Crazy Busy Life!

I just got back from a brisk morning walk - 50 degrees out at 6:00am, but the cold air felt good. My life at work is so busy. My supervisor had her baby, a beautiful, healthy baby girl named Gray. I am so happy that mom and baby are doing well. Lauren will not be back to work until August 3rd... its going to be a LONG summer for sure! I am rather stressed at work right now, which is not good. I do love my job, and can't imagine myself doing anything else. My other supervisor has been doing a great job helping me... but she still has to do her job as an echo tech, and I am really feeling stretched right now. We have our next phase of Epic coming - and I'm not sure we are ready, or if the Epic team is even ready for this to happen. On top of everything, we are having issues with the Radiant portion of our EMR - between transcription issues, charges not dropping or going to the insurance properly, and just taking care of the many, many day to day issues that come across a manager's desk... its enough to make a grown woman cry. I worked 12 hours yesterday, but plan to leave by 3:30 today. Thank goodness for the weekends. But... enough bellyaching about my job.. I have one, which in this day and age, is a good thing. I am very thankful for everything I have, and I never take my job for granted. Hopefully next week will be a better week.

Its been awhile!

Boy... its been awhile since I posted anything on my blog. Guess my life has been very busy... not much exciting has been happening in my life other than work. So, I have not been to the Y for almost a month. The week before vacation was crazy busy, then we were gone a week, the week after we got back Gordie was in LA, so I had to get home to let our dog out, and this past week was crazy busy again with meetings every night. My clerical supervisor is almost ready to have her baby, and me getting to the gym AFTER work is getting to be ridiculous, so I spent the money and joined a gym near my house. As a matter of fact, I can walk there it is so close. I had my first workout this morning at 6:00am. I am very excited about this. I really want to get in shape.... lose weight and feel fabulous.... but working out after working 10-11 hour days, in the summertime.... well lets just say, I doubt I was going to be able to stick with it. I can easily go in a little later in the morning, unless I have early morning meetings - which do happen at least once a week, but for the most part - I can work out at 6:00, come home shower, eat some breakfast, and still get to work by around 8:30ish. So here we go again. One of these days I will get it right!

There's no place like home!

I love my home! Its fun to go away, but its always so nice to come home too. Katie picked us up at the airport this afternoon and when we pulled into our driveway said she had a surprise for me... she had my VW Beetle detailed while I was gone. There is sat with the top down, all shinny and clean in the sun. Of course vacations are more fun when you don't get sick... but regardless, there is just something about coming home to what is yours, what is comfortable, and to people and animals that love you. Gordie has to leave tomorrow morning for LA. I am somewhat jealous as I would love to spend a week in sunny warm LA, but I am also glad to be home, and back in my own bed. This week will go by really fast, and I know that Gordie will be saying the same thing in another week... Its so good to be home!
