Good Wednesday Morning!!!
We got good news yesterday! We have been wanting to move to a different apartment complex in Terre Haute. It's also owned by the owners of our current complex, but this one is an older place on the northside, and thus costs substantially less per month. I would have gone there after the flood, but there were no 3-bedrooms open then. Well, in between other errands yesterday, since we were both off work, we went up there to check on vacancies yet again. They just had someone in a 3-bedroom give notice for the beginning of December! Hip HIp Hooray! That means we can move in the beginning of January, and start paying less rent! WooHoo! We don't have to finish out our lease, we can just transfer it, since it's the same owners. Nice.
Went to the kids' school conferences yesterday. They both are doing well. I was pleasantly surprised. I was more worried about Mikey, but even he's having a good year.
Maybe just maybe things are starting to go well for us again. Knock on wood.
I had posted this yesterday: http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=svhq4C9HhUg
I don't think people thought it was something funny to check out. I sat there and giggled the whole time. You might get a kick out of it too.
I go to see my endocrinologist this morning. I'm kinda dreading it. I have been doing everything the way I am suppose to so I have no idea why my labs are screwed up. Well..we'll see what he says. My appt is at 8:30.
Friday, our group & the new group was going to be treated to a day at Lucas Oil Stadium. For me, since I'm on 4 ten hour days, it would had been OT at time and a half. Well...Dr. Wittle's nurse called and I have to be there at 11:30. I thought it was more important to see him at this point. He wants me to come in so we can discuss where do we go from here. I just wish someone would run a MRI or something with me standing up! All of these dang tests are with me laying down. My distension problem isn't when I'm laying down! It doesn't start until I'm upright. And shoot...if my tummy starts hurting too much because of being stretched so much, I get relief by laying down! I had suggested it to two doctors so far...I'm going to suggest it to him Friday. I've heard there is a standing MRI that can be done. It seems to me that if they want to see what is happening inside of me, they need to repeat the same conditions...starting with me standing up...and preferably late in the afternoon/early evening when the distension is at it's prime.
Well...I hope you all have a terrific day!

Morning All!
Linda, that great news. Especially since they will transfer the lease. I am so happy for you. I know spending less a month on housing will be a good thing for you.
My sinuses are killing me this morning. Must be the change of weather we are in for later this week. When we lived in the desert in California I could always tell when the Santa Ana's were going to kick in. My head acts like a barometer.
I wanted to go to the support meeting at Clarian tonight, but also have another meeting on the calendar. I don't know about anyone else, but for me it's either feast or famine. I have multiple events to choose between or nothing going on that day. This weekend is packed. My granddaughter's school event on Friday evening, women's fellowship trip on Saturday, the church's children's program and potbless on Sunday. But I guess it's better to keep busy even if life flashes by so quickly. In talking to a young woman about how fast time flies I told her that for me it didn't slow down any the older I got, if anything it goes even faster.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with blessings and joy. I pray God's healing touch on lives for health, finances, and relationships.

Today is my last day working for EMS FT. I will be back tomorrow evening doing my volunteer shift. I am going to volunteer every Thurs. evening and then 1 12 hr shift every month.
I already have everything cleaned out of my office, so at 5pm I just need to carry myself out...lol.
I am finally starting to feel better with my cold. It has kicked my butt this time.
Linda-I am so happy for you that you are able to get this apartment and for cheaper rent. That will help out bunches. Good things come to those who wait. Good to hear the kids are doing well in school.
Well, I probably wont be able to post as often since I dont know about internet usage at my new job. I know they have internet, but I hear they have a lot blocked. So we will see. I will try and get on as much as I can and check in.
I had a Drs. appt. yesturday, VOTED, plus exercise after keeping them. Then went & got my Starbucks & had them add protien- after exercise I needed it!! I can't wait till I go to the Dieticians on Friday- I need help & some answers

Linda-I am so glad for you- you deserve a break! Plus, I'm so glad Mikey is doing good in school- things are looking up!!

Sherri- Hon, I hope you get some answers!!!! I know this has been a nightmare for you, so I'm praying Dr.Whittles has!!! I thought the youtube was cute- and laughed, too!

Jenny- Good luck at your new job. I am sure that they will be blessed with you being there, & am glad you still can do the EMS.You are such a compassionate person, & I know others are blessed by you being there.

Anyone heard from Rick?

Today is Joes big day- lets keep him in our prayers everyone!

Shanna- I pm.'d you about Friday- let me know if that will work for you

Have a great day everyone- lets enjoy whats left of fall-

So glad to hear things are taking a turn for you guys. Lord knows you've had your share of time in the pit. It's time for good things to happen.
Today is starting out to be a pretty good day. I have on some new clothes that actually fit and I'm looking forward to my trip to Indy tomorrow. Troy got off so he's coming with me! I'm so glad I don't have to make the trip alone. It's such a long drive. It will give us some time to catch up on things. We've been swamped with work, church, PTO, life...it seems we put our marriage on hold sometimes. I'm really looking forward to spending some time alone with him and just talking. He really is my best friend. I love him so much.
My daughter is so funny. I guess the schools have really been covering the elections. She has been campaigning for Obama for weeks! Every morning she's been asking me, "Mom, do you know who you're going to vote for?" I kept telling her, "Not yet." Then she'd tell me all about why I should vote for Obama. She never bashed McCain. She just said he's serious all the time and we need a president that can be funny sometimes. She got up this morning and ran to turn on the TV. It was showing McCain's concession speech and when he said they all need to get behind the new president and support Obama she said, "Oh that's so sweet!" I'm afraid I have a future politician on my hands.
Well I hope everyone has a great day. I'll be in Indy tomorrow so I'll pop in and visit any new losers!
Smooches,
Jacqui
I have been having problems with my computer, it might just be time to upgrade.

My Mom was released from the hospital on Monday, thanks everyone for all the prayers.
Thanks Sherri, for making me laugh this morning, the video was "to cute", and I tried to pass to the kids like you suggested.

Hugs & Blessings, Gail
