Howdy Everyone
Things in my little world have been INSANE.

I’ve worked 23 days in a row now. I am completely mentally exhausted. The only plus is that I got another raise and I am making double time for all the overtime I am putting in. That money is being spent faster than I can make it *lol*

Lance and I have done a lot around the house so to add to the mental exhaustion we can add physically exhausted too *lol*. We’ve decorated, landscaped, painted, bought appliances, changed the lighting in most of the rooms, found “accessories” (I love IKEA!!!! *lol*) and have completely made our house our HOME. I am also still organizing our junk for a Garage sale. Lance is annoyed because he wants his garage back *lol*

We’ve spent the nights in front of the fire in our back yard surrounded by friends and family. We had one amazing night outside *weg* and that’s all the detail I’m gonna share, but the video above should give you a better idea *grinz*

I’ve recently found a new addiction too. Facebook. Good gawd…I’m a total Facebook addict. I’ve connected with people I forgot I even knew courtesy of that website. We had a BBQ/Fire Pit last Friday night and invited some of my “Facebook Friends” over and we had a BLAST!!! Everyone brought their photo albums and we sat around getting wasted and laughing our butts off at the old memories…we even did our LypSync version of “Walk Like an Egyptian”, much to the neighbors amusement *lol*…My best friend from PLAYSCHOOL showed up. The water works weren’t far behind.

After I lost My Boyz, I shut out the remaining friends we had all shared. I REFUSED to get close to anyone remaining to me. I am learning how truly stupid that was. I am grateful to my friends for their patience and for their ability to understand that I am a moody bitch and love me dearly anyway *lol*

I am gearing up for July 7th. The Tour de France starts on the 7th and continues until July 23rd. anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE that bike race. I worship at the throne of Lance Armstrong and I am heartbroken at the plague of doping scandals that have rocked the sport. I’ve even managed to become “friends” with some of the bigger names in the sport through Facebook. I’ve been in conversations with Jan Ulrich, Ivan Basso, Yaroslav Popovich & Christophe Moreau now for almost a month. I am getting to know the men behind the bikes on a more personal level and it is really quite intriguing. My biggest dream is to spend the month of July in France and follow every stage of the Tour. One day…I wonder how Lance would feel about that as a honey moon. *lol*

My health is still status quo. I am taking 2 oxycontin a day now to enable me to work the 12+ hours a day that is required of me at the moment. I can’t drive a car, walk a straight line, or remember with any clarity things that happened last week, but HEY! I can sit up straight for more than an hour at a time *lol* Lance and I are still in separate bedrooms *sighs* I still can’t sleep lying down flat so I have to be in the spare bedroom because it has a headboard that I can prop pillows up against so I can lean at a 45 degree angle. It REALLY sucks. The animals have drawn sides. Pandora sleeps with me, Ringo sleeps with Lance. On the bright side, I had an X-ray and it shows that the clots are clearing somewhat and that they aren’t moving. My INR level has somewhat stabilized at a whopping 2.2 so I only have to go get my blood tested every 5 days now. The Warfarin is working and the oxycontin keeps me functioning. I cannot wait for this to be over.

I started swimming again too. I missed it, alot more than I thought I would. I am swimming 3 nights a week again and my body feels happier. I cant go flat out like I used to before these stupid blood clots, but it still feels great to MOVE and just float along.

I am reconnecting with my life and while at times I miss being online a lot, I am ultimately happy with the choices I am making. I hope you are all doing well. I miss you guys.
*hugs*
