Day 99

Ok how weird!  I swear I posted this last night, turned off the computer, and headed to bed!  When I checked today, here it was in DRAFT form...so here is last night's post :-)

Hello on day 99 of this blog!  WOW! Can't wait for day 100 tomorrow....only 265 days to go then...amazing!  I want to thank those special people who e-mailed or talked to me today about yesterday's blog.  It meant so much and I am so sorry I didn't get back to you...but what a beautiful e-mail one of you wrote and I treasure those precious, encouraging words.  I am a blessed friend!

So today I worked for a bit at my dad's work going over paperwork and making sure it got filled out correctly.  Most people know what my dad does, but if the paperwork is NOT filled out correctly, then he goes to jail, so it is really really important that it gets triple and quadruple checked by people!  It was nice to order lunch and have it brought to us.  My mom and I always have some great conversations as we go over the work and I am grateful for those special moments!

I didn't get to go to work at all today.  I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon, but then the appointment took 4 hours.  2 of which I hope most people NEVER have to go through!  I won't say much (mostly because I complained enough on Facebook tonight lol) but go ahead and look up Electromyography if you are just dying to know what kind of torture chamber I was in for two hours.  Ok one FUNNY thing from there.  I asked the doctor (small talk while he was electrocuting me over and over again) what the history of the EMG and nerve stimulation was.  He told me he didn't know.  About an hour into the procedure I told him "oh I am pretty sure I know the history of EMG now.  Probably WWI or WWII some government figured out you could run electrical current through a person's body and it was a form of torture to get them to talk"  He got a good laugh out of it. :-) Glad I could give him a happy moment.  On the way out he even said "Thanks for the history lesson on the EMG tonight!  I am gonna have to remember that one!" Happy moment for the doctor-1 Happy moments for me-um...not so much :-)

I stopped by the mall right after the appointment to "decompress" after the procedure.  I actually was able to get a couple of things I could never have gone over and carefully picked out if I had the children with me so that worked out well.  I drove home and stopped by a person's house that I had happened upon last Saturday.  They are a family that just happened to have had a Pekinese dog, but it died a while back.  The man told me to please think of them if the owner of Miniwheat didn't call us.  So tonight, no phone call, I went over to their home.  The man told me he thought about calling me almost right then, but was sure the dog had been picked up by its owners.  He and his wife and two kids were more than happy to take the little guy in and so tonight, as a family, we took Miniwheat to his new (possibly temporary) home.  They were so kind and excited to get a chance at giving love to a Pekinese.  I told David "how would YOU feel if someone dropped off a sweet Golden Retriever at our door?" yep, same way!  So Miniwheat is off with his new family, hopefully with a new name, and I am happy to see a family filled with such joy over a dog :-)

After that, the kids went to bed and I went to making myself relaxed in a hot bath that included eating some See's candy I bought at the mall, drinking a tall glass of cold milk, and watching an episode of Gilmore Girls on my DVD player...LOVED IT!  So I am headed to bed a lot more relaxed.  I think my cats are ALSO headed to bed a lot more relaxed tonight as well!  I wish all of you nothing but happy moments tomorrow and in the days to come...Christmas is coming and I am feeling the joy of the season!
