This is when the other shoe drops...

Chris is in Buffalo City. We find out tomorrow how long his Dad has. Unfortunately it is looking like hardly anytime as oppossed to more. Chris will be home tomorrow and we can figure out a game plan.
Work is stessful and this doesn't help the situation any. I finally stood up for myself today and told my boss she is pushing me too hard. I understand we are swamped but I am one person and I can only do so much. I know I shouldn't have but it needed to be said. Whether it will change to the situation or get me fired. Only time will tell.
Keep your fingers crossed time is nice not nasty...

Most importantly think of Chris and send him good vibes.

Lots going on

I have been slacking in the blogging, not because I have not wanted to blog. Rather there has been a lot going on. Chris's Dad has cancer. We are not sure how bad it is because he is too weak to tell us and his doctor is out of town. All we know is that it is throat cancer and they have to do surgery. His Grandmother is not doing very well either, so it has been a long couple of weeks.

Work has just been crazy - so much so that promised short days turn into 11 hour days.
It is good to be busy but someday I would like to leave on time and eat lunch.

I have decided to start taking better care of myself.
As afraid as I am of the gym I have decided to start going.
I hate how I feel and want to try to feel better.

I am going to cut out my sugars and caffeine as I have discovered those are my new addictions.
I get to host both the 70's and 80's show next weekend so I am pretty excited.

Even though there is a lot of bad and crazy there is a lot of good going on too.

I love naps...

I am becoming old. I am enjoying the naps a lot.
Just woke up from a two hour one. Which I feel is justified as I did a remote this AM and have a 5 hour shift tonight.
Looking forward to tomorrow, Chris is home all day and I am making us dinner.
Spring is here and I can't help but be in a good mood.

Hello My Name is...

Caprise and I am a binge eater.

Not really intentionally. Just been so crazy at work lately I haven't gotten a chance to eat. I have been living off a steady diet of diet soda, coffee, gum, and the occasional skittle. When I get home I am so hungry I eat whatever is handy.

Work has just been nuts and to be honest this is only a taste of things to come.
Since we are running so tight sometimes people catch us at the worst moments and we can be short. I feel so bad that I may have made someone feel like a number. I have always tried to make people feel valued. Now I am making people feel like crap.
Not good.

Need to work on my attitude, just hard when you are the only one in the office, in an interview, all the lines are ringing, and 3 people just walked in.
I am just saying...

The Longest and "Funnest" day I have had in a long time...

Tonight after work I went to my other job and helped answer phones.
We are having a drive to get a Gilda's Club built in Madison.
What a nice group of people - it is amazing how committed everyone is to making this happen.

People making donations were sharing stories that would break your heart.
I had a lady call who said she could only donate $10 right now because she is going through chemo and doesn't have much money. If she has more she will call back...

I also donated $20, money is tight for us but I couldn't not help.
I wish there had been a Gilda's Club here when my aunt died...

In 3 Months...

I will coming back from my first week long vacation since I got married.
I am flying out East to see my folks. They have taken time off then as well and already have some day trips planned.
I will be going to Washington D.C. and Baltimore.
As well as some other sites my folks want to take me too.

June will not be here soon enough!

Let a new chapter begin :)

It's Friday -love Friday 'cause that means it is the weekend.
Which means a break. Granted I work on Saturday nights but it is so fun I feel guilty I am paid.
(Don't tell my boss :)!)

I am going to be adding another adventure to my life in the form of a side business. Not going to spill the beans yet in case it crashes and burns.
I am pretty excited and surprised at the support I am getting and where from.

I am making 2 really great friends at work and that helps make the day go.
I get to see my folks in a few months and have my best bud's wedding to look forward to.

Good times...
