Hugs and kisses for Dejibo. ♥Our neighbors gave us (Granny and I) the nicest gifts today. Very very fine chocolates, bon bons, and coconut macaroons. I was really touched to receive such a gift. It's so odd to see our kindness repaid for once. We're very good to these people, he is handicapped and in a wheelchair, and we try to help him out the best we can. He gave me piece of mind, when I lived alone. I knew that he checked on Granny daily, and would alert anyone if something was up. His mother is good to us too, very kind to us both. I need to figure out the best way to thank them for such a lovely gift. I think a nice, hand written card will do, that's about the only thing that is within our means. That gift just made my day. Oh, and... Merry Christmas Everyone!

I cant stop sleeping. I have snoozed since being released. I have never been so tired in all my life. I sleep till 10 am and then have a nap at noon and back in bed by 4 and sleep till the next morning. The MD said he isnt surprised as my brain was dented during this last attack, but damn! I cant seem to wake up. Really pissing me off now. Decided to trade in my car and Frank's car to have one car in the house. I dont drive anymore anyway, so whats the point of having a car in the drive that no one uses. I cant see well enough to drive even if I wanted to, and If I wanted to I would just take the new one, but still this choice really pisses me off. I love driving! its a huge give up to do this. I hope everyone had a merry christmas. I slept thru half of it.

I am starting to feel better, but the blindness marches on, and the wobble walking is still here. Good lord, I look drunk.
Husbands aunt died yesterday. What a mess up of information. ONe called to say she was dead, so we posted it on FB and then the other side of the family exploded (bunch of tatooed rednecks who spend more time in jail than out) who were outraged that we posted such a sensitive topic on FB. So, apologies went out, then we UNfriended those nuts, and called to find out that auntie was still alive! they removed life support, and she hung on. We had so many reports of "shes dead" oh wait! nope, she still lives!" ugh! its so hard to be far away. She had a massive stroke, and it ripped open a blood vessel in her head. She was brain dead before she hit the ER door. It was a messed up day. So, now the funeral dance will begin with sides of the family gathering that love and hate each other. This should be fun.
I wanted to wish you all a HAppy New Year and I hope each of your years brings wonderful things your way.

I'm slowly starting to distance myself from my computer and the internet. Though it's not entirely successful, obviously, I have definitely cut back. I didn't like how I was on this thing for hours at a time and basically spent every waking moment on message boards, games, or wikipedia of all things. Plus with this supervisor role I took on last year changing into a third shift position soon (yay 7pm to 1am...) I will be even more scarce. Not to say I'm moving on and leaving the place behind, but as I'm sure everyone's noticed I just haven't been around as much, and that's slowly going to become even more scarce. I stop in when I can and I usually read the new posts each day but I won't be posting every day anymore. Same for Facebook.
I may be moving soon, if Ben can talk me into it. He offered me an office manager job, and didn't specify the exact pay but he hinted between $20-$25 an hour which is over twice as much as I make now. It's a big decision, but if he can help me find a place and help me transfer everything over, I'm definitely going to take it. I'm sick of this house and just can't stand being here anymore, so I have to get out. Maybe soon I'll be posting I'll be moving to South Carolina.

If you move to South Carolina, I DEMAND you come visit me. Or, I can come visit you. I found a nice new graphics card on NewEgg for $50, after mail in rebate. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102942I know that says $85, but it was on sale yesterday only. Saved $20, then it has the mail in rebate for $15. Comes with a crappy coupon that I have no intention on using, but it's a nice card. Should be a nice upgrade from my 4200. Got my headphones too, I love em. They're the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever had. Excellent sound quality too. Also drowns out Granny. Not much going on here, just the usual. My allergy infection appears to have come back though. I've been miserable all winter. Gonna try to call Dejibo today. She doesn't do e-mail and message boards anymore, so the only way I can contact her is via phone. I miss her. Also, new kitty pics! s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa323/Yvondith/kitties/

Joining Weight Watchers this weekend. My extraordinarily kind neighbor's mother is going to go with me, and pay for it. She has been sooo kind to me. This weight will come off, there is absolutely no way I'd let this woman down, she means too much to me. So HURRAY, I'm off to lose weight! Going to start up a blog too, to follow my journey in weight loss.
It will be so nice when "Fat Steph" will be a thing of the past.
