Did you find my new blog? I hope my email to you didn't "get lost" in your email folder. But most likely not, as you already addressed that problem earlier last week and has successfully received my emails in a timely fashion.
You know when you watch those TV shows or movies and the main character is usually blogging? And when they are blogging, they are usually narrating their own writing...so I've always wondered, when you read my blog do you hear my voice narrating what I'm writing? Or do you just read it as an update to my life? Just curious.
I told my BF last night that I still blog. This came up because he told me that he's interested in a career as a writer. Not a professional writer, like he's going to quit his job and become a writer...but something to do on the side. I told him that a blog would be a nice way to start and get some practice and then I casually mentioned that I still blog. Not as an interest but merely for you to read about my life and get updated on it. He said he's going to look for my blog but since I've taken the website off my facebook and I've changed my blog name...I doubt he'll find me. Muhahhahaha and I want to keep it that way. Muahahah. I don't know why I don't want him reading my blog...maybe because I know some of things that I say here might scare him. You know, things about how obsessed I am to get married and how I reiterate all those intimate conversations I have with him...things like that might upset him. LoL.
So let's go back to the crazy BOMB scare on Friday. So I was told that we are safe to go back to work on Monday and the proper protocols have been taken to ensure of safety, which I believed, up until the point I met up with some of my coworkers and they told me that those are just lies our manager has told our central office to down play the gravity our situation. No one checked the building to ensure that our workplace is safe and the guy that made the threats is at large, so I'm not sure if he's spending his weekend prepping a bomb and planting it in our clinic so he can take us down. I'm very disappointed and disheartened that they would treat us this way. It's almost like we are just expendable employees, so why not risk it? Why waste resources and time ensuring we are safe? Ugh. Makes me really angry when I think about this situation. But I'm going to just let this incident pass and blindly trust that we are going to safe and stay alive. If you don't hear from me for a while, check the news to make sure our clinic didn't explode and I didn't die in the process.
I'm not sure if I talked about this but John quit on Thursday last week. He went to work on that morning and the manager spread vicious lies about him and made two nurses very angry at him, he got fed up with it and he quit by the end of the day. I was shocked, of course, but I was more worried about his finances. He had just bought a new house here and he was getting a new security system installed, a new pool in the backyard and so much more, I didn't know how he was going to manage to make the payments if he quits his job. Luckily, the main office requested a telephone conference with him Friday and they ironed things out and plead that he return. He decided he will return Monday, under the circumstances that he won't have to deal with the manager. So we'll see how it goes on Monday, he can still quit, but I have my fingers crossed that he'll stay. Because this was so such crazy news for all of us, a couple of other doctors that worked at the clinic and I went over to his place Thursday night to sit and chat with him. We stayed until 10ish, which is CRAZY late for me. Then Friday rolled around and the whole bomb scare happened, so I left work and ending up spending more time with him. I actually stayed so late over at his house that he forced me to stay there because he thought it was too late/dangerous for me to drive home. So I did, I slept at his place.
Saturday came around and I just tried to accomplish some things on my "to do" list. Which was mainly just "do laundry" and "submit taxes". I've been meaning to do laundry for a while now. I wanted to wash anything that was fabric material that was in my apartment when it was fumigated that might have obsorbed some of the harmful chemicals. You know, it's to ensure that I won't die from making contact with that fabric. Anyways, so I did that. Check. And then for my taxes, really, all I had to do was sign onto turbotax and hit submit. Which I did. Check. I was done with my chores this weekend. Yay! That was easy. Normally I have a ton of things to do but this has been the 3rd weekend in a row I haven't gone home, so being here so many weekends has given me an opportunity to accomplish most of my to do list here. I'm so ready to go home next weekend. It's getting really really hot here. I'm melting and morphing more into a cough potato has the temperature rises. You know how that is, when it's so hot, you don't want to move, it's hard to prevent yourself from sweating by just sitting still. Who wants to go outside, in the beating sun? No one. So that's exactly what I did, I just napped for hours on Saturday. Haha.
Sunday. Today. I actually did do something active because my coworker invited me out to go walking along the Colorado River and then to breakfast. Let's be real, I just went for the breakfast. Haha. So I went to this restaurant that I really like because the food is always amazing! But I ordered the wrong thing today so I barely ate my food. I have this Mexican style scramble, I know, sounds good, but it was way too oily and had way too much tortilla. The home fries were also too oily. I only finished the bread that it came with. I left most of it untouched. After breakfast, since I was already out, I went to the mall. I've been trying to buy new clothes forever now. Much of it didn't fit or ending up being poor purchases. I'm actively looking for some nice tight workout capri's, like the ones that you have. Haven't had much luck. Thought I found something nice but ending up changing my mind. I was also almost going to get another pair of slacks for work, but also changed my mind about that. So, in summary, another uneventful attempt at a shopping spree. I swung by target on the way back and got some food, but otherwise, that was it.
It's so hot here, there isn't much I want to do. The only thing I've always enjoyed about summer....WATERMELON! John was nice enough to give me a personal sized watermelon on Saturday. I savored and enjoyed that beast today. Yum Yum YUM! What's better than a hot pre-summer day eating a cold watermelon? NOTHING. Good food always gets me so excited, not to mention, in a good mood. Ok, I'm going to try to take a nap and hopefully gracefully transition this nap into sleep. Tootles!
FYI, in case you are wondering about Sally's baby, there's picture posted on FB! The baby's a darling.
