I didn't make it to work today. :( I woke up feeling awful. This darned surgery/ pain medicine has kicked my arse. I haven't taken a pain pill for over 24 hours now so I am hoping that I will get back to normal feeling. Sure, my knee is killing me. I just couldn't take any more upset stomach- that's worse! MacKenzie and I lounged around the house until Jackson got home from work. I had to miss school because I didn't want to throw up in class. Nice, right? We had to be out of the condo tonight because our landlord was showing it to potential renters. What a bad night to be kicked out! I spent an hour tidying up and we were out the door. (Side note: Our landlord got stood up! Bummer! We were hoping to move sooner.)
We decided to eat a Texas Roadhouse tonight because I really wanted a salad and sweet tea. I crutched in to the restaurant- after 2 nice gentlemen held doors open for me- and got a table. I was so thirsty and just wanted a sweet tea. We were seated across the aisle from an older nurse and her son who was leaving to go into the Navy this weekend (I eavesdrop- sue me!) anyway the nurse was one of those know-it-alls. Jackson would argue that all nurses are. ;) She was drinking unsweetened tea and when the waitress accidentally refilled her tea with sweetened she flipped out. She told the waitress that ingesting so much sugar in tea was the cause of diabetes in this nation. (Which should mean that NO ONE in Colorado should have diabetes since you cannot find sweet tea here to SAVE YOUR FREAKIN' LIFE!!!!!!!!!!) The waitress nodded and moved on. When she came back by to refill my sweet tea I told her to load me up with the "nation's evil!" The nurse gave me a dirty look. So be it. She was rude to go on a rant about a southern treat.
The rest of our meal went on without a hitch and we're now in for the evening. I don't take kindly to people dissing sweetened tea. I bet that lady smokes! Ugh!
Good night! I have to work tomorrow for sure. Please keep me in your prayers.

You...eaves drop? NEVER!!!! Good luck at work today; hope the knee and stomach cooperate. Love you.
So all nurses are know it alls!!!! So glad you got your sweet tea.
Hope you are feeling better today.
HaHa, that is hilarious!!
I LOVE IT! Sweet tea is the cause of all the nation's diabetes? What about people drinking huge bottles of soda, binge eating, all you can eat pancakes at I-HOP, and 1000 calorie frapps at coffee shops? Need I go on? A little sweet tea just gives you a cozy homey feeling that makes you say, "Ahhhhh...." And the fact that you were having a salad also shows that you are a healthy minded individual. p.s. As a joke, I bought my friend Jennifer Cochran her first pack of cigarettes when she became a nurse. Isn't it essential to being a part of the nursing crowd? You develop stronger relationships if you take smoke breaks with all the other nurses! "Can I have a smoke," is a great icebreaker when you are the new nurse! hehe.
Shoot - I'm in trouble then, lady! Well...so far the "nation's evil" has been good to me!
