2008-03-30 18:55:00 I spent most of the afternoon in bed yesterday. It was cloudy and cool and I just wasn’t in the mood to do anything. Sometimes it’s nice to shut down for awhile. Although I don’t understand everything God allows to happen, I know His Will remains perfect. I know that whatever chaos is around me that ... More About: General , Grow
Low
2008-03-29 20:12:00 Susan called this morning while I was out getting groceries. I called her back, knowing the news wouldn’t be good. She said on Thursday, she had to be taken to the ER. Her heart rate was 259 beats per minute. They put her on Lasix and atenolol to try to reduce the fluid built up ... More About: General

2008-03-27 12:46:00 I’m sick and tired of places and things that I like being discontinued. This morning, I went to do my workout that I record every day only to find it doesn’t come on anymore! The one healthy thing I try to do for myself. Of course, the few other so-called workouts suck! ... More About: General , Vent

Sad Times
2008-03-20 20:47:00 My work server is down, so I thought I’d take the time to write something. Susan called me yesterday with devastating news. The scans show that all of her tumors have doubled in size. Her oncologist told her there wasn’t really anything else they could do as far as the fight was concerned. ... More About: General , Times
Redheaded Strangeness
2008-03-15 22:00:00 I apologize for neglecting my blog. My focus has been on this new career. Now that I understand the peripheral elements of what this position requires, I’m beginning to not only feel comfortable, but enjoy what I’m doing. Every day is a new well of knowledge as I take a small, invisible, ... More About: Willie Nelson , General , Texas , Strangeness , Waylon Jennings
Spring This!
2008-03-09 15:26:00 I love spring, but I hate this whole “spring forward” business. Is it really necessary? I do NOT look forward to getting up at 3:50 a.m., which will now be the already-OMG-it’s-early wake-up time of 4:50. YUK! I guess this means I’ll be going to bed at 6:30 so I ...

Brain Drain
2008-03-08 20:30:00 OK, I admit it. I’m a wuss. Spoiled. A brat. I forgot what it was like to work, and during training on Wednesday, I felt like my head (or my heart) was going to explode. I almost quit the very first day, it was that overwhelming. The next two days weren’t quite as bad…but I ... More About: General , Brain

Sad News
2008-03-04 15:28:00 Just heard this news about Jeff Healey: TORONTO - Blind rock and jazz musician Jeff Healey has died after a lifelong battle against cancer. He was 41. He was an amazing guitarist. I had not realized his blindness was due to cancer, at age 1. I know he’s up there in Rock ‘n’ Roll Heaven, ... More About: News , General

2008-03-01 22:36:00 So…I’m here chillin’ in Fredericksburg, Texas…Fredericksburg Brewing Company to be exact. Sweet. We’re just staying overnight. Our buddy Jeff is with us.

Shaky Ground
2008-02-26 14:48:00 Randy’s company is beginning to show its true colors, which is more than a little scary. I’ll just say that they aren’t basing job security on the right things. It’s typical media management in a lot of ways, so it doesn’t really surprise me after so many years of Randy being in the radio biz. ... More About: General , Ground
More Work!
2008-02-25 14:55:00 Carole was pleased with my transcription. Apparently, I did so well that she even let me do some QA on another MT’s work! That was a a learning experience for me as well, and it made me feel good that someone appreciates my efforts. She offered to let me do the same urologist’s transcription all week and I agreed. It’s not much dictation, but it will help me keep my “ear” until I get started with Amphion. I made all of $11 over the weekend, and it took me 2 hours. The transcriber and pedal are a bit archaic, which really slows me down. I know I’m going to be very slow for awhile, anyway. I’m just happy to be working and having an option for local transcription! That’s worth its weight in gold, even if it’s only $11 for now. LOL More About: Work
Mentorship
2008-02-24 14:48:00 I finished the urology clinic notes and letter that was given to me to transcribe over the weekend. Today, I am going back over to Carole’s house to return the transcriber, tape, and patient resources. She will go over my transcription with me. I am hoping I did a good job, and ...

Real MT Work!
2008-02-22 16:38:00 A local MT here in town called me this morning and asked me if I’d be interested in doing some reports. I told her I had accepted a full-time position, but that I don’t start until March 5th, and that I would love to help her out. So…I’m going over to her house this aft ...

Prayers for Susan
2008-02-21 14:18:00 Susan called me yesterday. The good news is that the existing tumors have not grown. They haven’t shrunk either. The bad news is they saw some spots on her lungs. They started her on yet another type of chemo yesterday, and she will also start oral chemo on top of that. Please…keep her lifted up in prayer. I know God hears us. I pray that His will be done and that Susan is surrounded by His love, courage, comfort, and peace. Her attitude has been, and still is, amazing. Thank you. May God bless you.

2008-02-20 15:23:00 OK, this is kinda gross. I’m kinda embarrassed too. But you know me, I just have to share! We were about to scarf down a whole bunch of nachos that Randy made yesterday evening.

Stir Crazy
2008-02-18 16:46:00 I’m listening to the ASUP files again, just to try to keep my “ears” in shape. This waiting is a killer. I’m ready to start working, although I know once I do, I won’t be getting a vacation for a long time. I guess it’s a trade-off, like everything else. I’m also hanging out in MTVille, ...

A Boxer Named Mucha
2008-02-15 15:00:00 I was in MTVille yesterday chatting with my fellow MTs, and one of my new coworkers at Amphion, Chad, told me he also had a boxer. His name is Mucha, named after the art nouveau artist, Alphonse Mucha. Chad shared this clip with me, and I thought it was hilarious. Hope he ... More About: General , Boxer

Taxes Filed!
2008-02-12 14:23:00 Randy spoke to a very nice gentleman at the IRS yesterday, and he told us what we needed to do to file. It really wasn’t as big a deal as everyone was making it out to be.

Taxes…oooh it makes me mad!
2008-02-10 16:53:00 We tried to get our taxes done yesterday. We had everything we needed, or so we thought. Wrong. I had taken a distribution from my retirement accounts and rolled a portion of it over into another retirement account at a different company. Of course, this just threw everything into a big mess. One of the 1099 forms from Merrill Lynch doesn’t seem to have been filled in correctly. Now it will be a fight to get someone to take responsibility and do their job. I have already paid tax and penalty fees for the portion of the money I withdrew. However, the bottom line is…the total amount of my retirement account is shown to be taxable! Nope. I’m not paying twice. It looks like Randy and I will have to go talk to the IRS tomorrow and/or Merrill Lynch. POOOOO!! I’ve done what I was supposed to do. Why can’t everyone else do their job correctly? Isn’t this part of the reason we pay investment advisor fees?Â

This is so hard
More articles from this author:2008-02-08 00:09:00 First I want to thank all of you for keeping Karen in your prayers. She passed away yesterday. Please continue to pray for her family, especially her grandmother. Karen took care of her grandmother.
