First of all, I’ve got to tell you a joke I made up! You know the saying, “Be alert; the world needs more lerts”? I thought of that today when I was looking at a sign at work that said, “Stay alert.” Then I thought of a new saying all on my own: “Walk ahead; it could use the exercise!” Get it? 😉 Continue reading
On our way to work this morning the temperature was in the 40’s and it was still windy, but by our first break at 10:00 it was cold. There were big fat snow flakes and the snow was piled up about two or three inches. It was beautiful! Continue reading

This is going to be a short post just to let you know I made it through a full ten hour day today! I still don’t feel well, so my work may not be up to par yet, but surprisingly I felt like I could have volunteered to do a twelve hour shift!
