Alright so this guy that I’m dating and I spent a ton of time together and I couldn’t be happier!  He is so thoughtful, concerned and caring.

Last Thursday my parents left for their annual Florida vacation…well as luck would have it 2 crazy kinds of ants decided to converge upon our garage Saturday afternoon.  I get very stressed out about this kind of stuff because I fear they will end up in the house.  Well “The Boy” happened to call right as I had discovered the ants and said “don’t worry we’ll get it taken care of”.  I met him at the movies later that evening and he had a bag of “presents” with him…2 kinds of Bug/Ant killer and a huge tub of Caramel & Chocolate covered popcorn to make me feel better.  He asked if I had gotten the oil in my car changed yet as I had mentioned that I was WAY over due for one and when I said no he immediately made me go and get it done before we saw a movie.  He didn’t do this to be bossy or controlling, but to make sure that I’m ok with my car and that its going to last me.  He respects the “rules/requests” that my dad made that I not have “New” people at the house while they were gone, and is even willing to go hang out with my friends for an 80’s Themed party on Friday night…80’s Attire and all, no argument, no persuading, just an “of course, I’ll get to be with you right?”…wow it’s so great!  I just really can’t stop smiling every time he enters my thoughts.  Just the idea that I get to see this guy again makes me smile.

Again this is very early on and I am still holding a part of my wall up but boy is he making me wonder why I need the wall…my answer is the answer I live by “Always be prepared”…kind of like the Boy Scouts, and I do believe this can hold true for good and bad in life.

Well my birthday trip has fallen apart, mainly because of me.  I really wanted to go on the cruise or down to Little Gasparilla Island in Florida, but I just can’t justify the cost right now.  Instead I will still take the week of my birthday off of work and enjoy it and have a big night out here at home with all of my friends.  Either way I know I’m going to have a great time…just wish it was on the cruise ship!  LOL!

Ok so I am moderately hesitant to write about this just yet, however there is a part of me that just wants to scream it to the world.

I met someone and he is wonderful!  We’ve only been out a few times but I just can’t stop thinking how great those few dates have been and how much he makes me smile.  We have talked daily for the last couple of weeks and I just can’t stop smiling!  Wish me luck!

Well I still have to go for my follow up appointment, but I can say with certainty that I am 100% better! I followed all the doctors orders, finished out all of my meds and feel great!

Alright so back in July I started not feeling well…getting really tired, sore throat, lots of congestion (yeah I know hot right). Well after 2 weeks I finally went to the doctor. I couldn’t get in at my regular doc so I tried someone new who was horrible. He gave me meds for illnesses I didn’t even have. I never tried to get back into my regular doc as I started feeling better. Well most of August I’ve had a stuffed up nose and a slightly sore throat. I finally broke down and made a doctors appointment and went to Saturday morning.

Apparently I am really sick. The doctor said that he was surprised that I didn’t have a fever nor did I appear very ill just by looking at me. I guess my air way is very closed (not getting a lot of oxygen which is partially why I’ve been so tired) due to a major infection of my tonsils, basically sever tonsilitis. The doctor said that he couldn’t tell for sure because of other symptoms that I have but he worries that I may have a Tonsil Abscess, which I guess from what I can find online and the seriousness in his tone is not something to mess with. He has put me on 3 different medicines to try and get this under control but has said that if this doesn’t get better in the next 10 days that I may have to go to the hospital for IV antibiotics and that in the end I may have to have my tonsils removed. I guess this is a pretty serious infection and my neck and glands are extremely swollen. I also have a bad ear infection and sever sinus infectionto go along with all of this. He believes that this is basically the same infection that I had back in July that never got taken care of and has now just been getting worse and stronger since then.

This couldn’t have come at a worse time. I have so much going on in my life right now. I am basically going to have to wait this out and see what happens…those of you who know me know that I do not have a lot of patience for things like this, wish me luck! LOL!
