and given 6 months to live. He's surprised them by lasting over a year. He can't talk, is on a respirator, and has recently lost his ability to smile (but still smiled up to that point). Makes me think my issues are really not so bad after all. My latest lesson on perspective....

Every morning I answer the phone "Good afternoon" and all afternoon I say "good morning". It's not deliberate, it just comes out that way unless I pause for a moment to remember the actual time of day.
90% of the callers pay absolutely no attention to this. 5% laugh and move on. The remaining 5% argue with me.
First one today: "Isn't it actually morning?" Um, no, I've been awake long enough that I consider afternoon. He laughed.
Next one: " What time zone are you in?" I'm in my own world, time is irrelevant. He said, "Oh. OK..."

I keep waiting to be told I'm being unprofessional.
Then I remembered that I work in an office with a toddler and labrador upstairs. I have the owner of the company's friend helping transport some chickens (potentially). I stole his laptop battery shipping box for shipping eggs in. I have candles burning behind my desk.

Guess unprofessional is SOP around her....

Howdy, y'all. I've been busy - ran errands while Ella was at preschool, did my share of office work and now I have 45 minutes to tidy the house before the older kids get home and I have to start dinner. Hopefully tomorrow will be quieter!

to all!

My house smells like cake!

I made 2 batches of zucchini bread batter which equaled 12 mini loaves of bread. There was a 1/2 pan that had to be donated for taste-testing (don't cha hate it when that happens? Me neither). It passed the test. Pretty darn tasty, actually...

The pound cake is finishing baking right now. Smells yummy. Lemon cream cheese pound cake.
I ran out of eggs

I'll bake another pound cake or two tomorrow night.

HellooOOooOoOoOooOoo!
Hello?
Hay-Low??
Is there anybody out there???



I had a broken slice of pound cake for breakfast. It was tasty. Not as lemony as I had expected, but still very yummy.
DD said she liked it, that when you first put it in your mouth you got a little whiff of lemon and from then on it was just GOOD. Then she said she was wrong. It was HORRIBLE cake and we should probably keep it and make something else for the bake sale.

I've read about you and your eyeball-eating habits.
I think we're having batwings and cobwebs for dinner tonight.

Or burritos.

It depends on how ambitious I feel.

I was going to have microwave popcorn for lunch, but a coworker just handed me a sausage biscuit from McD's. I'll put it on ice and heat it up around lunchtime. I'm too full of cake to eat a sausage biscuit right now. Besides the broken slice, there were a LOT of crumbs that needed to be 'put away' this morning.

Yeah, I'm out there all right! Got fussed at by my office manager already this morning. Seeing as how I'm trying to be more like a Spirit-filled Christian these days (yeah, a stretch I know!), I didn't argue, didn't fuss back, didn't justify myself - just kept my snarky mouth shut. So now the office manager is in a good mood and all is well. Except I'm going to go out to my car, get my axe, and be on the front page news tomorrow.

I keep my mouth shut while I'm being scolded, but it's because it's easier to give them that "Are you a complete idiot?" look. And as I listen I am assured that yes, indeed, the lecturer is a complete and total idiot.

We're here for ya Buffy. But forget about the axe. You'll get a rep that will scare the chickens. They'd be running, screaming, "Oh splort! She's gonna EAT US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
