OMG, what a week! What happened to vacation?

Where do I even begin with this past week? I really want to know what happened to vacation? I need a vacation from my vacation.

Tuesday K went to the doctor for her blood test results. Seems she may have something called Haroshima's Syndrome. It has to do with her thyroid. If she does have it, many things would be explained. She could begin taking medicine and maybe things would get seriously better.
So Tuesday we are trying to digest what we have learned about K's health and we get a call from our eldest daughter. She has been in a car accident.

This is a big deal seeing that she isn't just around the corner for us to go to her side. She is 4 hours away. Thats 4 hours of a constant 70 -75 mph mind you.

She was in the back right seat of a car that was hit, while at a full stop, by a truck doing 70mph. Hit on the back right side mind you. She was trapped in the car for a bit because the front seat collapsed on her leg, pinning her.

Thankfully her brother is going to the same university, and although he was at work once he found out what was going on he left work and beat her to the hospital.

She is doing well. She is in a lot of pain. Her left leg and lower back received the most damage. Nothing is broken, but it may have been easier for it had it been. There are few spots on her leg that does not have bruising. We brought her home.

There was no way she was going to be able to climb into her 6 ft loft bed or get around on her own, which is what staying would have required. We brought her home to helo her heal faster and better.

We brought her home, for peace of mind.

Move update....

Still not happening any time soon, but there seems to be some movement in my favor.

I spoke with the licensing department in the state we want to move to and they have everything except my fingerprints. Those were sent out last week so they should be getting them very soon. Once that is done I will be able to say I am licensed to teach there.

One of the things I have to clear up, quickly, is what I will be certified to teach. I am two classes shy of being all social sciences there. TWO!! I could take them in the spring, but I want to make sure I will be able to add it to my license without problems.

The next good thing was an email from the principal of the school I want to teach at. He is very interested in my credential and once the budget issue clears up I should be getting called in for an interview. I hate interviews. I need to make sure I get some practice at them between now and then.

Vacation.... Day 1

Today I slept in later than I have in a long while. Thank babe. I needed it.

Now the day starts... what shall I do. I have a list of things I could do, but there is a very very very short list of things that I actually want to do.

K says I can just take the day off. Do what ever. That sounds awesome, but lazy as hell. I know I should do something productive. Playing Cafe World is in my day, but what else?

I think I am going to do some more cross stitching today. I am also seriously thinking about working on another quilt. I haven't made one since I did the one for L before she left for college. the update on that is that it is confortable as all get out. She has used in on her away trips as well as uses it in her dorm room. I have to admit that makes me feel pretty damned good.

For now I think I will work on the cross stitching of the baby blanket I started before school started back up and then see where the day takes me.

I know I am scheduled to do some bedroom painting this break and we are going to be going up to see L and R for Thanksgiving. L has a football game she has to be at and the Corps is having a Thanksgiving Day meal for Corps members and their families.

Lesson planning will be thrown into the mix at some point, just not right now.

Time for some relaxation where is it?

Our Thanksgiving Break has officially begun. The week I have off will be spent doing this around the house and doing some lesson planning. Getting all caught up on lessons and post them online, as required, and prep for the month we have between now and Christmas Break.

It has been a stressful couple of weeks. After a rough time, as a couple, we have finally gotten back to a happy place. I know, I have trivialized it, but rehashing it all honestly seems pointless. Some positives did come out of all of the stress. K finally made an appointment for the doctor and went. we received some unexpected results. Her EKG shows an oddity and she needed further tests. The fear that something was seriously wrong scared the hell out of us both. The wait to get into the cardiologist was horrendous.

K has gone to the cardiologist. She had a sonogram of her heart done and then a stress test. Her heart is healthy! The oddity on the EKG was nothig more than that.

When she went to the doctor she had many vials of blood taken in order to have a series of tests done. She is being tested for everything from anemia to diabetes, to thyroid and graves disease. The other huge thing she is being tested for are her allergies. We get to learn what it is she is truly allergic to. She has allergies, no one can deny that, I just want to know what are they for sure.

Feeling like...

Today I have an appointment with the doctor. I hate going to the doctor honestly, but I have no choice. I have been getting progressively worse this past week, and last night I think I kept K awake coughing. I believe I have bronchitis.

I have had it before. It isn't anything new. I had hoped in the beginning that it was just a cold that would pass, but no.

K has gone to the doctor to have some tests run. She has been having some issues and they are checking everything out. Taking lots of blood from her, doing x-rays, and of course the questions. K is a very unique medical case. She is allergic to many many things, so many thing she is almost not sure what she isn't allergic to. The non-allergic list seems to be shorter. They took the blood, took the x-ray, and now we wait. Hoping to get some good news.

Nothing new on the job front. I have sent in all of the paperwork, except for fingerprints, to the state for my teaching license. I must find someplace that will do my fingerprints for me on this card they provided and then send it and the $60 in. Finding the time to get the fingerprinting done is the problem. I am not worried that anything will pop up. Really. I don't have a record beyond speeding tickets.

I am sick. I am tired. I really wishing I could just go home and veg.
