TGIS (Thank God its Saturday)

This has been a heck of a week. It was a payroll week for me, so that meant a very busy week. Top that off with Brian's job woes, Kristi sick, weather, and all of the other stuff going on at work you set yourself up for a week from down below! Of course, this wasn't all that happened this week.
Brian did not get the job that he wanted. He will be transferring to Telephone repair on December 1. He is not happy about this and has started sending out resume' for other jobs. Brian is really quick learner, but I don't really think he is cut out for telephone repair. He is looking forward to the raise in pay, but not anything else. I told him to keep his chin up and do his best until he can find something else.
Kristi is getting over her cold/sinus infection. This really grabbed her and held on. On top of this she is dealing with a terrible teacher in Sociology class. Also, she has to go on Monday for another uterine biopsy. She has to go every 3 months for tests and the test results are not getting any better. Pre-cancerous with more cells at each biopsy. I am going to ask the doctor this time about switching to a oncologist instead of a GYN doctor. I am really afraid that she is going to have to have a hysterectomy in the very near future.
Mom is leaving to go to Arizona to see the grandkids on November 28th for 2 weeks. I happened to check the airline and she could get a ticket for $90 and we couldn't pass up this deal. Mom is really excited about seeing the grandkids out there not to mention the warm weather. We are going to Larry & Gails for Thanksgiving dinner and then mom and I will spend the night and I will take her to the airport on Friday.
Amy is in the hospital. For those of you who don't know - Amy is my van. When we bought my van the salesman kept referring it to Amy's van because it was used by the owners wife, Amy. So we just named her Amy after that. Anyway, Thursday mom and I decided that we wanted to go see Larry while he was in the hospital for his 2nd round of chemo. I noticed just after we left home that I was getting cold air while mom was getting warm air. Stopped at Chrysler and they put in a new module. Well, that only made it worse - now it was all cold. We made it to and from Independence to see Larry with the aid of heated seats. At least something was warm!!! Took the van in on Friday and they have to ordered parts so she won't be home until mid-week next week. They said that she was sick. They told Tom that we could come and get it last night to drive it until the parts come in, but no heat. Tom told them absolutely not...we have both mom and Alayna riding in there and we need heat. So they got us a rental car.
Today, Tom, Kristi, Brian, and one of Kristi's friends are going to see the new James Bond movie. Alayna, Oma, and I will be stuck at home...ahhhh we won't be out in this cold...bummer :)
