Booting up

Booting up is what your computer does all the time. It comes from the saying to pull yourself up by your boot straps, which most people, well some people have done a time or two. Those who have been faced with hardships and gotten through.

I haven't always been a geek, I haven't always been a Mother either. I have been booting up for many years, computer wise and otherwise.

There is so little besides love that I can provide for my daughter. Getting healthy foods in her and rehydrating her and being there when she wants to talk about the accident is where I am at. Today her Dad celebrated his 40th birthday. She began to get grumpier and grumpier as the day wore on. So excited was she for his birthday that she got up at 6:30. Now she sleeps and we all breathe a sigh of relief.

Feb 23, March 3, March 10 - all days of medical stuff. Testing, endoscope, surgery in that order.

I am taking my vitamins and loading up on protein. My knee did not do well with the cortisone and now my foot is turning in on itself and swelling. I need to get to the doctor but there is so much to do. I feel as if I jumped down from someplace high. That shock kind of feeling.

I am full on with my med transcript course. As soon as I finish this up they will find me a job and then I can pursue the writing dream without worrying about finances. That said, I plan on enrolling in college for my next degree in the Fall. I love student loans, keeps me afloat. I love taking classes and learning new things.

I am a laid back kinda person, happy and amused, I am a giver and a pleaser. I like my vacations like I like my men, without agendas. I am such a planner that waking up without a plan is a good growth experience.

I spend all my days planning, orchestrating the lives of 3 other people plus 5 cats and 3 dogs. On top of my work and irregular play.

I took the best nap while on vacation. It was so nice. I put earplugs in my ears and the sun permeated my cold self and warmed me up. I know what it is like to be sun kissed, all over.

So right now I am booting up, gotta walk through the pain and stop the narcotics, though relief is good and being able to walk is also a good thing.
