26 Pounds!!

T W E N T Y  S I X!!!  I am down 26 pounds!!!  Woo Hoo!  Today is the one month mark and I have lost 26 Pounds!!  Today was a long day but now I feel better.

Picked up Tay for work at 8:30 this morning, worked my 8 hours.  Sat with my Mom in the surgery waiting room for my lunch.  Waiting for Daddy to come out.  He had his Port and feeding tube put in today.  Both went well. Tomorrow its back to Petoskey for radiation.  He has 5 weeks of radiation and chemo oncde a week for 5 weeks. Then we should be good!
After work I took T and his girl, Kelsey, to the fair.  Then home about 10:30.  I have to pick Tay up at 6 am for work.  Started to fell asleep and my stupid legs started kicking.  The spacitisity seems to be breaking thru the pain meds again.  Damn damn!

I enjoyed sitting at the fair with Linda Crimin and her family.  They are all great people.  It was nice to get out and do something for change.  I miss going out and doing things with other adults.  I used to go out, go tubing, bowling, but I haven't done much of anything anymore.  It will be nice to get my life back.

It's hard to keep this up when your running around so much!  Sorry guys it's been a hectic week already.  I drive Tay to work so have to get ready earlier in the morning.  Just seems to be a lot going on.

Today I woke up with a headache.  These cats are driving me crazy.  I have to get rid of 3 more.  I really can't take it much longer.  I didn't want to take them to shelter but I can't find them homes so that is going to be my last resort.

Tonite after work I'm taking T and his girl Kelsey to the fair.  So another long day ahead.  I will post more tonite. Have a great day everyone!

I know I promised not to miss anymore days, but in my defense, I was sleeping!  If I don't take my stay awake pill, after a long week of working, then basically I don't stay awake!  So I had a two day nap.  Ok it's more like a coma.

I only have a minute then I have to get ready.  Today I drive my dad to his first radiation appointment.  This means I also have to keep my mom settled enough to get across the bridge!!  She is VERY scared of the bridge.

Well I hate to cut this short but I have to get ready and get out of here. Wish us luck!

Wow! I just realized that I haven't updated this since Tuesday!  Sorry guys!  It has been a very busy week!  I didnt get home until late on Wed, then we had football last night.  T played in Petoskey. Sadly they lost but they played hard.  We play again next Thur but I won't get to watch that one.  I can't afford to go. Gas is crazy expensive!  They will be in Alpena and that is a long drive.

I woke up this morning to about 15 hornets in my kitchen!!  I was running around killing them with a rolled up magazine and Bailey as right behind me eating them!  Then there was about 30 flies in the dining room window!  What the hell is going on???  I sprayed them withbug spray and then cleaned up the carnage.  I found a small gap in the dining room window so I closed it the rest of the way and locked it. Hopefully that will take care it!

I had an appointment with the dietitician yesterday.  I am doing well.  I have to double  the amount of water I am drinking and the protein.  I am down to 278. That's 21 pounds down!  118 to go. My goal is 160.

I am waiting to pick T up from the football tame and then pick Tay up from work at 1130.  Then I can finally put my pj's on!  I can't wait!  I am pretty damn tired.

Monday I am driving my parents to Petoskey in the morning.  My dad starts his radiation on Monday.  He was recently diagnosed with esophagus cancer.  We have 5 weeks of radiation (Mon - Fri) and chemo on Mondays.  It hasn't spread anywhere and this should kill it!  We will get through this just like we get through everything else, with family, faith and a sense of humor!

Well now I think I need to find something to eat.  I will write more this weekend, I promise!

Another great day at work!  I am so glad that I went back to work!  So I heard that I have been pretty depressin lately.  Geez I am so surprised!  Me? Negative? The hell you say!!

I wanted to make sure that I remind everyone thatwhen you read my blog and see some typos, that I do know that I have some but sometimes it's very hard to get back to them to fix them on this tablet.  So please bare with me.  Believe me, it kills me to know they are there!!

I can't believe summer is almost over!  Man that flew by!  I never even made it to the beach even once!  Ok, I couldn't even type that with a straight face!!  Ha ha ha me at the beach!  Well guess what people?!  This time next year I will be so skinny, that my SKINNY ass will have been at the beach numerous times!  That's right, I said it, SKINNY ass!!  Now normally, I would have been saying blah blah blah FAT ass, but not anymore!

Now I also need to remind everyone that just because I will be skinny soon, doesn't mean that I will not be able to say fat jokes.  I have been heavy for most of my life, so I am grandfathered in on the fat jokes!  :)

I am hoping to make it up to the ball fields this weekend.  The KDR Challenge is going on up there this weekend.  My friend/coworker Jenn Ware is one of the creators of the challenge.  It's very inspiring when people do things like that.  Good luck to all of the teams that have signed up for it!  What a great cause and a great way to raise money for it.

We were able to give away two of our kittens.  One more to go!  Then we also have a one year old female gray tabby.  Slow but sure we are finding them homes.  So if you are looking for a lovable, friend to add to your family, let me know!

Time to go back to sleep.  Thanks for reading.  Take care and have a great day!

Awake already

After a long first day of work, spending 2 1/2 hours in the ER with T, I finally fell asleep around 1:30.  I can't belie ve I am up already!  I forgot to take my evening pain med so I woke up in pain.  It is so awful to wake up in so much pain.  I hate that I was so tired that I didn't remember.  You have no idea how much spasiticity hurts.  It's worse then childbirth.  All I can do is sit here and cry while I wait for the pill to kick in.  I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

I try so hard to be quiet so I don't wake T up.  He hates to hear me crying and knowing that he can't do anything to make it go away.  This is one of the few times when I really miss not having someone in my life that I can seek comfort from.

It is finally calming down so I am going to try to sleep a few hours before work.  Thanks for "listening".
Good nite.

First day back to work....

Well my first day at work went well!  I felt good all day!  Then I picked T up from football practice, picked him up some dinner and brought him home.  Then off to my parents to talk about daddy's doctor appointment.  Then off to Walmart for more groceries, stuff for the parents, then back to bring them their stuff.  I am so happy to be home!  I just got here a half an hour ago!  I have tp ick Tay up at 12:30 from work.  Man do we need to get her car fixed!

It surprising how content you can feel just sitting in your favorite chair, playing on your tablet, kitty cat in your lap.  My Jonesy is cuddling and purring.  He is my favorite!

T has his first game this Thursday in Petoskey at 6.  Can't wait to cheer on the Devils JV Team!!

This time stupid charter's digital is out.  The internet and phone are working but not the cable.  Go figure!  At least I can still watch what's on the DVR.

Well it's time to 'chill' before I have to go get Tay. Have a great day tomorrow!
