Since our sale in January, there has been a bad something going around at work. It is actually just being passed between the managers in the department and me. I have already gotten sick once, but since then I have been doing pretty good about avoiding it. My dad suggested I try drinking a lot of hot tea, and some other of his homemade concoctions, he calls them his herbal treatments, I call them questionable. No matter what I eat before, at, or after work, I am not taking any chances. I keep Purel on every floor, register, and the workbench. I refuse to shake their hand anymore, no offense to them of course, but I have been really paranoid since the last time. When the illness was passed to me I missed four days of work and felt about the worst I had ever felt. I actually try covering up my mouth when one of them walks into the room. They take it as a joke for the most part, but there is always a chance that I do not want to take. Last time I was sick I could hardly pull myself out of bed. This time, I will avoid it like the plague (which it very well could be) and stay as healthy for as long as possible.
I’m so embarrassed—I almost couldn’t face my roommate. Last month, I bought this really dynamite pair of gray slacks to complement my light blue dress shirt. Now I have at least two outfits to wear to dinners and business functions. You’re asking, what’s the problem then? Well, the problem is I don’t have a sufficient amount of wire closet organizers—otherwise known as “hangers.” In my smaller closet space, I have lots of wire dividers, for bookkeeping purposes. But in my clothes closet, I don’t have enough room for all my pants! That’s pretty darned embarrassing. Where am I keeping this delightful new pair of slacks? In a DRAWER. They’re in a little dresser drawer, and God knows I had to fold them up about four times just to get them in there, so you know I’ll have to iron them before actually putting them on: they’re already pretty well wrinkled. My roommate has an iron and a board, so I have to wait until he gets back—which is never—to use them. I do have a family party coming up to celebrate my youngest sister’s engagement. She’s marrying some guy who’s a millionaire. They’re going to live in the Hamptons. Whoop-dee-doo!!! At this point I wouldn’t mind having a single apartment in Queens, for God’s sake. It looks like I’d better wear my old stand-by outfit, the navy-blue slacks, the navy-blue sport coat and my light-blue shirt, for this engagement supper. It’ll be weeks before I can even get in communication with my roommate.
When I was looking for a home security system, I was shown many different options with many different features. I ultimately chose to go with a wireless alarm system over a more traditional hard wired alarm system because of a few of the wireless alarm benefits simply couldn’t be matched by a hard wired system. Firstly, and in my opinion, most importantly – the wireless system that I chose has cellular notification to the monitoring station – that means that even if a burglar cuts the phone lines, the police will still be notified. Many hard wired alarm systems work through land phone lines and would be rendered useless if the lines were cut or if a long power outage occurred. Secondly, the cost of the installation of the wireless system was next to nothing when compared to the hard wired system because there is so much less labor involved. That being said, I’d pay whatever amount of money it took to ensure the safety of my family, but if I can get a better, more reliable product and pay less for it, than I’m going to. Just because something costs more money, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s better, and when considering a security system the best product should be purchased, not the most expensive or the most popular.

My Mom had to go to a class last night, so left me with my Grandparents. I love staying there because there house is like going back in the past. It is really clean and neat but has a country style to it. I love opening drawers and finding treasures from my Grandparents early years together. Grandma says everything has a place, and everything isin its place. She has a special place where she likes to keep medical supplies. When I got the mail for her today, there was a Free Diabetes Test Kit that was sent to Grandpa. Grandma let me find a place for it with the medical supplies. I also like to go through all of the old novels Grandpa has in his study. I can spend days just browsing through there. I don’t really have to go to the library if I don’t want to. Grandpa even has comic books! Those are my favorite when I have just a few minutes to spend there while Grandma and my Mom talk in the kitchen. I am going to have to start my own library, so that when I have grandkids, they can come over and browse through all the old books that I have collected over the years.
I had done my research, I knew just about everything there was to know about the lasik procedure. I know that the cornea is cut and a flap folded down, and that portions of the eyes are cut away with a laser before the flap is replaced, which permanently changes the shape of the cornea altering the vision in that eye. All I have to do now is find a place that does lasik in Missouri that I feel comfortable going to. I’m not as scared of the procedure as most people probably are, but I want the doctor I choose to be one that I trust. I went on the Lasik Eye Surgery website, which gives a nationwide directory of doctors that perform the procedure. There are close to forty doctors in and around St. Louis alone and so far I’ve scheduled consultation appointments with ten of them. From the individual practices’ web pages, it seems that each and every one of the is the absolute best at what they do, but I won’t personally be convinced until I’ve met them face to face and seen each of their offices. I’d like to hear from each of them what technology they are using and what I can expect from the experience of dealing with them. Going through this procedure isn’t like buying a car, I can’t test drive my eyes to see how I like them, once this is done – it’s done, I want to be very sure that I’m choosing the right doctor.
In reference to distance education there are few drawbacks. Because many adult learners do not have open schedules to meet academic programs at traditional schools and colleges, many potential students often choose to enroll in a distance learning school where they can gain education and training in the convenience of their own homes and in accordance to their own work and life routines.
