I actually did some work in the sun today. I wasn't out there very long it seemed, but I did earn a sunburn. Turns out the house is finally falling into place. I can see the finish line my friends. I hung two new, prehung doors. If you ever decide to do that yourself, swallow a knife... I swear that I was about ready to blow something up on Sunday. It was so frustrating. Dad, Jimmy, Sandy and I were out at the house today as well. We thought we had figured out the septic tank dilemma, but we were sorely mistaken. We found another today whilst starting to dig a new hole for a new tank. Thats four thus far. 4 septic tanks for a small 3 bedroom 2 bath house thats around 1400 sq ft. But we got the hole cleaned out, no new brown trout infestation if you catch my drift, the new tank is in place with water filled in it, and most of the lateral line is dug as well. Now all we have to do is crawl back under the house and fix some seperations in the plumbing. shouldnt be hard.

Keep your fingers crossed that we have no more big flaws. I shall post some pics of the fun that we are having!! cheers

Oh how my knees and back hurt. I have finally finished the living room floor with the angle grinder... now back to the random orbital sander to finish everything off to prepare for the staining. I wish I could just blink my eyes and make all this go away. Oh how i love living with the parents... haha... that was a slight joke. Im so ready to get out of the house its driving me insane. ok...

Update: I think the high deductible plan was a good bet... after all the diagnostics that have been run, we've about tapped the amount. So, Im happy, because after this, its all covered, 100%.

Im having a little trouble staying awake here at work with good ol Hank. Its rough when you dont have a lot of patients, but I think we prefer it that way. Well, prayers for all my friends. Talk toyou soon

Ok people, hows it going? I'm doing well. I'm sitting here at work with my partner in crime Angela just chillin... savin lives... haha. I just thought I'd drop in a line and say hello and I love all you's guys. It means a lot to both Sandy and I that everyone calls and asks how things is going with the looming surgery. So, thank you!

When is the next Muenster trip anyway????

cough, fever, congestion, repeat...

When I decided to become a nurse and venture away from the EMS world, I imagined a world where sickness was genuine. There were no more patients that woke you up for nonsense. I tell you, I used to get so angry in EMS when we would get a call at 0300 for a stomach ache that "I've had for 3 months". Well after cutting my teeth in the good ol hometown, I have found that its still the same ol clientel. I mean who comes to the EMERGENCY room for a "fever" or a "cough"? Call me cynical or pessimestic, but its very disheartening. I guess that I'd rather be doing something else sometimes, like spending quality time with the wife, or working on the house.

Oh well, I move on.
update:
Sandy and I are waiting on the insurance company to ok the surgery. We are planning on having a reduction any day now. We went and looked at pictures and talked to a surgeon. He was a nice guy and made us more comfortable about the procedure. I dont guess Im worried about sandy, shes healthy as a small horse. Its just the thought of her being sliced upon. She asked me if I would go in there with her for the duration of the surgery. My answer was in fact "Shit No". I dont think i could handle that at all. I'll keep everyone updated.
