Update because...

I have been very bad.  I have been lurking and posting here and there but not as much as I would like.    My life has been crazy over the past few months and I would like to share... First off, my last day of work at The Citadel, the job I HATE  is Wednesday.  This is for 2 reasons, first - my tummy tuck is Thursday  and second - I have quit!  I realized about 3 weeks ago that if you walk into your office and want to cry, it is time to leave.  This happened to me literally.  I about broke down and cried because I was in a place I hated to be.  So I made the decision not to go back after the tummy tuck.  I am giving my Pet Sitting and Grooming business my full attention.  I am planning to take most of September off to fully recover.  I am excited and scared to DEATH  .  But I know everything will be OK. I have some many people inmy corner it is a great relief and a source of support.  Plus I have done the research and planned everything out. The grooming truck is still not fully funtional, I have been have some electrical problems with it.  It will work when I plug it into my house, but not at clients house.  I had a mechanic look at it and he was able to plug it in to his shop no problem, so who knows what is going on with it .  I have talked to several companies that do  grooming truck conversions and my only option is to get the generator, to the tune of $2000!  I am trying to find a cheaper one on Ebay.  So wish me luck. I have a lot of irons in the fire over the past  few weeks while I recover, do not worry nothing that will hurt me physically.  I plan on spending time with friends and catch up on my movies.  I am also researching my next pet, no pun intended, project.  My non profit organization which I hope to call Sandlapper Animal Rescue, if the name is not taken yet,  If it is I will have to find another one.  I will also be building my web site. So that is about it... Another new chapter is about to be opened in my life and I thought I would share with the people that have been in my corner cheering me on over the past year and half.  Thank you to all!  I will keep you posted about everything better in the future.

Julie,    I am so proud and excited and even envious of you.  You are living your dream.  It was great seeing you yesterday.  My Mother is vacuuming her house and spraying more even as I type.  I hope you had fun downtown.  See you Thursday pm (if you will remember).    I'll be thinking about your Thursday am.  The worst part for me was when he was drawing on me with the Sharpie.  See if they will give you some good drugs before that.  After that embarrassment, the whole thing is a BREEZE.    Talk to you soon Mary

Thanks Mary, I thought you were not going to mention the fleas to the board .   Hopefully I will remember seeing the people that will come to visit, I just do not want to remember the pain! . See ya soon

Julie Julie!   You are one of the most courageous people I have ever met.   You have also given me some of the BEST advice ever.      I agree with Mary, the drawing with the sharpie is a bit daunting, and then you wonder where all the marker went to... lol?! You will do well, you have such a strong persona and I am grateful that I know you.    I will be there soon and do hope that if there is anything I can ever do that I will. J. :)

Wow Julie!!  That is so exciting. Sounds like your whole life is changing right before our eyes!!!!  Kudos to you!!!!!!!

Thanks Melissa!  Yep, like my Father said to me the other day, I do like getting having everything done at once!  I hope you guys come back down again. Julie

Glad to hear that you quit a job that you hate.  I wish I could do the same but something's gotta pay the bills so I'm stuck at least until next school year.  I'm so glad that you are taking some time off to recover after the TT.   You deserve it.  I sure wish you were closer.  I could really use your grooming and pet sitting services.  Best of luck to you and I'll be thinking about you. Rachel

Thanks Rachel! You are just going to have to move down here!  BTW have you set up your appt with the PS here?

Hey Julie... It was so good seeing you again and going out Saturday. Thanks again for joining and leading the expedition.  We had so much fun and the girls were so hyper on the way back... must be all the candy they bought.  Congrats on quiting your job and congrats on your grooming business. I think I will now call you the flea whisperer....  I will be thinking of you on Thursday... Pam 

You are more than welcome!  I had fun.  You have just great courage doing what  you did not Saturday.  Your girls were great!  It was nice meeting them and their friends.  Come on down any time. Thanks Julie
