Current Mood: Esctatic & Happy

WOW!! Okay a lot has been going on since I last left you lovelies.  Let’s start off with Chris, he’s doing fine, still having issues with that blasted ankle and dealing with workman’s comp (UGH these people are getting on my nerves!!).  I’ve just gotten over the flu, so I’m also doing well.  Now for the news on my dad, he had a spot on his liver that they wanted to do a biopsy on.  News wasn’t very good, as the spot is cancer, BUUUUT dad is undergoing Chemo, and not as much or as often as he was with the Lung Cancer; and he’s doing well, so keep those good vibes, thoughts, and prayers coming his way.

Okay now on to other news…  My small family is growing (NO I’m not pregnant LMAO), Chris and I are the proud parents of not just one but TWO kitties!!  I had NO plans whatsoever of having a second cat, Kiyoshi was enough by himself; but the story of how we aquired Misaki (mee sah kee), is actually a weird yet beautiful story (hence her name in Japanes it means Beautiful Blossom).  I’m not in the habit of feeding stray cats, I stopped that after a momma cat took residence under our back steps, but this little one came to our door as though THIS was her home.  She came twice, and the second time I was trying my best to talk myself out of taking her in, when she left I talked to Chris on what to do about her (his response was basically “I guess you can have her” - meaning yes take her in).  So, I thought well, if she comes back up to my door for a third time I’ll adopt her - a day went by didn’t see her, then last night a little after 8pm, guess who was at the door wanting in?  Yep, she was sitting there, so I brought her in.  She looks like hell warmed over, and Kiyoshi has accepted her VERY much (he had done that the first time she came to the door), although he did have to tell her who was boss lol.  Today, I got her an appointment to see the Vet, she’s healthy minus an eye infection that she is taking antibiotics and eye drops for, they guess her age to be about 4 months, although she’s VERY small, her color is white and orange and it seems she might have some Siamese in her just looking at her face.  She has to go back for shots and to be fixed, so wish us luck on that one lol.  She seems to love her new home, purrs all the time, but is still a little shy around Chris and myself, but is coming around :D  So, yeah NO MORE CATS!!  I’m done LMAO!!

In other news, some of my friends know….I’m the owner of a new Nintendo DS Lite (and let me tell ya I LOVE IT!!).  Game Stop was having (don’t know if they still are) a GREAT deal on a DS and I couldn’t pass it up!!  So, now my newest game addiction is Final Fantsy 3 (and I’m kicking butt let me tell ya).

Okay, yeah I think I’m done.  I’ll upload pictures of Kiyoshi and Misaki as soon as I can (so look out!).

Until next time…

Blessed Be!!

Damn! It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted in my blog, I need to catch up LOL. Okay last I left you all, I needed work on my teeth (well that hasn’t changed I still do, but hopefully soon now). Chris is still having issues with his ankle 2 months after the injury, HOPEFULLY that too will be taken care of soon -sigh- seems like it’s taking forever. Kiyoshi cat, is doing wonderfully, he’s had his shots and has been fixed, so that’s taken care of, other than having to go back for his booster shots, then he’s done for the year! So, basically my small family is doing fine, minus the few issues here and there, but as I said hopefully soon all of those will be taken care of.

Okay, now for some GOOD NEWS!! I just got off the phone with my dad, and today he had to go to have his test results read to him. As some of you may remember my dad was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lung Cancer back in Feb. of this year (if you didn’t know you do now). At which my dad started taking Chemo and Radiation treatments - well, today he was told he’s CANCER FREE!! There are a couple of spots that are VERY small, but they want to check them JUST to be on the safe side - but for the most part, my dad has been cleared (I’m sure my family and friends are excited to hear about this!)

Personally, for me and myself, for the past couple of months I’ve been feeling drained, not really wanting to do anything. But recently things have been falling into place for me and I’ve gotten back into my Wiccan Studies again, I’ve decided to start taking a class with a couple of WONDERFUL ladies that I love dearly. My teacher/mentor is probably going to drop me in October, which is okay, because spiritually my journey is taking a turn, as I’m Solitary and Eclectic, and I won’t have to submit to just one side of the Wiccan belief (or any belief for that matter). I’m actually very happy with my decision, and it feels right NOT to mention I’ve picked my knitting back up - now THAT in itself has been a wonderful feat Although, creativity has hit me through Knitting, I can’t seem to get myself motivated enough to do any graphics or web design, unless it’s minor things to change something here or something there. I think part of that is due to A LOT of drama that has been going on in the Graphics Community (and no I will not go into details), that I have actually just lost interest, which is sad, as it was something that I LOVED doing. I may eventually pick things back up, but currently I’m just not sure.

Okay I think you all have been filled in on what’s going on in our lives, and with that I’ll leave you. I will try to post more in my blog(s) though

So, until next time….

Blessed Be!!

Current Mood: Angry & Sickly

Well, as some of you may remember I’ve been sick with my teeth, with over whelming pain.  I had went to see my dentist, who then referred me to an oral surgeon.  I saw him, even had a date set up to have my surgery, but thanks to CareCredit, we were denied (why? we don’t know wont’ know for 7 - 10 business days - go fuckin figure!), and now I can’t have the surgery - even though I need it VERY badly.  Our insurance only covers a little bit, and our bill after insurance kicks in will be over $4000 - and that has to be paid completely out of pocket cash upfront!  So, unless we win the lottery this weekend, or by some HUGE miracle, the surgery is officially canceled and I’m just going to have to deal with this, until I can figure something else out.

I admit I was REALLY upset about all of this at first, and now I’m just pissed off!  What’s the freaking point in having dental insurance or any kind of insurance if you can’t get what you need to have done…..DONE?!?!?!?!?????  You pay for this out of your money, why can’t you get things done?  Makes NO sense what-s0-ever!!  It’s flat out bullshit!  Hard working people are NOT made out of money, and yet there’s really no place to help, and then you’re just stuck.  How would you like to go to the doctor, find out you have appendicitis and they tell you it has to be removed, but you can’t because you have to pay for EVERYTHING up front in cash?  You’d die!  See?  It makes NO sense!!

Yeah, I’m on a tangent, I’ve every right to be!  I’m tired of dealing with the pain, not being able to eat like a normal person.  My advice to ANYONE, is to make sure that when you’re getting your health and dental insurance that they cover plenty or you’ll be up the creek without a paddle.

With that said I’m going to end this, before I burst back into tears and just even more upset than what I am now.

So, until next time….

Blessed Be!!

Current Mood: Confused & Sickly

Yes, I know another update…bleh!  But figured someone might actually read these things.  I went to the dentist, and to get straight to the point, I’m going to have some teeth removed; apparently that’s what’s causing me pain - who knew right?  Yeah I know I went sarcastic but I had that feeling for awhile now that my teeth were causing some issues.  I go to see an oral surgeon next Tuesday, for one to see what he can do and two to see if we can afford this mess right now.  I’m currently on an antibiotic, a mouthwash, and some REALLY good pain meds - that just knock me out.  Last night was the BEST nights sleep I’ve had in a few weeks now.  Good news is, my gums are VERY healthy, it’s just my teeth aren’t so healthy - the enamel is basically non-existent anymore, and that’s why I’ve been hurting and having issues with them breaking.  What can I say?  It runs in the family, just gotta live with it and deal with it.  But I know that once I get all of this taken care of, I’ll feel MUCH better.

In other life news, Chris has to go back to the doctor Monday, to see if he will be getting off light duty.  I’m hoping that they won’t take him off that too soon, as I want that ankle completely healed!  I don’t want him going back to work and hurting it all over again, and we end right back up in this mess or worse.  He’s still having issues with the ankle, but we’ll know more Monday what they will do.

As for my dad, he seems to be doing pretty good.  This week is his last week for treatments for awhile, at least until they do tests to see what the cancer is doing.  I spent Saturday with him and my mom; for my dad’s family reunion, and dad was joking, laughing, and having a good time (minus the heat).  Granted he was pretty tired when we came home, but he did stay up all night the night before cooking BBQ, and that Thursday he had his chemo treatment, so he was pretty tired.  My mom seems to be doing wonderfully, although blood pressure seems to be a bit of an issue, so she’s going to start really watching that closely more.  Although it could be stress causing her blood pressure to be a little on the high side, but other than that she seems to be okay - I should know I talk to her everyday LOL.

Kiyoshi, our darling furbaby is doing well, although he’s just still a kitten and LOVES to play.  It’s a little hard to believe that we’ve had him for a little over a week, seems like we’ve had him longer than that.  But bringing up Kiyoshi, has reminded me of something that happened the other night.  I had went to bed, and no I wasn’t on anything and I wasn’t asleep, but I thought I had felt him jump on the bed and walk around at my feet, and just lay down.  I thought okay it’s just Kiyoshi, then I felt what I thought was him get up and walk to the middle of the bed and just sit there.  So, I feel for him, no Kiyoshi, I turn on the light, and Kiyoshi wasn’t even in the room (I’d of heard him had he jumped off the bed); so I go to look for him, and he’s sound asleep on the couch.  It was weird, scary, but cool all at the sametime!!  So, now I’m wondering which cat was it?  Precious?  or Simba? - although I’m pretty sure it was probably Precious, as I’m certian that Kiyoshi is Simba - that one I can state because of the things that Kiyoshi does Simba did too.  NOT to mention the look in Kiyoshi’s eyes are the same as Simba’s.  So, maybe Precious came in for a visit, and Simba just wasn’t ready to leave me just yet, and has come back through Kiyoshi.  All I do know is that the Universe is filled with a lot of unanswered questions and many MANY mysteries - so anything to me is possible!

Okay that’s all for now, so until next time…

Blessed Be!

I won’t make this too long, just to give you all an update on my hubby.  He did go to the doctor Tuesday, and turns out his ankle is sprung; but by the time he left the doctor’s office, the doctor was pissed.  Apparently the ER, should have put hubby in an AirCast, instead of an Ace Bandage, AND they should have given him crutches -rolls eyes-.  NOT to mention they gave hubby some meds that he did NOT need to be taking.  So, for those of you in Southeast Missouri - DO NOT EVER go to Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston, MO!!!  Just go to Cape, you’re better off, and you don’t die over a papercut!  Seriously!  I’ve heard it for awhile, but at the sametime, when they were dealing with my dad for pneumonia, they did everything by the book - but yeah, STAY AWAY from them, just go to Cape ;)  My hubby is going to be fine though, and goes back to see the doctor on the 16th of this month, to check his progress.

In other news about me.  Kiyoshi is doing great!  He’s a mess though, and keeps us in stitches (sometimes it feels like literally LOL).  But he’s great, lots of fun, and I’ve started calming back down again, like when I had Simba.  I have also called the dentist, and will be going to see him Monday morning; hopefully we can get something done, or I’ll go crazy with pain.

Okay, I do believe that’s all I have for now.  So, until next time….

Blessed Be!!
