Current Events

1) Thank you Heather at http://epnurse.blogspot.com for helping me with my blog loading problem in IE. Your suggestion worked perfectly. Due to that, I knew what to look for in my hubby's blog and he fixed his as well.

2) Yep, Friday was blood draw day. Yep, after results were in, received the expected call from the oncologist office. This time they let me know my counts are "very dangerously low". We discussed, I told her I know the drill.... I also discussed that I am starting to wonder if the steriod I get with chemo and for the next two days after might be part of my getting so sick every time problem. She said I may have some valid concerns. I will be talking to my doctor soon.......

3) I am very glad that Rita did not do the damage that it could have, but I am still sad that it did still do damage. On a good note, I am very very glad that the people that could have been affected were not. I have heard from all but one of them and everyone was either not close enough to be affected or managed to evacuate. I am still waiting to hear from one though.......... but I am guessing they are fine with the way Rite ended up going.

4) Tomorrow, my daugher and I will do the thrilling task of going to a car dealership to buy a car. Her car blew up...oil and water now in places they shouldn't be ... a couple of weeks ago and it has been a very stressful time since. Loan places don't want to give loans to 19 year olds anymore without a co-signer and for some reason they seem to think the co-signer should be employed also, which as we know, I am not. Just seems no one has a sense of humor anymore. Due to a chain of events, which I will discuss when I am not so tired, a dealership finally agreed to work out a pre-approved loan for her and will allow me to co-sign. We have never been to this dealership (which is located in Milwuakee), so we have no idea what to expect, or what type of cars they have on their lot. After everything we have been through on this though, there are no choices but to buy a car on this lot. Otherwise she doesn't have a car and she will then be fired from her job. And if she is fired from her job, she won't be able to buy a car. And living in rural America the way we do, she has to have a car to have a job. There are no jobs to be had in this little burg we live in. As I think I have mentioned before, we even have to travel a minimum of 9 miles to get to the nearest gas station. So..... tomorrow could be interesting, but hopefully it will work out fine.

5) This is actually creepy…..
