Catch Up Time
Well........there is no time like the present to jump right back into this, so here goes:
Dear Diary:
Where the hell does the time go? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was looking forward to spending the whole summer working on my tan and trying to suck my body into that polka dot bikini.
It is hard to believe that Labor Day weekend is within reach of my fingertips. If I was to have any doubt about that, a quick look outside to the overcast sky and the feel of the cooler temps on my bare legs leave no room for error........the end of summer is fast approaching!
I had a very fruitful summer, so I have nothing to whine about. On my short list of accomplishments, you will find:
* 5 camping trips
* cleaned out basement
* painted house trim (okay...I lied....haha)
* signed up for school
* into my 4th week of school
* had lunch with friends I had not seen for a while
* saw a few movies
* had fun with my camera
* sent off photos to friends of their children
There are a few other entries I could make, but they all seem trivial at the moment. Just knowing I accomplished a number of things from my "to-do" list is accomplishment enough for me.
School is okay. It seemed to be such a daunting task to learn how to sit down and find "me" time in order to study, but so far so good. (I am in a Medical Assistant program....A- grade so far!!)
Once I start sticking and pricking people to draw blood, we shall see if my shaking hands give away my nervousness..YIKES!
My husband's cousin was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, having a 3-4 month life expectancy. He is undergoing rounds of chemo to hopefully extend his life a bit. If anyone gets anything out of reading my journal, please get this....TELL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS YOU LOVE THEM!!! I hate having to have such a potential tragedy remind me just how fragile life is, but it is a blessing in disguise for those who have pushed people aside. It is never to late to reach out and say 'I love you" to someone.
My husband's father had gall bladder surgery last week. He went today to have the stitches removed. The good news is that the surgery went well. The bad news is that he was told he has cancer "bordering" the liver. God knows what that even means!! I hate it when his parents go to the doctors without one of us around to translate what is said to them. We will find out more on Friday.
My tan is fading.......my eyes hurt from reading so much......my butt cheeks hurt because I walked 7 miles yesterday......(talk about out of shape!)......my hair needs a color work-up again........
All in all......things are good! :) Please say a prayer!
