I've been MIA

Where does the time go? I swear, I must be enjoying life more, or maybe I'm just getting overly extended with my job, kids' sports, and marriage. But I have been away for a couple weeks, anyway. I think about posting my weigh in about Thursday each week. Monday's are usually pretty hectic for me. I've been putting on a couple pounds. I'm up to 116 now and feeling really great. I'm looking better in clothes (and out!), and don't feel so wrinkly. I am walking more, but still no weight bearing exercises. My muscles are continuing to come back, and I'm filling out a bit more. I'm still in size 2 jeans, but I bet I move up soon. I'm really happy with the way I look right now. It would be good to hang out around this weight. We are in to flex season at work, so I can work a condensed work week and take off Friday's. It's been this way since 4/15. But I have yet to be able to enjoy a Friday off yet. Too many things I need to do here on Friday's. I am going to try to work ahead some hours this week so I can have a 4 day holiday. I would relish the break. My husband is leaving on Tuesday to go to New Jersey and visit his daughter. She is flying him back there to do some electrical work on her house, and to visit his grandaughter who is 2 and he has not yet met. His daughter is due with baby no. 2 in July. We may fly back there this fall, if we can save up the money. He is still without a job, and I'm really getting behind on the bills. He HAS to get some work soon, and bring in some money. My insurance company looked into my file again on my surgery when my surgeon re-submitted his bill because they didn't pay on it the first time. That is when they decided they paid the hospital bill in error and demanded the money back from the hospital. No one has notified me of this. I just got a bill from the hospital for over $30,000 and about died! So now I have to deal with trying to get that all covered again. The money problems never seem to end. That's about it from here. Hope all of you are doing well. I'll be reading and catching up.

Oh, Kim, the first part of your post sounded like life had really turned around for you and I was smiling and happy. Then I read about the hospital bill and your husband not having found a job. There's still plenty of stress in your life, huh? Well, I'm glad to hear your health is better. I had mentioned in a recent post that things must be going pretty well for you because we hadn't heard from you. Glad to see you here again! CeCe

You are all never far from my thoughts. I just haven't been online alot recently. Stress must be my middle name. Sometimes I think I handle it well, and other times it gets to me. I stewed all weekend about work, and had a hard time getting out of my thoughts and sleeping. The money situation is my biggest stress right now. I know I only have so much money, but it's just difficult trying to deal with all these entities wanting money NOW. I will keep on plugging along and trying to reduce my stress. Luckily, now my health is not the issue. I can be thankful for that.
