Wow! what a whirlwind month April turned out to be! Between children’s activities and work, sleep has been a bit on the slim side.
My oldest son won the Electronics Applications division of the Georgia state SkillsUSA Competition… for the third year running! Takes after his grandfather he does, just brilliant.
Thyroid medication has had a very mild effect on me, if any. No one has noticed any increase in irritability for the last 2 wks, and that’s as long as it should have lasted. Hmmm, that might not be a good thing…
Work has been oddly busy for some reason. We may even have to work this coming Friday night. I never have to work Fridays… but hey, I’ll take any overtime I can get. Then after we work a sixth day this week, they are laying us off for the first week of May. Lack of work they say… *scratches head* Go figure 😕
OMG I am sooo sore and bruised. One of my dearest friends works for an architectural firm. They just upgraded all of their displays to flat panel lcds. He let me know that there were 3 21″ CRT’s available if I would only come and get them. I was there in 2 mins flat. What I didn’t account for was how HEAVY these suckers are. The lightest one was over 50 lbs, so not too bad. But the others must have weighed in at nothing less than 80! And no hand holds!! 🙁 My hands sweat as it is so after the first one nearly sliding out of my grip, I tightened down with the hands. I kept having to push the things back up to my arms with my thighs. Now I have huge bruises on my legs and arms where the weight of these boulders was resting. But they are sooo crisp 😯 The display is just awesome. Photoshop never looked so good. Nothing like a professional grade monitor to make your pictures look incredible!
So I am off next week. I’m going to go visit my sister in Atlanta for a few days and then come home and work in the yard. I’ve let it go waaaaaay to long.
Oh yeah 🙂 Do check out the pictures on the Wandering Eyes page ^^ My sister took most of them and there are some great shots there.
My husbands 50th birthday is Monday 5/11. I want to do something for him, but I don’t think I have the money for a big shebang. Have to save up for the oldest boy to head to the SkillsUSA national competition. That’s not going to be cheap 😐 I need to think of ways to raise funds to send him as the local school board has refused to pay for anything. Have to see if I can find a corporate sponsor or something… Maybe the company I work for would be willing to help… Comment on this post if you have any Ideas.
Well that’s all that has happened lately. Its time for me to go to sleep.
Wow! How cool that you got those monitors!! Bet they look awesome! I had to carry a really big and heavey TV once, and I had bruises along my arms and legs like you. They were sore too!
Can’t wait to see you and have tea on the balcony!! Oh, bring my pillow…
