24 weeks.
I really have no news. We're still in the process of looking for/at houses......we have the name of an agent through realtyusa.com...but we haven't called her yet. Don't ask me what the hold up is--I have no idea. How wonderful would it be to have a place of our OWN...FINALLY...no renting, no one else in the house...ours. To do with what we want. I'm impatient.
Work is work. I'm tired of the same routine every day....two different people asked me the other day if I was the DSPII (which is a team leader in training basically)...funny thing is, I've been the team leader for over a year now. SO. Whatever. All the hard work I do, everything I've put into that place and I guess what it boils down to is sometimes...everyone needs a little recognition. I need a pat on the back sometimes......because just ME knowing that I'm making a difference and knowing how I killed myself to get where I'm at...sometimes that's not enough. I want other people to know--I want my BOSS to know. (alright-I'm done being a brat now)
My parents have been okay. My mom's health is starting to go downhill a bit....she had to start physical therapy (again) and she's been in some pain......dad has been dad. He's still not 100%....but he has his good days. As of lately they've been arguing a whole hell of a lot which has put a lot of strain on everyone else. As of right now they're not speaking. Sometimes I still feel like I'm the adult and they're the children. :P
Ed and Alysha are still kicking away, building their house and loving up my nephew who keeps getting bigger and biiiiigger......love him!
Carys' dad hasn't been doing well....he became quite ill a little while ago and everything has gone downhill...I know that Wednesday he had surgery--and didn't do very well...still is in the hospital. I've tried to get ahold of her but we keep playing phone tag and it's not really appropriate for me to just show up at her place or the hospital or her mom's......I want to be there to help out, but all I can do is just wait for her to find me I guess.
My vacation sucked. I got to go down to Pittsburgh to see Meghan which was WONDERFUL.....best 4th of July I've had in ages......naturally, I wanted to stay longer....but when we got home I ended up with some really serious bronchitis....which landed me in bed for my 2nd week of vacay....which meant no camping and no casino. I had to do breathing treatments, take prednisone and use an inhaler......tomorrow is my last day of the pred......i finish the advair in another month and a half. I feel about 70% better....which is good.
I quit smoking. Finally. It's been a week and a half--and it's hard. I'm going cold turkey--no cutting back--no patch. I needed to do this a long time ago and it took having to blow into a machine and wheezing unbelievably to finally knock some sense into me....if I kept that up, I would end up dead.
Other than that.....my life has been the same. I'm signing up to help out with the Special Olympics...not sure if they'll need me in the winter or if I'll have to wait until the spring...but I'm excited.
I hope everyone is well. Myspace is usually where you can find me......if not, I miss you.
