Christmas Presents

Christmas wrapping mess

I apologize for being negligent the last couple of days. I've been busy and running. I'm so tired I could just collapse. And I still have so much to do. My plans were to get bathrooms and kitchen cleaned, presents wrapped and then tomorrow all I would have to do is vacuum the living room, dust and cook.

That's a lot of money!!!!!

Today, I wrapped and I wrapped and I wrapped and I wrapped. I already had a few presents under the tree, but, I've finished all the wrapping and now it's all done. Plus I helped KayeLynn work on Brandon's present - which included a run to the store - AGAIN!!! I don't care if I see the inside of a store for months!!

Empty tape

I have decided that scotch tape makers have found a way to make a lot of money by making the rolls of tape shorter. I swear - I don't think I have ever seen this many empty scotch tape containers in my life. Plus I think I went through one or two before today. Good gravy!!

Presents are ready for tomorrow!!!

As for the last couple of days - - one was relaxation and the other was BUSY, BUSY.

Friday I left the house at 10:30, thinking I should go early to get my toes and nails done. Good thing I did - I was there for over two hours!!! Lots of people coming and going. Then I went and did some shopping. Then it was Bingo with Ted and KayeLynn. Not many people there, Ted won twice - which means I really won because he turned the money over to me!! :)

Yesterday was running from the minute I woke up to the minute I went to sleep. Ended with my sibling dinner at mom's house. She wore herself out trying to do for all of us. Poor little fart!! But, it was tasty delicious in true mama fashion!! YUMMMY!!

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...
