Well here is the latest in my life. I went to Dr. Korn, the surgeon, yesterday. He told that I had lost 72 percent of my total excess body weight in a year which is better than average. I wish I could feel really proud of myself, but I don't. All I think is I took the easy way out. The nurse who works with Dr. Korn asked my yesterday if I would come to the support group and share my expirience. I told her that a lot of it wasn't really that good, in fact most of it was pretty rotten. She said that is why she's wants me to do it, so people will know that it isn't always a cake walk. I have thought about it a little. Gee, what do I tell these folks who are trying to improve their lives. That in the year 2007 I almost died twice, went through several humiliating procedures to prove I was really overweight enough to qualify for the surgery, when all a person had to do was look at me. The worst was going to the mental health doctor, to make sure I wasn't a nut case and wouldn't turn into one. I am a nut case I just have hidden it well most of my life. Must have fooled him too, he signed off on the paper saying I was mentally fit. And for the rest of your entire life you will take more a plethora of pills everyday, both pharmacueitcal and vitiams, minerals and such. By days end I take at least 30 pills a day. Well that's enough of being maudlin for today. In ten days I will be going home. YIPPEE. We are going to have fun, fun, fun. I am thinking maybe we should even try going to Jackson Hole for a picnic. What do you all think. Ok, so there is a story behind that statement, a fond and funny memory. I still think I and Valerie should find a piano and sing The Sweetheart Tree for everybody, it would be a real treat. We can go to the Trackside Mall and maybe I will find a beautiful swan to add to my collection. I am still thinking of places to go. I leave Boise at 8:56 pm Monday the 28th of April and get in Idaho Falls at 9:56 pm.

It has been a weird couple of weeks at work. Back on April 1st it was discovered that 1 strap of $100.00 bills was missing from one of the vault. Translation, $10,000.00. After a week and a half the culprit was uncovered. It was one of the newest Loomis employees. This is how they tried to do it (they always get caught sooner or later), security cameras everywhere. There were two people working in the room, they finished running all the money for that particular bank and one of them went to the vault to get the board to record the combined total for the day. While they were gone the person took one strap of $100 out of a bundle of $100s, that is 10 straps of $100s and put the bundle on the cabinet. That part wasn't on the tape very clearly. But, what they did next is sit down with their back to the camera and put the strap in their shoe, then turned toward the camera and started shooting rubberbands. Also, on the way to the vault apparently the strap started to come out of the shoe so they shook their leg a couple of times. Well of course, Loomis security came and watched all the tapes from the March 31 and April 1, questioned the other person that was working in there, actually grilled is a more apt term. Then they had him watch the tapes. The more they watched the tapes, it became quite clear who had done it and how they did it. On Monday the 4th they were waiting for that person and ask them to step into the office, before they went to the money room. After questioning them and showing them the tapes, they admitted it. They had spent about $2400 of the $10,000, and returned the unspent portion to Loomis. Needless to say they were taken away in handcuffs, and are visiting what is fondly known in Boise as the Graybar Hotel, which is probably a good thing. The $2400 has to be recognized as a loss, making it so everyone in the Boise site loses the month incentives and the quartly incentive and a chance at a drawing for a HD tv, most everyone would like to give them a V-8 boop. But, today when we were counting vaults, we were missing 1 $100 strap from the same bank. Of course, the first think out of everyone mouths was "everybody take your shoes off". Thankfully it was someone's addition error. Being the comedians that they are they ask me to empty my bra since there was plenty of room lately from a strap of money. I told them it would probably fall right through.

Going home in 18 days. Yippee!!!!!!!!!! What fun we will have. To bad Mom doesn't have the piano, because, I and Valerie could do our rendition of The Sweetheart Tree. It is quite lovely if I do say myself. LOL. Actually think of fingernails on a chalkboard and times it by 10, you get the idea.
