Still home!

Dec 15, 2009

 Well, so much for the interview last month. It is now one month later, Christmas is coming, and we are a little closer to no longer paying the mortgage. There are just no jobs out there. Even Target said they had nothing for me! It'll be a very slim holiday, but fortunately our kids are all grown, and they understand what's going on. And hey, at least I'm going to school!. I am enrolled full time for next semester, working around the possibility of finding work. I am taking a pilates/aerobics class as one of my units. It's being taught by a lady I used to work out with when she ran Slender Lady 10 years ago. If she even remembers me, she will not recognize me. Anyway, I am looking forward to that, to help kick my butt in gear! I can't say I am looking forward to the other 11 units though . . .  scarey! 
My son surprised me by driving down with his family for Thanksgiving. Got to see my grandson for the third time. He's almost 2 1/2, and very much in the terrible twos stage, and WELL SPOILED by his parents. His heart condition, though considered cleared, is having long-term ill-effects. Hopefully, that changes soon. ; )
I am doing ok, healthwise. Still at 130#, Dr's goal. Suffering a kidney infection right now, along with return of menses after 6 months of seasonal birth control for the low-iron anemia. I see the hematologist this week; will see if I am maintaining my iron, or dropping again since the infusion. Do I still need the colonoscopy? Hopefully not. Maybe being off the control for a few months will show the loss was there the whole time, and he'll put me back on them. I kind of enjoyed having no cycle but every 3 months. TMI here, but ever since I stopped the iron tabs and the initial iron infusion left my immediate system, my bowels have been more like an aerated waterfall! Not sure what's going on with that. Haven't been back to the surgeon's office since being referred to the hematologist. Lost my insurance right after the infusion, so I had to put everything off. Just got coverage again, but I'm too busy this month to make it in. Soon as I can get in, I'll ask about the weird plumbing activity. 
And, DAMN, do I need a job to help pay for some boobs!!! I am TIRED of my tube socks! I also really just noticed my saggy ass. How ugly is THAT!
Well, laptop typing is very uncomfortable on my abdomen right now, so this is it for this post. Fingers crossed for better news next time.
