I am ALIVE!!

Yeah, so I thought I should post and let you all know that I am still alive and WELL! I'm finally back to my normal self with the exception of a bit of a cough, but it's nothing to worry about. So I never found out for certain exactly what I had but the assumption is that it was the flu or some other virus with a bit of bronchitis mixed in. I'll just sum it up by saying it was AWFUL. But I survived. On the downside, I missed 6 days of work, so I'm having some financial issues that I'm having to figure out, but I will survive. On the upside, I lost 12 pounds during that illness. I've gained a few of them back though, just because I've been trying to get the strength back in my body. So now that I'm pretty much back to normal, I'm probably going to hop back on my diet. Going to the gym is pretty much out of the question because I'm always at work, and when I'm not at work, I need the rest. This weekend I'm working 40 hours between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon. I'm not looking forward to it, but I need the moolah.

In other news, my parents are moving back to Ohio. Long explanation as to exactly what they're doing, but I'll just say that they're going to be in Portsmouth for a while, and then they're moving to Columbus for good. So that's exciting that my parents will be close again, and I'll actually be able to see them for Christmas. Oh, and they gave me a 26" flat screen LCD TV. It was a gift to them and they gave it to me. It may be only temporary, but I'm trying to convince them that they really don't want it back.

The new job is still going great. My first regular day on the job was a bit crazy. Lots of stuff went wrong, but it was a good learning experience. So if disasterous things happen again, I'll be a bit more prepared to deal with it.

Well, that's about it. Just wanted to update y'all. Keep praying that I'll survive this work overload without getting totally exhausted or sick again. I hope all is well with everyone. I love ya and I'm praying for ya!!
