Doctor referral. Going to get this baby ball rolling! Talking with sister about what we should start stockpiling/buying early and how we should look around Craigslist and such for baby furniture so we don't go broke having to buy every.single.thing brand new.

Time to get ready for work!

Went on a great pumpkin hunt and came home with some nice ones. It was suggested I do something fun while on vacation. Great idea!

When was the last time I did this?

2 things

1.
I woke up feeling so good and refreshed ... amazing what proper amount of sleep can do for one's body!

2.
I found my missing new denim sock. This morning I went outside to admire my handiwork on a fence panel. Still dark, I wore my headlamp light. There it was on the ground. Thankfully no chew holes. I see Kelly has gone back to old habits. This dog has not stolen any of my stuff in such a long time, thought that was a phase gone past. Unfortunately not! Sock thief! She did not see me put it in my pajama bottoms pocket and was out there looking for it in front of me. Shameless, I'll tell you! I should be thankful ... at least this time it was not my boxers scattered all over the backyard. And you know what loud plaid colors Hanes puts in their little 3-package deals.

Progress. That's one of many things that has kept me smiling the last several days. Long conversations, realizations, destinations, trials & tribulations.
Life is good. ;-)

The nurse who casted my broken foot taking 5 minutes to explain to me why the foot hurt MORE with the cast then before the cast without patronizing me. I really appreciated not being belittled because I felt like a dork whining.

Hollylane · 10-29-2013, 09:54 PM

Last week, I worked OT in a different department, on the second shift. I did this because that team had their team day that day, and needed someone to fill in.

I worked 5 hours of the 10.5 hour shift, with a young gal, that I only know in passing. We had a grand time passing the hours away chatting about our love lives, families, hobbies, etc. I can't even remember all of the things we talked about. Apparently, but not that I recall, we had talked about my interest in jewelry making.

Yesterday, I got a call from her mother, who works in another department. She said that her daughter had asked her to call me (because we work opposite shifts), and find out if I would like her jewelry making supplies, because she just wasn't using them. Of course, I said "YES, I would love to have them." I asked if I could compensate her for them, but she said her daughter had told her that she didn't want anything other than her favorite flavor of Monster Energy Drink.

Today, her mother met me in the parking lot with her daughter's supplies.

HOLY COW!!!

She gave me two huge boxes filled with boxes of beads, pearls, crystals, stones, charms, findings (ear wires, clasps, bead caps etc) in copper/silver/pewter, copper/silver/stainless steel spools of wire, memory wire, elastic for bracelets/rings, tools in different sizes for making jump rings, a jewelry design tray, and gift boxes for finished jewelry. There were also two bead working travel cases with 4 bead boxes in each, the book Jewelry Making for Dummies, and a huge stack of jewelry making catalogs and magazines.

I was grinning from ear to ear, I still am, and I am so thankful that she thought of me. That was absolutely sweet of her. I will not be able to keep myself from reciprocating, with at least a case of Monster Energy Drinks, and a Thank You card. WOWZA!!

Reading this... Post Decision Activity

On October 29, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E).

We were told it would take 5 months and so we were not expecting an answer until christmas and then this came through today. It made me smile big time. Thank you USCIS for making our dreams a reality...

PoeticSilence · 10-30-2013, 12:31 AM

When my daughter was ...hm... sixteen, she got her tongue pierced illegally and without my permission (which I would never have given). So I'm driving to my mothers and the kids are in the backseat chattering and I see a flash of metal in her mouth. I slammed on the brakes and pulled over the car and leaped out and whipped the back door open (after all, this is a holiday meal at MY MOTHER's house) and I'm realizing something has happened behind my back. She won't open her mouth so I "help" her, and there it was, a tongue ring. Her defense was poor, and my son tried to intervene, but I threw down the MOM card and all of the world heard me shouting that "I" had made that body and that it had taken me nine months and because she likes to be late, I had to wait on her an extra freaking thirty days. So that made the tongue MINE and the least she could have done was ask permission. (I'm sure you can imagine this.) After all of the guilt and anger dissipated we continued on to have a holiday meal with the family and the conversation was finished hours later along with a sentencing of grounding when we were back home.

Today I was looking at a photo my daughter took of her ear, and was reminded of my ridiculous outburst and responded to her photo with a fairly brief note about how I'd made that ear, and how beautiful it was, and the pores, I'd made those too, and the hair. I'd made it all and it was beautiful. Somewhere inside of me I laughed a soft laugh and I was prideful and I was glad I was able to have turned an old situation that was ridiculous into a new memory for her.

It should be noted that this post is unrelated to my complaint earlier in the CIJS thread, lol....

One of my new colleagues, upon learning my age, being stunned and telling me that she didn't believe it and had assumed that I was in my late twenties, really put a "huge-smile" on my face.

[And believe me, I look like I got beat with the proverbial ugly stick these days between everything that has gone on in my life, lol].

Also, simply receiving a few words from someone whom I consider a dear friend and have missed terribly has helped to make not just today, but this entire past week an excellent one.

Here's to hoping for a general upward trend continuing into the new year!
