Personal Side
I had planned to share about my "day job"
(actually just Saturday job)
earlier this week when I was planning this CCChatter.
Funny thing is.....that my "Saturday job" unexpectedly took over
part of my weekdays this week and I've been paddling upstream ever since.
I had to go into work twice this week for various
activities and training and it dipped into my "cookie time". ;)
And now, I'm sitting here in at the computer finding it humorous that
I'd planned to tell you a little about my Saturday job before I
knew what this week would look like.

So my life looks very different on Saturdays compared to the
rest of the week when I'm just Mom or CookieCrazie. :)
I am a Laboratory Medical Technologist......
or the new name for my profession is
Clinical Laboratory Scientist.
I like the new name the best.
It just sounds so much more intelligent and important. ;)

I perform testing of blood, urine, body fluids, etc
in the hospital laboratory setting
 to help clinicians diagnose and treat their patients.
It is a pretty exciting job (re: stressful!).
There's no end to the things needing to be done
and when it gets CRAZIE......it is REALLY crazie!

Last weekend I worked on the Blood Bank side
so I took some pics to give you a little glimpse into my "other life".


The Blood Bank provides blood products
including Red Blood Cells, Platelets, and Fresh Frozen Plasma.
In most ways......you don't want to be needing such products.
If you do, you're pretty sick.

And that's my Saturdays in a very small nut shell.

I still have Ukraine work hanging over my head.
I couldn't touch it this week.
This next week I have plans to set aside at least
two whole days to work on it.
Since we leave in about a month.......
I need to get cracking and have things ready SOON.

A couple of crisis in the household this week......
but I think we're surviving.
It's funny.....now that my kids are grown,
most of the time it is fairly calm and easy going here.
But when the issues arise,
they are usually much bigger issues than
when my kids were small.
I guess it is just all part of parenting.

Most days I'm thrilled to be a mom. :)

so it's going to hang around for a while. :)
