The Verdict Is In

To make a long story short, my brakes are bad on my car. I need to replace 1 rotor. My uncle Ron said that the brakes were defective because they ruined my rotor in a matter of 2 weeks. Nobody had my rotor in stock because my car is a new model. A few people couldn't even order them. The Dodge dealer didn't even have them!! We have to wait until tomorrow to get a rotor. Poor Jazz…

My new job is working out well. I am liking it. I'm still in orientation and am not sure how much longer I will need it.

I'm having problems with my car. At first, I thought it was my brakes. Now, I'm not so sure that is what it is. I'm going to take my car to my uncle's today so he can look at it. If it isn't my brakes, he'll tell me.

I have an appt with my local dodge dealer who I'm already not happy with! I paid almost $3000 for a lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty for my car which includes a rental if I need it. Well, this dealership doesn't have rentals. If it takes more than a couple of hours, I'm going to need something. I only have one car.

Okay, enough of my complaining…

Did I Make That Up?

It usually goes something like this: I am doing my nurse duties and educating the patient on the side effects of the medication that was prescribed for them. I tell them that this medicine will make them “snacky.” The patient usually looks at me like I'm speaking a foreign language. Then I proceed to explain what I mean.

I am wondering if this is something that was made up in our family as I could not find it in my dictionary application. We have probably made up quite a few words that I use on a regular basis. “Snacky” seems like an appropriate word to me. I think it was one of those words that was funny when it was first said and was just adopted into our family jargon. One example was when Ilana was younger, she called a skunk a “stunk.” They have been called that ever since. It makes sense…

I had my functional capacity test with physical therapy for the job at another hospital. They had to do this because my injuries were less than 10 years ago. This wore me out! I had to do things repetitively. I haven't had to do that since I was in rehab. It wore the Physical Therapist out too. That made me feel a little better. :)
