Apparently the news about our jobs is that the doctors will be in control of who goes or stays since now the expense for employees is coming out of their money, not the company we work for. So that is good and it is bad. We will be moving in with another dr’s office, which has more drs so if they decide we are overstaffed more likely than not they will get rid of the people they don’t know or don’t like. I know I am not any of our dr’s favorites, and being added to so many other employees will make it more likely that I may get cut. So when I got home today I started working on updating my resume. I think I may use my 6 weeks off when the baby comes to decide what I want to do. I like my current job but with our consolidating with another dr’s office it will not be the same and I dont know if I will like it, and if we dont move soon I may not work there that long before the baby comes so I dont know if I will have a chance to find out if I will like it or not.
Dean is in a great mood today, which upset me because he has been somewhat down lately, or so it seems, tired I guess mostly, and tonight was the first night he had plans with the theater and I didnt so I was frustrated that he had to be in a good mood tonight when the rest of the week he wasnt. Oh well. He is just so cute when he gets all happy and hyper, I told him he sounded high when he called me earlier. He was just so giddy. And the first sign that something was different with him is that he called, not once but twice while I was at work. So who knows, I told him he better still be in a good mood when he gets home or I will be mad at him! Maybe he’s just nice and rested having a few nights to do what we wanted instead of having to be doing something every night. But the rest of the weekend he is rather busy and I have to work Saturday so it’s a good thing we got some time together earlier this week.
Tomorrow is another ultrasound (the dr calls them bio-physical profiles because they are more extensive then a regular u/s) and I have an eye dr appointment. Frustrating thing is if I need glasses we probably cant afford them for a week or two.
I was remembering today when I got my last pair of glasses. It was senior year and I had to pay for them myself, I don’t remember my mom’s reasoning behind that one but I think it had something to do with the fact I was working and had money, well maybe it was the year after I graduated? Who knows, but I remember having to go get them and pay for them with my money so of course I got good ones but made sure it was a reasonable price. And it has been a while since then, so I know I am due for new ones if I even need them.
I dont have many memories from my child hood often, but as I sit here writing this I distinctly remember going to the eye dr and being told I needed glasses for the first time. I must have been 8 or 9 because I remember where we lived and that my mom had a decent job and insurance at that and on top of that could afford the glasses. But I can remember it like it was yesterday, which is hard to say about a lot of my memories. I can almost remember the smell of the office and the weather was gloomy. I know exactly where on the Avenue (Eastern Ave, a road in Baltimore that in that area was mostly storefronts and restaurants) it was and that is was next a restaurante where we went and got the best pancakes!! How strange. I guess I just never tried to remember anything but now that I do it is pretty interesting. The reason I remember it so well is because I was rather upset about having to get glasses but then after I found a pair I really liked I liked it because they made me look older.
Ironically as I sit here writing about Baltimore I get a call from Stacey! Who was in my thoughts a lot lately because I wasnt sure quite where she was since she graduated earlier this month. But I am super excited now because she is planning on coming to visit us next weekend, which is when the theater is having our baby shower for us and she was so upset about having missed my other shower that my mom planned so if she comes then she can go with me!!
Shew! I sure did write a lot and meanwhile I have gotten nothing accomplished this evening that I had wanted to, and before I know it Dean will be home and then I wont get anything done either! Maybe I’ll try to conjure up some more memories while I work around the house…..
