Yay

Well today has been over the moon amazing! I just woke up in a great mood and life was shining on me. I worked out again for the third day in a row. That is a huge + lol and then school went well too. While heading to lunch I got a phone call asking if I wanted to do lunch with Grandma and April so I did. We sat and chatted and chatted. I had so much fun just catching up that I didn't want it to end, but I knew that I needed to get back and go to biology class. While on lunch I received an email that stated I might start getting my time loss payments again. Whoop Whoop!!!! This is some of the best news ever! I can now start to pay off long standing debt and be human again. This is what I have been waiting for for so very long. I knew this was going to be mine year, but I had no idea it was going to start off this great. Thank you Lord!

Post New Years

I know that everyone is just dying to know how my visit with my mom and grandparents went and I am ready to tell you. Jake and I rolled into Anaconda Mt around 3 pm their time and checked into the motel first and for most. Met my mom and Rob for a quick drink before dinner at the house. It was a very beautiful drive and the roads were great. I guess we got lucky with that because both long drives were awesome. I had so much fun hanging out with my family and having all the one on one with Jake that coming back kinda just sucked. That is the truth of it too. After a crying fit and some deep heart speaking and I ended up back in Kittitas on New Years Eve and not in a very good mood. Shortly after I cooled off and was getting ready to head home to bed, Jake showed up and made things a shit ton better. Today was my first day back at YVCC and my fourth quarter. I thought I had all the books that I would need, but I was wrong. Tomorrow I will have to go pick up one more book for Biology and different lab pages. For some reason the lab pages that came with my worksheet packet was the wrong ones. Damn it all to heck, but such is life and I am going to make this quarter a smooth as I possible can. That is my hopes anyways.

After Christmas

Well I made it thru the hussle and the bussle of bad drivers and the stores being over packed. Today is my eldest nephews 20th birthday. I can't believe how fast life can move around you if you sit back too long. I am currently waiting for my fourth quarter to start at YVCC and have to say that I made it with 2 B's and a B+ for the last quarter. I am happy about it and not happy. I was hoping for better but the classes are getting harder and harder. I know this is how life is and I will push thru and be all that I can be lol. The snow is slowly falling outside the front window and my Freedom is sleeping in and I am pretty happy. Right now I know that I am on the right path and no one can take that away from me. I had two very nice Christmas dinners and the best family a girl could wish for. Now to get m trip to Montana figured out and I will end this year on a higher note then expected. Mom keeps telling me that I don't need to drive to see her in this weather, but I told my self I was going to try and make it back there more and more, and By goly I am going to do it. So here is to the new year and all the great things it will bring us!

Registration

Well I finally got to register for my Winter classes. I have to say that this is not the schedule that I wanted but I will deal with the changes with a smile on my face. Like my Grandma always is saying..."Things happen for a reason!" Yes, Yes, Yes I get it. I figure I am not healthy enough (shoulder and arm wise) to take ASL this quarter so instead I am taking Psyc 100 and IT 100. April informed me that I should do great in these classes and that makes me feel better because she has taken a couple of these courses already. Oh I am also in the Biology class that is a prerequisite that I need. Jake and I got to spend way too much time together this Thanksgiving week because he ended up rained out. LOL it was fun and we got to hang out with many of our favorite peep, but three days and three movies was a little too much for me. I got our Christmas cards done and a few of them delivered. I feel so great that my last Chemistry test wasn't as hard as I had been fearing and I am now sitting at a B in that class. YAY. I have been so worried that I wouldn't pass Chemistry that my brain has been on fire.

Thanksgiving

So I am at my house (well Buffalo's) and I am finishing up all my work for next week and hello, I honestly can not believe how fast this year has flown. I have a Chemistry Exam on Monday and an Essay for English due on Tuesday and then I am off for 5 days. I am super lucky to get to spent those days off with Jake. This time around has been so much better than I could imagine. I hope to maybe hit a single store for Black Friday, but not sure if I will be standing out there all by myself or not lol. I am very thankful for my family and friends. There are days when feel like giving up and I happen to hear from one of them and I am instantly better. not sure if I would ever have made it this far without them. I ordered Christmas cards and can not wait for them to get here!!! lol they are pretty darn cute if I do say so myself :-) Well now for the new scary part of life. I have to see a shrink to be released for my surgery before I can be approved. I know this is a good thing and I have to do this, but the timing is not very good. I am worried I will miss a final the day this shrink visit is scheduled. We will have fingers crossed and hope all works out for a reason.

I looked into my claim and all seemed to be at a stale mate. Later on tonight I decided to check it again, but this time there is something different. I call was placed to get me approved to go see the surgeon, not sure if I have been approved yet but at least they are looking into it. I am so very nervous about this new part of my life. I fear the unknown, but also know that it all happens for a reason. Well so Grandma likes to remind me! :-) I know deep down that all thing will be okay, but a surgery is never an easy choice. I don't want to be full of sadness, but a ray of hope to others that feel like their lives are not going at the right pace. Things will change as long as you keep your chin held high and a prayer in your soul. This is my motto and I do aim for it every day. I will admit that there are still days when all I want to do is break down into a heaping pile of angry tears. I am so very lucky to have the friends and family that I use to think were cures, without them I would not have made it this far or felt this good about the choices I have been making.

Surgery

Well after a long day in the car with Grandma we have a few answers and many more questions. My Dr, Dr French, says that more physical therapy isn't going to do a "damn bit of good!" After all I have had a "shit ton of physical therapy" and my problem still prosiest. So a federal was sent on to a surgeon in Seattle. Now I get to wait for L&I to either accept this or deny it. The waiting game is the worse part. Now I will have to postpone my major until next year because with me missing school for surgery there is no way I will have my biology classes done in time. Like my Grandma tells me, everything happens for a reason and maybe I can double major while I'm killing Time lol. Here's to hoping I'm on the right track!
