Hey there everyone. I have been meaning to pop in and post but these last 3 days were a blurr! Hard to believe this was my 5th week working. I did 3 days in a row and I am feeling it. Making it harder is the fact that Katie has been home sick.........really make me feel guilty. But I had to go into work. My mom and Bill's parents really chipped in and helped me out. I had sent her this morning but after lunch that old head-ache and fever returned. I also got a visit yesterday from Aunt Flo, which is always a pleasure. I had a nice surprise this afternoon that I wanted to share. Today was my first Secretaries Day and my boss remembered. He was out of town on Monday and Tuesday and I did not see him but we spoke many times. I had to handle the number for him between the attorney's offices, the banks, and his clients for 2 closings he had sent for today. He was at one early this morning and then another at 2 and I missed when he stopped at the office inbetween. I was on my lunch break then. Anyhow, he called around 3 to let me know how the closing was going and he told me to look in his top desk drawer. He left an envelope with a card for me...........so sweet. A really nice Hallmark card, which he signed and he had my pay for the 3 days plus some extra cash to spend on me!!!!! I thanked him, I am so lucky I got him for my boss. Made my week! I know he appreciates me and is glad he hired me.

I have not exercised at all. NONE! But I have eatten well, I can proudly say that. I need to catch up on all the posts. I will be home with Katie all day tomorrow so I promise to read everyones stuff. Hope you all had a great first half of the week and the next half is even better. Tomorrow a walk on the treadmill for Deb.......no excuses!

Sounds like you have a great job, boss and you've really got things under control in such a short time.

Glad all is well. I too haven't posted due to me being out of town and then catching up on the boards I lead. Hope Katie is feeling better really soon - glad you have family nearby to help.

Good for you on eating well. I've not done the same, plus am having a time getting back into exercising. New start today for me - I have no choice if I'm going to run that race in mid-May!
