16 secrets restaurant industry doesn’t want you to know

Was looking up food poisoning (I think I got some Thursday at a restaurant I ate at) and found this interesting article…

My Granddaughter may have Cystic Fibrosis and mindless ramblings

My daughter started taking my granddaughter (who is 4) to a new doctor when she moved.  The previous doctor had been treating her for asthma. This new doctor says she has no signs of asthma but wants to test her for CF.  The first sweat test comes back borderline so they have another test schedule.  After looking this up online it would explain her always being congested, sinus infections and her insatiable appetite.  This little girl eats and eats and is not growing very fast.  I’m hoping she comes up borderline again since the doctor told my daughter to cut out dairy for a month to see what happens and that seems to have helped her being congested and sleeping at night.  This is not something she needs as her son (who is 5) has Asperger’s Syndrome (high functiong autisim) and is considered a special needs child.  They both are however, very intelligent and energetic. 

On a lighter note, the weather here S****!  Come out of the gym at 6:00 pm yesterday and it’s freezing rain and everything is icey and slushy.  It takes a 45 mintues to get to the restaurant when it usually takes us 20 or less.  Come out the restaurant to go to the bowling alley and it’s raining.  An hour later it’s snowing.  Leave the bowling alley around 11 pm and it’s doing I don’t know what.  It’s an hour drive home and half way there we get into snow again.  Get into town about 5 miles from home and it hasn’t done anything there all night and it’s 34 degrees.  Get up this morning and there’s snow.  Our hour drive to work was almost an hour and a half.  I HATE WINTER!!

They got a new elliptical at the gym and it has more of a natural stride and I did 3 miles in 30 minutes yesterday.  I can’t even do that on a treadmill or the other ellipticals.  So now I can do a different type of cardio every day for 5 days with the treadmill, arc trainer, 3 different styles of ellpticals and spinning.  I ordered a mini-stepper so I can do something when I find time to watch TV cuz I hate just sitting there.  I can’t sit still, except for The Biggest Loser, Desperate Housewives, and Drag Racing.  My fiance has to ask if I can sit and watch something with him if he wants to get cuddly. 

Okay the boss finally brought something out for me to do.  Have a great day everyone.
