So...since I hadn't been on since Oct. I thought I'd drop by and update everyone as to whats been going on in my life. I still work at that orange place..(woohoo...) and am still an expeditor. Which is hell on wheels, but it beats the heck out of being on the floor and working crazy hours.
In November our family experienced a tremendous scare when my cousin Matthew had a terrible accident at his job (he just turned 20, and has been working as tree trimmer since he got out of school). One of the guide wires broke when one of the guys was cutting a limb...limb landed on powerline, and broke the powerline, powerline landed on Matthews back. Matthew spent much of late November, and about 3 weeks of december in a medically induced coma. Badly burnt on his back, rear, and hip. He was fully conscious during the accident, was able to tell the medics his mothers full name and phone number, and that she was his mother. And now fully remembers the accident. He recently finished skin grafting (and 98% of them have taken well), He's now fully conscious and has been removed from the vent. He got to eat his first big mac a few weeks ago...and just in the last two weeks got to see his little sisters for the first time in about a month or so. He's healing well physically. Mentally...he's a strong kid, but still has bad days like all of us. SO in that period of time...I was babysitting his little sisters just about every weekend. Explaining some of my abscence.
Other than that...It's been more of the same. Working my butt off relentlessly. OH and I've started going back to the gym...Thus far I've lost about 3/4 of an inch...Which excites me. I don't really have a GOAL necessarily...I just want to be healthy. I don't mind being curvey...Women are SUPPOSED to be that way...I just don't want to be tired all the time.lol!
Anyhow...how is everyone?
