So yeah, I'm a bad blogger.
I tend to spout off and post when I'm mad, sad, worried, etc. and then when things are looking up and looking good I abandon this space.
See how I am??
Sorry about that!
My dad had another test/procedure last week. It actually eased my worries a tad. They found some swelling and infection. Why did that make me feel better? Well because it seemed likely that the infection could very well have been what was making him fee so tired, sick, weak, etc. He started an antibiotic and within a couple of days he was already feeling better. He then got his CT Scan results and it was confirmed no cancer!
They have identified his problems and are treating them.
He will need surgery at some point, but since they are addressing some things he should be able to hold off on that.
I am so relieved to say the least.
I really appreciate the many good thoughts, prayers, and sweet words over the last few weeks. It has meant a lot.
I am sure it's really obvious without me saying it...I'm a big worrier. I can deal with what comes my way when it involves me, but when it comes to my family it kills me when I can't protect them. I don't like not being in control. It scares me and I don't like being scared.
I'm not scared anymore though!
I am really feeling like things are looking up. In many ways.
The way I have been feeling the last week is a little surprising.
I tend to be a bit a moody person and not always the most optimistic either.
The last week though...I have been feeling really positive, happy, and hopeful. Even cheerful!
Don't get me wrong I'm not a big downer all the time I'm just not always so....hhmmmm...I don't know. I'm just me!! (:
Here's an example: Last Friday I got stuck on hold for an 1 hour and 45 minutes....by the time I got done with the call I had been on the phone for just over 2 hours...that's not counting the 40 minutes I was on hold on prior to that when my phone (I hate you AT&T!) cut out on me on while taking grandpa (who's doing well!!) to the post office. Even that didn't ruin my great mood! I joked to my dad that I might as well use up the minutes I have left and some 300+ rollover minutes that were about to expire on my account in a day or two.
The fact it didn't ruin my mood though could have had something to do with the fact that I got to hang out with three of my absolute favorite kids!! I love them to pieces and had an awesome time with them!!

I have mentioned in past posts that a couple friends of mine started a business last year and when the time comes and they are ready to start hiring I have a for sure, guaranteed job, well paying job....Well, things are really starting to happen and take off with their new business! Big things!! I am really getting excited. (I would so love to talk all about the industry that they are in and the products, but I don't feel comfortable having that information out on the internet at this time. A business acquaintance already learned that the hard way. Ha! Dang google! Maybe in the future I'll blog about it a little.)
It could be a matter of weeks or maybe even a few months still, it's still hard to say. I have a feeling it's not too far off though. I'm hopeful. And did I mentioned excited?!? Well I am, especially after a text I got tonight!
(I have been and will continue to look for work until that happens though! I have to and need to!)
So in summary:
Dad's good.
Grandpa's good.
I'm good.
Things are looking good.
Life is good.
It's all good.
