Feast or Famine

So much has happened since my last post. So I need to play catch up again.

I spent the entire month of February sick. First I had a sinus infection. Came back to work for a day and developed a viral infection. Was off work for 4 more days. I returned and worked for a whole week. Then I came down with the flu which put me out of commision for 5 days. Of course my stupid doctor gave me hell about filling out my sick papers for work. She acted like I took the time off to play "hooky" or something. Even though I went to her office and was diagnosed all 3 times.

I ended up taking five days off from work cause I had a fever and was achy all over for days. The fever did not break until the fourth day. And since I work weekends it was 5 days. Had I only worked Monday through Friday it would have only been 3 days. She claims she told me to only take 2 days off. What she said was I could not work for 2 days cause I was contagious. Not that I could only take 2 days. She was a real bitch about it. It ain't like she is having to pay for my time off. It's all squared away now, but at the time I was wanting to strangle her pregnant ass.

My little sister in the meantime moved to Louisiana with a guy she met on the internet. She helped our mother move into a 1 bedroom apartment and then stayed there for a few weeks driving our mother crazy. Then all of a sudden BAM! Some guy picked her up and she was gone. She didn't leave a forwarding address or nothing. Our mother was happy Christina was out of her hair, but was worried she might be dead in a ditch somewhere.

So when Mom's birthday came (March 10th) and went without a peep from Christina I decided to contact her the only place I could think of. You see several months back it was discovered that Christina has a MySpace page. So I decided to try and contact her through that. Of course, I had to join and make my own MySpace web page. I had been banning MySpace for so long that it just about killed me to join. However, it worked. Christina immediately called our mother and informed her of where she is and a cell number to contact her if need be. I get onto MySpace every other day or so to check things out and keep in contact with Christina.

On the work front, March saw some knock down drag out fights between Dilbert and me. I did some things he didn't approve of and vice versa. He accused me of being unprofessional and trying to run our work crew. I accused him of ignoring our work concerns brought to his attention and not supporting us to other departments. We spent 45 minutes yelling at each other in one of the project rooms. We eventually came to a truce and things have been okay since. Of course that is only from my point of view. Several other co-workers are still completely disgruntle.

Then the 21st of March brought on a HUGE surprise for me. I FOUND A HOUSE! Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) and I went house hunting that day and looked at 7 homes. The second one we saw was perfect. Of course I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted it. You see my print out of the house specs showed the house selling for one amount. My realtor's copy showed it selling for $3000 less (which I didn't know at the time). Then when I came home to put down all my notes for the places we had seen on my saved searches, I saw that the house was now $5000 less than my print out. I knew then that this was a sign for me to buy it. I immediately emailed my realtor and got the ball rolling. The closing date is scheduled for April 19th. Here are the only 2 pictures I have right now of my potential home.

Since it is under contract it has been removed from the real estate sites which also included pictures of the bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining areas. It is 1810 square feet with vinyl wood floors in the living and dining rooms, tile in the kitchen and carpet in the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It has a 2 car garage in the rear, a decent size back yard and a new roof which is being installed as we speak. I am so excited about my "potential" new home.

And last but certainly not least, I am having surgery...tomorrow. I haven't told very many people and I am choosing to speak of it now since I may be out of commission for a while. I am only supposed to stay in the hospital over night and miss about 3 weeks of work. Hopefully everything will run smoothly and I will have plenty more blogs to share with you guys. Wish me luck!

Well that is all for now. I must get to bed since I have to be at the hospital at 6am and Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) is coming to get me at 5:30 am. Take care everyone and I will be back to harass ya'll soon!
