So I went to a walk in clinic this morning.  I just could not stand feeling like this anymore.  And my doctor couldn’t see me until Friday and I knew I could not wait anymore.  The diagnosis was bronchitis.  Now I have had bronchitis before but I have never been this sick.  I wasn’t getting enough oxygen in my blood so they did a breathing treatment right there in the office.  Afterwards it was a better- not at 100%, but at 96%- which is acceptable.  So the doctor put me on an inhaler and a nice strong prescription because I have an infection.  Now I’m just waiting to feel better.


I like the idea of naming your child something a little bit different. But not too different so that the child gets picked on or teased in school. When I was teaching in an inner city school the kids had very different names. And sometimes the parents would spell the names so differently that if you sounded it out the name would not be pronounced the way the parent wanted it pronounced. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. Children should have names that are easy for them to learn and spell.

I was reading some “news” today about the names that celebrities give to their children and I think some of the names are simply ridiculous. Check out the story here.


We are talking about moving after the holidays.  We are not happy where we live and since we both work from home it only makes sense to move and be closer to our family, including my stepdaughter.  There are a few repairs we need to do to our house before we put it up for sale.  We are going to need to get a few new lighting fixtures, replace the floor tiles in our entry way and do a little bit of painting.   Not a whole lot- but it should be fun to try to get things done with a 2 year old around!


Are you running a business?  If you own a business then unfortunately, I’m sure theft is a concern.  It’s too bad that everyone is not honest, but that is just the way the world works.  So in order to keep your business protected you should probably install a video surveillance camera.  This should help to deter your customers and employees from trying to steal from you.  At ITPlanet there is a large variety of security cameras you can pick from. 

In addition to the security cameras, ITPlanet has many other technology related products such as barcode scanners and barcode label printers.  They will certainly be able to help your business be more successful.
