I put Ann on the plane this morning. She's in PA now, going to New York tomorrow for her brother's step-daughter's wedding. Then on Saturday she'll visit twins that were born a few months ago. Sunday she will be home.
Anthony and I are going to the Naturals game on Saturday night. We have front row seats. Now we just have to hope the weather holds up.
Work has been the road to hell lately. A new gentleman was hired this week, and I am the one that is to train him. I don't think I've had the chance to show him two things yet. Between meetings, just plain craziness, and various things "blowing up" I haven't been able to properly train him. Hopefully tomorrow he will start learning something. Thank you to a co-worker for actually teaching him.

And it's only Tuesday...
What a past few days I've had. I don't know if there was something in the medication I was taking for my teeth, or just what, but since Saturday I was in a really bad funk. It felt like there was a giant black cloud over my head and in my heart. There was no way to explain it.
I went to work yesterday feeling like an unimportant nothing and I wasn't putting enough time and effort into my job. Enough time and effort into my life. Add to that I had about 12 reports to run because I picked up a category while a coworker is on vacation. I got through it, but don't have any idea how. I was at work at 7am, fully expecting to work until 6pm or later. Wound up getting out at 4pm. When I got home, I still felt awful. Last night was the first time in a LONG time I went to sleep before 10pm. And slept until 6am straight through.
Today was a much better day. Still had many reports to run, but got done with 4 of them in the first hour (7 to 8am). Everything was in much better perspective for me, and I got through my morning without too much confusion in my head. I DID, however, send the wrong reports to the wrong group of people. The good part of that was it's all internal customers, but it confused many of them. We had a great laugh, and I sent out the right ones. This afternoon, it blew up again. TWO promo's needed to be written. OK, another late night. Got the first one done fairly early! WOOHOO! Getting ready to start the second one to find out that it will not be ready until tomorrow. Ugh! At least I'm enjoying my job again!
9 days until Ann goes to New York for 3 days!
11 days until Anthony and I go to the ballgame and sit in the FRONT row!
15 days until I go to Missouri for 3 days!
Gotta start making plans for May :)

2 down...13 to go
Got 2 teeth pulled today. Have to wait on the others until May, though. Too much going on at work for me to take the couple of days to get them pulled and recover. Plus, Ann is going away in a couple of weeks and she & I would both prefer if she was home after I have it done.
Went to the Naturals game last night (thank you Blake!!). We won 5-1, which was great. Anthony and I went to the stadium after he got out of school, and a co-worker and her husband met us there around 6pm (start time for the game). Ann was working so I left her a ticket and she got there around 7:30 or so. It was in the 4th inning when she arrived and the score was 5-1. For those of you who don't pay close attention, that was the FINAL score. Needless to say, she missed just about everything. There were fireworks after the game, which I have to say were better than the last 4th of July at the stadium. My company also has a brand sponsorship in the outfield. They are trying to get it ON the wall, rather than behind it. Still looks great. Also, September 4th, we are sponsoring a t-shirt giveaway for kids. Be sure to join us for that game.
Work has been like a see-saw. Early in the week it's been busy, later in the week rather quiet. I also have not felt like being there most of this week, probably because of the pain in my teeth. Hopefully by Monday the pain I was experiencing this week will be gone, and will stay away long enough for me to get the rest pulled and then I will start feeling better overall.
OK, about my teeth...
Kids, this is what happens when you "give up" on taking care of them. All of my teeth are rotted, all of my teeth are infected, and all of my teeth are prone to abcesses (sp? who cares!). The dentist presented my insurance company with a statement of the cost to have all of them pulled and dentures for me. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to get approval from the insurance company, which may work out as it will be that long before I can go. In the meantime, I have been on antibiotics for the past 9 days, and have muscle relaxers if the pain becomes too severe. Add to that 4 tubes of Orajel, and maybe I get a good night of sleep.

Update...
OK, just read what I typed earlier this week. Our anniversary was on the 27th, not the 29th. Sorry for the confusion.
Work is going fairly well. Almost everyone in the office who is "with child" is very close to their due dates, and will be leaving the office over the next week or two. This will cause a major shift in the office, as others will be covering their desks so the low men on the totem pole will cover the bottoms of the barrels. I am kinda looking forward to the challenge myself. Unfortunately, I run into a personal dilemma...
Last week I developed another absess (sp? .. who cares!!) in my teeth. Went to the dentist earlier this week and after a 2 second exam by the doctor, he told me "they all need to come out NOW!" He is going to get me a quote on the cost of extracting all of my teeth and dentures. Then I will find out what the insurance will cover, and I need to come up with the rest. That's not the dilemma...
In order for me to get it all done, I will need to be out of the office for a few days. I am getting a new "partner" in a couple of weeks, and it's up to me to train him. I have to have the preliminary manual done by next Friday, and the final copy by the 16th. I have a layout of what needs to be done, which is good. Now all I have to do is attempt to put it all together. There is the dilemma. I can't afford to take time away from the office. I have to figure out how to work this.
