One heck of a month

October 31, 2008 – 6:03 pm

October has been crazy.  While I was getting settled in at my new job, mother nature threw me for a loop again.  Yet another cold landed me back in the hospital.  I sat for two weeks with gurgly lungs taking oral Levaquin and nebulized Tobi with no relief.  Finally the nurses at work convinced me [...]

Checking in

September 10, 2008 – 4:41 pm

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted.  Here I thought I would have all the time in the world while I was unemployed to work on my blog, but I was soooo wrong!  This coming Monday I will be starting my new job, working with pulmonary research data at a children’s [...]

job and A1c

August 20, 2008 – 12:11 pm

Update: Family would like to keep their privacy about my nephew, thanks to my psychotic ex-step-mother (she has been disowned by the family and don’t want her knocking on the door again). Now, about me… Change.  That’s the word of the week.   I have been offered an awesome job where I will be working [...]

August 2, 2008 – 11:50 pm

I have been counting my chickens before the eggs hatch. I really hope to bring you some good news, no, not good, extremely awesome news very soon, but I don’t want to jinx it. So I will keep it hush hush for now. I have been really busy in hopes that I may need to [...]

Lesson learned #123428732784329843

July 28, 2008 – 11:10 pm

If the washing machine is a knockin’, make sure the laundry soap is not on top of it. Horrible lesson I learned late this evening is that laundry soap bottles can easily fall off of the top of the washing machine when it is running, especially when you aren’t home! This evening I had the [...]

Making life more meaningful

July 25, 2008 – 8:42 am

Since I was laid off, I have had time to slow down, relax, and reflect on my life some.  I have been able to realize I want a career when I can really help people.  I am considering the healthcare/medical field.  When I first started college I wanted to become a Social Worker or work [...]

Yesterday I had an awesome doctor’s visit.  My lungs are in decent shape (any time there is no decline it is awesome news!), my blood sugars look great (I owe it to my new insulin pump), I found out my insurance paid their part of my continuous glucose monitor……  wait… what???? Yep! I noticed online [...]

It is amazing how many details there are in a website design! It is taking me a lot longer to get this page up and running, or maybe it is the control freak side of me that is going crazy with the details of it. Either way, tinkering with this page has been a lot [...]
