Literally. A lot of things happened in the past months that I know some of you may be wondering why I haven’t been updating my blog. One thing right after another happened and they were kind of stressful on my part and so thus the reason why I have been so quiet and aloof.
First, we moved to a new place. I thought it was only going to be easy but I was wrong. It takes a lot of work to move especially if one in your family is a pack rat (in our case it’s my husband). I have to deal with a lot of papers that he doesn’t like to throw or shred because he was afraid that one day we’ll be randomly audited by the IRS. I was like “hello, they’re more than 10 years old crap; they won’t be going after us for that!” But then, he still won and the files of paper stayed.
Second, our management changed at work. Our executive director just walked out on us one day and we were all left behind in a limbo. The corporate office took over for more than a month until they found someone to replace our old ED. Corporate bosses lay off several supervisory positions and I thought I will be one of them. Well, it didn’t happen because eventually I was announced the employee of the year (2007, it was announced late because of all the problems we had) and employee of the first quarter of 2008. Come on; give me a hand, people!J
Third, two of my nieces came to visit us along with 2 kiddos. It was fun and both I and my husband really did enjoy their company. Everyday we were doing some serious shopping here and there. I was able to drive in places where I didn’t usually go before because I just wasn’t feeling confident then. I just realized that when you have passengers with you, your confidence just soars to the highest level, haha!
Fourth, my husband finally underwent to a knee surgery just recently after postponing several schedules he had before. Man, it was the most stressful of all time for me. Just imagine having to juggle between job and looking after my patient. It wasn’t fun at all but we’re able to survive. My mother-in-law stayed with us for more than a week; bless her heart because she was really a big help to both of us. I got so spoiled; she did most of the house work and every time I arrive home from work, dinner was always ready! God knows how we both miss her after she finally realizes that she’s been spoiling both of us and went back home, haha! But kidding aside, she really did a lot here and we were both concern that she was doing too much she can handle. Anyway, thank God husbandry is now doing great after the surgery. He was a star patient! He literally followed the doctor’s advice and was very diligent on his physical therapy sessions. He worked really hard to be able to achieve such a successful turn-out on his surgery. His walking prior to the surgery was really bad because his knee has been bone on bone for years after he had a motorcycle accident in the early 80’s. It’s funny because he dreads being my passenger on the car before the surgery. Whenever we go out or go to places, he’s always the official driver no matter what. But after the surgery and with him being on medications and unable to drive; he didn’t have any choice but to be my passenger! He got used to it though, and felt confident enough to finally be on the passenger seat and let me do most of the driving, haha!
Fifth (and last I hope), I have been diagnosed recently with endometrial fibroids and polyps again. The fibroids and polyps are still very small and not harmful but they’re causing me to have longer periods than usual. I thought I was going to have a surgery but my OB Gyn suggested to try to have them dissolved with medication first since the biggest was only like 7mm. Then, if the problem still persists we need to do biopsy and probably decide on the next to follow. But I’m hoping that the medication that she gave me helps and I don’t have to undergo any surgery. Last thing I wanted to be in is being hospitalized because it’s never fun spending all your saved money. But if it’s really something that needs to be done, then, we don’t have any choice but to do it.
Okay, I think I’m already boring you guys. I will go now and make my papi’s sandwich for tomorrow (yes, he’s working thrice a week now!). It feels great to be back blogging again. Have a great week all!
