Right now I hoping with all hope that I don't join Reiki and Dakota in the cellulitus club.. I've had it twice, and I don't like what I'm seeing tonight in/on my left leg.. I can't handle this right now, a hospital stay is NOT an option. The DR I spoke to said to go to the ER, but he doesn't understand my whole condition...grrr. Last time this happened was Sept 12th, 2001, and I spent 16 days in the hospital. CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

MGA, I know you don't want to hear this, but go! If the dr thinks you should go to the hospital, then do it. You know how bad it can be and catching it early is important! (I'm still close enough to the scare of waking up and seeing my baby's beautiful face look like that and trying not to freak her out because I know how bad it can be.) Your health is the most important thing right now. I will send positive thoughts and prayers your way that it isn't cellulitis, but still think you should go if you think it is.

MGA, I hope you don't join us either, but if I've learned anything this weekend its that it is better to know for sure and to take care of it quickly. I am very glad that I only had one night in hospital. Take care. I'll be sending you good thoughts.

Right now, I just got back from the dr's office with Dakota. She is all healthy again! We saw the new doctor, a woman who fits in with the two other doctors perfectly and has the same attitude that they do about kids being people and not walking illnesses. Anyways, Kota is done with the doctors at least for this illness, can go back to playing baseball, and has a clean bill of health. I'm so excited! MGA, how are you feeling this morning? Is your leg doing any better?

right now, everybody get well and stay well!! right now, i just had an interview at penney's. here is how ours did it: a gal took me to a computer terminal sitting in the hallway between catalog dep't and break room. she left me. i was pretty sure since there was only me and a computer, i was supposed to do something with it. i sat down and started filling things in. after a while, i got serious and picked real answers, not just pretty patterns. the last several questions were things like, 'an employee wants to use her 15% discount on a 60 dollar dress. what is the discount?' well, duh. like 9. some of them the answers weren't there...they wanted you to make a mistake, such as 'a customer pays for a items totaling 68.95 with a hundred dollar bill. what is her change?' well, they didn't have 31.05 on the list of answers, but they had 32.05. i am sure a lot of people would choose that answer, but i knew to pick 'answer not one of the choices'. i cannot do calculus or geometry, but give me percentages and doing change and i can do it in a snap. of course, unless there's a power outage, the cash registers all take of the discounts and change amounts for you, but i like seeing a blouse for 24.00 and seeing it's 25% off and knowing instantly that it's on sale for 18.00, etc. when i am the customer, i have to have an idea of what i can afford so, the latest on head start in our county, for those of you who knew i had applied there...the saturday paper's headlines were about the administrator being put on paid leave for a $300,000+ discrepancy. they may never hire at all... therefore, although i would be sure to get all the evening hours (not a problem, we have a vcr!) and a lot of weekends (not as enthused, but that's life when you have kids and needs!), i think i have a good chance of getting this job. they can't hire until next week, but i think they will seriously consider me for the one position they have opening up. after i left the computer,i wasn't sure where to go. the computer told me to go find the employment person. i dawdled a bit at the jewelry counter looking over the presale items in their million dollar sale....then i found where i was supposed to go! the gal knows my husband because her husband is in a club with my husband and they cook together sometimes. i also had this lady's granddaughter in preschool 12 years back. her sister-in-law lives 3 doors down from me. in this town, once you find a link, it keeps growing. but do not ever, i mean, EVER, talk about anyone because sure as shoot, if they aren't related to them by blood they are by marriage

Right now I want to tell everyone who I saw today. Martha Krabill, Army Girl from the AI auditions. She was parked next to me at the post office. I saw her come out as we were both getting in our cars, but I wasn't sure it was her because she had barrettes or something in her hair. When I pulled away, I saw her license plate was "82Vocals" and I knew it was her. So that was kind of cool. Right I now I am also SUPER excited that I got our reservations made at Disneyworld for Shades of Green, the military resort on Disney. I knew they were very booked up and was thinking I was going to go with the Port Orleans Riverside resort for $642 for 4 nights. But, yay! They had a few rooms for our week and it's only $380 and no tax. What a deal and it's newly remodeled with oversized rooms. 1 more day till DH is home!!!! I am somewhere between totally hyper and completely exhausted.

Right now, I am getting ready to vacuum those rugs, Landi! I've grown to like them, even though I had to spend $20 on a tablecloth to match. Who was the poster who asked why I didn't have any blankets? 3 of them arrived this week. Tabby, he'll be working half days for a few weeks as the rest of the battalion returns, then we get 3 weeks leave after Easter. He knows I've lost weight, but I don't think he can picture how much difference 25 lbs. has made. Right now, I also realized that DH is on the cover of the "Army Times" weekly publication. It's an news magazine thing, sold in military outlets all over the world. He's got a small picture on the cover and a larger one inside, even though he's not quoted in the article. The title of the piece is "Starbucks Downrange, Battle Stress Eased Through Better War-Zone Living", and it shows DH in his cool folding chair kicked back with his Boater's World coffee cup (Xmas present from me).

lol, landi! one of my suggestions when not1 first got it and thought she might hate it was to send him a note: "hi, hon--the rug for your mother arrived today. i have forwarded it on with your love." or something like that! Littlec, my mom was 70 in september. happy bd to yours! mine still works full-time and skis like a maniac. also, she is going to italy this summer.

right now, sounds like a good day all around! right now, if anyone is planning a trip in july....last week i checked with expedia for a round-trip flight between san jose and boston. the cheapest trip was $323, with a plane change at a different terminal in chicago. since dd is flying alone, i was not excited about a flight she had to catch at a different terminal!! non-stop flight was 525 bucks. today the nonstop flights are 301 bucks!! shows how things can change almost overnight. i think it was maybe thursday that i first checked! if you are going somewhere, book now. that's the lowest round-trip fare for nonstop i have seen in years!

Right now I'm checking in to say that I'm ok!! Went to the Dr today. I packed my leg on ice last night and pinched some of DH's antibiotic that he didn't finish. (yes, I know that's bad, but I checked out the sccop on them first..) Doc said he didn't know exactly what was going on but he's pretty sure it wasn't cellulitus. At first I was thinking it was an allergic reaction to something, but it was only on that leg. Anyway... now I can get back to normal and (try) to read today's threads. I was so sure I was going to the hospital that I pre-programmed my VCR for the shows that I just can't miss for sure this week, and stuck my TV guide in my purse..LOL.. Now that's bad..

Thank you for letting us know MGA. That sounds like good news. By pre-programming your VCR you now can take a nap and not worry about missing your favorites.
