1st day of work

Well I'm a Amazonian LOL.  I worked 10 hours today and the worce part ir driving there and back in the dark !!! :(   They have my schedule  messed up and have me working on Sundays so not sure if I will stay or not but I'm going to give it a try. I like the work and think I can be happy doing it tell the Union calls.  I'm tired and gong to bed  see you all tomorrow. BTW Sam is felling better and I'm trying to get him to quit smoking :(  do not think it will work but I will try. 

Sam Went to the Dr.

Well I guess he is feeling better.  We went to the Dr and his B.P. was 102 over 65 and  his oxygen was 83 .
they gave him 2 breathing treatments and then some antibiotics and steroids and a script for a home Nebulizer. I took the script to the home health place and then got sam home.  He took the pills and has been in bed every sense. I guess he can now get some rest. I hope he is not up all night though. That was pretty much my whole day. I have watched a few Christmas movies and ready to go to bed too now.

 Sam is still sick and still will not go to the ER or a walk in clinic. He is better today I guess but still not good. I'm making some Quinao and black bean stuff lol . I made this beef and broccoli last night and it is easy and good !!!! I really hope I find my holiday spirit soon because right now I'm just not feeling it.  I have absolutely no interest in decorating the house or getting a tree up. I hope my mood changes soon so I don't Scrooge out the holiday for the rest of my family. Feeling very bah humbug right now.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope every one had a good thanksgiving. Mine was ok I had a hard time holding back the tears this year.  Not sure why it was so hard but it was, just thinking of family and loved ones I miss I guess.Being around a group of people who do not even like you is hard. They all were nice but I know.  As we sat down to eat Sam took one bite and got the hard hick-ups and went to the bath room and did not even eat so that did not help at all. There I sat eating  and trying to keep the tears back.  Most though I was just upset about Sam. I fixed him a plate to bring  home and we were the last ones to leave. We got back to the Apt. about 4 P.M.  and Sam still was not feeling so good and we figured out he had not taken his pills. I guess I just have had to much on my mind. :(  and  now I know he is also getting sick...... He ate the plate I fixed at Kelly's and took some nite quill and went to bed at 7 P.M.
       Well today  he still is sick and cant breath...  I called his Dr, and he called in a inhaler so I went and got it and mad him some chicken noodle soup. He ate maybe a 1/2 a cup and went back to bed. he has sleep off and on all day and I keep trying to get him to go to the walk in clinics or the ER but he will not go :(  He can breath so I guess I will not sleep.   LOL I know he is sick when he takes any thing I say, he took some nite quill and a aleve  and  I hope to get some sleep.   Good note all .....

Very Cold Monday
