We've just about made it to week 23 (Thursday is the day our weeks turn over). I can't believe how quickly the time is going by. Bean is definitely doing a lot of wriggling around, mostly in the afternoon and then again in the evening. The movements are getting stronger, too. I'm rather enjoying this part, I must say. It makes it a lot more ( Read more... )

Quick drive-by posting to say how proud I am of the Mozilla folk and their release of Firefox 3. I'm particularly proud of my hubby, who has been getting some press on the stuff he's been working on, like this. Nice :).

Got word from my sister about an hour ago that Dad was out of recovery and resting in his room. Everything went as expected, and he's doing okay, save some nausea from the anesthesia. He's even got his own self-propelled morphine drip, which I'm sure is contributing to the "doing okay ( Read more... )

Dad's surgery is tomorrow morning, bright and early. I've been doing pretty well thus far, but now it's staring me in the face, and I'm starting to feel anxious. I'm sure I'll be fine again once I get the call from Mom saying that all went well, but right now, the emotional bits of my brain are fighting against the logical "they do this surgery ( Read more... )

LJ has informed me, on the main page, that I haven't posted in 8 weeks. Well then. This time around, a decent amount of stuff has been going on, I just haven't written it down, and I really should. Unfortunately I'm posting on my lunch break, so I can't exactly compose a super-long entry, nor will anyone read it, if I do. Let's go one thing at ( Read more... )

In the time since my last post (er...5 weeks ago), my dad went back to the specialist with my mom in tow and together decided that he would have surgery to remove his prostate. His other option, radiation, would apparently make future surgery (if necessary) more difficult, so he decided to do surgery, and then radiation if it's necessary. The ( Read more... )

Here are a few quick things that I wanted to talk about that have come up in the last 24 hours...

One of the analysts was putting together an email for a client, a corrected Retirement statement for a member, which was missing some information the first time we sent it out. She meant to put "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused ( Read more... )

And now, for the bulleted monthly update list. A lot has been happening in the last month, actually...the last few entries have said "not much is new", but we've been keeping ourselves busy in October.

• We redecorated our master bedroom, which included paint, furniture (from Johnathan's old coworker), a new light fixture, and new horizontal blinds ( Read more... )

Okay, not a real post, I've got tomorrow off, so I'm going to try to do one then. In the meantime, has anyone seen this WSIB commercial on tv ( Read more... )

For the last few days, my department had been preparing for an internal sort of process audit, where a few employees from other offices come to review our department processes, to be sure we're doing things efficiently and all that other sort of stuff that's typically reviewed in a process audit. Sorry, a "Work Excellence Review". ( More work rambling here... )
