So I promised something happier, right ( Read more... )

So, my grandpa passed on Monday, June 5. It was absolutely awful. We went to the hospice house, where he made just one day of the two weeks they promised us. A few of us went down that morning to say good-bye and it was kind of strange. The hospice people didn't even close his mouth. I've been on a roller coaster of sad to okay over the past ( Read more... )

My computer almost died. Soooo I went to Best Buy and got approved for financing a new one. I then, naturally, bought the most expensive system package in the store and proceeded to upgrade it. I love having good credit. Actually, this was my first real test of credit. I passed. Yay me. Now I have an $1850 computer system (and the 6 yr old ( Read more... )

My grandpa is still in the hospital. He went in on April 26th, which is easily remembered because it was my dad's birthday. The poor man has had 2 surgeries since going in. He also caught some sort of infection, which wasn't MERSA, that they are now trying to fix. I hate hospitals. I hate the way they keep you there forever ( Read more... )

So it's only been like a month since my last update, not too shabby, I'd say ( Read more... )

Sadly, I had to come home from my cruise yesterday. Even worse, today it is back to work. YUCK. The cruise was fabulous, I felt like a Princess. Anthony and I bought a picture from Captain's Night (formal night - you dress kind of like prom), which happened to be Friday. We look lovely. That particular night was our anniversary, and the ( Read more... )

Only 2 working days left until I get to cruise on down to some islands. I am so in need of this vacation. I'm ready to relax. Of course the week after I get back it's going to be crazy and I'm going to need more vacation already (between Easter, health shows and the new term starting - 4 nights a week, bleh). I'm tired just thinking about all ( Read more... )

I'm going to school 4 nights next week in order to complete basic clinicals and pharmocology for MAs. It's about damned time, I've only had the pre-reqs done for 2 semesters now ( Read more... )

Today is my half-way point in my detox program. I'm still going strong. I broke the other day and ate a piece of turkey bacon, but I'm allowed meat, so really all I did was eat a bit extra meat. So it's not too bad ( Read more... )

So today is Day 6, and I feel really great. I have tons of energy. Every night we've been going for a 30 minute walk, and that is rather nice. And really, I don't miss not smoking and most of the food I normally eat. I do miss my morning coffee, pizza, and my mom brought me back half-moons from New York on Tuesday. They are nicely baggied in ( Read more... )
