I See the Light Chapters 2 and 3

From the last of Chapter 1 As our relationship developed, we knew we had met before and soon figured out that we had met twenty three years earlier at the coffee shop. Richard remembered my Dad very well and that Dad always had a cigarette hanging from his lip and always was always fantastic when ask how he was. My Dad died in 1989 from colon cancer. Cancer and death was a major aspect of Richard and my relationship. On our first date Richard told me that he had had surgery in January of 1993... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Finally Writing my Book and Acupuncture is Great! Chapters 2 & 3 added

I went for an acupuncture treatment yesterday. I had not been for two years but now that I am working I can afford it again and I will be needing all my energy meridians open and flowing to be able to work. I took half the day off from work so the treatment would be more beneficial and the negative energy would flow out easier and the positive energy would flow in more easier. What a difference in how I feel. The following is the first paragraphs of my book. When I told my acupuncturist about... Sign in to see full entry.

Technology Again, Hoooraaaay

Finally, reconnected to phones and internet and it only took 4 hours on Saturday. Most of the time was the repairman being on the phone at the connection site but then he had to spend an hour finding a cut wire and reconnecting since I had changed bedrooms and the phone jack wasn't working. Rosie didn't help the process. She "treeed" Miss Daisy under the couch downstairs and spent the morning bellowing to let me know and managed to pull the filter apart on the phone downstairs that made the...

30 Years Ago Today

Today is Blake's 30th birthday. Yvette is giving him a surprize birthday party at her parents house tonight. It is hard to believe he is that old and I'm even olderLOL. I had to spend 6 months in bed to get him here alive and well so I was blessed to have a 4 hour labor and only 15 minutes of pushing to get him out. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the daylight saving time change so all I've done these past several weeks is work and sleep. I hope I get adjusted soon. It is light when we get...

Wedding Dress Shopping

Saturday was girls day out for Wedding dress shopping with both Moms and Brooke. So with all of us together and the final try on of the most perfect dress, the Wedding dress was brought. Blake called during the midst of trying on dresses and I scalded him since he is not to see the dress before the Wedding dayLOL. He said: " I can't see what your doing!" It is the most beautiful dress and is so perfect for Yvette. Her colors are apple red and champaingne. The church, reception, dress,... Sign in to see full entry.

Wellness

Wellness, what a wonderful feeling. Even during the darkest of hours with exhaustion and pain and coughing, there is a glimmer of what it will feel like to be well again. Suddenly, it appears when you least expect it and the memories of those dark days fade away except to be able to empathize with your co-workers now sick and the patient's who come in with the same thing you just went through. Anyway, even after having to put the skates on to keep up with the hectic flow of patients today, what... Sign in to see full entry.

Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough, Cough

Mercy!! I've had the flu for 4 weeks now. Everytime I think I'm getting better, I start running another fever and the coughing is unending. I've had to miss almost a week of work. We are just passing it around at work. Anyway, it has been a rough 4 weeks. I am now officially an employee of East TN State University College of Nursing. I signed my contract on Monday. The hours are perfect for me and although the pace can get extremely busy, I have been able to handle it. Keeping it short and... Sign in to see full entry.

Working Working Working

I am so sorry I haven't been keeping up with all your wonderful blogs. I am working 40 hours a week now and learning all about the job responsibilities and learning how to work in the lab to do testing and drawing blood. The last 2 weeks have been AFGO's (another F*&%##!! growth oppportunity with Blake being sick, I was up for 48 hours and worked), Blake proposing, and then, Tuesday I woke up with a urinary tract infection and a kidney stone. My provider that I work with gave me an antibiotic. I... Sign in to see full entry.

HoooooooooooRaaaaaaaaaay! He Ask Her! What a Week!

Sorry I haven't been on. I have been sooooooooooooooo busy getting into working full time. I'm also teaching a class on Breathing for Relaxation and Healing on Saturday's. Enough about that. The News: Blake finally ask Yvette to marry him tonight. If you go on my Facebook you can see it. Tears of joy and happiness. He tried to get her to the top of the Sunsphere in Knoxville but the elevator only went to the 4th floor so they went to the Market Square bridge. Their friends are distracting Yvette...

Snow Again.and Again and Again and Gnome Migration

The first day I showed up for work, the clinic was closed because of the snow. We closed again last Friday and Monday and again today. My Scion is doing great and I'm gaining my confidence back more and more as I drive in it. Today was really cold so I'm glad I didn't have to go out. I got to do a barefoot run in 3 inches of snow yesterday when Rosie ran out on the deck. I didn't have the gate closed and I was afraid she would run to Blake's. So I dashed out in my barefeet to close the gate.... Sign in to see full entry.

And It Starts All Over Again

I can't believe it is happening again and just when I was finding balance and stability. I happened to be in the same vicinity as the caregiver we use to have that caused us so much trouble. She tried to hid when she saw me and I ignored her. I, again, have started with hang up calls. The next day I stopped at the stop sign that crosses the road Mom lived on and there was a Jeep waiting at the stop sign opposite side of the road. We waited for the car to pass and I started across the road. The... Sign in to see full entry.

0ur Anniversary and I Love My New Job

Miss Rosie and I have been together for a whole year now. I got her new squeaky toys and a chew bone. She sniffed her way to a new toy when I got home from the store. She was soooooooooooooooo excited and wanted to chew the bone too but didn't want to let go of her new squeaky toy. She kept running from the kitchen to the living room trying to figure out how to get both in her mouth. I discovered a way to keep her out of the cat box. It is a hooded box and her nose is just long enough to get in.... Sign in to see full entry.

Medium Red/Brown Dog for rent for a Week(just kidding)

Miss Rosie dog has become a good alarm clock since I started my new Job. The only thing is she is 2 hours earlier than the alarm clock and she likes to tell her midnight bedtime stories,LOL This is not fitting in with my schedule. She will clean your cat box out on a daily basis and likes to redecorate when I'm away from home.LOL I was sound asleep and she started her storytelling and when I didn't respond, she started rearranging the cat box placement and was cleaning it out. She knew she was... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Feet of Snow so Far

Snow, snow and more snow. My satellite went out and I could only watch certain channels. It was a NCIS marathon today too and I couldn't get it. I was very upset. I mean a NCIS marathon. I finally put on my boots and went out and cleared off the snow and reset the box. Now I have USA channel and NCIS and all is right in my world. The snow nearly topped my boots. I will take pictures tomorrow. It is suppose to snow 4-8 more inches tonight. I am also suppose to start my new job tomorrow. If the... Sign in to see full entry.

A Beautiful White Christmas

I have to say it was a most perfect day. We had Christmas at Brooke and Scott's with all of the blended family from Scott's family and Brooke's family and friends. Brooke out did her self again. The food was wonderful and she and Scott's aunt had made Chocolate dipped everything. Brooke even made thin mint cookies out of Ritz crackers. Brooke got a baby cupcake maker and she was so excited. Jim even came up from Knoxville. It was so nice not to have anticipatory grief as in years past when... Sign in to see full entry.
