WHEEEEEEE! We have internet again, got the sprint broadband USB. COOL
I start school August 24th going for my Associates in Science. I will be a Pharmacy Tech could bring us back to the cities, they need them there. I am not going for the PT certificate because I don't want to be stuck at Walgreens or Walmarts pharmacy. I am headed for a lab or hospital. Better pay and I can use the AS as a stepping stone for other things as well.
Wookie is working hard at a chump job for chump pay. Administrative jobs down here are plentiful and I can certainly do the work, but if you don't speak spanish... forget it.
Mudpuppy is doing well and will start 1st grade this fall. He had a run in with a rooster today that freaked him out. I got tagged by the bird 4 times before I could run him off. Thankfully Mead was there to tend to Mudpuppy while I went toe to beak with the rooster! So glad I was wearing jeans. Just bruised by the bastard! Mudpuppy says we need to eat him now. The nasty tom turkey out here we had named "Stew", he now resides in the freezer. We have turkey chicks out here so Thanksgiving and Yule are taken care of.
Dad is doing really well, he got the clean bill of health from the Doc. Had a scare this spring with him. Ended up being severely anemic, it was NOT his Leukemia. Too many operations last fall. 2 new knees and 3 for his cataracts. It was to much for his body.
Had another scare a week ago with my nephew. His left wrist had been bugging him and was swollen for many months. He likes to punch walls when angry. A melanoma had developed and he had degeneration at then end of his wrist bone and forearm. He had surgery last week and is recovering. The tumor was benign.
My bestest GF back in the cities will have a hysterectomy at the end of the month... tumors. Another scary, but she has a fab attitude which is making me feel better.
Panther (rob).... Damn... did not recognize him last week. I had not seen him since March. He lost 130 lbs and looks wonderful! I always thought he was handsome.... now he is becoming a hottie!
Very busy spinning wheels a lot. Tending chickens and turkeys, helping with the horses and gardens. Seems like there is not enough time to keep house. I am on the run every morning till noon 5 days a week.
I have had PT 2 times a week for 8 weeks now. It is NOT helping my vertigo or neck. In fact it is making my arm worse. Doc today said I could quit for now (traction at 22 lbs for 15 mn twice a week). She will do an MRI next week and we will go from there. I told her surgery is an option. I can not continue to live with vertigo and the arm and neck pain. To risky driving and I do not need it to interfere with my schooling. She is also going to give me a Doc's note for my dog "Charlie" as a therapy dog for anxiety/panic "issues". This helps being a renter. I can't bear not having him around and the idea or putting him back in a pound.
We did gain a kitten recently. He is very naughty. He and Charlie play constantly. We named him "Spam". So ahh now when we get pounced....which is often...we get "spammed".
Mimi is doing well she dumped the BF and moved out. Poor girl gained nearly 70lbs the last year.. she was so unhappy. She has lost 30lbs already in just 6 weeks of unloading the verbally abusive BF.
My oldest, Josh, is working two jobs right now. He was unable to go back to school this fall due to funding and unemployment.
Life goes on, so shall we all....
