Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - #19

I was on the website Zulily.com yesterday.  I don't know if you have ever looked at it, but, it's really, really, really cool.  It's kind of like Etsy - a bunch of different little stores and boutiques go to this site and try and sell their wares at a discounted price.  I found a site with purses on it - and I bought one.  I hope it's as gorgeous when I get it as what I saw on the website.  Especially since it was claimed to be about $150 retail and I got it for a lot less than that.

But, while I am perusing this site and looking at a bunch of adorable things.  I found this site that had pajamas on it.  I was just looking - but, I found this set of PJs that I thought would be really adorable in San Diego when we go in a couple of months.  So I bring it up and look and think, "I should so buy these".  So I click on it, and they have my size available - yes, I'm an XL.  Chubby old lady.  I get pretty excited and I wonder how they size it.  Nothing like buying something and then it doesn't fit - not like there is a virtual fitting room.  I notice there is a size chart - so I click.

In what insane world is an 8-10 an extra large?

Sorry to shout it.  But how insane is that?  Why should any woman or girl feel like they are extra large if they are a size eight???  That is absolutely crazy to me!!!  They apparently don't carry my size, the old 20XL.


HMMMMMM

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...
