I can use one of those captions "I'm Back"! With being on vacation last week - it seems like I have been gone forever. I decided to jump on the computer tonight to see what is going on before I go back to work tomorrow morning. My boss had already text'd me on Friday that she had ordered breakfast for Monday morning as we have a bunch of new people moving into one of our departments and we have about 20 people moving around. Looks like I will need to be at work by 6AM so that I can figure out what is going on.
It was nice being off last week, but I am already wishing that I hadn't taken all week off. Five days at one time has really set me back - I had 200 emails waiting on me tonight - took me nearly an hour to just get through them - and that is putting some in secure print so that tomorrow when I go in I can just hit print and my code and they will all print out - but then I have meetings to make, calls to return, minutes to type - and whatever else has gone on.
I did get a shock when I read one email. I'm still stunned and couldn't keep from shedding tears. One of my friends - probably about 50-ish - I don't know what happened, but I read an email where she passed away. No one told me - I read the email and just sat here thinking, no, it couldn't be my friend - I just talked to her last week! But, alas, an email from her daughter confirmed her death - and that they donated her organs to three people. Which is pretty cool. I hope when I die that my organs will be acceptable to someone that they can have a better quality of life. Yes, I am an organ donor and carry the card, and have the sticker on my driver's license.
Tomorrow will be an extremely busy day, I'm sure. I'm debating on wearing jeans and tennis shoes, but I also have meetings so think I will go ahead and wear a dress or skirt/top. I hope I can get on top of things right away, but looking at all my emails, I have a lot already on the calendar for tomorrow. I may be working late.
The week's vacation was ok. I really feel we didn't do much. We did have a cookout at my daughter's on Sunday evening so that everyone could see my sister and her husband. Monday my sister and I got a pedicure and nail tips. Will see how long either of us leave them on - but in the meantime, my nails do look nice. I like the nails because my princess granddaughter can really decorate my nails when she has time - I love how she does some of the scenes. But, since she doesn't live here, it makes it more difficult to get done.
We went to Sedona, then Prescott on Tuesday, toured the town square in Prescott on Wednesday then headed back home. We did what we could, but my BIL couldn't do some things (like get in the spa because his immune system was low) - reckon we could have gone ahead, but felt guilty since we were there with them. Thursday and Friday it seems we did nothing. Sis and I did a couple Sam's club runs but didn't buy much. I definitely rested all week because I couldn't get her to get up early and go walking - and then Friday she tells me she would have gotten up. I quit asking after a couple days of no response. I definitely didn't get any exercise last week and I really feel it.
I had invited my middle child and boys over for a swim today because it was to be really hot - thought they could swim and I'd fix hamburgers for dinner - but they never responded back. So, hubby and I got in the pool by ourselves after the sun started to go down; fixed a shake for dinner and I jumped on the computer. It's been a very quiet day, other than we went to church this morning.
I guess I need to quit my rambling and get my things ready for tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to work - I feel like I've been gone forever. God and I have had a lot of talks this week. It's been interesting, to say the least. I often wonder what He is trying to teach me. Probably to keep my mouth shut and don't suggest to anyone they need to do something. I get in so much trouble.
Today being the end of Father's day, I reckon I best put this computer away and spend some time with hubby before heading to bed. It's getting to that time. Hope you have a good week.
Blessings!

Sorry Mom, we just sorta did what we wanted. Ended up at an early dinner and then went to the movies.
No worries.... it would have helped if I had known cause I had bought burgers, etc. but that's ok. Threw them in the freezer for another time. Quiet ending to a quiet week. :) Glad you did what you wanted to do. You don't get much opportunity to do that. Love you.
