Day 26 - If You Had $1,000,000 to Spend, How Would You Spend it?

A girl can dream, can't she?? Oh, let me count the ways!!!

The first order of business would be to pay off all debt. I don't know if I would continue working or not - as I could retire and since I had that million dollars and my debt would be gone, paying health insurance premiums wouldn't be too horrible - who knows.

I would probably give all the kids a bit of cash to pay off some of their debts, too.

And whenever I felt my fancy being tickled, I would give wonderful donations of $1000 or so to whatever charity interested me at the moment - just whenever. Mostly Make-A-Wish, diabetes or cancer research and things like that.

I would invest half - not sure in what or how. But, it would be a good plan to save for later. That way, I could play on the interest.

I would remodel some of my house - I would get my fireplace going the very first thing. Get new carpeting or even hardwood floors in my living room. New furniture. Maybe a new kitchen, I hate my kitchen. OK, I don't hate my kitchen really, I just hate the lack of cupboard and drawer space.

The last thing I would do is plan for two vacations - very nice vacations. The first one would be just a trip for two - maybe a European tour or a very long cruise. That would be for Ted and I. The other would be a vacation for all of my family - not really sure what I would do there; a cruise where we all have a gorgeous suite, an all-inclusive resort, a theme park journey or what. But, we would do something extremely awesome.

That money I invested - - it would be used from then on to do awesome and wonderful things.

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...
