Another weekend is here and I am so glad.

Last Friday I saw my primary doctor. She told me all my blood work that was done in April came back normal. Then I showed her my discharge paper from when I went to the emergency room. My cold had come back and my throat was sore again so I wanted to get a prescription for some medicine while I was at the doctor's office. She listened to my lungs and said they were clear. She says she believes I have an allergy problem and tells me to take over the counter claritin. Then she writes me a prescription for a nasal spray to use every morning. I am hoping this works because I have had what I have been calling a cold for months.

My throat is still very sore. I have been gargling with a perioxide/water mix but so far no improvement. I don't understand why she didn't notice any thing wrong when she looked at it.

My latest difficulty is upon me. I was told that I would be getting my own class room at the day care in August. Finally I would be working 7 to 3, five days a week. Yesterday at work my supervisor came and told me she wanted to make me an offer. I had no idea what to expect; I thought she was going to try to sell me something. Basically, that is what she tried to do. She wants me to keep working 8 to 6 but just four days a week and take either friday or monday off. Now, the bonus, if I accept her offer; I will finally get full time benefits. Since January, I have been working over 40 hours a week without benefits because I am considered a part time employee. I was told I couldn't get benefits until I get a class room. Suddenly, I am being told I can get all the benefits if I keep working a split shift and that they will go all the way back to January to figure my sick days and vacation days. So I am beginning to smell a rotten apple in my place of employment. I have a suspicion that they want to give the class room to another part time employee. She has went to the supervisor and said that she is going to quit if she doesn't get her own class room. The room I was told I would get is the only room available. Something is definitely fixing to happen.

I told my supervisor I want to work 7 to 3; I am tired. She said she understands but I don't feel confident. I have seen what can happen if the bosses want to give your job to someone else; they find ways to terminate you. Normally, I would continue to work my long hours. But when I think that they want to put a teenager in the class room and leave me working split shifts and I have been there for two years, waiting for the next available full time position; she has been working a little over a year. I want to give my two week notice. I have been praying for guidance.

I am wondering once more if my life is ever going to get restful before it comes to an end.

Here I go trying to catch up again. It has definitely be awhile since I blogged. I have been busy and tired and sick. I don't know what should come first.


I had been sick with a cough for about three weeks; but I put off going to the charity hospital and tried to doctor myself. The ladies at work told me to take musinex so I did. Last thursday I realized I was not getting better and I asked if I could miss work friday to go to the charity emergency room. You can't call and ask for an appointment with a doctor; you go to the ER and then they give you a referral. Thursday evening I had 101 temp. Friday I went and sat in the waiting room from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. before I was seen by a doctor. My temperature had risen to 103 by the time I finally was called to the ER. I was told I had bronchitis and a viral infection in my sinuses and I had ulcers on my tonsils. Wow, I am glad I went; I had no idea it was that serious. The doctor gave me a prescription for doxycycline. I am feeling much better. Actually, after taking just three pills I was much improved.

I feel I have been working too many hours and my immune system is low. I will definitely be changing my eating habits and cutting back on my hours at work. I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables; but I have been slacking on my control of eating sweet stuff.

I also went to the lawyer referred by several ladies I work with. The paper work for the succession is done and he charged me $1250. Plus my sons are charged $500 each donation fee to give my property back to me. The lawyer said that succession only has to be done in the state of Louisiana. I can't understand why they have to pay to give the property they inherited to me, when really it should be mine to start with. And I have to pay to get my home back. Does that make sense? I don't know if I said that right any way.

The day care was closed for the fourth so I had one day off but I am glad it is the weekend. I am looking forward to two days off from work. That is one thing I like about my job, I always know that I will be off on saturday and sunday. When I worked at walmart I never had the same days off and I worked three weekends a month. Very rarely did I have two consecutive days off.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalm 23
