Saw Mocha again. Mocha's a bit sad since he hasn't been able to come home yet. He looked REALLY sad before he saw us. But he keeps improving. My poor buddy, I wish I could be there with him EVERY day. I wish I could have gotten my license before all of this happened. I could see him every day, then. I'd be there with him as much as I could. I think me and my Dad seeing him is key to his recovery.
 
Five more months until Christmas....
Weee......

For some it will be a repeat of previous years...For others.......something new!

Repeats can be fun. If you're a spectator.

Anyone making plans yet?

"Single... and Ready to Jingle."

Er... My big plans this year are to actually do a little decorating, which I haven't done since I was like 23.

I think I'm going to get a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and string up a bunch of lights.

I've told my Husband's family that I appreciate their thoughtful gifts, I think it's time to stop the gift madness. I suggested that if they felt like they wanted to do something that they give money to charity. My sister in law loves the idea, my Husband's Niece's seem less than thrilled. It took a lot for me to say anything, my husband won't and we don't habe the money to be buying gifts for a lot of people. My family has stopped the gifting years ago. Little one's get a gift, we have given to the adults when there is a need.
 
Oh hello there, confusion...

So here I was, minding my own business and packing yet another box, when someone knocked on my door.

My ex.

He held out a venti caramel frappuccino (double shot of espresso), said "Thought you could use a cold drink. Good luck with your move", hugged the kids, and left.

Whaaaa....?
More importantly, WHY?

By this time tomorrow, I'll be in my new place, and will never have to come back to this apartment again.

I'm grateful that God provided this place for me and my kiddos, allowing us to get out of an increasingly bad situation. I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned while living here, the growth and change (and the exercise, climbing the stupid stairs). It was kind of fun and exciting, setting up here on my own...and it was scary and lonely.

I'm leaving behind yet more unpleasant memories, but taking with me the wisdom and strength gained from them.

We celebrated my son's 3rd birthday here, with almost literally nothing- my sister stepped in to make sure he had a special day while I made him cupcakes.
My daughter took her first steps here- today she walked across the room by herself, into my arms.
I've shed more tears here than anywhere else, ever.

This apartment has never felt like Home. I don't know if our new place will, either. That makes me sad...but at the same time, this has been just the first step in an adventure, and we're about to take the second step.

In a way, I'm learning to walk alone just as my daughter is.

Of all your great posts in recent months this is one of my favorites.
 
I had an argument with my guardian angel today. He said he wanted a pay-increase if I want him to continue guarding me. I said I could hire a guard dog that would be less expensive and do the same job.

He became irate and said "Oh yeah?", I responded "Yeah", he repeated "Oh yeah?", and again I said "Yeah".

We then stared at each other in silence for a moment, then he confessed his addiction to Angel Dust. I had sympathy for him and gave him a 150% pay increase.

It wasn't until after I signed our new contract that I found out Angel Dust is actually a street drug, not a form of cute heavenly sparkles like I originally thought. I won't make that mistake again.



***Update*** - I was recently able to get my guardian angel some help for his addiction by signing him up to AAA (which stands for Angels Addicted to Angel-Dust).

What's the deal with new members waltzing into CC and telling us off for how we deal with trolls etc?
Excuse me, bud, but I think not knowing the situation, nor the frustration of what we have to deal with on a regular basis, disqualifies you from saying much of anything!

Arlene, my love, go back to bed! And body clock, be kind to her, please.

I'm REEEALLLYYYY hoping that I can visit Mocha tomorrow. Dad's thinking we might not be able to...but man, the way he looked when I saw him today...makes me wanna never leave him alone again. Poor buddy.
 
So, my clinic visit yesterday went better than the previous visits. One IV stick (though she took FOR-EVER to get it in) and it was relatively painless. They also wanted blood work again (seriously, twice in a week?), this took TWO sticks, first one hurt a little (back of the hand) but the next attempt was quick and painless.
But the IV decided to be difficult. When she would flush it it worked fine, but then she taped it down and it stopped working. She had to fuss with it at least 10 minutes before she got it working. haha.
Saw a different doc, one i'd never seen. Told her about the tiredness (shes maybe the 3-4 doc i've spoken to on it). Explained that all the other docs just glance at my blood work and say 'your blood works fine, i don't know why you're tired'. So, she looks at my blood work, looks at the computer, makes some lame suggestions and when i shoot them down she drops it. Bleh.

Todays visit was much nicer. One IV poke, no blood, painless, quick. Was in and out of there. The nurse was quite nice. All the nurses there are really nice, but shes one of those types that just has a comforting nature, not by trying, just the vibe she puts out naturally. She actually complimented me on how i've handled everything i've been through. She was the nurse that called to tell me the night my kidney became available for transplant. So she's seen all i've been through over the years.

Anyways, yesterday when i woke up i was sooo nauseas for hours. I didn't eat for hours and when i did it was just small snacks. So i told them and they called in a prescription for nausea. So i decided to grab some breakfast before heading to the pharmacy. Get to the pharmacy, meds won't be ready til tomorrow. Bleh, what if i get nauseas tonight? Sooo.. she says she can ask if they can do a partial. Which they can. 20-30 minutes. So i walk around for 30 minutes, contemplating how i'm nearly broke and have no money coming in. So i can't buy food to take home. How i had been unable to do something for my friends b-day like i had been planning for 2 months. Good times =P
Go back, cashier starts ringing it up and then realizes the pharmacist didn't run it through insurance, so they'll have to redo it. Argh! I spent more time at Walmart than getting the IV situation done. Then she says it will still cost a little after insurance. $4. Not bad, but not good either. haha. Then she rings it up and says $4.65 'oh, the price went up .65, that's not supposed to happen'. Whatever. Just give me the meds haha.

Next week the Vascular specialist for the Phlebitis (which is clearing up quickly on its own) and another clinic visit (and hopefully no more need for IVs or more treatments).
 
The maple bacon was a huge hit. A lady just called me to let me know it was so good she compared it to "if Channing Tatum had a flavor it would be this cake ". She then went on to say if her and her husband decides to renew their vows they wanted this exact cake. Then she put her sister on the phone and then her brother in law....I'm soooo thankful it turned out good :D
 
Wow what an awesome compliment pipp! Lol. Now we just have to figure out how to get that cake where I could eat it. So happy everything turned out great for you. :)
 
I've never been so disgusted in my life by a movie trailer...really, why are we settling for this junk? I don't get it. The world has so much more to offer than that. JESUS has so much more to offer than that. We have no idea how destructive this is to society. We may think it's just a movie, but you wait and see...this world is about to get very twisted, and very fast. Even more so than what it already is.

It's gonna give the wrong people the wrong ideas.
