Yes...I'm Still Alive...

I think the problem is that there is always so much to put on here that I just feel over whelmed and never do, that and having the time. But I called off work today, so I guess that's a good place to start.

I've been not feeling well now for about three weeks. At first it was just little stuff that I was noticing that was drving me crazy like my hands being super dry all the time, and my voice being stratchy but my throat not hurting. But one day at work I was really cold but then got really hot. My face was red and you could feel the heat coming off of me, but when I took my temp it was only 97.3. Weird. Then I would feel like my heart was racing and was having heart palpitations. Then that changed to my heart going slower. One night I was just sitting on the couch and it felt like my chest sucked into itself and it took my breath. It really felt like my heart had stopped, and my fingers were tingling. Not good!! At first I thought I might be my blood pressure, but when I was talking to a sister at the hall she mentioned that she had a hypoactive thyroid and the palpitations were a reaction that she had. When she said that I was like "Duh"!! Since I have always thought that I've had that. People have always accussed me of being a hypocondriac. So then she starts mentioning other things like dry skin!!! Which I had noticed, but never thought it would be connect to the other things. And of course too the lethargy, which I had also been having. Not to mention the depresstion that had been on going since about the age of 12. So I went home and looked up some stuff and it also mentioned a hoarse voice. So I am all but convinced that that is what is going on. But I don't have health insurance so I can't go to the doctor just yet. But I definately and gonig too and am just kinda dealing with it till then.

But that leads to the next big news....Chris got a new job!!!!! Now...he had applied for this same job with a different company. That company drug the process out for an entire month...so we didn't ever know if he was going to get this awesome job for that long. Long story short, he didn't get it. So we just kinda thought "oh well" and I tried to go full time at my job but they wouldn't let me so I still didn't have health insurance. So about two weeks ago now, Chris just gets this call from someone named Ron. He said that he had been speaking to Phil from the place that had turned him down. Ron had asked if he had had any good applicants that he wasn't able to hire, so he gave Chris' name. And now...two weeks later he has the job and will probably start Monday!!! So here's the job: It's an HVAC apprenticeship. So they are going to pay for his schooling and in five years he will have an associates degree in HVAC service. It's a union job. Health insurance after 3 months, a van after 30 days, 7 paid holidays, 1 week vacation, retirement, pay for all tools, and.......$1.75 raise!!!!! We are so excited!! Goes to show that Jehovah does not always answer your prayers in the way you are expecting, but he doesn't leave you hanging either.

Well, I'm sure there are other things to put on here (like messing with Texas!!!) but those are the biggies, no puppies or babies my way...but that's just fine with me!!!
