Based on Chuck's references to bringing food to events, I imagine if he stopped spending money on them his coworkers would all lose about 10 pounds.

Plus, Chuck would save a lot of money and become a millionaire in no time.

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!



The immediate post below was also posted in the Coronavirus thread.  If you read it there, you can skip down.  I'll leave a little bit of a blank space, and then continue more of the post.

just got off the phone with mom.  We have an update on Chris.

Chris had an appointment with a pulmonologist today, to see what's going on with him needing oxygen, as his oxygen levels always seem to drop when he's off oxygen.  As silly as this sounds, I need to go into Chris' past.

When my mother was pregnant with Chris, she started to bleed.  She and dad rushed to the hospital, and the doctors could not find a heartbeat, so they told her she had lost the baby, and gave her medicine to induce labor.

After giving her the meds and waiting, labor hadn't started, they examined, and found Chris' heartbeat.  They immediate gave her another drug to stop the induced labor, and she carried Chris to term.

When Chris was born, he had a concave chest because his chest bones had not fused.  You could see his skin pulsing where his heart was.  He had to have surgery to have a plate put into his chest, to make up for the lost bone.  Part of this procedure (because medicine was not as advanced as it is now) resulted in Chris having part of his lungs removed to accommodate future bone growth and the plate.

The pulmonologist explained that Chris has never had full lung capacity because of this surgery, so that's why his levels drop when he's off the oxygen.

She has cleared him to go back to work, and she's ordered a portable oxygen machine for him.  She also recommended that the machine be dropped down again to a lower level.  She also explained to him that going forward, if he ever gets a virus or pneumonia, he will most likely need oxygen again.

He contacted his job, and they will have a position open for him in March, that will be Monday - Friday, full-time hours, and it's not a problem for him to take his portable oxygen tank, if he needs it.








Y'all are just having fun talking about my baking habits and finances.   With the food that I do bring there, the guys can miss out on Valentine's Day.  In fact, they should be giving me stuff!  So there!  LOL

It wasn't too busy today with work, so I was able to get some reorganizing done in my utility closet, and putting other things away.

I got a package on Saturday from my job.  The company wanted to give their employees a 'thank you' for doing all that we have during the pandemic and working from home, so they gave us all a $25.00 credit to a store that sells items with our company logo on it, and we have until next week to spend it.

(I fought to contain my exictement - ::) )

I went to the site and found three canvas bags that have the company logo on it, and they arrived on Saturday.  I'll use them for grocery shopping.

I get paid again on Friday, and I want to replace my shower curtian.

It's 8 years old now, and showing its age.  It's clean, but there is yellowing and other defects now, so it's time to replace it.

For those who need a reminder, I had this shower curtain.

CellarDweller:
I think I found a great replacement.
