Hey Kim, Almost Friday :nuke: Just helping my man with a project for his work so we in the office.

Exercise keeps me sane lol and keeps my stress under control lol but true

We all go thru times in life that we cant workout and gain weight and eat too much!!! But today is the perfect day to set a small goal to get back to where you wanna be!! Start with day to day, maybe a 30 minute walk 3 times a week.

Do you drink alot of water???

What was wrong with your mom???

[KIMYNURSE2B]

I need to put down the coffee and drink more water

Mom had a blockage in her intestine, had surgery then all heck broke out if there was a compication she got it.

MRSA & VRE in wound, a fistula in her intestine ( a hole in her intestene that feces came out of into abdominal cavity) 2 MI's and a bunch of compications that she could not get out of hospital from.

Mulitible time I got "the call" she never gave up and now she is home with a perm Illeostomy and doing great.

[KIMYNURSE2B]

I was working about 50 hours a week and trying to find my replacement, but I was so pumped about school

they money goes right to BOCES

Is it a one on One thur? Or an open foram/fair type deal?

Yes the longer days are making me happy I can't wait to go sailing

I work at a marina on Sat.

Yes you can, not alot of places hire you and if you fail the boards I hear you will be let go. So I will wait to work as an LPN till I pass the boards.

We are in school the 26th, I will look for you

How old are you?
