Current Mood: chipper

Finally home after two and a half months. Wonder when the calendar melt will stop and I will begin to really move through time at the right speed again? Can't even explain how great it felt to sleep in our own bed. Funny to be around my familiarities again. Work tomorrow... like I never left!

Current Mood: hopeful

Hello, hello. How's everyone doing? Believe it or not, I still read this thing, but never seem to have the time to write in it. And, I do realize that would not take up anymore time. But so it goes. Things are still topsy turvy over here, I am feeling better, but my father has been in the hospital for nine days. Pretty stressful times, especially for my Mom who has logged more hospital hours in the last month between the two of us, than anyone should ever have to stomach. My brother has been here this week from VA, which has been good during all of this. I am hoping to go back to work in a couple weeks, then if the stars would align look for a new, less stress-involved work place for the fall. That would be good. Ross is working too hard, in my opinion and I do wish for us to get back to our place, which I haven't seen in two months, soon. And we need a vacation, just the two of us. I love that man with all of my heart.

C'est ca.

Back from five more days at the hospital and another lung tap taking 2 liters of fluid from my right lung. I do not recommend a chest tube in your back. Something I won't get over for a while yet. Now my lung needs to get on board and start doing its job again. Also got my cast off, though still have a long while to recover yet! Looking forward to getting real rest, rather than interrupted rest in the hospital. The corner has been turned and forward motion will be made!

Current Mood: calm

Got out of the hospital yesterday, glad to be back at my parents and somewhat able to breathe. Thank you to all who have responded to Ross' posts and updates. Still have a lot of healing to do, but will be easier after my 10 day stay in the Lahey Clinic. I have to say that I had the most amazing nurses and doctors looking out for me. I truly had no negative run ins or bad vibes the whole time I was there. I am so grateful to my friends, family and especially Ross for helping me through this nightmare.

Current Mood: hopeful

I am still alive, just a bit broken. Thank you for the well wishes. I do feel like climbing the walls some, not used to being so idle. Sedentary. Stuck. Ross has been a champ, splitting himself in 6 directions and dealing with all that comes along with this lovely injury. My Mom has been A-1 nurse at my beck and call. Looking forward to getting back onto two feet and feeling real again. I hope you are all well. I do think about writing in this journal, really.

Current Mood: disappointed

ho hum.

Current Mood: bored

I've just checked my gmail account for the first time since opening it. I had to try the password more than once (read 6) and then remembered what I used 'duh'! At any rate I had two emails from Jane (Ross' brother Scott's fiancee), one showing her beautious ring, the other catching up on the news. I feel so badly they have been sitting there for over a week! Slaps noggin. It was great to hear from her though!!!

Current Mood: bouncy

It's been sort of a bad week. I managed to get strep throat on Friday night, losing my weekend and my work day on Monday. I returned to work on Tuesday and was prepared to continue my muscle through the week, feeling not great, but able to get through. Just a hacking cough persisting. Today I was heavy into a project at work before my treatments for the day began and got the tell tale signs of a migraine. The eyes went beserk and staticky, nausea came in waves and the word retrieval went right out the window. Not wasting too much time I rescheduled all the appointments and a co-worker brought me home. 6 hours of sleep later, I just feel tired. I missed out on a family dinner tonight with my husband, mom, sister-in-law and nephew that I was really looking forward to and am now just pissed at myself. Blah. I hope to rest up over the weekend and get on the other side of all this crappiness.

Stay healthy.

Hiya. Well all is well as 2005 gets off to a start. Had a very low-key New Year celebration for two as we hibernated in Maine for the weekend. No responsibilities to anyone but ourselves was quite nice. I could have used a couple more weeks of nothingness, but tisn't the season to be greedy. Christmas week was hectic and sick. We had the headcold from hell and life was just too busy. Too much slammed into not enough time. Good times for the most part were had though. Finally got most of the photos from the photographer, but not without some serious teeth pulling. Work is as bizarre as ever, ssdd! I hope you are all well.

Current Mood: uncomfortable

I neglect this thing despite my good intentions. It's freaking cold here (and yes to my resident wise-asses, I do know it is December and I do know I live in Massachusetts), but it seems excessively cold in my opinion and I do think there is alot to be said for Winter vacations to warm destinations. So anyone taking one of those, you have my full support. I have a cold which is making me exceptionally sensitive to the cold. I hate Christmas colds and I am quite happy cursing the work mate that most likely shared her illness with me. We are trying to prep for the holiday. I think I've sorted out what to get Ross as his gift, now I've just got to go and get it. Most of the other shopping, save a few final touches are complete. We head for Maine in the AM after I stop by the SS office to start the ball rolling on the name change. Bout time I got around to that! I hope you are all cozy in your homes and grateful for the heat and roof we try not to take for granted this time of year. I hope your holidays are all that you hope for and so much more! Enjoy!

hello, again.

things are buzzing along. Ross' parents have been here since tuesday. Been nice to get to know them more in person. My family and friends have been mingling with them as well. The girls had our 'spa day' yesterday, which began in fiasco style! It took us an hour (instead of the expected 15 minutes) to get to the place, a local fair had derailed all the traffic heading west. We got into the spa, where my Mom promptly dropped a bottle of red wine onto the stone tiles. Way to make an entrance! We had a lovely time, despite the entrance. Last night we had a cookout for 12 at my brother's place. A good time was had by all. Today is Ross' bachelor day... look out Boston! Lots to do in the few remaining days before wedded bliss. Hope you are all well!!!

1st dress fitting today....

Hello dear journal
this poor neglected thing....

life has been very busy lately. had a conference for four days outside of LA. Had a fun time exploring as much of southern california as possible after class. Found some really great spots and especially fell in love with Santa Monica. then I had to work 12 hours for two days and then jet straight up to Maine. We went to Bar Harbor and began to make some decisions after meeting with the baker and the coordinator at the inn. Then roll onto the weekend with the family. All in all quite a whirlwind, no wonder I am still feeling tired....

So how's everyone else doing?

Current Mood: contemplative

Had sort of an annoying day at work today. I am supposed to go to a conference in the beginning of April in California. I've never been to California and I'm going to the conference alone. I am due to leave in 10 days and my company has not arranged airfare, or accomodation. The conference is at a clinic, not a hotel so they sent a list of 5 hotels nearby (all 1.94-2.96 miles away). So I will do what to get to the conference each day? My boss suggested an airport shuttle to get me from the Long Beach airport to whatever hotel they choose... but then??

So today I spent part of the day getting quotes for those hotels which vary significantly in rates (we are on the economy plan of course) as well as realizing all flights they have found are 10+ hours b/c of layovers, vs. Jet Blue which is about 4.5 hours of flight time. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Will have to hear back from the boss about renting a car.

Long time, no write
Life is great... wonderful and perfect in so many ways. Stowe was an amazing couple of days, just wished it could have lasted for longer. We came back changed people! Spent the day here at my parents and Ross and I (mainly Ross) cooked them a great dinner. He made soup for a starter that is so good that I want to drink it. So good we are about to have seconds of it for breakfast. SOUP!

Current Mood: ecstatic

My weekend has officially just begun...

all good things from here on out.

Hope you are all well.

Amazing sex is wonderful
