The Beach

Was WONDERFUL!!!! So relaxing. It would rate a 10 if it weren't for the sunburn that made us decide to leave a little earlier than we had planned. So here's the pictures.
Obviously this is before laying out and getting sunburned.

The shells I picked up to remember my mini-vaca.
And the burn.....that's over most of my body including the tops of my feet and hands!I did use sunscreen just not enough apparently. The worst part (besides trying to get comfortable enough to get any sleep) is not having anyone here to help me put aloe on my back and shoulders. :-(

Can't get a break

Work is still pretty stressful of course but to add to that I haven't felt well since Sunday. I've actually been getting worse! So today I finally went to the doctor and got meds. Hopefully they will help me sleep tonight and enjoy the weekend. I will be at the beach until sometime Sunday. I am taking the laptop with me in the hopes that where we're staying has internet or I can get on a wireless network somewhere but I'm not counting on it. So until then, be safe and have a great weekend.

I didn't drown!

Most of this week I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water. I got asked to join a women's summer softball league and have been practicing at least once sometimes twice a week after work. It has worn me out!! I didn't sleep good Monday night then went to Raleigh with a friend Tuesday and didn't go to bed until 1am. So by Wednesday I was EXHAUSTED! The other secretary (Alishia) I work with was due to have her 1st baby May 11th. She went to the doctor last Thursday knowing something wasn't right but not sure what or what they would do. They decided to induce her thinking she had preeclampsia. The temp to replace her while she's out the next 6-8 weeks wasn't going to be there until Monday. Thank goodness last Friday was pretty quiet. So the office manager (and myself) spent Monday and Tuesday training the temp. Mainly she is supposed to answer the phone so I don't have to as much and can get the invoicing done that Alishia usually does. Well Wednesday, the manager (who has been doing this job for almost 10 yrs) and the office manager leave for Florida with their spouses for a vacation/seminar paid for by the company we get our doors from. And that of course is when things get crazy. Everytime Larry (the manager) leaves for more than a couple days, its very stressful. So from Wednesday on I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water. And that's why I have not had time to post anything until now. But we survived the week. And one week from today I will be with a good friend at Ocean Isle, NC for a mini vacation at the beach! I absolutely can't wait.
