Thursday September 1st

So today when the alarm went off I seriously thought about resetting it for about thirty more minutes instead of just hitting snooze for nine minutes.  I wonder what made whoever designed the snooze to think of nine minutes instead of five or ten?  Have you ever thought about that?

So I left the house and told the boxers I would spank there bottoms if they even tried to leave with me.  it seemed to work for today, who know if it will tomorrow.

I went to Mom and Daddy's and had a cup of coffee then it was off to the salt mines.  When I got there I printed up student roosters in case I found a framer to follow.  I then went in and marked breakfast then told everyone I would get back as soon as I could, it almost makes me laugh when I see the doubt on there faces when I tell them I will be in time to do lunch.  Today I was told "make sure you have some one on standby "  I said I do.

Now the race is on, I made it to Norman in about 45 minutes the got into the office and saw there was a new patience filling out paperwork and thought" Please let me go first"  new patience appointments take longer that regular ones do.  I was in luck, I barley sat down and I was called back.  The Dr. was right in and told me my blood pressure was up, I told her "Oh that's just cause I was in a hurry to get here and worried about traffic"  Well then she started asking me about how I was and I told her OK, but kinda sore, she stated I looked very tired, and was surprised how many of my joints were inflamed. I told her this is how it has been lately.  She said my RA was getting worse and we would need to try some more meds, in addition to what all I am on now.  The new pills just have one side effect, they could case damage to my sight so I will need to have an eye exam every six months, they can tell quickly if that is the case and get you off the meds before the damage actually happens.  Then if that is case I will have to start taking a new shot that I will take every week instead of every other week.

So then I got back to work today at about 11:10 and lunch did not start till 11:40, so I was doing fine on time.  I surprised some co worker how fast I returned but I made sure the next appt is at 3pm so I will just get off and hour early.

I worked till 4:30 then called Mist and told her I would meet her and the kids in town as I need to drop off my scripts then I would take the kids out for a quick dinner while she was in class.  We chose to eat at Taco Bell, then we headed home.  Patience is watching TV in the living room and Payton and I are in my room laying down watching Barney.
