Update
Just thought I'd send out a general update on life since its been a little while:
My girls did a super fantastic job at our meet the other week and I now have 3 routines qualified for Junior Nationals in SoCal next week instead of just the one. So I'll be taking 3 of my fav. girls out to Irvine, CA next Wed. to compete their trio, duet, and solo and to compete in Junior National Team Trials. Its being held in my old practice pool from when I lived out there 13 years ago! (Gosh, I am freakin' old!). But anyhoo, I'm pretty excited. :)
Work is stressful. I've spent the whole morning trying to get 3 people scheduled for study visits and I want to cry when I look at my calendar. Its now at least a month waiting list to come in and see me which is frustrating. Apr. and May are already incredibly full!!!
My family is going through another rough time with my Aunt being diagnosed with breast cancer recently. Everyone's trying to keep a positive outlook but it seems we keep learning something worse about her case each week. Oh, and insurance is a bitch! I just can't believe how hard it is to get someone started on chemo. and get all their test results in an appropriate amount of time etc!!! Actually, I can believe it, having seen what a lot of my pts have to go through...but its really annoying/frustrating/exasperating, etc!
On a happy note, Frank and I decided to get back together a couple weeks ago. We know its not going to last in the long run (him still planning to move to Africa or Mexico or wherever) but its actually been pretty hard for both of us with him still in the area and planning to be that way for at least another year as he finishes up his BS/Masters in nursing. So for right now we're happy just being together no matter how long it lasts.
Ok, I think that's about everything. Whew, it really has been a while hasn't it?
