time sure flies....

when you are busier than ever!
Only 7 days left of work with Office Max here in Gainesville. Doesn't seem like I've been with them for 3 1/2 years already.
Hopefully I will have a job waiting for me in Erie, even with my limited availablity.
We will see.

James Nash, from Wal-Mart's garden center passed away today. He left the store shortly after David. Evidently he's been fighting cancer. Today it took him home to Heavenly Father. He was a great person. Always on the positive side. Never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Always had a smile for me when I walked past him on my way home from work and would give me a quick handshake or hug as I rushed on to see David before continuing home.
We haven't been in contact with him since he left the store. Didn't know how to get in touch with him.
He will be missed.

Found out also that Sister Hiler from 2nd Ward passed away yesterday. She had been fighting a brain tumor for the past few months. Her funeral is tomorrow. Won't be able to attend though because of work.

yardsale success....

We had our *moving* yard sale today. It was fairly successful. Got rid of the larger items at least and some of the smaller things.

Would have been nice to have gotten rid of more.

We did get to spend most of the day with Brandi, Mike and the girls.

today...

I was finally able to get to a dentist. He said that he'll get as much work done as possible before our move the end of the month.
So much work to get done though. Comes from not have insurance or $$ for so many years to keep up with the routine work that should have been done.
I've become very self-conscious about my teeth and rarely smile anymore.
David and others are always yelling at me because I don't smile. It's embarrassing though, so I rarely do.
Hopefully I'll be able to do it again real soon, without being so self-conscious.

It was funny, when the dentist, Dr. Hughes, walked into the room, I said "I know YOU!" He looked at me and realized he knows me too! He is a regular customer at Office Max, and I never knew his job. He always is in his scrubs, and I just assumed he worked at UF, like so many other people around Gainesville, but here he has his own practice!

Mackenzie

We spent a great weekend with Mackenzie. Picked her up Saturday afternoon.
She had a lot of fun jumping on Papa David! Seems that every time we turned around she was climbing or jumping on him!
She had fun chasing him around the stairwell outside! Although she fell and skinned both knees, she seems to have went home a happy child with lots of fun memories.
We took her to the mall on Sunday and let her play at the *swamp*

abscess is pretty much gone.
Dr. upped my meds today for the diabetes. I'm now on 500mg metformin 2xday.
She said it should help my morning #'s come down now that I'm taking it at night along with the morning dose.
It's still very frustrating for me though, trying to get the numbers down to a normal level.
It's hard trying to find the proper foods and amounts to eat.
But I think I'm doing fairly well with it.
At least I was able to lose 5 pounds in the past few weeks.

been fighting an abscessed tooth since Thursday night. No fun. TrAied calling dentist friday am...but no answer, so went to primary care and got treated like crap by Tom, the Pa.He's such a jerk. I will never have him again. I will request someone else if I have to use them again.
but feeling better today. lots of amoxicillian and lortab. slept almost all day Friday. Helped David with a show yesterday, although I wasn't much help.
All I wanted to do was sleep, sleep and sleep.

today...

got our new keychains in the mail...picture of David, John Calvert and me. A really nice momento from the show we did last month.

Went to a diabetes class. Upset though that we couldn't get into the building to get the usual handouts they have. Had the class outside for about an hour...very informative even without the handouts. Will go back next month.
Tired and thinking of a short nap...David's already taking one next to me on the couch.
Then again, I may work on SmileBox a bit more. Still have tons of pictures I can do.

sick and tired of being.....

well, sick and tired!
I'm not up to par today and David is also sick. He's taking a nap right now and I'm debating starting dinner....don't really feel like cooking, but gotta make up the pork chops he got out for dinner yesterday and didn't fix.
Wish I could get over this tired feeling.

We have Serenity for the night. I'm sure going to miss these little ones when we move.

She loves jumping on the trampoline!

not dealing too well

today with the diabetes......too much to concentrate on with the move next month.
Can't eat my favorite foods until I get this under control and my sugar level has been way too high.
Hoping that the meds will help bring it down soon. I want ice cream, cookies and cake!

This is just so frustrating and I feel that some really don't understand how this is making me feel.

Life sucks....sometimes

just found out this past week that I'm diabetic.
trying to get the numbers down sure is hard when there are potato chips in the cupboard and ice cream in the freezer.

I know I can beat this though...or at least get it in control.
But in the meantime, the medicine is making me sick.
Hope it goes away soon.

Patiently waiting for our move to PA. The time is going way to fast though.
Hopefully we will be ready when the day comes.
