wild ride

Hello World! It's good to be seen by you all again.
I don't have access at work to be about to write blog post anymore, oh so sad :(
Chef had a kidney stone last fall...that was an event! He says he now has a better understanding of what women go through in childbirth! He was really miserable and the pain continued for some time. After he was diagnosed we realized that he had likely been having problems with it for about a month prior to detection.
I had an amazing Christmas with my family...hopefully I can get some pictures up of the Boy for you all to enjoy.
Since then life has been a crazy crazy ride.
Chef got FIRED from his job in late January. He had been in pain early in the morning and neglected to send a warmer with the plates to the memory care unit. Apparently this was the second such time the warmer was not sent so he got fired. I'm not sure if him telling them of his diagnosis and pain would have even matter I think they were looking for any reason to get rid of him.
He has since applied for a variety of jobs had only two interviews and is currently still unemployed.
Chef's uncle created a bit of drama about Chef's mom about Chef not "stepping up to help" Chef's mom also recently had back surgery, we need to go and see her but there isn't the cash to make it happen.
Big dog got out of the house this weekend when someone knocked and we weren't home. He did end up biting the person but from what I am hearing the individual is doing fine and it appears the bite was minor. THANK GOODNESS.
My car needs fixed...check engine light has been on for quite a while (it's just the yellow one not the red one)...I need to get it fixed though.
With Chef out of work and obedience classes for the dog along with all our other scheduled monthly bills the car doesn't fit into the necessity box at this moment...at least I can walk or ride my bike to work if it decides to die!
I've been traveling like a crazy woman for work. Don't get me wrong I love to travel for work but it gives me NO time to complete the paperwork, answer questions, and all round do the desk part of my job.

At the end of the day though I try to keep the above in perspective. We have enough money to get buy and aren't donating blood/plasma/or other bodily fluids to get by. We are able to eat, have our cars, and the roof over our heads. I'm able to work and have a job I love. Chef is for the most part doing really well health wise. Yeah he has had some issues over the last 6 months but in general he is doing well. Life could be much much worse.

I didn't proof read this post so if it's really bad SORRY!
