My Store

by

Did anyone notice my store yet? The link to it is at the top of the left sidebar.

It’s one of those AMAZON stores, and I filled the store with just about every product that Amazon carries.

I was hoping that perhaps, if some of my visitors already shop at Amazon if you might do some of your shopping through my Amazon store? I’ll get a small commission and you’ll be helping me earn a little bit of money- which I need since I’m not working due to my illness.

I’d really appreciate it if you would use my store if you are going to shop at Amazon anyway. Please, please please? You’ll get the products you want for a good price and you’ll be helping out a bloggin friend at the same time.

Thanks!





I’m not missing

by

I’ve been getting notes of concern from my blogging friends lately. It seems my sticky post up top is causing some confusion and people haven’t scrolled down to see that there are current posts below the sticky post.

I’m here folks! Really! Posting away like a good blogger should be.

I haven’t been feeling well for most of this week though, unfortunately, and this has caused me to make very few of my regular visits to the blogs that I normally frequent. That’s probably added to the confusion.

Even though I haven’t been feeling the best these days I am still plugging away behind the scenes. I’m writing more posts than ever. Just take a look at the number of posts in my October and November Archives and you’ll see that I’ve started writing more than 100 posts per month. That’s a lot!

In fact I’ve been writing so much that I’ve started to think about becoming a professional blogger. I keep hoping that I’ll get back to my job as an ER nurse, but if I don’t start feeling better soon that may not happen. Even if I do go back I’m not sure I’ll be able to do 4 12 hour shifts in a row again, so I might switch to part time nursing if I can’t handle it.

With that in mind I’ve applied for a few blogging positions. Most only involve writing at most a post a day on a blog, some require fewer posts per week. Why not try it out.

Chris got the Job!

by

Remember I told you that my husband had applied to become an OR Recovery room attendant at the hospital that we both work at? We were supposed to hear last Monday if he got the job or not.

Even though there had been signs all along that he did get the job such as the schedule changing on his current position marking him as not available for the last two weeks of November, nobody called to officially say he got the job.

So last Tuesday, Chris frustrated with his Portering shifts being cut again this week (he only had one two hour shift on Wednesday!) went in to speak with the OR recovery room area director. She’d some how misplaced our phone number, but yes he had the job.

Chris starts on Monday!

He’ll be working 4 8 hour shifts per week, 7:30 am to 3:30 pm and when he’s fully trained he’ll be on call every second or third weekend.

We’re both very pleased since he’ll be working for a better boss, and he’ll have more hours. The job is probably a bit easier than what he was doing as a porter too so that’s a plus. Although Chris is a very hard worker, so I hope he doesn’t get bored.

Credit card search engine

by

Hey, I found a great site that you can use to search for Credit Cards. You can compare all kinds of credit cards, and credit card rates.

Even if you don’t have the best credit card rating the Credit Card Search Engine can help you find a suitable credit card. You can find every thing from Low Interest, Cash Back, Airline miles, Rewards, business, student and credit cards for bad credit. You can even apply safely and securely online. Try it out if you’re looking to get a new credit card.
