Day 2 - Where You'd Like to be in Ten Years

HOLY CRAP - people who made this challenge, do you know I am pretty much elderly?? I will be lucky to be unburied (also known as - NOT DEAD)!!! Just kidding - my number one thing of my list of where I'd like to be is definitely alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile. And,, along with that, I obviously want my family - my husband, my kids, my grandkids and all the rest - to be alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile, also!!

I want to be out of debt or at least pretty dang close to being so.
I want to be retired from my current job - I know that means I would have to be working somewhere else until social security age, but - I feel ten more years would be WAAAY too much.
I would want that job that I am working at to be in the travel industry - preferably in the airline business.
That way - I could visit many more places, far and near - - I would love to have those flight benefits again where I could go places, see people and do many more things!!!
I want to be an active grandma - and the apple of my grandkids eyes!! I want them to think I am the coolest grandma ever - - even though they will be 21, 17, 14, 13 and 13!!! I want to be the person they wanna hang out with!!
I want to see what they are growing into - the very best thing in my life has been watching my kids turn into the adults they are. And they are amazing - I want to see what my grandkids are in ten years. I expect all of them to be amazing, too!!! Though they will still be children, it will be amazing to know what they are like in that ten years.
Lastly, but not leastly, I want to be THINNER and in much better SHAPE!!
AND - if possible - and if there is any way in the world - I would love the be a LOTTERY WINNER!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! It doesn't have to be like the $300 million kind - I would be happy with the little $10 million one.

I know, it's a pretty benign list and pretty boring - but, it's who I am and what I want to see happen in my life.

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...
