Rough week

It's been a horrible week. I returned to work this week at a decreased pace. Per the doctors, they only want me to work 8 hour shifts, so I can give my body a rest. Ok. I told this to my boss while I was in the hospital, he said they'd work with me. I'm still putting in the same amount of hours, 72 hours per pay period, which equals to 4-8 hour shifts one week and 5 the next. SHouldn't be too difficult right??? WRONG!!! This week, I only worked 24 hours and as of Thursday they still haven't figured out my hours. Now they're suggesting that I work all my originally scheduled shifts, just cut them down by 4 hours each. OK, but I still need one or two extra shifts per week in order to make it work. Now the suggesstion is that I drive in for 4 hour shifts , well, I would need 4 of those per week to make that work. Thats and awful lot of driving!!! Oh, poo....someday we'll get this figured out. If I could cut down my hours I would, but my benefits and scholarship are dependent on my hourly commitment.

On the good side, Dan and I are moving. We got ourselves an apartment, in Naperville. I know this seems far away, but it's really a halfway point between both of our jobs. Until he's willing to move to a job further north, that's where we settle. But, we are moving in the first week of december! Yeah!!!!

Marty celebrated his 25th birthday this past Thursday 11-8. Ralph will be 56 on 11-13, and Dawniepie will be 26, big party in the city for Dawn's bday!!!

I spent the past two weekends with Dan's family, it's been very nice. School is going well, I'm just getting excited to end the semester. Next semester isn't going to be easier at all, it's going to be very difficult, but hell..I can do it!!!!

My blood work has been all over the map again. Thursday my INR was 6.6, technically a critical level!!! No coumadin Thursday or Friday, Start again Saturday, blood work Tuesday! Well, thats all for now!!!
