Well, this has certainly been no picnic the last few days. I have the sneaking suspicion there's more to my heavy naps, feeling like crap, swollen tonsils, swollen glands and sore neck. I, unfortunately, may be succumbing to another round of mononucle

Just a quickie post as I'm on my phone and it's not as convenient as making a post on the computer. Also, pardon the typos and grammatical errors in advance please. I don't know what happened to me tonight but it has me concerned. I came home an

Popping in for a quick visit/catch up. Things are still just floating along here. I've been researching and reading up on my mom's PE that she has, and her treatment and recovery. For something so little, that you wouldn't think could do a lot of dam

I'm in the mood to write for whatever reason, but not to write what I need to, if that makes sense. I'm supposed to be typing up everything I can remember from my mom's first hospital visit in case she decides to take legal action over this blood clot

Well this was not and is not the weekend I was hoping for. It's been too busy and too stressful. We've had too much to do and too little time and nothing is slowing down. This has also been one of those 'broke as a joke' weekends. Everything has had to

The waiting has begun. Yes, I played hooky today to revamp my resume and employment social networking accounts. I just sat here all morning and updated my resume, my Monster.com account, my CareerBuilder account, and my LinkedIn account. Here's to a

Things are kind of thick today. Mom is still in the hospital, has lost her job (found out yesterday) which means she's lost her insurance, and is stressing big time. To add to that my aunt went into the ICU last night because of alcohol poisoni

I couldn't get on here til well after work, but I miss the good 'ol days of everyone celebrating a birthday. Would anybody like to join me in wishing this very special woman a wonderful birthday? Even if she doesn't get to see it right away, I know sh
