2/23/2014

Hey everyone!

Well, it's only been 2 1/2 days into my "vacation" time off and I'm already bored! I've cleaned as much of my apartment as I want to right now...although I'm sure more will get done for the next few days. Kaiden has been doing pretty good since his surgery, until tonight. He's seemed to go downhill and more in pain. He doesn't even want to lay with me tonight. I will probably just bring him in anyways when I go to bed. Or lay him in his room. I don't like the idea of him being in the living room all by himself...I don't know why. His cheeks are flushed, but when I took him temperature he was at normal temp. I was told the 3rd-5th days would be the worst and that's tomorrow.

I know, I know...I'm not the most exciting person right now. My life has actually been pretty boring lately. I've just been wanting to get out of this stupid cold and snowy winter into some place WARM. Road trips are calling my name, but unfortunately, so are bills. Now that my tax refund had come and gone, most of my bills have been taken care of.

Well, I'm off for now.

I hope everyone is good!

2/21/2014.

Hey everyone.
It's been awhile since I have updated, and I even got told the other day that I had nothing for someone to read. ;) If she's reading this, she knows who she is. Haha, love youuu.
She's right, though. I haven't been on lately. I always say work, but in truth, lately it's because I have been lazy and tired.
I am vacation right now for the next few days, as my son has had his tonsils and adenoids taken out this morning. I am staying home from work to be with him during his recovery. Right now, he's camping out in the living room with the TV, since he's supposed to be taking it easy. He can't go school for a week and can not play in gym for two weeks. He LOVES gym. He's my active, athletic little guy. :)

I will be able to be on here more, and I expect to be since I will most likely get bored these next few days. This time off of work will be so beneficial to me, since I will have the time to spend with Kaiden, get my apartment the way I want, and have the time to recharge and re-energize so I can go back to work and have at it. I have been way too exhausted and it has definitely been affecting my output at work. Although, I do have to say that this whole week, I have probably been more productive at two of my jobs than I have been in awhile, and that's probably because I knew I had some days off coming up to recoup.

I'm actually excited to be going back to work in a while. Since I have gotten most people, bills, and other such things paid off last week, I will be able to start saving for vacations, road trips, and other fun things for Kaiden and I to do. I'm excited to be able to take him and one of my best friends/sisters to both of their first Red Wings game in March! :) It's going to be such an exciting time and experience. Plus, it would only be my second time going to a game without my dad!

Things are starting to look up, I just gotta keep the faith in God. :) I'm proud to say that each and everyday, my relationship with Him is going to get stronger!

I hope you all have a good day/night!

Until next time. :)

February 7, 2014

So I didn't post again by the end January like I said I would, but honestly, I didn't get a lot of readers when I was posting about COPD. It's a serious topic, but I guess none of you really care much about it, so I'm moving on from it for now.

A little update on my personal life:
Yesterday was my younger sister's 19th birthday. This is her second birthday that I'm not able to spend with her, as she is still living in Florida. I miss her a lot.
Yesterday was also the start of my weight loss journey.
I stepped on the scale and hated what I saw. Now, I'm not like 300 pounds or anything, but I don't remember being heavier than I am now and I don't like it one bit. So I have decided to actually and finally do something about it. I think my weight is also a reason why my knees and ankles always hurt. Today, I'm going to see a knee doctor about my right knee because it gives me horrible pains anytime I kneel on it, even a little bit. It's frustrating and gets in the way of living my life because I keep forgetting about it until it happens and when that pain shoots through my leg, it makes me not able to move for a few minutes until that pain goes away.

Four days ago, February 3, was the anniversary of my grandmother's death. It has been 3 years and ohh how I miss her and love her. She was one of the best women, one of the most Christianly, kind, caring, loving, sweet, beautiful, amazing, and talented women I have ever know. I want to be more like her, but it's hard for me to be kind to those who just annoy the crap out of me. I don't have her patience. She used to always make quilts, play the piano and accordion, and bake. Ohh how she loved to do each one of those. I used to hate when she would called me, "Livy." I always got mad because that's what my friends called me, not what my grandmother should. But now I would give almost anything to hear her say it again.

The song, "See You Again" by Carrie Underwood is a fantastic song and reminds me sooo much of her and her death. I heard it on the radio as I was coming back from a Jimmy John's delivery yesterday and I started crying. It would also be 3 years from today that the funeral was held. Sooo many people came to it. She was very much loved by everybody she came into contact with. I'm so proud to be the oldest granddaughter of such a fabulous woman. <3
