First thing's first, Happy Birthday Dad! 61. We had a nice dinner and some German Chocolate cake...mmm....

So I'm still struggling with congestion and my voice comes and goes, but I was absolutely miserable for the wedding. I was SO sick, but luckily I stayed doped up on DayQuil enough to get through it. The ceremony was gorgeous- we had a beautiful ( Read more... )

I'm about to leave for my brother's wedding this morning when I woke up with a fever, chills, headache, nausea, and swollen throat! Not now, not now, not now............can you believe this?!

So here's a question for ya: should I make a speech/toast at Carey's wedding? Am I expected to?

I'm pretty sure Corey will since he's the best man...it's a very small wedding party....shit.

Ideas anyone?

So ya know how excited I've been about Rosco?

First "real" week done. Whew. I met with some families and immediately felt connected. In the first family, the connection was with the daughter (the actual client) since the poor mom felt horribly defeated by the whole mental health bullshit system.

I've gone through conduct disorder and ADHD, and I'm now studying personality disorders, since I've been forewarned that the ( Read more... )

We've got margaritas, an ocean in front of us to watch, and lots of nap time. :) Yesterday the sting rays were jumping up and doing flips out of the ocean and this ( Read more... )

So I went in this morning to negotiate my salary and discuss the compensation package at my new job. I was all pumped up to stick to this one figure that everyone around me was telling me to push for. Personally, I thought this figure was a bit high for someone in my position- that is, someone unlicensed and just out of grad school. But I kept ( Read more... )

It's a nice feeling. A very secure, warm kind of feeling. And I got the call just as I was starting to get tired of pet sitting. I mean this week has been nuts. Up at 7am to go straight to appointments that don't stop until 10pm. It's just impossible to get much done inbetween them because I'm just so tired or don't have enough time to spare before ( Read more... )
