Still at work -- and it is almost 7:00 p.m. I was here yesterday, on Sunday, for 5 hours too!! Of course, I would rather be home, but this overtime will pay for my New York trip, so I am not going to complain. Other than my eyes feeling like they are going to pop and my stomach growling and my brain frying and my ovary killing me, I am fine! ( Read more... )

Well, after reading my last entry, I have a few things to update! I no longer have my cold -- in fact I am taking these Shaklee Vitamins and drinking 32 ounces of green tea a day and I feel like a new human being!!! I am full of energy, happy, excited -- it is AMAZING. I am also back on weight watchers and have lost another 5 pounds -- I am now ( Read more... )

It is Monday morning and I am having the darndest time waking up today! I have had this silly cold for about a week now and I can't shake it. I am now taking Zithromax and hopefully that will help. I don't have much to do yet, so I am just sitting here at my desk, trying not to fall asleep (it is so hot in here), reading my e-mails, checking in ( Read more... )

Well, it has been two months since I left North Carolina. I do believe I couldn't have made a better decision. Everything just fell right into place. Ivan, Stella and I have a beautiful apartment right in the Grove. We can walk to the shops and movies or the dog park. Stella and I sometimes walk to my mom's house in the evening. I started a ( Read more... )

Ivan will be here in 11 days to pick me and Stella up. I gave a three-week notice at work. October 25th will be my last day at work, and I will pick Ivan up at the Greenville/Spartanburg airport that night. Saturday we begin the drive to Miami. We went to my Georgia house last weekend, and I decided not to leave anything there. The house has ( Read more... )

Well, after careful consideration, thousands of conversations, and creating a budget, I have decided to go back to Miami for one year. Ivan and I have decided to be an "item" again and I am very happy about that. He will find an apartment that suits me and Stella Blue (back yard for Stella) and then come up to get us. I am leaving all of my ( Read more... )

Finally, Ivan arrived last Thursday. I drove down to Greenville/Spartanburg airport to pick him up at 11:15 p.m. I watched through the window as the passengers walked down the stairs of the plane. One of the last to exit the plane was Ivan. I moved away from the window and stood by the doorway, patiently, and nervously, waiting for him to enter ( Read more... )

Ivan will be here in three days. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself!!!!! We have been talking everyday at least once a day. I really feel like we could make this work. It will take time and change on both of our parts, but I feel very positive about it...and I am willing to try. I just can't believe I will see my Ivan in three days. ( Read more... )

I have been talking to Ivan again lately. It feels good. I have missed having him in my life. He seems to have recently had a wake-up call. I don't know if it was me leaving him or the accident, or Anthony's death. But whatever it was I am grateful, because he has begun to pick himself up out of the depressed, pessimistic shit, and started to ( Read more... )

This is my list of priorities for the rest of this year ( Read more... )
