Has it been that long?

I greatly apologize in my delay! I know you were barely holding on to life without my daily words...hahahahaha yea..
Well, yes it's 12:20 and I am drinking coffee! I am not motivated to update or anything. I am going to do my best!

So Mike & I were able to work together on Weds night! The other girl that was suppose to work with me bailed last night (well 4 hrs prior to the event start time)! So luckily Steve was over & we just asked him to stay for a few hours until we returned! Once again...we failed to take pictures! We are majorly slacking. We use to take pictures of ourselves everywhere we went. Not so much lately. Thurs, Fri, & Sat just all run together like it was one day. I had a dermatology appt Friday...yay it's just a mole on my arm...?! & I got some meds for my Eczema--of course the PA didn't believe me I've had it like all my life. We did a garage sale Fri & Sat at Mike's grandmother's house. They have been loong loong days-but so worth it! Need to get rid of so much stuff! Least we made some progress this wkend! We had a groupon for the Melting Pot & needed to use it prior to expiring, so we ate ate ate there on Friday for dinner.
Oh then Sat I broke my phone screen. Luckily it's not totally broken...yet. I'm notorious for dropping/breaking things. That's why I had the otterbox on my last phone! I was just sitting, went to get my phone out of my pocket & boom! down for the count. Oh and silly me...I thought having the Sprint insurance would do good. I was scammed! Last phone stopped charging 1 1/2 mths before the contract was up...they wouldn't do anything about it--because I didn't have insurance. So I waited to upgrade...next bill what happens? They charge me full price instead of upgraded price. Thanks Sprint...that's how you treat someone that's been with you ever since she's had a phone....12 years!!! So get that fixed and now with my insurance to fix this phone it's going to cost me $150 but shipping is free. REALLY? I can get my phone for free at wal-mart. How is $150 a fraction of retail price?

So I will be stuck with my phone. Already wasted $100 for insurance. So anyone have any recommendations on phone carriers? I've always loved Sprint...but the last 6mths....they have disappointed me greatly!

I have to give props to Collage.com. Ordered 2 prints from them. 1 of them was a collage & the customer service rep helped--I could not for the life of me get our faces in all the boxes. Then I told you Mike's present was horrible...that was the 2nd order. I looked it up, it was my fault. Totally admit that. However, I'd expect the company to see it & say this is horrific, cannot be on purpose, & confirm order. Nope! This print was completely useless. It will be put in the burn pile...unless they want it back. I didn't realize I needed to change it from portrait to landscape. Well, yet again, they blew me away. They are letting me redo the order! I feel bad...but I can't believe a professional would let it go through like that.
So I ordered that this morning, started laundry, cleaned out my car, now it's dishes, workout fold laundry before Shellie's son's birthday party. Yep Gpa is up & I'm going to attempt to take him. We will see. Her son really like's Gpa.

Gpa has been good. His foot is healing. Still stubborn but that's him! He did walk in on me in the bathroom this morning. That's always a nice surprise. Oh, & Friday, when I tucked him in he asked me what the doctor said. It means the world that he asked! For one he remembered! 2...he hasn't ever expressed too much emotion until recently. So to have him ask :) :) :) brought me smiles!

Did I bore you yet? Nothing that exciting or funny lately...yet. Just wait, just around the corner!


-------------------UPDATE----------------

So, to let you know, between Mike & me...we have roughly 35 years of customer service/sales experience. We pay deep attention to sales/customer service while we are out and about. Whether we are at a restaurant or a store...we'll listen to sales pitches from across the room, look at body language, etc etc. We find it very entertaining. So when we experience good customer service I review it on yelp, their personal site, their manager (when did at the melting pot Friday night). When it's bad....we do the same! We have tipped a bus boy more than a waiter, a house keeper helping us find our way through a hotel...people that aren't expecting tips.
Well we have already disowned Best Buy because of multiple bad experiences. Now I'm also quitting CVS! So upset with them. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. cooking dinner.

Quiche

I'll explain the title later...because it's a great story.
I don't have tie now...go figure.
I am just soooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed.
I had bought Mike a Christmas present, just got here and isn't as good as I had envisioned! :(
UGH.....
okay, I'll update later. I just took my pre-jym & need to utilize the benefits of it after I finish paperwork for 2 companies! Then laundry, dishes, lunch for the boys...maybe update...then work tonight!

Update:

Well...Quiche:
So Mike and I went on a cruise right before we brought Gpa home from the nursing home. We needed a moment for ourselves...& that's when he proposed. :) Our cruise director was absolutely hilarious! I mean amazing. He was from Britain. He told us a story about a time when he was in a restaurant. His waitress asked what he would like to order and he stated "a quickie". She was taken back...obviously because he said quickie instead of quiche. yeah much funnier said in person but what made what made it more funny & disturbing is that Mike's grandparents got the joke so quickly!!

It was pretty great. I was getting Gpa ready for a shower & he asked me "you sleeping with me tonight or Michael?" hahahahaha! I replied, "I think I'll stick with sleeping with one member of the family". Oh dear. It can be so much fun sometimes.

Every night, when I tuck him in either while I give him a hug or after he tells me "Bless Your Heart". That is truly what gets me through some days.

Silly Me!

I thought I would have a day to play catch up! Don't I learn by now?
First off here's some pics from Sat. Sadly we didn't get any pics of us together :(

Gpa was up & dressed but didn't want to go to church. Sad story, but it's a step closer I reckon. Instead we we joined our friends Steve, Karen & their kiddos at this Ocala Cracker old time festival thingy. It was fun. Then we had to drive an hr to get gpa's meds! ugh! we were exhausted.

Today I'm playing catch up! Finally. Friday night when I was working a girl told me about BA groups on fb that had more agencies & jobs posted...so I'm working on getting my profiles set for them, getting my mileage of the jobs I have performed/booked, getting caught up on gpa's medications (always have 2wks filled), laundry, basic cleaning (toilets, sweeping, etc), figure out grocery list, get ready for garage sale 2...& help my gf with her resume. ok...guess I better get to work... but i'll leave ya with this

Is it suspenseful?

You know...never knowing when I'm going to update. Darn I'm trying to do this everyday up date stuff, it ain't easy!!

So last night was crazy crazy. Like I said, I was the manager for this morning's event....& they didn't finish booking my staff until 11:47pm last night. That's okay because we knocked out this morning's event! It was awesome. We were at the Fan Fest at the University of Gainesville.  Soo busy & so much fun. I'll get a few pics up asap!

I got to visit with Mike's cousin which is always amazing! Then I cleaned up the house since it has been neglected last few days. Laundry, dishes, etc etc. Mike had to work this morning's shift & also 12-5. He just got home with dinner. Gpa's shower is in progress...it takes him about an hr to get ready for bed.

Later crew

Short & Sweet

So it's been sooooo busy! here's another cliff note :

Yesterday...I found my wedding dress! I never believed the statement "you'll just know" but omg I felt it...I was all giddy and couldn't stop smiling.

I worked last night too busy busy but great event.
I didn't get to bed til after 1 am this morning we & left at 8am to head to Mike's gma's house. We were going to prep for the garage sale but we never got that far. Ran around all day then I had an event out 1 hr & 1/2 away

My other big news...aside from my dress!!!! Is that gpa asked "where is nay"? May sound odd but normally I'm the "cook", "squirt", or "the girl".
Have an event tomorrow morning that I'm managing. 7:30-12...be back latz!!!

Am I self-fish?

One day it will be smooth! Haha I don't believe it. Tuesday night I received an emergency call from one of the promo jobs asking for help for additional days. I was already booked & asked Mike if he would be interested. We found people to cover (watch gpa) for us today & Sat so yesterday morning I did paper work to get Mike signed up. Ugh. Mike hasn't needed a resume...ever! I had to make one yesterday...let me say it wasn't my best work.
Took me 2ish hours to get gpa up so I could take him to his doc appt. He has a toe infection & needs to see a foot doc. I hate feet...am I self-fish for not touching his dead toe nail? BY the way!!! I mentioned his toe nail at his first doc appt after bringing him home from the nursing home (we went 2 days after I brought him home bc there were 15 pills--or more & 3 eyedrops). They said no worries...it'll be fine...& look here...something! Ugh. That's why I hate retroactive care! Never a problem until AFTER!
All I got done yesterday was my weight-training & 2 rounds of mountain climbers, laundry, cleaning our george forman & getting the Christmas tree out of the box (before the appt). I did weigh while there with shoes & just ate & I had lost about 2lbs since last time I weighed! Woot!
Didn't get back to the house til late last night, I cheated & Mike called our nearest (only restaurant) food place & ordered it to go. I still had more laundry last night to do & sheets to put on the bed! I did get to talk to restaurant about catering for our wedding..it sounded promising. Although, in all our free time we need to travel down there & try it.
Today I am trying on some wedding dresses! I have been one other time & only tried on 4 dresses. I'm doing this alone...which kinda sucks.
Oh...well I found a live frog in the house just now. I let it outside. Then I found the chicken I planned on cooking last night leaked all in the fridge. So I'm going to clean all that up, do some much needed yoga & get ready for wedding dress & my job tonight. Oh & def think I now need to make coffee!

"It's like you have a kid..."

Ugh...anyone else get this comment from others? No, care giving for an Alzheimer's patient is not like having a kid!

This is a 77 year man that is set in his ways. Has his somewhat routine....and wants his pistol, pocket knife, & truck. Does that sound like a little kid? Yes, he may be picky about the food eats...& refuses to eat veggies...but that is about the only similarity. If he doesn't want to go somewhere...guess what....we aren't going! He is strong & physically capable of whatever he wants. If he doesn't want to get out of bed...well...he doesn't get out of bed.

So I have been working...and applying and have jobs coming up! YAY! I do "promo" jobs. Since my fiance does day trading right now & will be opening up his own store in the new year...doesn't really make sense for me to look for a full time job for just a couple months. Sat. I worked the FLORIDA v GA game in Jacksonville...which meant I left the house at 5am & got home at 8pm. Hence the delayed posting! I had a lot of catching up to do around the house. That & we have a new sitter to meet tomorrow...need to clean the house & prep for that! I have a training phone call for promo events this thurs & next thurs. I have another promo lined up for Sat. Oh & before my promo event this Thurs I am scheduled to try on wedding dresses!!! Yesterday I had to take Gpa to his eye appt, find "white" shoes for this promo job, & grocery shop.

So anybody else have issues with their doctor? Actually its not the doctor that's the problem its the staff. I asked the doctor to switch his medication (because one of his meds went from $90 a month to $200 a month!). & I called to ask questions about it & still haven't received a phone call back! It's been a week!

Oh ..I noticed last night that Gpa's feet look a little swollen & his veins are pretty blue/purple. I'm concern about it too. So another phone call to the doctor today to figure that out.

Ok I'm out for now. Workout time!
