Surgeries

Warning, This might be TMI for those of you that don't want to know about some of my personal issues.

Well I went to my doctor's appointment today and we decided that I am going to go in for a Laproscopy to help fix my Endometriosis, which over the last 6 months has gotten worse,

in my opinion.

It is considered surgery, but I can go home about 4 hours after the procedure and should be okay.

I will either get to do that on this coming Tuesday or next month. I am crossing my fingers for Tuesday because I just want to get this over with and start new.

Last year when my doctor suggested it I felt like it was totally out of the question, however it is amazing what 10 months of constant pain in your pelvis can do to your brain.

So at this point I am relieved that something is going to happen to help my pain and help me get some buns in my oven.

Jeff on the other hand is going in for Knee surgery on the 6th.

He will be having what is called a Lateral Release.

He is really nervous and anxious about having to be in bed for 6 weeks.

His is going to be a lot more intense because he will basically have to learn how to use his knee all over again.

I know that he is going to be okay, but Jeff is just worried. He is not the type of guy who would come out and say it, but I know he is nervous so I am praying for him!

But that is the latest and greatest and I never thought I would be so excited about having surgery!

P.S. Surgery will be this Tuesday! Yeah!

This Week

Had a first and second interview, thought they went pretty well,told me they would call on Thursday with an offer, no phone call came.

However, the company is all the way in Central Phoenix, a drive I could definitely do without.

Had a sad day where I didn't want to really do anything or talk to anyone.

Glad it only lasted a day.

Made dinner every day this week, definitely a good accomplishment.

Been trying to walk for exercise purposes, did okay without a lot pain. It's tough though.

Weeded the front yard, that was an adventure.

Going to a baby blessing for my niece tomorrow.

My goal for next week is to have a job or the prospect of a job!!

My Question of the Day

Do you ever feel like certain people are put into your life for

an extremely specific purpose?

(And I am not talking about spouse's, families, etc., although I do know that they count)

But I am talking more like friends, ward members, neighbors, coworkers, etc?

And sometimes it takes a couple of years for you to realize that purpose?

iPod & The Proposal

As some of you may know, I have LOTS of trouble sleeping.

Recently I have found that playing scrabble and other fun games on my iPod has been able to help me through my sleepless nights.

However,

last night, the iPod died. I have tried everything I know how in order to revive it and

there is definitely no pulse.

I am taking it into the Apple store today to see if they can do anything for me,

but I have a yucky feeling that I would have to buy a new one.

Unfortunately, that is not really in my budget at this time. Sadness.

Also, last night I watched the Proposal.

I laughed so hard I think I cried a few times. I love the sarcasm of Ryan Reynolds.

This was definitely a much needed feel good movie. Too bad I watched this before

my iPod broke.

(Please insert sad face here)

*****Just got back from the Apple store and the iPod is no longer.*******

(Insert even bigger sad face here)

Monday

I had a job interview this morning, I must say it went well. No formal offer, they would like to do a series of 4 interviews.

However, even though nothing is set or has been offered,

I feel good about myself. It has been a few weeks since I could say that.

It was a long drive for a short interview, but it was a major self esteem booster!

I feel like I am getting control of my life back.

I can do this and everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

Job Hunting

This is what Chowder does while I sit at the computer looking for jobs.

I think he has more fun than I do!

Emotional

I just spent the last hour trying to convince Jeff to stay home from his trip.

I lost, I cried, he left.

I hate that I cry every time he leaves. I'm such a girl sometimes!

And he stole the camera again before I could upload my photos. NEAT!

Thankfuls

It's only Monday and I am thankful for the following this week:

1. Jeff is back from Wyoming with some smelly Antelope

2. Decorating for Fall/Halloween

3. Feeling the spirit so strongly at Church yesterday that I feel ready for my battles ahead

4. Did I mention smelly Antelope?

5. Not being a single lady.... because he did put a ring on it

6. Connecting with old friends

7. Connecting with new friends

8. Knowing my life is in the Lord's hands.

Bring it on!! I can dig it!

Trials

So right now I have been thrown a bit of a curve in my life's road, however I know that

whatever is thrown at me next I am relieved to have this man by my side.

I am so thankful for this man.

He truly knows me and how to handle all of my everyday issues.

Even though he is off hunting Antelope in Wyoming right now, I still love him.

Granted, I would definitely rather have him here, but the time he put in before he left was priceless.

P.S..

I struggle with Anxiety and due to this new "turn" in my road, I have lost 7 pounds!!

I always like to end on a good note!

A space of my very own

Jeff and I live in a 3 bedroom house,

i bedroom we share, another is Jeff's office and the third has always been the "junk room"

And I literally mean JUNK.

Well, on Monday i finally got myself together, threw away stuff and got a free desk.

So now I have my very own room and desk and everything!!

I never imagined that having a space in my house that is all my very own would be so exciting,

but it truly is. I can blog and do whatever I want, all in my own room.

And the best part is that I get to decorate it to. So,

Pictures to come once it get it a little more cleaned up!
