The End of May

Now May is almost over. May is a great month in New Jersey. The weather is pretty much a perfect temp. No coats needed and not real hot. Today it is threatening to rain with thunder showers. I don't work today. I worked 3 days this week and that was plenty. Being short of people it seems I work twice as much. I guess I really do because the same amount of work has to get done without enough people to do it. It's kind of scary since I work in a hospital and accuracy is very important but everybody just wants speed. They want everything done yesterday. And most people are so rude. They think their test is the only thing I have to do. Ha!
Today I have to go grocery shopping and can't seem to get in the mood. I guess I just need to go. Once I'm out I'm glad I'm out it's just so hard to get out. Maybe I'll look at some fish. I started an aquarium and have one fish so far. It is a beautiful betta fish. I think I might get him a female maybe he will be happier then. I went to the movies Wed. night with my Mom. We saw Indiana Jones. We both liked it. Lots of action and a good escape from reality.

Middle of May Already

Time really fly's whether your having fun or not. Today I did my first Skype call over the internet. I got to talk to Carrie and her girls. It was really fun. She couldn't see me though but I figured out what I was doing wrong. I have an external video cam and it is microsoft. It works with windows live so I can't have that one on when I am on skype. I hope to try it again tomorrow.
I worked tonight. It was busy as usual. I bought 2 pairs of earings from a guy at work that makes them. They are made of silver and very pretty. I am giving one pair to a friend of mine who is moving away. We are very short of people at work. We have 2 people out on long term sick leave and one just moved. So I signed up to work and extra night this week. I bought my dinner in the hospital cafeteria. It was pretty good. I had a chicken gyro and zucinni fries.
I have been reading about geocaching lately. I think it would be fun. It's like treasure hunting. I get a yearly cash back from my credit card and I have to use it at costco. So I want to go there and see if they have the hand held gps units that they use for geocaching. I hope to go this week while Ian is off from school so he can go with me. I have to go to Delaware to shop at Costco. He starts a summer class next week. It will be everyday for a month. Then he is taking another class after that one for another month. He wants to finish up next year.
