Short week

Well this has been a short week of work with having Monday off. That extra day makes a big difference that is for sure. So here it is Friday again and another long weekend for me. I have Monday off again. Going to be taking an administrative day and work from home. Guess we will see how great my computer tech skills are and if I can get on my computer at work from home. TJ and the Doc have given me instructions so we will see. If not I can be creative:)
Not too much to report it was a pretty quiet week. We seem to be getting lots of new patients so that is good for us bad for them. I am sure going on dialysis was not in their whole scheme of future plans.
My knee rehab progresses and we seem to step it up a notch every week. Along with the weight training. oh ya and my complaining!!!! Wednesday was outside for knee rehab. Can I just say it was pretty hot out there in the sun??? But I attempted to run (I am sure that was a funny site)jump up and down off the curb didn't happen and many other wonderful exercise. Loved it!!

I have been working on one of Carol Wingert's monthly kits and have it completed. This is the kit that Kim made the wooden easels for. It was really fun putting this one together well all of them have been great. The kits are packed full of goodies to complete each project and each one is different. I am thinking of sending this off to my sister (who by the way I haven't heard from in over a week) so she can put her beach pics in it. Below are some of the pics of the album.








Finally finished up a board to display the tags from the swap I hosted. I have it hanging in my scrap room. Not real pleased with the background paper so may switch it out. I thought it was going to be neutral enough but the tags are not showing up very well. I need to try some different papers and see if I can make them pop out a bit more

So another road trip is planned to 7th Ave tomorrow. Colleen put some things on hold and we are planning on driving up to pick them up. Melrose is supposed to be open so Bet we stop in there too
Working on details for the next tag swap and will post them this weekend
Hope everyone has a great weekend you to dear SISTER

Final Goodbyes

Image
It has been a gut wrenching sad and emotional two months for the Struchen's. We have said our final goodbyes with many tears, laughter, sadness and breaking hearts. Dad passed on Feb 25th and now Mom has joined him on March 10th.  We knew Mom was very ill but none of us expected that she would go so very quickly. And now as my sister says we are orphans.  We are still family but right now without Dad and Mom to bring us and keep us all together as they had worked so hard to do all these years. As I had written on Caring Bridge Dad was our hero, our mentor our DAD.  It is so hard to realize there are no more early am text messages or emails  no more 4pm Sunday phone calls.  There is a giant void in my heart Mom seemed to think she always took a back seat to Dad.  But she was always there to help us, give us strength hold us to a higher standard.  "We Struchen women are tough" she used to tell me when I was needing a listening ear.  "You c...

Where did the weekend go????

Image
It doesn't seem to matter if I have 3 days off or a normal Saturday & Sunday off, it is never ever enough. Here it is already 7pm and I am getting ready for work tomorrow. Last early day and then back to the old routine. So what did I accomplish this weekend?? not too much as far as the home front goes. Just the usual laundry and clean but no yard work. Now on the creative level I had a great inspiring weekend. I rode to Payson with Earleen and Annette on Sat am for a class by the 2 gypsy girls Debbie and Paula . I had my doubts I could construct a house that would stand. Due the patience of the 2 Gyspsie Girls my house is still standing today:) I loved this class. The roof holds the little album and the clever use of the 7 Gypsy elastics made the page signatures so easy. After class we joined Annette and her family at their reunion. Invited crashers we were. We feasted on Alaskan Salmon thank you Robert and all the yummy goodies from a reunion. A couple of q...
