I gave all my employee’s a day off tomorrow to sober up. I’m the only one out of the bunch that can’t drink due to medication so I thought, hey? Why don’t I take the day tomorrow and let them off the hook since they have done such a great job over the holiday break. I know, such a nice boss, you should work for me. How are your computer skillz? If they are up to par I’m interested in expanding my team. Just email me at yolospat @ gmail dot com.

Anyway, in an effort to replace what was once taken from me and sold for a vice without my permission, today was one of those days. My husband got me a new acoustic guitar.She’s a Dean and she’s HAWT!!!

Not only is she beautiful, but she sounds so much better than my old alverez. Now I need to start Guitar Lessons somewhere. I’ve always wanted to play and I’m so excited to start.

Due to my doctors appointment yesterday some things are worse. My blood is 3 times thicker as before which is causing me more pain. I’ve been put on Heparin twice a day and due to the contract I signed I have to wear a medical necklace stating anti-coagalant.

At least it’s out of the way but I’m sure getting sick of all the pills and shots. I have so much more but I have to go to bed, because I promised my husband that I would go to bed at the same time every night and it’s already past my time. Anyway, more tomorrow.

That’s what I’ve been doing the last 48 hours. I’ve hardly been awake. I’ve been so stiff and sore and the fibro pain has been really bad. Trying to make the best of it.

My Mother is in a mood today. Tried a few times to make her snap out of it, but I failed miserably.

My hubby got a new promotion at work, along with a new raise!!! I’m so completely excited and proud of him. Lots have changed in the last 6 months (between him and I) and all those changes have been great and wonderful.

I think on our 5 year anniversary, I want to have the wedding we never had. Not to get married again, but to renew our vows. I want to have a wedding dress, and flowers. Our wedding 2 years ago cost $30 in the Georgia Hollywood court house.

I’m off to have a reading date with the hubby …

Today is a day for family & friends. Today I’m surrounded by family and I’ve either talked or texted those closest to me wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving receiving well wishes in return.

Since my big promotion and added responsibilities, I’ve been sucked into work the past week and a half, night and day. We had a 2am conference call a few nights ago that lasted till 5am, only to turn around and have another one at 7am, then again at 11am then working till 7pm almost every night. I’m sliding into my new position of management like riding a bike. Some things are never forgotten and I’m in my prime. With my new idea’s mixed with imagination and motivation my future vision is on it’s way to being a reality more quickly than I thought. This included hiring more hands to match the work load, being pro-active on events coming down the pipe. Due to a busy week I’ve neglected email and my focus has turned to my husband and to my Mother and Grandmother visiting from Colorado.

I’ve also learned I need to exercise my time management skills and tweak it a bit to allow a healthy balance between work and home.

Mom and I went on a 4 hour road trip yesterday driving through nearly every small town between Kennesaw and Blairsville in north Georgia taking pictures and seeing more of this state that I now live in. We picked up my Grandmother who’s been visiting cousins a week ago today when we drove her up the first time.

Now that I’m finally caught up with friends blogs and email I have the rest of the evening to myself. Because of my husband and I’s insomniac ridden late night bedtimes we’ve been taking refuge in the basement so Mom and Grandma aren’t woken up by late night smoke breaks and gaming.

The pain from the Fibro is also getting worse instead of getting better so I’m seeing Dr. C on Monday. It’s getting to the point that walking a dreaded task. Not good, not good. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel, I’m still hopeful. I’ve been issued a handicap tag by the Georgia department of Revenue to aid in the amount of walking I have to do each day. Several of my close friends have turned it into a positive experience due to my fear of being labeled like having front row tickets to do shopping for Black Friday. I will be doing my shopping online, but it was the thought that counted.

As soon as I get my pictures organized they will be uploaded soon, so be looking for a heavy picture post. Time to make more coffee and get a bowl of ice cream!

My husband and myself both had the day off today to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary. We both slept in but when I got up my feet, knees and hips were SCREAMING at me. I took a pain pill and a muscle relaxer and went back to bed until Jonah woke me up needing to go out.

Mom sent us a card with a $100 gift certificate for Walmart and a very nice card. After Brendan and I got up and around we went shopping for groceries and about 97% that wasn’t on the list. Heh. We came home to rest up because we’re going to Red Lobster for dinner.

I’ve learned so many things about marriage in the 2 years we’ve been married and the 3 years we’ve been together. We have already tested these vows:

1. For better or for worse
2. In sickness and in health

And we made it And that makes me happy and I look forward to many years to come.

This change in weather has been kicking my ass. This morning I was so sore and stiff. The pain lately has been a lot worse too, especially in my legs. My feet have been swelling up all weekend too so I’m trying to keep them propped up as much as possible. I have the just-got-run-over-by-a-mac-truck feeling today and lately.

I found a web site Friday night that streams the police scanner at Scan Cobb. When I was growing up my Father was a fireman and we always had a police scanner playing 24/7. I used to have a mobil scanner, but I don’t anymore so it was exciting that they actually stream this stuff. It makes me feel like my Grandma Reba who still has her scanner going all the time.

Tomorrow is my husband and I’s 2nd year anniversary. It’s amazing.
