Morning!  Hi Judy!

Lisa, good luck with the interview.

Laura, I sure hope your new partner works out.  It's time for you to have some good work karma.

Karen, on the husband parent visit, how about a compromise, esp since you don't get much vacation?  You could go for a 3 day weekend, then he could spend time with his parent's  talking about you for a few days.  (Kidding.) I remember dreading visiting hubby's dad who lived on a farm in rural GA-nothing to do and he remarried which meant there was a stranger in the mix.  However,  I hate thinking my DD and hubby might feel that way about visiting me.

Tessa,  it does sound like a crazy busy life!

Demaris, get well soon.  Colds are the pits.

Marjorie, I hope all the auditor stuff went ok.

Carol, at least you're finishing your charts!  I know the patients appreciate it!

Sugarland, hi!

Ginny, it even snowed here Tues., just scattered flakes but it is late March! It was mid 20's the next morning. I don't know how that affected the trees in bloom, but I imagine the pear and apple trees could have been hurt.

Cindy, I keep getting 10 miler emails.  I hope your training is still going well!

Hi to everyone else!

I have been doing something everyday. I did a run/walk at Gibbs Gardens yesterday. Walked where other people were and ran when I was in a quiet area.  If you're ever in the area in late March, the daffodils are worth a visit...hillsides are covered.  So nice! It's pouring today so I'll bike or do stairs later. I have to call IRS today with a question. I'm charging the battery now so if I'm hold half the day, I have a chance.

Susan, your race is this Sunday, right? Have fun and run fast (traveling/working this weekend so I don't know when/if I'll be online).

Camille, that's a good idea about DH going for longer and me just flying in. It's not that I don't like his mom, it's just boring as all get out and I sit there annoyed that I'm "wasting" precious vacation time. And while I did bring up "when's the last time you went with me to my parents' house?" - for the record it was two years ago and he was pissed he had to go because he wanted to do a bike race that weekend, but my dad wanted to do a family picture "before he died" - I get bored there after a couple days too. Although Ginny posted a sweet-looking half marathon at Cedar Point the weekend before the 4th of July on facebook, so if I do agree to go, I could at least do that.

Judy, feel better! Maybe consider skipping the workout and getting some extra rest?

Not sure what I'm going to do workout wise today. I did run 11 yesterday. I may try to squeeze in the speedwork from the other night, I may just run a few easy miles, I may ride the bike if it's raining. Depends on how long it takes to get everything else done I guess. I'm leaving work a couple hours early because we have to get the dog into the kennel (DH is racing out of town this weekend, so Jake still has to go to jail) and drop a car off at the shop. And I have to figure out what I'm wearing for three days of meetings. Even though it's in Florida and we say business casual, staff still has to dress in business attire.

Sue, good luck and have fun  this weekend!  Eating and resting...I'm well trained for that part. : )  Good for you for basting and trying to quilt at home. I just took a class at my shop on machine quilting on home machines. Like you, I've done it, but have never been  happy with how it turns out. I just finished a baby quilt last night and plan to try again.

Anyone else racing?

Carol, enjoy Aly.  It interesting to be a pt with EMR. My doc gets most things in pretty quickly, but my mom's record is a challenge and she has a few docs I try to get records for.  We love her doc, but that office seems so unorganized.  I took  a urine specimen a few weeks ago and when I asked the lab about a missing stool specimen result, it was still unopened in the stack to be done. We'd taken it 3-4 weeks before.  For her, it wasn't a serious...she'd had a repeat CBC which was stable, but other pts.?  I did talk to office manager.   I wonder if the EMR is overworking them so much.  The urine I took, they called and said negative after I called and asked, but no result in record.

Karen, good luck on the in-law visit.  DH and I had same issues with being bored at each other's parent's homes, but ours were just a 2 hour drive apart. We would spend a night or two at one, then the other, then split up.  One of my biggest regrets is making him to come to GA as much as we did, since I wanted to visit more often. He really didn't enjoy it and now I think of the other things he could have done with that time.

My IRS call took about an hour, not bad considering I couldn't figure out how to get a real person for the first 15 minutes and made a few calls trying different options.  FYI,  don't pick an option, just hold till they transfer you.  Then I had to talk to 2 departments.  The first was helpful and easy, but the one in the corporate section was nice enough, but must have OCD.  I read address "E 40th" and had to repeat 3 times before I figured out she wanted me to add "Ave."  The conversation continued that way. Despite having the Tax ID and being person linked to acct, I even had to dig out late hubby's SS and court paperwork for the exact entity name, which she didn't like. Turns out the court official name is longer than the name on the tax forms!  At any rate, I finally confirm what I suspected. They had credited 2 estimated payments to wrong acct with duplicate payments on one acct and none on other.  It shouldn't be an issue now that I know what's on each.. Sorry....I got long winded!

Have a great day. I have to get busy!

9.6 for me today.

Camille yep. They passed no deficiencies.

Carol ol I agree documentation now is more. Meeting the regulations than actually providing treatment.

Carol and Karen--Zydeco Marathon is Sunday in Lafayette, LA.  Looks like weather will be good.

 

Had to share--guy I kayaked with sent me flowers for my birthday...

Good luck!  And awwww.

Hi ladies-

I just wanted to dive in and say a quick hello before we leave for Disney in the morning! I've been reading everyone's posts and keeping up; it's just been so busy getting work wrapped up and getting the kids ready to go that I haven't had time to post. Have a great weekend everyone-
