I dont want this feeling to end.

Well we are gearing up for the parents’ depature and the weekend get-away to the cabin. I thought I would leave you with a picture of the cutest dog in the world.

Let’s hope that my spell checker gets up and running soon!

I just wanted to wish whoever is still reading this little site a Happy Holiday season. I have been MIA for a few months now. It have been painfully busy here, what with working 10 -12 hours days and then trying to write my dissertation.

Here are some updates on the home front, these are not in order of importance:
1. I am still not finished with my dissertation. I am getting very close and hope to finish it sometime in the beginning of the new year.

2. I got wonderful loot for Christmas this year, including a wine refrigerator, some aromatherapy pillows, books, a beautiful serving platter, and a digital camera. And you know what that means, the return of photos to the blog!

3. I still haven’t heard about the job, but I had a dream that I didn’t get it. I am fine with that and am gearing up for other application processes.

4. We are in the process of trying to rescue a pug, but it is very slow-going. I am now fine with that as my parents came out for Christmas along with their pug and my grandma.

5. My parents are at the house. And it has been crowded and good. We have dome some tourist-y things in the area and today we are heading to the Winchester Mystery House.

I promise to post my New Year resolutions around New Year’s, but I will give you one sneak peak. I am resolving to blog more often. Even if I think that it is dribble. But I also think that I am going to have to revamp my blog to make it more accessible for me.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

This is when I start to foul things up. I let down my wall and now for some reason – which I can’t figure out – my wall is back up. I wish it wasn’t. I wish I knew how to tear it back down – but I don’t know how. I am overly anxious and stressed out over nothing. I just need to take a deep breath, step back, and focus.

When doctors start talking about iv’s and morphine – I think that’s when I start to panic. I did not think my infection was this bad. My doctor is not entirely convinced that my antibiotic is working. So this evening I spent another night peeing into a cup, giving blood, and wondering if my kidney will be ok. One bonus is that my NorCal doctor gave me vicadin. I’m a little aprehensive about taking it, but I know it will help with the pain. I talked to my boss tonight – I am going to work from home tomorrow. Hopefully the uncomfortable constant pain in my back with cease tomorrow. We’ll see.

On another note – my boyfriend is amazing. He has been really supportive of this whole thing. He is just wonderful – especially at taking care of me.

So last night I flew into Southern California. I am staying with my cousin. The plan was to have a nice dinner and catch up. The actual events that took place were way less pleasant.

I ended up at the urgent care clinic in the hospital. I have a severe kidney infection. Treatment you ask – two shots in the ass. One for the antibiotic which hurt so much I almost threw up and another one for the pain. Which one do you think they gave me first? You betcha…the antibiotic of course.
