First, HOLY CRAP! It's already December, I just can't believe it! This year went by so fast. This year has been crazy! Beginning of the year Donna's mom had a brain aneurysm, and most of our time was spent at the hospital taking care of her. It's amazing to think that the day it happened the ER docs had said that she probably wasn't going to make it, and to call the family to say their goodbye's. Well grandma is stubborn and a fighter. She exceeded their expectations and then some. For awhile there it was up and down...she'd get on the road to recovery and then she'd have another brain bleed. She endured a horrible long term acute care facility, with a staff that was not very attentive to her or her needs. She was then taken back to St. Luke's where it had all started. She went through all her PT and then went home. After being home for a week or so she had another bleed. During her last bout of PT she fell and broke her hip, under the care of the hospital. She had her hip replaced and then went through even more PT. Today she is now home, living with her daughter Lisa and her daughter in law Heather. Lisa quit her job so that she could care for grandma 24/7. Every once and awhile grandma would fall and have a short stay/visit at the hospital, but she's still doing pretty well.
Also in the beginning of the year, I had contact with my ex Chad (whom I've talked about in prior blogs). I also got promoted at work as the boarding supervisor, working full time. I also got a new edition to my family this year, Ollie. Ollie has been a joy to my life, he was just what I needed! I don't talk to Chad, but a few random times. He wanted to be friends, but I just can't do it. I want him in my life, but I think it might be harder to have him in my life as just a friend then to not have him in my life at all. I miss him more than you know. He was definitely a best friend of mine. I could tell him anything without him passing judgement. He was always a comfort to me, and I miss that dearly. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. Every night he plays a role in my dreams. Some mornings I wake up angry because I had dreamt of him all night :( He did some horrible things that I will never forget about, however I have forgiven him. Forgiveness is key! I was always taught to keep my hopes, dreams, and wishes alive so I haven't given up hope in us being together again SOMEDAY...not necessarily tomorrow, next week, or next month...but SOMEDAY! Maybe by that time, he'll have forgiven himself for all the bad he did. He's really hard on himself, and always says he's not good enough...but really he is. I've never stopped believing in him, and I never will. Also this year I have gained some weight, which irritates me everyday but I am definitely working on losing it. I also bought a new truck this year, and traded in my car. Then just recently Megan passed away, as well as Uncle Vince. It's crazy to look back and see what all happened throughout the year. I'm going to start thinking about my new year resolutions....when I decide on them I will share them.
I worked all day today and then came home and ate dinner. Jordan said something funny tonight...I was ripping coupons out for KFC and Donna says to me, "why don't you just use scissors?" and I said I didn't really feel like getting up to get them, and then Jo says, "why didn't you ask your 8 yr old slave sister?" it was really funny! I guess we always are asking her to get this and that for us, so now she thinks she's a slave!
Tomorrow I have to take my car for emissions and renew my plates...it was due yesterday but I am going in the morning to do that. Hopefully I don't get pulled over before then. I forgot to mention in Tuesdays post that I had another visit from my special friend (I think).
Until tomorrow......goodnight!
