I got an email out of the blue from an old friend the other day.  She found me from my blog.  Hi Cindy!  If you're out there still.  Anyway, it's always nice to hear from old friends/coworkers.

I've been under the weather this week.  No. Energy. Whatsoever.  Oh, and I've lost my voice.  Stinkin' laryngitis.  I got to tell you, when a talker like me gets laryngitis, life is hard!  But, then again, it's been nice to sit back and just listen.  I'm sure I don't do that enough.  

Because I was sick, I had to make some changes in my plans for the weekend.  My son and I were going to fly to Little Rock and then drive to Murfreesboro and did for diamonds.  We were going to go here.  I've never been and I even grew up in Arkansas.  My son loves geology so this would have been right down his alley.  We'll do it another time.  

And speaking of Arkansas, my hometown of Fayetteville got snow today.  Can you believe it?  Snow in May.  Unbelievable.  It was warmer up north today. 

There is nothing else new going on here.  I'm looking forward to an easy weekend so I can rest and feel better.

It's late and I'm sleepy.  It seems I've developed some bad sleeping habits like my husband.  I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.  I wake up every night around 3 or so.  Ugh.

Our new kitties are still cute but the male kitty has started a new game.  He sticks his paw in his glass of water and flips it over.  Water goes everywhere.  He learned this little trick from our dog (whom he thinks is his girlfriend or something).  She flips her empty dog bowl over when she wants to be fed more.  He, unfortunately, hasn't figured out the difference between an empty dog bowl and a glass full of water.  PITA.

What goes around comes around...in a good way!

Last week a passenger called who had just gotten off the flight.  He asked if anyone had found a Brooks Brothers bag near 5C.  I explained to him that the flight had just left (I knew it had turned out and assumed it was in the air) but I could call the gate in Detroit to see if the gate agent could take a look when it got there.  He was appreciative but I knew he probably wouldn't see that bag again.  

A few minutes later I heard that the plane was on a ground stop and it wouldn't have an update from Detroit for another 30 minutes.  And that they were coming back to the gate to let two passengers off.  Wow.  I knew I needed to meet the plane and go on board to ask the flight attendant to check above 5C.  I did and the bag was there.  What a great feeling to call the passenger back with the good news.

Fast forward to Saturday night.  I'm with my sister and I stop by a gas station to drop a letter in the mailbox.  I hear something fall out of the car and but my sister doesn't here it.  I didn't check thinking it was my imagination.  I hop back in the car and we drive on to my house (about 20 minutes).  

We were home for about 15 minutes when someone calls my husband's cell phone.  A man had found my cell phone in the Sheetz parking lot (gas station) and called to let my husband know.  Unbelievable.  My husband grabs a bottle of wine and meets up with the man a few miles down the road.  The man even lived near us.  Simple amazing.  I got my phone back and I never knew it was lost...

Hello World.  I've come down with a cold and feel fairly miserable right now.  Of course,  I worked today.  We are short-staffed at work and yet, have a boss who is not very understanding.  Can't stand the guy.  However, today I checked in one of the local cardiologists and re-introduced myself.  I used to work with him at the local hospital a few years ago when I would fill in for vacations.  I found out that his clinic is building a facility that is supposed to be finished in the fall.  They will put in a nuclear gamma camera and be hiring a tech!  I told him I will come by and drop off my resume.  Hooray!  I'm trying to get back into the healthcare industry.  I miss it (and it pays a whole lot better than the airlines!).  

I do wish I could go on an oversees trip soon, too!  I want to go back to Dubai and see my friend.  And the heat would be nice, as well.  And the Lebanese food.  To die for.  I wouldn't mind the Caribbean, either.  Oh, to be rich.  

Gotta go to bed.  I'm exhausted.
