I am still here

Weekly update !

Sorry I have not been posting...I am working some long days due to the recent merger and my energy level is dragging !

 I have been battling some fatigue and bone pain – but for the most part still on the upswing.

If course I am back to working 10 hour days…by Friday I am ready to shut it off and watch TV.

I am sleeping pretty good at nights – for the most part I am in bed and sleeping from 8pm -6am

My two cats wake me up for their breakfast or else I could probably sleep a few more hours.

It does feel good to be able to sleep again.

 Allen is still is back in Iraq for a few weeks....counting the days till he comes home.  For now
and it is just Gracie and I. We did go on a shopping trip and out to dinner last week.

I bought a beautiful dress and shoes for her graduation. Wow – seems like just yesterday I was taking her to Petite école sur la colline ! (her French preschool)    Can I just say she has been a tremendous help to me and we are both counting the days she has left at Saint Thomas Moore.  Whoo hoo college bond.     Can I  brag that she made a 4.0 on her last report card. I don’t know where she gets it from…but I am glad she has done so well in high school.

 Next month is a flurry of doctor appointments.

Surgeon – check up/medi port

Plastic Surgeon – consult

Oncologist – monthly check up /blood work

Internist – yearly check up

I had a dentist apt and a dermatologist appointment but I moved them to the next month.

I can only take so much.

 I have to squeeze in a business trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast sometime in April.

I always love going to the coast. It reminds me of going to visit my parents when they lived in Ocean Springs.

My job is in the processing of changing…in a few months I will lose the recruiting part of my job and I will   do employee relations only. Currently I do a mixture of both.    Not sure how I feel about that or how it will all work out but so far this new company has been   really good to me. I  Not sure how big my territory will be. Nothing like going there a merger.  But so far so good !  I am still here .

I have kinda learned with this whole cancer diagnosis – that whatever will be will be – kay sa ra sa ra

Cancer taught me - You take what life gives you – accept it, do the best you can and move on.

Dont spend to much of your precious time letting things get you down.

I see people stressing over small things every day…I used to be one of them. Now I tend to shrug off more and smile more.

I do have a low tolerance for complainers and I notice it more than I used to.

 A got a wonderful letter from my former sister in law the other day. Can I just tell you – it was so kind, so sweet – that it made my week.

Take the time this week to write someone you know a letter or card and let them know how much they mean to you.

A healing boost a tell ya !

Happy Friday - I am still here !
