Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - - - #27

This has been kind of a rough weekend.  I've not felt well.  Halloween party on Saturday was fun, but, that was when I started to not feel great.  While I was gone a couple of weeks ago, when I left, KayeLynn had a horrible virus that made it so she had to quit her first job and is now relying on her second job.  By the end of the week, Ted had it.  It reacted differently on both of them - but, now I've got it.  I'm going to say again, because this feels just like the same thing I had twice back in July.

Yesterday, Ted wanted to go to Idaho to see his daughter - because we didn't know when we could get back there.  She lives in Glenn's Ferry with her boyfriend and two boys.  She moved there shortly after the newest kiddo, Cash William, was born back in April.  Glenn's Ferry is one of those little towns that you forget exist.  There are no McDonalds.  There are no Subways.  There is literally no fast food in the area.  They have a small community swimming pool (that we went to last time we were there), but most people would rather go swim for free at the swimming hole or in the river.  You see, the Snake River is their backyard.  It literally winds it's way behind the house and down the hill from the house they live in.  It's absolutely beautiful.  It's a four hour drive both ways - and yesterday because of a diversion to Wells, Nevada to pick up something Ted forgot last week while there, it was over five coming back.

Adam, Dee's boyfriend, has a nephew.  Not really sure what his status is, but, he's there quite a bit.  He and Gabriel, my grandson, were born one month apart, so they are extremely close.  When we were leaving to go have lunch, Mason wasn't supposed to go.  But, Ted and I talked and Mason came along.

When we got to the restaurant, Mason was extremely enamored with me.  He wanted to sit by me.  He wanted to be next to me.  He wanted to chat with me.  This was one of our conversations:

Me - as Mason raised my arm, pulled himself up close and tight and hugged into me:  "Mason are you starved for affection or something?"
Mason:  "Nope, I'm full of affection".

Guess it's all a matter of perspective.

HMMMMMMMMM......

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...
