Not a good day at work

I very very rarely will have a "bad" day at work. In fact since I started back full time February 2013, there's only one day I can think of that I would call a bad work day. That was the day of a deadline on a big project when the company servers crashed. I was the only one who could do work on a file that was supposed to be shared between myself and 3 other people. So with the deadline looming at 5pm, I was trying to do the work of 4 people.

Today I will call a bad day at work and generally just a bad day. Grace woke us up at 5am saying her ear hurt so I'm tired. I drop off Ellie at her school, Liam at camp, take Grace to the doctor (and wait), pick up the prescription (and wait), give it to her, take it home to put in the fridge, then take her back to camp. So already I'm not in the office until 11:30.

I go to sign in the computer. You know, the one with all my custom commands and settings? It won't let me log in. I try again, same thing. Restart and try again, same thing. Basically, our dedicated IT person spent all day (and probably still is) trying to get the thing just to run. I spent my time on the shared computer, which is great that they have. The problem is that the user profile I've built for over a year is only on the personal desk top hard drive so I have no custom settings on this thing. Every shortcut key I have programmed on my own profile does something different in the base version. Not to mention that the shared computer is not as quick memory wise. It took me 3 times as long to do a set of mark ups than it should have.

*sigh* Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better.

The best part of today was that when I stomped inside and said "I'm having a bad day!" Grace said "Sit down and tell us about it." <heart melting>

This woman is a one year survivor!

Happy "cancerversary" everyone! This is not just a celebration for me and my family but for everyone who has supported us in any way, big or small. We have an amazing support group and couldn't have made it through the last year without you. Charles is my biggest supporter and he's been my rock, best friend, and basically a single dad for a while now. Kudos to him and I love you!

We are celebrating today with the news that my MRI scan from two days ago was clear!!

I don't know yet if I passed my test or not. Honestly, keeping up with my family is MUCH more tiring than studying. My last chemotherapy pill was almost exactly 6 months ago. The doctor said it could be a full year before I'm back to my normal stamina. Hopefully by Christmas, I will be back to super awesomesauce mom.

So thank you everyone!

And to make this day even sweeter, I passed my exam! I now have EIT next to my name.
