It's a beautiful day out today...

I have to admit, I am apparently losing track of my days! This not working thing is really throwing me off. I have been rushing around all morning getting ready for my doctors appointment with my workers compensation doctor at 1:00, come to find out it is actually at 2:00...tomorrow. All I can do is laugh at myself.

I would make the trip into town anyways, but since I have to be there tomorrow, might as well save the gas. -_-

The last few days I have been reading A Suitcase and Stilettos and am just loving Megan's blog. She has been all over the world and has so much life experience, which is exactly what I am craving right now! I am enjoying living vicariously through her. She moved to Norway to live with her boyfriend this summer and is currently journaling about her new life.

I am surprised at how many American women have moved to Scandinavia with to live with their Scandinavian boyfriends! As most of you know, I find the blond haired, blue eyed men delectable and have to ask, where are they meeting all of these beautiful men?! I met a few while in Los Angeles, but alas they are either married or famous.

Of course my ideal man would look something like this ----> , which leaves me to wonder, is there some sort of Swedish exchange dating program? Hmmm....

Speaking of Swedish men makes me reflect on their style of pants, and while I am not a big fan of skinny jeans, with this man the tighter the better! :o)

This evening I am going to be meeting up with my Aunt, Uncle, cousin Darin and his kids over pizza. Believe it or not, I am not craving the pizza but the salad bar! Round Table has a great salad bar and I love their ranch dressing. Yum!

So what is your favorite pizza place or who do you think makes the best ranch dressing?

Thoughtful Thursday

Today has been a nice day. The weather was gorgeous and I have had the whole house open all day, enjoying the fresh air. Before too much longer it will be too cold to enjoy that!

Spent the evening catching up on Mike and Molly, one of my favorite shows. I just love Melissa McCarthy, she was so cute on The Gilmore Girls and she just shines on this show. She seems very comfortable in her own skin and I think she is gorgeous.

I should have worked on my book today but I didn't have the drive. I need to get back in my groove and stop wasting time. My Aunt asked today when she could preview chapter 1. I theory she can now, but I don't feel like it is ready and want her to be engrossed in it, not find it boring.

I talked to my claim adjuster today for my workers compensation insurance and everything is still on track. I am no longer covered under FMLA as of the last day of September, which makes me a bit nervous...but absolute worse case scenario is if they let me go, I will continue to receive my workers comp pay until the dr releases me back to work, then I will be covered under unemployment.

I am not sure what is going to happen. I have my last PT appointment tomorrow and my next doctors appointment is Wednesday. I would be surprised if he put me back to work but I know it will be coming soon enough. Frankly, the timing couldn't be worse. The next few months will be our busiest at work and I don't think I am going to keep up. Once I am released to full duty I will be handling an average of about 150 phone calls a day and typing 80+ words a minute non-stop for 7.5 hours straight.

Doing this will put me right back where I started. sigh

Another thing I am absolutely dreading is having to work with my ex. I seriously can not believe they hired him while I have been on leave. My bosses knew about how terrible our relationship was,  I can't believe I am going to have to see him on a daily basis.

Not only is it terrible they hired him, but it is even worse he applied! If I had applied to his place of work he would have flipped his lid.

Am I the only one out there who has an ex get a job at their current place of employment? If not, tell me what happened!
