Stairs

Came home today thinking I would try to fit in a nice workout before dinner. Then I fell down the stairs. :/ Danny thinks I need one of those chair lift things that takes you up and down the stairs safely. The pain radiating through my shoulder and hand agrees.

Thankful November

I stole this idea from a few people who were posting on Facebook… daily notes on what you are thankful for throughout November. I already missed a few days, but I will try to make up for it: 1 November – I am thankful to be a part of the United States Armed Forces and the US Air Force Pharmacy Family. Last week, I attended the Joint Forces Pharmacy Seminar where members from all different branches come together to share ideas and learn what is new and upcoming in DoD Pharmacy. Even though the event was almost cancelled, our learership stepped up and made it happen for another year. This was my first Joint Forces, and it was really awesome to see everyone come together like that, sharing stories and experiences. I am thankful to be a part of something so much bigger than myself and I look forward to everything the future has to bring within this organization. 2 November – I am thankful for short hair! I recently cut it and it’s the shortest it’s been …

Blood Money

Well… to be a little more specific, plasma money. They say you should live like a student while you are paying off student loans. Well I’m now taking that to the next level. Danny and I have resorted to selling our plasma for extra spending money. Yes, I am a full-time pharmacist, but there are too many flights to buy! :) I’m not sure how I feel about it yet; we only went the one time so far, but I have my second “donation” scheduled for tomorrow. I must say, walking into the BioLife place doesn’t quite give me the warm fuzzies like the blood bank, and it’s not quite as luxurious either (no warm blankets or calcium chews to munch on when your lips start to tingle… and they didn’t even have one of those hand things for me to squeeze to get my blood pumping), but it’s hard to say no to free money when all you have to do is sit there and read for a little while. I figure I will keep it up …

K-LOVE, you trickster

Today, I finally decided to leave my car radio set on K-LOVE for a while. I constantly find myself skimming through stations and landing on a station playing a song I haven’t heard before. I listen for a while, thinking, hmm… this has a nice tune… I wonder why I haven’t heard this song before. Then, after listening closer to the words that I have begun singing along to, I realize I am singing about the lord. That’s about the time I remember that I am not actually religious. Oh well… what can ya do… I still enjoy the tunes.
