Hump Day Wednesday...
So, I haven't posted anything for a few days...what's new...not much really...
My "excitement" for the week was getting the PCs and thin clients back in at work that we had sent off to be repaired...not really all that exciting... It was even less exciting when I found out that a majority of the problems wasn't the fact that the thin clients were bad...it was certain ports on the network switch...YUCK! This fiasco required several trips back and forth to the server room and Evelyn stopping me to ask how many miles I had traveled up and down the hallway! I really wish I had a pedometer to see just how many steps I take during a regular day...and the day I was swapping out monitors would have been a lot! I would think that I would be losing some weight by now from all this walking, but eating Skittles when I actually have time to sit down does NOT help!
I've had my friend Kelly in my thoughts a lot these past few days. She has been waiting for a double-lung transplant for a few months and has came really close to "Get'n A New Pair" these past two weeks. On June 3rd she had her first "dry run", this one she was second in line to receive the pair of lungs if they didn't match up to the first recipient in line. On Saturday Kelly had two more dry runs where she was the first recipient to receive lungs, but they weren't a match, and she also had a dry run yesterday where the lungs were unusable. I know it has to be hard on her, thinking that she might be receiving a transplant but then it doesn't work out. With the increased frequency of dry runs, I'm hoping that it will happen soon for her and she doesn't have to endure any more false alarms. The quicker that she receives her transplant, is sooner that she heals and she can head home from North Carolina!

(This is Kelly at the benefit auction we held to help cover her expenses, which was 2-3 weeks before they left to go to North Carolina.)
Well, I guess I had better call it a night. I have work tomorrow and then approximately a million-and-one things to do tomorrow after work (give or take a few). I had big plans for what I was going to do after work, but my total lack of energy just was working against me! ... Let's see what all I can manage to cram in tomorrow!
