Day 18 - A Book You Could Read Over and Over Again and not Get Sick of.

There are very few books I have read more than once.  I could probably count them on one finger - maybe two.  Not only that, it has become more and more unlikely for me to read at all.  I used to love to read - and would do it pretty much every night and every day. When the kids were younger, we would go to the library and check out books pretty much every week.  Now, I don't know the last time I really read a book.  Very sad.  I even stopped my newspaper, because it would sit and sit and nothing would get read.

I used to love to go up to my bed and lay in it and read and read.  Now I go to bed when I am ready to go to sleep and I turn on the television and let it play til I fall asleep.  Ted comes to bed and turns off the television and goes to sleep.  Exciting, eh?

There is one book that I do love.  It's called Wildest Dreams.  It supposed to be a romance novel, but, I don't see it to be a romance novel.  It's about a man and a woman's trek across the country in a wagon train.  He is heading to Montana, she is heading to Denver.  They fall in love on the way and she leaves her family and goes with him.  The book chronicles their lives together and how they grow old together and the trials and tribulations they go through.  I think I've read the book two or three times.

Maybe one day I'll get back to reading.  Not sure when it will be.

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...

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...
