Ok, I've found a new show that is absolutely hilarious. Ok, new to me anyway! It's called Chuck. I vaguely remember a couple years ago when this show came out I saw a commercial for it and thought it looked terrible! I was so wrong! It's about a nerd (manager of the "nerd herd" aka Geek Squad at the Buy More aka Best Buy!) who ends up a "spy' by an accidental turn of events. Two of the main characters are actors I have never heard of before- but do a great job. And it has Adam Baldwin....who for those true nerds was Jayne in Firefly and on the X-files every now and then. No relation to the other Hollywood Baldwins- thankfully!

With life being pretty stressful lately, finding this to destress and have fun with has been pretty important. My Grandfather is getting worse, it's stressful trying to find work to move there to help out. Plus, we are down to 4 out of 16 people at work...yeah. So, laughter is pretty important. I think that is one reason why I love Chris so much- he always is making me laugh. If I'm stressed out...he makes sure he finds some way to make me laugh. God knew what he was doing to put me with someone like that!

I had a really great Valentines weekend with Chris, but now I am so very sick! Off to the doctor again! Maybe he can make it to where I can breathe and not cough my head off!

On a more serious note, my Grandfather is going through chemo again for the lung cancer he has. Apparently, it is making him quite sick and he is having some serious side effects. My Mom told me last night to prepare for the worst cause it looks like it may happen sooner than we expected. We hope not, but cancer is unpredictable. Prayers would be appreciated, especially since we hope to have more chances to change his mind about becoming a Christian.

    I love the quote in your title. :)

    *hug* You really sound awful. I hope you feel better soon!

    And praying for your Grandfather too. You've got so much on your plate. I don't know how you keep on keeping on... you're sure an encouragement to me!

    You sound like you need a couple of days to rest in bed. Your employer won't like it if 1) you infect all yr coworkers (pronounced cow-orkers) or 2) if you make yourself sicker and end up in the hospital. That's the logical argument.

    What you REALLY need is a couple of days of doing nothing but goofing off on the internets! That's the not-so-logical argument.

    Take your pick. Regardless, get well!

    I love you.

    And Chris is a stinker, by the way.

    Feel better soon and have a good day. And oh... did you see my valentine balloons?

    And while I'm at it... I ate about half of my halloween stash (yeah it's still hanging around... although not any longer) for breakfast. I regretted it promptly.

So, I've been a little frustrated lately. I'm trying to be really patient about finding a job down in Huntsville so that I can move down there to be closer to Chris (and my Grandpa). (Only seeing the person you love barely two days out of the week starts to really hurt after more than 1.5 years). But, it's been a year, hundreds of applications and some interviews later and still no job. I know it is a hard economy, so I am trying to be really patient about it. Believe me, I am grateful to have a job right now. I know I am blessed with some really great friends, and a wonderful family. And a pretty terrific boyfriend.

So what I am I doing now? I'm trying not to complain and to see what I have. I'm trying to be patient with what life brings(this is where I am miserably failing!) So, I'm not asking for pity- there are plenty of people whose lives are immensely more hard than mine. But I am asking for prayers. I need help to get through this time since no one knows how long it will last. I might get a call tomorrow, or it could be months from now. I do trust that God has plans for me and that they are good ones! I just have to make it through this hard time!

    Love you, Shan! I was sorely tempted to start with "count your blessings" then duck and run for cover, but... thought better of it. :)

    You know, God tells us to weep with those that weep... not try to get them to cheer up with and tell them all the reasons they don't have a right to be frustrated. Sometimes that's warranted, but... sometimes it just hurts more. Most of the time it hurts more.

    Actually, I may just weep right along with you and we can keep each other company. I'm having major house hunting and just plain ol' house angst today. *sigh* Keep getting my hopes up, keep getting them shot down. It gets old. But, it'll work out, right?

    I'm really hoping you get THE CALL soon! And I'm praying that God will keep you from jobs that would be a frustration and find you "just the right one" soon. I want so much for you to move here. It's hard to only have you here only on the weekends and I'm only the friend-in-law. ;)

    Gotta run for church (meeting), but I'll talk to you later tonight, hopefully. Unless I'm running late... Walmart run afterwards. Bleh!

    I'll keep praying.

    Heh, I think you might be speaking to the choir, so to speak, considering what she said in her post. I think she knows she's blessed, but she needs prayers because having a grandfather with cancer that she wants to spend time with while she can, a boyfriend who lives far away, a difficult job with very long hours, getting only a couple hours of sleep at night, etc... that kind of wears on a person. It's not just missing my brother that's hard, but it's one part of several things.

    And, considering what happened this morning... I know you need love and prayers even more. I'm so glad you are safe and ok. Love you!!

    From what I understand the roads are clear. I talked to Andy down the street and he had gotten out to make sure he could get to work tonight and they had cleared everything- only the little roads are still covered, but even then people are coming and going. By Monday they'll everything else clear.

So....I've been extra cranky, stressed and anxious the last couple weeks. I thought that I just had a terrible attitude and that I need to get more sleep and fix my attitude. Which might be a little true still, but I finally figured out that I am having a reaction to my allergy medication! Again. Apparently, I'm not just allergic to antihistamines.

So, hopefully the crankiness, feeling like I am going to jump out of my skin will go away soon. Along with the awful headaches, feeling like I have ADD, nausea and weight gain(yes, I read the side effects....it is one of them!). Seriously, I've been eating less and gaining weight- so frustrating!

I'll deal with the allergy symptoms....this isn't worth it.

So sorry if I've been snippy to anyone!

    Poor you!! I'll be honest, I hadn't noticed that you were cranky at all. And I hadn't noticed that you gained weight... seriously, are you sure?? Where are you putting it? Did you give it to me... yes, that's more likely. :P

Still not a word from the job interview...it's getting to that time where I get pretty sure that they have probably decided to go with someone else. I hope not, but usually if you're going to get the job, they call you pretty quickly after the interview. I hope I am wrong about this, but I am not thinking that will be the case. Just waiting on the "we've gone with someone else letter."

Work is pretty stressful right now. Our staff has been severely cut and the amount of work that we are expected to do has gone up to a crazy high volume. It's almost impossible to get done everyday anymore. To top it all off, someone in our department has decided to go on personal leave until June...leaving behind a lot of work to be absorbed by the rest of us. The bad news is, I am the only back up to about half the work she does. I'm a little stressed. We're waiting to hear whether or not we will get a temp worker during that time. It would really help out!

Looking forward to a three day weekend in a couple weeks! We were so far behind at work they asked us to work the MLK holiday we would have had this past Monday. So, I decided to take a day off a couple weeks from now to make up for that- it's nice to have a three day weekend with Chris!

Only 2.5 days until a very much looked forward to weekend!
