Sunday, April 22, 2007
Due for an update, I suppose...Let's see...I dunno if I already mentioned that Seth moved back to the Valley. We haven't seen or heard from him much, which I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, it seems pretty crappy to be so close by & still not make the effort with Tyson, but on the other (more selfish) hand, the less we see of him, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I know that sounds mean, but I just don't want Tyson to follow in his footsteps. Seth actually called me this morning to ask me to pick him up from work & take him to the hospital, since his dad had a heart attack, so I did.
We had Tyson's 11th birthday party a couple of weekends ago. I got him a LaBron James jersey he's been wanting but I couldn't afford & The Simpson's Season 4. He had baseball practice on Friday & we had two of his buddies stay the night afteward, then had two others meet us at Pizza Hut, where we played video games & ate a really yummy Dairy Queen Blizzard cake. Lisa met me there so that we could bus the boys over to the skating rink & we got ourselves a nice workout there, too! On the night of Tyson's actual birthday, I took Tyson & his friend, Triston, to Red Lobster (Ty's favorite restaurant) & we pigged out. (Of course, I, the sea-food hater, ordered chicken!)
Tyson has been on a health kick for quite a while now & wants to work out at the workout room here at the apts all the time in addition to meeting up with several friends to play hoops at the YMCA. He also will only eat junk on special occasions. It's really paying off for him - he looks really nice & lean, even though he will always have muscle mass. I'm really proud of him for his committment. He's actually at the Y right now while I was at home doing some extra transcription work for Brenda this week. It was surprisingly easy, which is nice, but will mean a smaller check...
Last week was a killer. We had to get all of our charges & payments posted & everything billed out etc. in time to close out Medical Manager by noon on Friday. Now we won't be able to use Med Mgr (although we can access it for a reference, but can't make any entries etc.) ever again. Our data is currently being converted to the new software & we will be live with Centricity May 7. During our training, I was still never taught how to post a payment, make an adjustment or do any billing, so I'm just a little nervous...It's been very draining.
On top of all the work stuff, I decided to be a good Mom & volunteer to be our baseball team's official scorekeeper. This didn't sound like much & I figured, hey, I'll be at all the games, anyway, so why not? Well, let me tell you - it is an entirely different language, mostly made up of hieroglyphic-type codes, or so it seems! I've done 2 games now & I know I'm not doing everything right, although I really am doing my best. I just hope it's enough of what they're looking for to be helpful & that I'll get the hang of it soon!
In other news, after much flirting back & forth, I got asked out by a little cutie-pie at one of the restaurants that Lisa & I frequent for lunch. By little, I mean that he's 24 years old & I've never dated a guy more than a year younger than me - my theory is that men already mature so much slower than women & I'm pretty mature for my age, so if anything, I should be dating older guys (although I'm tentatively hopeful that the men have mostly caught up by age 31)! Anwyay, this guy wrote down his myspace addy so I could check it out and thank goodness I did! I was already a little trepadicious because of the age discrepancy, but he's even less mature than I gave him credit for! He literally stated on his profile that he is an "unmotivated stoner"! Boy, do I know how to pick 'em, or what?! I've decided that I'll still go to the restaurant, because I really do like their food & it's closest to my work, and I'll even still flirt with him, 'cause it's fun, but if he tries to ask me out again, I'll just tell him that we are from two different worlds & he's gotta settle for being my little cupcake from the restaurant! This little experience simply renews my conviction that the Man Upstairs is keeping me from guys until the one that I've been waiting for is in the position to come whisk me off my feet!
