My Journey...

Daily ramblings of an Endometriosis survivor, possible MS sufferer, wife and Mommy of 2 precious little girls...but more so lately, a place to complain because I just don't feel good.

And Jobs For $100, It IS!

Yeh, OK...so I'm bad at keep up with this thing. Sorry! *blushing* I'll be happy when this exam and tax season is over with so I can get back to my INTERNET!!! : )

Big news for this entry is YES, Phil got his job. I'm uber-geeked about it...don't take this the wrong way, but it's nice to come home from working, and he's not there - because he's working!!! Anyway, he is working for Action Business Suppliers...a family-owned company that has been in business for over 60 years. He wears a lot of hats in this job from administrative duties to overseeing their entire printing area. He likes it pretty well, so far, but it's a lot more strict than he's used to. It doesn't matter...HE'S WORKING!!!!

In other news...I *finally* had my repeat MRI's and my VEP test on Friday...after they called to tell me about my appointments only a mere 24 hours beforehand. (What in the HELL is wrong with doctors' offices these days anyway??? They take almost 2 full months to call me with the appointments, and they when they DO call me, it's 24 hours before they have me scheduled!!!)

MRI's went about as they have any other time...loud, clangy and LONG. The VEP was interesting, to say the very least. I had 6 electrodes on my head (that gel they connected them with did WONDERS for my hair, let me tell ya.....(*not*)), and they would cover up one eye at a time. I had to stare with my one uncovered eye at a red dot in the center of a TV. There were black and white checkerboard patterns that swirled all around the red dot. Repeat with other eye. Fun. It took them more time to put the electrodes on my head than it did for the test to take place. I, personally, do not see how something that simple can give off so much information, but apparently, it can.

Anyway, I will not have any answers on these tests until March 13th when I see my Neurologist again. That's kind of a running theme these days...waiting on exam scores. I'm STILL waiting on the results to the 3rd part of my CPA exam, too. Hmpf!

***Oh, the waiting...is the hardest part....*** (Excuse me while I channel Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for a moment...)

That's about all of the excitement that's going on around here right now...

OH, and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to you all!! I truly hope that you are able to spend wonderful time surrounded by those you love today.

(I AM proud of myself because I cooked a nice Valentine's dinner for myself, Phil and the girls last night - filet mignon, baked potatoes, steamed broccoli and tomato and mozzerella salad - and it was ALL EDIBLE!!! WOOHOOO!!!)
