There is just NOT enough time to do anything anymore.
I feel so rushed and haven't been getting much sleep. I guess if I wasn't such a procrastinator then I could manage my time a little better. I'm REALLY trying to change that! Honestly.
Lately it's just been a lot of sickness. I had been sick for almost ALL of October. I have this lingering cough that just won't go away. It's giving everyone in my office swine-fears. I've been managing it, but there was one week where it knocked me out COLD!! I went to the doctors and confirmed that it wasn't "the swine", and got better, but the cough is still here. And every day it threatens to turn into another dreaded cold.
I've also been having some migraines. This didn't worry me so much because I kinda just counted it out as a symptom of my caffeine withdrawal. But after about a month and a half of no caffeine they didn't go away. And even when I started on caffeine again, they wouldn't go away. They got so bad to the point where I couldn't open my eyes and I couldn't sleep because of the pounding.
My doc immediately sent me in to get a CT scan of my brain. Normal. So now what. I have an appointment next week to see if I need to go to see a neurologist. Crossing my fingers and praying that I don't have some kind of tumor or something.
That has been the bulk of my worries for the past month or so. But other than that, things have been okay.
Karl and I have been on a hit or miss schedule with our intimacy lately. It's getting kinda bad. He's starting to count the days since the "last time" and we can't seem to get it together enough to "seal the deal". I don't know what's wrong. Sick. I guess. But there have been times when I was feeling fine, but just tired. Sleeps off. Again. I can't seem to get it together.
Oh and then there's office drama. These people don't have enough work to keep them busy enough to not cause any drama. But I guess that's what happens when you work with all WOMEN all the time. Which is probably why I ALWAYS tend to find a guy to cling to in my office.
My new guy's name is Phillip. Sweet guy. I actually thought he was "sweet" when we met. He came to work for the department two weeks before I did. He told me he thought I was a little strange when we first met, but now I'm starting to grow on him. I also work with Lucinda. (she's my girlfriend who I used to work with at NASA) And I work with another girl I used to work with at
NASA named Casey Little. We joke about her name because she IS little with a Napoleon complex! Her name used to be Casey Green when we worked together and we joked about how if she married her boyfriend at the time that her name would be LITTLE! And she married him! LOL!
The hard part about working with Casey is that she knew me when I first started to work. When I was GREEN and when I was young. She tells TONS of stories to people all around the office about how bubbly I was and how I used to always want to help with everything. That's not so bad. But GEEZ!! The one story I can't get her to stop telling is how Karl like HER before he started dating me. And the only way Karl and I met was because she played a trick on him and told him that I wanted to take him out to lunch. I didn't know she said that, so when he came to me, I kinda embarrassed him. And when I found out it was joke, I felt so bad that we actually did end up having lunch and becoming good friends.
Let Karl tell it and he'll say he never really did like Casey, but I was there, I saw how he was around her. It was hilarious!
So besides Casey going around telling my business. I enjoy working with Lu again. And Phillip keeps me entertained. Oh and I also work with my father-in-law's cousin, Steph. Small world. Steph, Phil and I worked in the back of the office so we became fast friends being the "newbies" and all.
I've been at that job for 6 months now and I got a cash award from my servicing office. Which was pretty darn AWESOME considering I went into DEBT taking my sis to Atlantic City for her 30th Birthday! But it came right on time and came in handy!
The kids have been doing great. Sam was a little bummed because she didn't get to test for her green belt in karate a few weeks ago with her class. She just wasn't ready. She was rushing it and needed some more time to practice. We actually put an extra $120 into her for private lessons that STILL didn't help her test, but it's all good. She'll get to try again at the end of this month. There were quite a few others in her class that weren't ready either, so it was okay.
Jason and Felicia are both white belts and are doing pretty awesome in their classes. The only problem with karate at this point is that we be there FOUR days a week now. GEEZ!! Karl and I take turns, so it's all good. But with being sick, Karl had been taking most of the turns, bless his heart. I gotta step my game up and get it in gear to help.
I tired myself out this past weekend by going to three Halloween parties. But I was glad I didn't have to go trick-or-treating this year. Going door to door just hasn't been the same the last few years, so I was glad to have some parties to go to!
Jason was BLADE and had this cool looking dagger that popped out of this thing on his wrist. Sam was my Runway DIVA, so I got her a wig and sunglasses and jewelry to go with her little outfit. (The aftercare teacher said she didn't need the outfit to be a DIVA! Oh my!) And Felicia was Supergirl! Josh bought her a crowbar that she could bend that made noises to show how strong she was! And he also bought krytonite. I got her a blond wig. It was the cutest! And we had a blast! But when Sunday came, I was sooooo tired!
I gotta get this weight off. I think I would have more energy. Maybe not. I don't know. I was just sitting here thinking about it.
Anyway. So things are going good. The kids are doing good in school. I think I'm about two weeks away from getting my house as clean as I need it to be. (this place is a pig-sty!) Hopefully we'll get it together for the holidays.
Right now, I'm working. Yup, actually working. Trying to get some things together so that I won't have to rush and do them tomorrow. My supervisor has been leaving me "acting" for her a lot over the past few months, so I feel like I need to set an example. I have to act for her tomorrow.
This weekend is Josh's last weekend with the kids for about a year. He's being stationed in Korea and he leaves on Saturday. I hope he doesn't have to do the whole year, but I'm glad he's seeing his military term through to retirement. He's been in the Air Force since 1995, so he doesn't have that long to go. But I know for him it's been a while. He hasn't quite talked about how he feels about having to go, but he did say he was going to miss the kids a lot. We're going to make sure they write and talk and send videos and stuff. Hopefully that helps him.
Well, I got work to do and some clothes to wash. It was good coming back out here for a sec. I'll make sure to come back sooner!

Just dropping by to wish you a great day and a great week ahead. 
You really HAVE had a lot going on, haven't you! I'm sure being so sick for so long is at least part of what's causing the intimacy struggle, but just give yourself time to get better, and things in that department will get better too. 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my place. MUCH APPRECIATED!!! Wow, you have a full plate. Hope all goes well, health issues take a lot out of a person. I can relate.
