My Sweet Husband

Samantha had a follow up appointment with the surgeon yesterday morning. They took off her bags and 2 of her 3 tubes. Hopefully at the next visit in two weeks she will have the last one removed. Both Shawn & ex practiced with the catheters. I stayed off to the side as someone wasn't happy I was in the room. I originally was going to stay out as I was told the rooms were very small. When I mentioned to the staff that I was going to stay out, I was told there was enough room for all of us. It was stressful but I think it went well.

When we got home from the appointment, Shawn talked to his boss on the radio and was told they didn't have a truck for him. Therefore, he didn't have to go to work. He then decided that we would pack some food and our swimsuits. We then headed to Sandusky. We spent about an hour at Soak City and then went into Cedar Point. It was a good stress relief for both of us.

We both go back to work today. Shawn is already at work and I work 3-7. We might have a friend from Ohio up to visit for a few days.

Pancakes & Sausage

That's what I'm currently eating for breakfast. I thought for sure I would get up to find that Shawn had taken it with him to work. It's leftovers from dinner last night. I had planned on sausage, eggs and toast. Shawn decided he wanted pancakes too. Well, he got what he wanted. I had just sausage and eggs last night. I made up a container though with 3 pancakes and 4 sausage links and that's what I'm eating.

I'm a little more "perky" today. I heard Shawn get up this morning but I didn't get out of bed. I was comfy cozy.

Working today 3-7. We'll see how that goes. I was only scheduled 3-7 yesterday. I had been out running errands and got done faster than I thought. Therefore, I headed to work rather than home as I was closer to work. I arrived about 1:35. I went and put my bag away and was getting ready to go check out some things in the store when I got asked about covering the studio. The way my manager asked was not the best way so I didn't understand what she wanted at first. When I hesitated, she blew up at me. I kept my calm, especially since this was right in front of the trainer. I basically asked her, "What do you want me to do"? Turns out the manager wanted to go home (scheduled 10-7), the trainer had a "splitting headache" and wanted to go back to the hotel room and the other associate was going to take the manager's hours but needed to get something to eat. If it had all been explained to me like that, I would have not hesitated.

Exhausted

That's how I felt yesterday when I got home. Original schedule was 2-6. On Saturday I got told 10-7. I worked 10-8 taking maybe 15 minutes to scarf down my leftovers from dinner out the night before. I got home about 8:30 to Shawn jokingly saying "You remembered where you live". He had been expecting me to get off at 7:00 and I didn't have the time to call him and tell him it would be later. He made battered fish filets, mac & cheese w/tuna, mixed veggies for dinner. I was in bed just after 10. I did wake up shortly before Shawn left around 5:30 but then I crawled back in bed. The alarm went off at 7 so I've been up just over an hour.

Quick Check-In

Just checking in real quick. Originally I was scheduled 2-6 for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I ended up working 9-6:30. Sunday I am now scheduled 10-7.

One good thing about this evening was I didn't have to cook. Shawn, Nicholas & I went to BD's Mongolian Barbecue for dinner. Shawn & I have been there numerous times (we had our first date there) but it was Nicholas' first time.

Dinner and training

This was last night's dinner. I cooked up some frozen hamburgers and then cut them up. I heated them up with a family size can of cream of mushroom soup and served over rice with peas on the side.

Today starts digital training at my job. I'm interested in seeing what our camera room looks like with the table missing. I'm nervous about going digital since I'm worked with our film system for the past 7 1/2 years. Training is from 3-7 today and 1-9 tomorrow.

Also, Samantha is having some complications from her surgery and therefore will have to be in a certain position for several months on a specialty mattress. Due to that fact, we will not be able to bring her to our home. We will be having to make visits with her at Shawn's ex's residence.

Shawn just called me and told me I don't have to plan a dinner tonight. His work is having their Safety Barbecue today. He plans on waddling in the door tonight. Therefore, we are doing YOYO for tonight.
