Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here:

Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!!

However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comments make me giggle, especially since the "touche" is always at Doug and his nonstop sarcasm! Amber and Jessica and their continual giggling and chatter are about the only sounds I have heard; I have absolutely loved listening to the two of you. Cliff and his DUN DUN DUN last night were fun and his wit is superb. Natalie, Cheryl, Angie, Marla, Leslie and Betsy - the seasoned veterans - it's nice to have a voice of reason at times; you have all been so sweet to me and I thank you so much for putting up with me and talking to me when I needed conversation. Corey, our talks have been kind of fun, I hope you get what you want in life.

I really have enjoyed my time on graveyards, especially my nights with Diane who has kepts me laughing and awake!! My visits from Amberly have been very much appreciated, too!!

    While reading through this blog post, my comment was originally going to be, "WHAT?! No mention of Moi?!?!?!?!" And then I read the last (aka most important) sentence and all was well in the world again. So, without further adieu (look at me with all the French words today!), here are my official comments:

    1. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    2. I think you're lame for leaving Graves too.
    3. If I'd known you hated quiet, I would've made lots and lots and lots of noise.
    4. If I'd known how much you loved me, I totally would've visited more.
    5. Until I read this blog post, I did not know that the half-assed bubble blowing was your going away celebration.
    6. If I had known, I would've appreciated them more.
    7. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    8. I plan on hunting down your cell # so I can text you in the middle of the night, just cuz.
    9. You didn't experience me in the same way Tryn and Elaine got to on Graves and that is sad for you.
    10. When are you coming back?

    Emily, my love, my dear, my sweet - - -

    Afternoon shift is my very favorite shift to work. However, I don't have a choice of afternoon shift, I have the choice of day or night. Luckily, I get to work with you, on afternoon shift, no matter if I'm days or nights!! So, you are the icing on the cake!!

CoCo's Journey - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
