Happy Thanksgiving
Today is a day for family & friends. Today I’m surrounded by family and I’ve either talked or texted those closest to me wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving receiving well wishes in return.
Since my big promotion and added responsibilities, I’ve been sucked into work the past week and a half, night and day. We had a 2am conference call a few nights ago that lasted till 5am, only to turn around and have another one at 7am, then again at 11am then working till 7pm almost every night. I’m sliding into my new position of management like riding a bike. Some things are never forgotten and I’m in my prime. With my new idea’s mixed with imagination and motivation my future vision is on it’s way to being a reality more quickly than I thought. This included hiring more hands to match the work load, being pro-active on events coming down the pipe. Due to a busy week I’ve neglected email and my focus has turned to my husband and to my Mother and Grandmother visiting from Colorado.
I’ve also learned I need to exercise my time management skills and tweak it a bit to allow a healthy balance between work and home.
Mom and I went on a 4 hour road trip yesterday driving through nearly every small town between Kennesaw and Blairsville in north Georgia taking pictures and seeing more of this state that I now live in. We picked up my Grandmother who’s been visiting cousins a week ago today when we drove her up the first time.
Now that I’m finally caught up with friends blogs and email I have the rest of the evening to myself. Because of my husband and I’s insomniac ridden late night bedtimes we’ve been taking refuge in the basement so Mom and Grandma aren’t woken up by late night smoke breaks and gaming.
The pain from the Fibro is also getting worse instead of getting better so I’m seeing Dr. C on Monday. It’s getting to the point that walking a dreaded task. Not good, not good. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel, I’m still hopeful. I’ve been issued a handicap tag by the Georgia department of Revenue to aid in the amount of walking I have to do each day. Several of my close friends have turned it into a positive experience due to my fear of being labeled like having front row tickets to do shopping for Black Friday. I will be doing my shopping online, but it was the thought that counted.
As soon as I get my pictures organized they will be uploaded soon, so be looking for a heavy picture post. Time to make more coffee and get a bowl of ice cream!
