How time flies! We have been moved into our beautiful apartment for quite a bit. I love it!

Kurt has been working for W.B. Mason, and W.B. only. He quit his second job so is now working 60 hours a week which is incredibly better then 80! 

I am working at Kohls and am getting quite busy through November. I worked about 40 hours the past couple of weeks. And yes, this week I do work 8-4:30 black Friday. My first time working the day after Thanksgiving! I hear it is crazy, but I'm not too crazy about it.

I have the opportunity to help a Special Needs girl with her first job, putting the merchandise in bags while I ring at the register through the holidays. The Managers thought I would be most compatible to helping her.  So Friday she will be helping me. I am thankful for the opportunity to help her.  It will be a long day Friday :)  I am very thankful for my job even as it's turning crazy busy because it allows us to be able to get gifts for each other and others and to travel to be with family. 

We started a Ladies book study at church for Sunday School. "Lies Women Believe, And the Truth that Sets Them Free." We read the book and fill in our own study book throughout the week, then go over it on Sunday  I am enjoying it very much! 

Kurt and I went up to visit my grandparents Friday night through Sunday. A very nice lady covered my shift at work! :) We spent Saturday morning Christmas gift shopping in Freeport at the outlets,  then went to Portland to shop at the mall in the afternoon, to my Grandparents to enjoy a great dinner, then back to Freeport for all the beautiful lights everywhere. And best of all, Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Lattes and a horse drawn carriage ride!  It was so lovely I will remember it forever.

We are going to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving.

Kurt has still been applying to Police Departments in Maine. He has been to a couple of interviews. They all really like him but there is always someone more qualified. That's life.  

In the mean time I am not letting life pass me by and am enjoying it to it's fullest!!

They gave me 4 back to back neb treatments. 60 mg of prednisone to start me off for the day, steroid inhaler to take daily, and sent me home on the neb every 2 to 3 hours ( which they normally don't let me do if they know I am. ) Now I'm waiting for the prednisone to actually kick into my lungs instead of just this terrible pain all over my body and strange mood. The side effects get worse every time I take it.

Doctors note, can't work, home tomorrow. Also can't do much else I'm shaking so much from all the overdosed neb treatments and when I do pretty much anything, including talk, I start to get short of breathe and wheeze like a dying. . . well I don't know what. Just sitting here I'm bad enough.

 I need to get things done this is driving me nuts. Excuse my rantings, I'm never myself on this stuff.

Can't breathe, on the nebulizer all night. Still wheezing.
Off to urgent care. Guess I could escape it this time . . .

I am working on getting everything together for Alyssa's Graduation party on Saturday. I hope it is a beautiful day and one she will love and remember always as a good day :)

 Everyone is sick, so I won't complain. But I am sick, again, with an awful cold which is swiftly moving to my lungs. I hope to not go to the doctor.  It is okay though because I have insurance now. Such a relief! Not looking forward to work again tomorrow. I sound like I am plugging my nose, and customers look at my funny. Although I'm sure my red and crusty nose and upper lip give away my situation. 

I worked over forty hours last week.  I also won Employee of the Month, which entitles an extra $25 in my paycheck, parking right up front in employee of the month parking spot, and a Kohls tote bag.  I don't know whether to be thrilled that my hard work is paying off, or not because a lot of long time employees are jealous and don't appreciate me getting credits.  Oh the drama .

Kurt has been working 75 hours a week. We need to get all of these jobs figured out so it is all more balanced. No complaints though, just happy for work when a lot of people are out of work! 

I am moving into a new apartment, which I'm sure you have all heard from the first floor resident to be  :P   The apartment is beautiful and seems so big, I love it! We are moving in this Saturday after Aly's party. I am soooooo excited to get all of my things out of storage!!

I hope everyone starts feeling better soon.

Vitamin C and Vicks to all who are sick , (haha)

He's Back

I have my husband back! :)

College, Work, Hubby & Typical Me.

I finally unpacked my college, finished it all over the past few months, and sent it in a couple of weeks ago.
I got an email today letting me know I passed at 96%. I will get my certificate soon.

I have been working 30 hours a week. I had my 30 day review and they are happy with me. I am head of everyone in the store for credit apps for the whole first month.

Headed to NH this weekend to meet up with Kurt and his family. Celebrating Kiersten's birthday on Saturday! Then I get to have my husband back !!

As everyone has been discussing, this weather has been great. It has been great in more ways for me, because now I want hot coffee and it is cheaper :) Also, I don't even have to buy it, just make it at home and I'm good to go.

As always I am back on my inhaler all the time. Wakes me up at night a few times, keeps me from even walking too fast, and I even have to take it at the register at work. I am holding off as long as I can on prednisone and am just pushing through this. It makes me weak on so much albuterol all day but I don't want to be sick and I don't want to be lazing around . Period.

I made an appointment to get my windshield replaced tomorrow. There is a crack in it longer then a foot.

If you don't make it through this post I don't blame you. It's very long.

Goodbyes .

I got my shift covered for next Saturday! We went up to Maine right when I got out of work, got in late, went to church the next morning, said our goodbyes and then I headed back down to Mass to get to work.

Yes, I cried.

I am very happy for my husband that he gets to continue his education with this course and get closer to his career. He has worked so hard, I hope he has a good time away!

I am going to keep busy this week. I'm not gonna lie, it feels great to have a car to myself! :)
