Ten Years - Time Flies

Ted and I are celebrating our ten year anniversary. It's a double anniversary for me, as one year ago today, I started at Delta Air Lines - an amazing job at an amazing place.

As we sat at dinner tonight, I asked him, "where do you think we'll be in ten years? In ten years, I'll be 63 and you'll be turning 70".

We discussed the places we want to go:

west coat and drive the Pacific Coast Highway
Chicago - drive Lake Shore Drive
The east coast and drive through New England
Sea Island, Georgia - Ted was telling me about it and now I must go!!!
back to Europe
just to name a few

We discussed our grandkids:

Aedynn will turn 25
Zach will be 20
Chelsea will be 17
Lydia will turn 17 the next day
Gabriel will be 16 (and all three will be driving!!)
Cash will be 12
Penny will be 11
Harper will turn 10 that year

It's amazing how fast the time goes. It's crazy how fast things change. When Ted and I got married, Aedynn was just barely out of toddler stage. Zachary was months old. We have added six grandchildren to our brood.

We moved into our house two months after we got married, now we are working on completely updating our living room and I have plans for updating our bedroom. Last summer we built our patio and just yesterday we had our first barbecue of the season to celebrate Mother's Day. We are very content with our lives together - though things are continually changing in our outside worlds.

Here's to looking into the future and watching what more is in store for us.

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...
