It's been a bit hectic in real life land recently.

The other night my dad fell in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if he got up and tripped or if he actually fell out of bed. In any case it was very scary. My mom had to come get me to help him because he couldn't get up and she couldn't get him up. So that was a no sleep night. Took the next day off work. Also, he's having an MRI this week as they Dr. thinks he may have had a mild stroke. Scary stuff.

Meanwhile I have either added a new and fun allergy to the mix or really ramped up my latex allergy. No one seems to be sure which. I have to make an appointment with the allergist for tests. In the meanwhile I have this lovely sea of welts down my arms and sides. So lovely. Doc. prescribed Prednisone. No way. I am not taking it. I'm not that uncomfortable. That stuff makes you fat and nasty and I am already fat and nasty enough thank you very much. Okay, maybe chubby and nasty. But, my shiny new health insurance is a wonderful thing and it only cost me $15 to go have it checked out.



In happier news I am loving my new video editing assignment at work! OMG, it's so fantastic to be able to be creative and to have quite a bit of leeway in which to do it. It's also very possible that I could be working with video of a certain tall dark and sexy man. Keeping my fingers crossed. Also, my new dual processor machine rocks. It's is blazingly fast and you can practically hear an engine purring under the hood. I'm in love with it and everyone else at work is v.v. jealous. Oh, and I was the top seller last month. Which probably isn't anything to brag about since I'm not, y'know, a sales person. Not sure exactly how that happened. Either I managed to talk a whole lot of tech support folks into upgrading or I just happened to grab the phone a lot when people were calling in wanting to buy some new service. Either way I get the commisions.

So, speaking of tech support folks, I had a guy call me today because his phone and his internet didn't work. These two things probably aren't related to each other since his internet has nothing to do with his phone lines. So I tackle internet first, because I know internet and computers. Phone, not so much but I can get by or pass it along. I have him reboot his computer and he's on. Since that took so much skill I moved on to his phone. I asked him to move the phone ( he only has one) to another phone jack, just in case it's a dead jack. I hear this guy fumbling around then he says, "Oh, nevermind, I see the problem, it's not plugged in." Easiest troubleshooting the history of ever.

Let's see, what else has been going on in my little world...oh, my sister got a new house. Guess I'll be helping with moving. August 1st is really a poor choice of moving day for people who live in FL I must say. Anticipate whining. I've been taking some scrapbooking classes. I love it. Getting out of the house, away from the computer and playing with paper and glue and stickers. It's like regressing to grammar school. I highly recommend it.

I've got two disney trips coming up. One is October and one in December. October was supposed to be one night, just for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party. But we decided to add a day. And just now I added a third day. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm one of those people who very rarely takes a day off or calls out but boy do I count the days to vacation and when I'm gone, I'm gone. I don't even think about work. I wonder how Gus would feel about Halloween at WDW? hmm....
