Holy cow!!
I haven't blogged since forever and here we are in August!!

Let's see what's happened...

My youngest daughter graduated from high school in June. A major hooray!! That whole issue was a huge, huge source of stress. We had issues going on, of course, but now that chapter has closed. Thank you God.

I have a maintained 4.0 GPA in school. I am proud of myself. I'm currently in my last class which I am enjoying enormously. Psychology. Too bad you need a Masters to even be a therapist. I could so see myself doing that, but alas... Today I became a volunteer for the hospital to begin my extern ship. This is supposed to lead to a job. Sooner than not, I'm praying. It has been horrendously hot here in south eastern PA. That means that it's been horrendously hot at work. Last Friday when I left work it was 96 INSIDE. For real. I am truly not exaggerating. Yes, it's literally a sweat shop.

My older daughter got a job!! She starts August 27th. Another major hooray. She and I have been going to school together but she's taking accounting. And now she's going to be an accountant!!

Our little fountain (more like a puddle) is so cute!! The birds absolutely love it. The sugar peas didn't make it. This is the first year since I can't remember when, that I don't have sugar peas. the bunnies just wouldn't leave them alone, and for some reason I just wasn't into it this year. We do have tomatoes, eggplant and some zucchini. The zucchini aren't doing that great either. They start to grow and then turn yellow and rot. We had some kohlrabi plants too. they came in early and Kev ate em up!!

I'm so thrilled about our little vacation/Pam visit!! We are leaving on Saturday. I can't wait to see her and Woody. AND I can't wait to feel that sand beneath my feet. Oh, it's like coming home. I could sit on the beach and just watch the ocean all day. Heaven on Earth.

Hmm what else...I can't think of anything!
I am kinda tired , so I'll see ya later.

My baby is doing much better. She is dealing with her troubles in a mature way, and I am so proud of her!

I, on the other hand, am not doing so well. I started with the flu on Tuesday at work. I started out feeling so cold and exhausted. I told a kid that works with me that I was going to go home, make supper, and die! I got progressively worse as the evening went on. Today was the first day that I have felt even remotely human, rather than a big ball of massive traffic accident. So, of course I overdid it! I did call my doctor on Wednesday, as my sister-in-law the nurse told me to do. He called in a prescription for me for Tamiflu. I suppose it has helped,lol. I can't imagine how long this would last if I didn't take this medicine!
My family has been helpful for the most part. I guess with my husband I only get so many "sick days". I think, in his mind, I should be over this by now. I hope he doesn't get this, because if he does I will have to kill him. He is a typical male when he is sick. No one can possibly know how he feels because they have never known such an illness! On the other hand, a "sadistic" side of me hopes he does, so that he can know how crappy I really feel.
One good thing has come of this- I have lost about ten pounds! No, no, there is no intestinal thing going on. I just had no appetite. And when I did eat everything tasted weird! That part is getting better.
The worst part is that I have lost three days of work. Ouch, in a BIG way. Ah well, we'll get by. Don't we always? The Lord provides.

I think I'll go find something to eat...I'm hungry!

Later
