Ghoulies Are Turkey Trottin' Through November

Good Day Ghoulies.  Hard to believe it is November already.

Okay, the race on Sunday morning was quite eventful for me.  I started out great with running 3 minutes and walking 1 minute.  At about 20 minutes into the race my phone starts ringing.  First I ignore the phone.  But the caller keeps calling back.  Mind you, my phone is on my arm, under my jacket.  So the next time the phone rings, I madly get my arm out of the jacket.  The phone stops ringing, and the person does not leave a voice mail.  I do not have my reading glasses on, imagine that, not wearing reading glasses while running.  Anyway, I can't see who called.  After doing this a couple of times, I finally get connected with my daughter.  It turns out that my soon to be 3 year old grandson managed to find my medication and ate one of the pills.  OMG!!! 

Now I'm in a panic trying to remember what pill it was that he could have taken.  I thought it was a particular pill, but I could not be sure.  So I tell her to take the rest of the pills to the emergency room with her and maybe they can tell which one it was since it was in a 7 day pill pack and there was one more day left.  Then I called my neighbor to get into my house and find my pill bottles for me to make sure.  I had guess right as to which one it might have been.  So I called that back to my daughter and she told the Dr. which is might have been.

All is okay, They gave him a chocolate carcoal drink to absorb the meds and observed him for 4 hours to make sure he was okay.  Meanwhile, I saw my son in law on the switch back on the race and told him so that when he got done he could go and get his phone out of the truck and call his wife. 

So, when we get home and pick up the older kids from the hospital, my daughter gave him the pill pack, and I looked to see what was missing.  It turned out that he had eaten the "apple vinegar pill" which would have tasted awful, but was not going to harm him in any way. 

So all ended up good. 

My run time though became really bad, because I managed to walk through two miles of the race dealing with phone calls and could not run.  But that does not matter in the long run.  My grandson being okay was what was important. 

Oh Geez Kendra, not what you want happening ever, let alone during a race.

Page 1! Hi Ghoulies - I've missed you guys. I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Kendra: I sure hope everything turns out OK!

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be runnign at lunch today. Now that I've put it in a public forum, I have no choice but to go  I'll post the details later.

TOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!

RUUUUUUUNNNN!!!!!

Then get your bad self back here!

Yoooo Ghouls. Currently making some chicken cacciatore in the crockpot so I have dinner for tonight, fri, sat and sun. I'm on call all weekend so ya....About a week left in the country before I head back to the city.

It is getting a bit chilly here now. Neal will have to bring a jacket when he comes next week! Haha.

Hey Doc! We've already had snow here. I blame Bill.

No snow here!

Hi Kim! I like my house on the cool side at night, but 49 is pushing it. I hope you have some very good blankies

That's the plan anyway. It would be ironic if I end up getting moved to his old office, which is on the other side of town. Silly work stuff...

I'd like to try and get some runs in up by my campus on class days, but I'm a dummy and always book myself solid with on-campus recruiting meetings before and after class. One of these days I'll take this running thing seriously...

Boo! hehehe

Hi guys! 

It's November! Holy crow who let that happen???

Morning Ghoules.

I got home last night about 12:00 or so. I am beat. and I looked at my calandar and I have to go meet with some muckety mucks about lead contamination at a community college. THEN I get to go to the boob doc... again.

What was I thinking when I scheduled this stuff?

TOM!!! Run

AMY... you scared me

Kim. Sending more warm thoughts your way.

Kendra... OMG!! Glad things turned out okay but dam! That must have been incredibly scary for you.

Ann- Sorry we couldn't get together in DC.

Melindy- I think it is going to be your job to keep Neal warm.

Neal- see above.

Food!

Long day and I am more behind than I was yesterday.

I am off to take a hot shower and think about dinner myself. It is going to be easy here. We haven't shopped since getting home so it will be what there is in the freezer.

Tom, great to see you back.  Good job on the run and it sure does help to have a running partner.

Robin, did you see I was about two minutes behind you at the finish line?
