ready to dress up

Those of you that know me, know I love to dress up!  Sitting around the house in lounge wear has been relaxing, but not "me"...if you know what I mean.  

I introduced Jennifer to Ceviche at Antonio's yesterday and she texted me stating she was so hungry for it again.  I suggested we go eat sushi since her husband is out of town and her girls are too!  She said done deal, so we made plans to go out for dinner at 6pm.  I had an excuse to get dressed up and go out for a girls night out.  Boy was it fun to wear my heels again!!!  No, I couldn't walk fast in them, but dressing up sure felt good.  

We went to Sushi Axiom and enjoyed a yummy dinner.  We chatted for about 2 hours and then she brought me home...and we chatted nearly another two hours in the driveway!  I told her that I could have offered for her to come in, yet here we sat in the car with it running having one of those memorable chats you have with girlfriends.  I finally said I needed to go to bed and we called it a night.  

It was a fun girls night!

no work??? I am trying!

I am not supposed to be working.  For two full weeks.  

I knew it would be hard.  Yet, I promised my doctor I wouldn't.  

Late yesterday afternoon and early this morning has been hard. Issues have come up with my favorite client, no they are more than my favorite, they are my #1 Client!!!  

• An employee quit [did not return to work after a week out being sick and has now made it clear they have no intentions of returning].  Options needed to be discussed.  Input was needed.  An emergency plan had to be reviewed.
• The IRS sent documents that have to be signed and returned before I return to work. Input, advice and what to do was needed.
• Texas Workforce Commission sent paperwork on an employee that Quit but now wants Unemployment that must be completed before I return to work or the case is closed and not in our favor.  An online report had to be filed.  

What did I do?  I worked for an hour yesterday.  I worked for 90 minutes today.  

I had to.  

But now trying to get these thoughts out of my brain and return to the no work zone is hard.  Yup, it is hard.  You don't think so?  You try it!

...but with the encouragement of my friends, unless something critical comes up, I am headed back to my work free rest zone.  I went a week without working or responding to stuff.  I know I can do one more week!

collection calls...already! [ugh]

It has only been a week since surgery...and I am already getting collection calls. 

Oh sweet pea, you are messing with the wrong chic. I work in the industry and you don't have a determination yet from my insurance company, and though I don't expect it to be favorable, you are pushing my button way too soon! The payment plan agreement was for when/if the insurance truly does not cover this as expected. 

Go file the claim and wait a few weeks and then I will work at paying my monthly payments for the rest of my life!
