Day 28 - Something You Miss

You know I really don't miss a lot - things happen for a reason - some of them good some of them bad.  So there is no looking back.

So, if I was going to say there is one thing that I miss - I would have to say there are two.... I've told you I am fat - but, I miss those 50 pounds that I lost and kept off nine years ago.  I loved being thinner - what the hell happened that I gained it back.  Again, it goes back to things happen for a reason.  The reason being, I became lackadaisical and less conscious and concerned about what I ate.  I worked out three and four times a week and now I don't do that at all.  It's a frustrating feeling to lose weight and keep it off for two, almost three years and then one day you wake up and notice it's all come back.  I keep saying I want to lose it again, but, it's so hard to get back into that mode of doing that work all over again.  It's a very frustrating and vicious, vicious circle.

The other thing I miss - an awesome kitchen.  My condo had the most amazing kitchen.  I absolutely adored and loved my kitchen in my condo.  It had cupboards along two walls and drawers and drawers.  It had an island in the center, with huge cupboards and drawers.  The cupboards went all the way to the ceiling - I couldn't even reach the top shelf.  Not only that, there was a pantry, too.  I didn't use but about 3/4 of the cupboard space in my HUGE and AWESOME kitchen.  I now have this kitchen that seems so small and it only has four itty bitty drawers - it doesn't have enough room for stuff, in fact, I have to keep my crock pot, my roaster pan and a bunch of other stuff in the basement and just go get it when I need to use it.  But, again, things happen for a reason.  I lost my wonderful kitchen because I met the geekiest, smartest man in the world.  I ended up adoring him more than I adored my kitchen - because I sold my condo so we could buy a house together.  We decided in order for us to have a house that was "ours", we needed to sell "his" and "mine".  Though I miss my condo so very much, I adore my sweet hubby so very much more.  So, again, there is a reason - and it's a good one.

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...
