OMG she's baaackkk.....

Seems like every time I come back I end up posting one or two entries and then poof I disappear again. I always say I am going to do better and I keep letting everyone down. Geez I'm just horrible. :) 

Moving on to recent events in my life, I didn't get that job I wanted. Sorry thing about it was I was basically told I had it and then bam like a magician pulling the table cloth out from under fine china it was ripped away. But like a crappy magician that same china didn't land back where it should have it all went crashing down and I did get a little emotional. I was really excited for a new adventure and had been thinking about the changes in my near future and then ohh nevermind stick to your old boring self. I guess I should say this, I am thankful and happy to have a job. I know I complain too much I am trying to work on that because I have it better than some people.

Speaking of that why are people so good at complaining? Some people that seems to be their forte. All they know how to do is complain. We all do it, I realize that, but some people just do it too much. Some people may actually think I do it too much but those people must not be friends with some of the people I am friends with on Facebook lol. I try to keep it to a minimum. Others should follow suit.

Take the recent horrible hurricane that is still effecting the North East. Some are without homes, power, food and we are sitting here talking about how we don't like what so-and-so said about the election. Really? We should all be coming together and praying for those that are going through what this town went through just a year and a half ago. We know how it feels to be down and we know how it feels to feel like the rest of the world could care less. Lets not be that way. I care. Do you?

By the way I have ADD so I don't stick to one subject long. This is why I can't make myself read a book. Sometimes its hard for me to sit through a movie. I couldn't even tell you when the last time I went to the movies was.

Moving on, how about that Alabama football team. I mean they are looking better than I have seen them look for a while. I just hope it stays that way especially this week with LSU. Maybe that will be my early birthday present (I think I asked for that one last year too...)

Ohh yeah btw my birthday is next week! I will be the big 27. Yeah that doesn't even seem right. Where did the time go? I can't be 27. I guess I will be and there's no turning back. 

Well I will end this with a favorite quote of mine.

"Ma'am, I don't know what else you want me to say to them. And I'm also gonna need to know where your commode's at." 

Points for anyone who knows where it comes from :)

Ohh and heres a cool video of Ryken :) With that aim he is working on QB status (at Alabama of course!)

ROLL TIDE!!

A heart like mine.....

Soooo here I am and yes I know it's been a while but the wait is over! Not sure what the wait is for but if it's for me to update my blog then yes its indeed over.

So I am guessing you read the title of this post and said that she's probably going to post something sappy about love and blah blah blah. Negative, its not the case at all! Here's the scoop on what has been going on since last time I blogged....

I had a minor procedure done on a Friday a few weeks ago. Everything went fine and I went home a little out of it as expected. I slept for a long time and all was well. Until the next day! I woke up and felt horrible and couldn't catch my breath and I was freezing (anyone who knows me know thats a sign something is wrong) I called my mom and she came over. By the time she got there I had pants and long sleeves on! We asked my sister (shes our family nurse) if she thought it could be related to having the anesthesia the day before and she said she didn't think so and for me to go to Med Center to get checked out. My mom took me down there and at that point I could hardly walk I was so weak and out of breath. I made it into a room (luckily it didn't take long bc it wasn't too crowded!) and they checked my vitals and blood pressure was way up and oxygen levels way down. They took me to the back and hooked me up to an IV and oxygen tank and said that they were calling an ambulance (they couldn't send me in our car because I was on the oxygen) So I got to ride in an ambulance for the first time which isn't fun at all. Luckily the sirens weren't on! 

We got to DCH and they checked me in the ER and waited in a room behind a curtain. I asked if they would let my mom come back. They finally brought her back along with my sister. I got to stay there for about 3 hours all while listening to the lady next to us complain about dumb stuff like needing more pillows and what not (all while im over here with not a single pillow or blanket!) Me and my sister were laughing saying look lady this aint the Holiday Inn. Anyways they finally did all the tests they needed to do and stuck at least 3 or 4 needles in me and said they were going to admit me because I had pneumonia (don't you hate that p? I do!). Well alright thats what I figured. Now lets get this show on the road because I haven't eaten ALL DAY! So I finally get to a room and go figure the cafeteria is now closed......so I guess they just expect me to starve. Not quite! My sister brought me Chik-fil-a :) so as I was eating they came in and said they are sending you to a different room. I'm thinking ummmm why? I am eating here can't ya see lol So they ended up moving me to ICU which was kind of strange. They just wanted to monitor me and make sure my oxygen didn't drop too low. That bed wasn't too bad and I had about 4 pillows lol. My sis stayed with me that night. 

Next day they said they were moving me again back to a regular room so I moved to the 5th floor. I got to hang out there for the next 3 days unfortunately. Hospitals are quite boring and only have so many channels. And I was once again stuck with just one pillow so it was hard to sleep and as everyone knows its hard to sleep when they keep waking you up. Finally got to go home on Tuesday afternoon! My bed never felt so good! 

During one of the tests they did while I was in the hospital a heart doctor saw a small hole on my heart which has probably been there all my life but I find it strange that noone has seen this thing before! I had to go to the heart doctor last week and today I am wearing a heart monitor for 24 hours just to see what it does during a normal day and tomorrow I am having a TEE which is where they will stick a tube down my throat and take pictures of my heart so they can see the hole and its size and location. I am hoping all will be well and all this gets over with soon! I really am getting tired of having to take off work and go to doctors! 

On a brighter note, I did apply for the job as dispatcher and I have taken the civil service test and passed it. I have interviewed with the board and I have taken a lie detector test. Now I wait to see whats next. Hope I don't have to walk on hot coals or jump through rings of fire or anything like that lol. I did hear that they have contacted my references so thats a good sign :) 

 I am sorry this post ended up being so long and if you didn't read it I totally understand!
