January 08, 2008 I rode the exercise bike this morning for an hour and a half. If it was a real bicycle, I would have been in Belgium by now. — Allison Janney in The West Wing

January 08, 2008 I rode the exercise bike last night for an hour and a half. If it was a real bicycle, I would still be in Fairbanks, Alaska. --Donna J in The (Farthest) North Wing

I long to accomplish a great and noble tast, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. ~Helen Keller, letter to a five-year-old

Japanese prisoners are being mistreated!

I just can't sleep at night knowing that those poor people in overcrowded prisons in Japan are being forced to wear unstylish pajamas! Someone call Gucci and order something with some jewel tone stripes instead of the old drab grey. Oh but someone needs to tell those prisoners that vertical strips are best because they make you look thinner. You should only where horizontal stripes if you are a wafer thin model and want to emphasize your curves.

They also complained that their cells are too small and they wish to receive bread with their dinner instead of rice or noodles. Oh, and they don't want to receive their room service until afer 6pm.

Newsgram! You are in prison IN Japan. Do you think you should be able to sit around eating homemade bread made by Martha Stewart and learn how make a pancho????

Still working! oh, and Merry Christmas.

Well, I've been working at the hospital for over a month now and I'm learning every day. It's been exciting. My boss left on a long vacation/leave right after I started so I don't think my orientation is going quite as she had planned but I'll get there. I just think I am spending a lot more time in one area than she planned. It's has been so busy that I think they are just leaving me in one area to keep things simple. I just don't want to be on orientation forever! I have spent 2 weeks already learning scopes and she said I was signed off and good to go on to the next thing. I went in today though and found myself right back in the same area. I was only supposed to be in each area for one week so really I should be finished with orientation by now and I still have a lot to learn. The one consolation is that I do like the lady that was training me on scopes so I don't mind at all working with her longer and she is teaching me everything she can think of as we go. She's a wonderful lady and a good first new friend/co-worker.

One thing about working at the hospital that I have found unfavorable is that I'm working around a lot of nasty bugs and I caught one! A couple weeks ago I noticed everyone around me was sneezing. All the staff are good about not sharing (of course) but a few of our lovely visitors were sneezing all over the place and well..... I have to breath! I was soooooooooo sick and I just barely made it through the week! When I got home on Friday I just crawled right into bed and crashed. I didn't get out of bed at all on Saturday. I didn't read or watch TV or anything. I was so sick I actually slept all day! When I woke up on Sunday I was starting to feel better. Now I just have a irritating sinus issue but I actually feel like doing some things around the house..... and boy does it need doing! I need a flag for when I make it to the top of Mt. Washmore and another for Dirtydish summit LOL

I do have to add though that a very thoughtful friend sent me a nice CD and it arrived at the perfect time! My Riley brought his CD player in my room and played that CD when I was so sick on Saturday and I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Glenda! I'd hug you if I could.

Oh, and someone said they wanted a Christmas card from me this year so everyone scroll down.


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
