Going to the doctor tomorrow. I made the appointment over a month ago... um, a lot of new problems have started since then...
I need to tell her:
I want to go on Cymbalta.
I need a Z-Pak to clear up whatever respiratory junk I have going on.
I need to find out why I'm so damn tired.
I need to see how my Anemia is doing.
Sheesh.

So I basically redid my entire living room. THose of you on Facebook can see it. I am quite pleased with myself. and this new couch is the most comfortable thing ever! I have grown quite fond of this little corner where i can stretch out and just relax. That might be where I am right now!

So I've been fairly scarce these days and I figured I didn't want to give the reason why because I didn't have any answers. Bluntly put I was on cancer watch for about a month because I was at risk of esophageal cancer. I had been passing blood and having extreme pain in my stomach and abdomen, and when I went to get scoped, they found polyps and saw that I have a hiatal hernia and severe gerd. It's so bad the lining of my stomach looks like rotting wallpaper. This led to scarring of my esophagus, which could have led to Barrett's syndrome. If I had had that, that is basically a pre-cancer condition and I would've been scoped every 3 months and on all sorts of meds for the rest of my life. But, I didn't have it, and the polyps came back benign. So that was a rough few weeks. But we're not out of the medical woods yet. Mother's cancer may be back (still waiting on results) and my grandfather had a stroke over the weekend and his memory is pretty much shot, though he seems to be showing signs of (very slow) recovery. He'll never be 100% again though. Argh.

Going to be gone for about a day or two.
I am incredibly stressed out, to the point that I am completely enraged, infuriated and snapping at the slightest thing.
I seriously need to chill, meditate, and relax. No internet, no phone, etc until I calm down or I'm gonna end up in the hospital.
Sorry. Be back in a day or two.

I feel a little better but I'm still a little under pressure.
I realized why though, I'm extra sensitive right now because I'm starting a new medication, and it's messing with my brain chemicals.
Some... events... happened yesterday that sent me into enraged mode. Been panicky all day today.
Prob just gonna take it easy for a few days, mentally.

Are the boards working okay? It says Mas has been online all day, and no one else but him and I have been online, which is weird.

So found out yesterday that my position has, once again, been eliminated at work. They did offer me another position without a pay cut, but I would be completely changing my responsibilities and I would no longer be a supervisor, and I would be on a totally different team. And worse, the new guy who replaced me is a cocky cock. 23 year old twat who has no fucking clue what he's doing. I'M doing all the work and he gets all the credit, etc etc.
Well, the company offered me a severance package. And I took it. It's only 3 grand, but this makes me eligible for unemployment so I can still collect on that, I guess. Since my mother's cancer is back and my grandfather had a stroke and may be moving in with us, me being home is just the right decision.
This will cut into some of my lifestyle though since I won't have an income, but I think I can manage. Had to quit FFXI and WoW entirely since I can't justify $15 a month with no income to back that up.
But on the plus side, NO MORE BLACK FRIDAY AND CHRISTMAS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well now i feel like a dick for coming here to say what I was going to say Caller....
Since we started working with Coca-Cola, we have been told that due to the Nepotism rules, we could never get promoted out of our current roles. Three years later two spots just opened up. The director of the organization came to us this week and point blank told us (together might i add, which is so against HR) that she had enough. The talent pool was too weak to pull from and she needed us in leadership. So she went to the fucking head of Coca-Cola in North America (Our director is pretty damn high up in the company herself) and said give me the chance to promote at least one of them. So her boss went to HR and said make it happen or else. So now two positions have opened up this week, and we are allowed to apply for both of them. Since they are both leadership, but reporting to different chains there is no conflict and we can both be on the leadership team. It would be a tremendous pay increase, which, with a child on the way is going to be the best thing ever. I applied for a supervisor position and Bryce applied for a Mentor type position. His raise would be about 10k a year and mine 15-20K a year. I could not be happier!
Also, we are two classes down with seven left to go on the adoption stuff. It feels like it is really about to happen, so I am crazy excited!!

Nah congrats. Karma has a way of coming around, something will happen for me. In potentially good news, my mother's oncologist seems to think her cancer is curable. Not treatable, *curable.* Apparently, the cancer she's had for about two months is quite content to just chill in the area around her lungs and hasn't spread an inch. That's totally unheard of, but we're not complaining. So she starts aggressive chemo and radiation in two weeks that will last for eight weeks. If all goes according to plan, she will be cancer free by December, though she will be very weak for about two months. Weak is better than dead though, so we have to take what we can get.

Oh that's great news, really. I've been very worried that they were going to tell her that it was hopeless. I'm amazed.
As always, if there is anything at all that I can do, let me know and I'll be there for you and your family.

WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?!
They increased my medication to the max doses allowed per day. I feel much, much better. Much better. Panic attacks are way down, I haven't had one in a week now. I was having them 3 times a day. So yay for that.
