Thank God that's over.

I just had another really serious gall stone attack. it lasted about three days and i actually ended up in hospital over night so they could control the pain. The funny thing is, it wasn't, by far, the worst attack i've had. i've had a couple that were far worse and lasted far longer. I'm not sure what happened... almost seems like my tolerance and patience for the thing has gone down. I'm thinking that not having 500-600 hours of sick leave credits likely made the difference... too bad those don't come with you job to job. I've only been in this job for two months now, so being out with this has cost me all my sick leave, and most of my overtime and vacation leave. Thank God our Christmas holidays don't come out of our vacation leave- they close the office down and we all get automatic paid holidays. Yay! now that's a perk!

I'm feeling better today, good in fact, and i"m back at work. yay! It feels great to be doing paperwork. Who would've thought? hmph.

The one thing that has come from allthis, is that i'll be having surgery on Nov 24th... thank God for short term disability, so i will still have income... but it means i"ll only have like 3 weeks of work left this year.... hmmm... I wonder how restful it will be? I hear people can recoup pretty quick from this when their gall bladders aren't infected... and mine's not, yay! my white blood count was normal, yay!!!

I had been fighting having this surgery, resisting it tooth and nail... but God works in mysterious ways, and He works all things out for his Glory in the end...

God bless you all.

Well, the house is actually unpacked enough that it's starting to feel like home. I had friends over after church yesterday, and we brought up my kitchen table, chairs, dresser, living room chair, and more boxes of Kitchen stuff. I didn't get to loading my dresser or anything, but we did have lunch at the table- Yay! my first guests over for a meal in my new house! It's sooo cool.

I've found it quite an accomplishment getting things done. My kitchen is actually starting to come together. This morning before work, I found the box with my small appliances, so that will be good. Gotta go, update you more later.

Well, I signed the paper work on the first, and took possession that date. Not the way I'd recommend, but I got in without being homeless! Yay!

So, I now have the computer set up, and am slowly bringing stuff up from the basement. One step at a time, but the house is coming. I can cook, and wash and do laundry, and now I can even sit at table. I had my first company over for lunch today, and they helped me bring a few things up- the kitchen table, a dresser and a few boxes. So, things are coming good. Not bad for a Sunday.

Well, God bless you all, thanks, and take care out there.

Oh am I releived guys!

Since I got my new job, I"ve been looking for a place to live. And between the housing shortage locally and the economy the way it is, finding anywhere I could afford to live- rent or buy!- was very challenging. There only two houses in my price range for sale in the community- and moving out of town and commuting an hour everyday wasn't an option I could  afford either. (I know, I'm spoiled compared to some city dwellers!)

Anyways, I'm all excited because my mortgage was finially approved last night. It took about 2-3 weeks- where most take about 3-4 days! there was just delay after delay, all things that were kinda out of my hands. So, please, rejoice with me-= I won't be homeless next week!

Yay!!!!
