Bob's Day

Yesterday was Bob's birthday. I promised him a day of anything he wanted to do. We had Breakfast at one of the more "upscale" restaurants on property. He wore his "birthday" button for the first half of the day. Then it "magically" disappeared, and he couldn't seem to find it. (Convenient was it not?)

Next we went to the park closest to the restaurant and saw friends, walked, walked, walked, got back on the monorail, picked up the car from valet (naturally) and went home to meet a friend from Pasco that came over for the day. She and I went to a movie while Bob took a nap. By then, it was time to go to the park where we had dinner reservations at an Italian restaurant. Bob also 'conveniently' found a "cell" (painted cellophane of a character and scene) that he didn't have. He wanted that for his present. This one was $225. (He has expensive tastes.)

We rode 3 rides Vicki had never ridden. (We've seen most everything at all of the parks.) And, ate at a restaurant she had never eaten at where Bob wanted to eat. (I had made reservations last month) and then went to see the "fireworks" they have. We got home about 11.

Evidently I did too much because I was sick this morning and had to cancel a Dr appt. I could hardly move and was nauseated. I have another Dr appt on Monday. We'll see what happens there. I BELIEVE IN SUPPORTING THE AMA.

Wiener has been beside me all day. She seems to sense when I don't feel well and sticks to me like glue. My cousin called and she is in town; 6 people from GA are coming tomorrow and want to get into the park Thurs and Sat. Bob has given them tickets to his park. He is becoming more generous with his tickets. He really has a big heart; he just doesn't want anyone to know. Charles says I'm just too popular. Yeah. That's it.

WHEW!

Because of increasing health problems and lots of "stuff" going on in my life, I have asked for and been granted a "Personal Leave of Absence" from work. During this time, I will be having testing, off and on, on an outpatient basis. I asked for 30 days and my manager has given me 20; more than I expected but less than I wanted. (It's called compromise) I appreciate her understanding and cooperation. She is great to work with and for.

There will be times I cannot immediately answer my phone, so if you can't reach me, just leave a message and I will get back to you when I am able.

Stay tuned for the next great episode.

Life in General

The shift "thingey" is unusual, to say the least. I like sleeping late, but I don't like working that late. Some shifts I have changed with other workers that needed a late day, so that meant that I worked until 11 and had to be back at work around 7:30 am the next day. That is hard for my and "Weens" bodies to get adjusted.
She usually goes to bed with Bob around 7, gets up to greet me when I come home, and goes "potty", eats, and goes to sleep with me when I finally get to bed. It's crazy. She is sleeping at all kinds of weird hours. In fact, these picture show how tired she was the other day. She couldn't decided whether to sleep "On her Mickey pillow" or "Under her Mickey pillow." Decisions are hard.
