I don't know why it's so hard for me to sit down and write a blog, but it's been almost a month since I've written.
Honestly, not too much has happened in a month...
Cam and I have been gearing up for Christmas and I've been getting closer to finishing my job at Cold Stone and starting my new job at the hospital.
I've started hormone injections (into my stomach) so we will see if they will help at all.
I can't wait for Christmas! We are having dinner at our house this year. Cam has to work that night and we found it easier to have it at our house. We are excited to be bringing Nanny MacQueen back to our house after Christmas Eve. She has never been to our house and I know she is so excited to be spending the holidays with everyone.
Since Mack ruined our couch by licking himself on it, we decided to have it professionally cleaned before company came over. We got an indoor electric sensor so he can't go on it anymore as well as another one upstairs so he can't go in the cats' room! Poor pup-pup was so sad when he couldn't get on the couch. :(
I am so looking forward to my Iphones coming in the mail! I got one for Cam for Christmas and one for myself haha. A girl at work told me about this awesome site that sells Iphone accessories for much, much cheaper than getting them at Verizon.
If I don't get a chance to blog in the next couple of weeks...
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
Happy New Year :)

Feeling Better
Since my last post I am feeling a lot better!! I was on medicine and my cough is almost gone. Nighttime is still the worst, but at least I'm sleeping better now. I did have a new development...bruised ribs. I thought they were cracked, but my x-ray didn't show anything. It's still painful when I cough, but not as bad anymore either.
I had a really nice Thanksgiving! First, Cam and I went over to our friend Laurel's house for brunch and then headed to NJ for dinner at Joanne's (Cam's Mom). My parents and his sisters joined us and we all had a really great meal together. Cam had to work that night so we headed home early.
I've had a lot of days off since Thanksgiving. Because of the holiday the order didn't come to the store and we ran out of product so I couldn't make anything. It's nice to have off and be home, but obviously I'm not getting paid and that sucks. I'll be going back to work tomorrow and I know I'm going to have a ton to do...
On a happy note. I got the medical receptionist job!! I went for my second interview and she told me I got the job right away! I got another tour of the building and sat with the girls at the desk for a little bit. I am soooo excited! I start January 4th and it's going to be great! I'll be telling my boss tomorrow about the good news for me, bad news for him, but I'm giving him a month's notice!
This morning I woke up and went upstairs to feed the cats. When I opened the door Apollo had a mouse in his mouth. I freaked out and went to wake up Cam to help me, but Apollo hates him and would never listen to him so I had to do it. I got the roll of paper towels and went back upstairs to get the mouse. When I went back up he wouldn't put it down so I got their food to get him to put it down while he ate. I went back over the gate and Apollo put it down and it ran (I thought it was dead...I don't know why he didn't kill it).
So now I don't know where it is...if it ran back out or what. I was freaking out and crying so hard that I got sick to my stomach. I HATE mice!! Yuck! I let Mack in the room where it was and was sniffing around like he was on the hunt. Terriers are rat hunters so I thought that if he couldn't find it then it probably left again. We shall see. I will be making a trip to get some traps tonight and I'll be hoping and praying to God that was the only one!!
I'm looking forward to feeling better each day and I even started walking/running again this week. I'm starting back from the beginning, but it really feels great to get back outside and get some exercise!

Sick
I've been wanted to post for awhile now, but I've been really sick.
I said in the last blog that I was sick for my Halloween Party. I went back to the doctor the next day and was the first and only one there. I still waited for a hour and a half. After all that the 2 idiots (they were more worried about giggling about the computers than helping me) said that I had nasal drip. I had a horrible fever that night and decided to go back to the doctor the next day. This time I saw a different doctor and when I got there I had a 102 fever. She examined me and said I had Asthmatic Bronchitis. It was viral so they couldn't give me anything except some cough syrup to help me sleep.
I was still getting the fevers and not feeling any better. I had to take the whole week off and got so much grief about it (for God's sake I was freaking sick) so that didn't help either. I had to go to work on Saturday and I felt completely awful. I went to work this Monday and then on Tuesday I searched for a new doctor. I wanted a second opinion on my illness.
Cam and I wanted a more intimate, family practice and that's what I found. I made an appointment and went to see if they could tell me anything different. Plus number 1: I didn't wait very long in the waiting room and about 20 minutes in the exam room. The doctor was very nice. She asked me a million questions and then did an exam. She listened to my lungs and said, "I'm almost 100% sure that you have pneumonia, but I want to send you for a chest x-ray just to be sure."
She listened to my lungs...3 other doctors from the other place listened to my lungs and they heard nothing...needless to say I will never be going there again. So I got an x-ray and it showed that I had pneumonia in my lower right lung. I had to take Wednesday off to rest, but I was back to work on Friday...and my friend had her last day of work that day. :(
Today, I had work all day. I'm feeling a little better. Still hacking my lungs out not being able to breathe very well. I made it through the work day and I'm looking forward to relaxing tomorrow and hopefully feeling better each day.

Halloween Party
Well, this week started out normal enough. I worked on Monday, ran my errands on Tuesday, and worked on Wednesday as well as sitting at the service station for 2 hours with Cam's truck as a favor to him.
Thursday, my sickness started. It was just a cough and a runny nose, but then turned into a fever and nightmares. I honestly can't remember what I did on Thursday, but I called off from work on Friday to try and rest up for my party. I drank 5 huge cups of tea and took hot showers. I thought I would feel better in the morning, but after another sleepless night I still felt horrible.
Yesterday, I had to be at work at 10am. I woke up with Cam (It's his Drill weekend) and took some dayquil and had a banana to get something in my stomach. I ended up having a choking spell and thew up. I had to go to work b/c I'm manager on Saturday. Thank goodness there wasn't too much to do and after I finished all my cakes, I literally got a blanket out of my car and napped on the ground in the back.
The girl I worked with made me a milkshake and aside from drinking half of that, a cup of tea, and 3 bites of a bagel I couldn't eat anything else. I went home and took another hot shower to try and kick out the cold. I ended up getting sick again (probably from the dairy) and then I took and half hour nap before getting ready for the party.
When I woke up, I got dressed (I changed my outfit to just leggings, a fancy top, a huge fake ring and glitter heels and said I was Khloe Kardashian. My Gaga outfit was too cold and I couldn't wear it. But, I put on my glitter eyelashes and did my make-up big. Cam and I put the finishing touches on everything before the guests arrived.
The party was a success! Everyone brought great food (which I was hopefully feel good enough to try tonight...all I ate last night were crackers, pretzels, toast, and sherbet) We had a pong tourney going on and everyone seemed to have a good time. Too bad I felt so horrible, but all and all it was a fun night.
I actually got a really good night's sleep last night. The extra hour helped too! I woke up feeling a little better. I had a mug of tea and then switched to ginger ale and soup and crackers. I did some cleaning up and catching up on my tivo and now I'm going to take a little nap until Cam gets home from Drill.
I hate to say it, but I didn't take any photos. Bad Krystal, I know. It really was a good time though. Thanks to everyone to came and brought such yummy food! :)

Snow. Massive Amounts of Snow.
Happy Halloween!!
Well, my Halloween party never happened. We got hit with a major nor'eastern. Pretty much out of nowhere. When I planned the party I never thought I would be fighting with a snow storm. And I honestly didn't think that we would get as much snow as we did. I thought maybe a dusting or a little accumulation, but nothing like we actually got.
I had work all day on Saturday and while at work mad the decision to cancel the party. Too many of the guests were coming from far away and the weather was already pretty bad by noon. It killed me to have to cancel, especially since I had cooked all the food that morning and everything was all set up in the house. But, I had to think of everyones safety.
I'm planning a re-do for this weekend and hoping the weather cooperates this time!!

Praying
Well...another week has gone by.
I am now taking 3 hormone pills, 3 times a day. Joy Joy. Nothing new to report until I go back to the doctor...which isn't until my cycle starts again so we can start the blood work and ultrasound process again.
Cam and I are both up for new jobs. I think we will both be finding out around the same time if we got them or not (First week of Nov). I went for my interview last Thursday and Cam had his on Wednesday. He said his went very well. Mine went pretty good, as well. I was so nervous. This was my first "real" interview. I got a tour of the hospital and where I would be working. Then, I got to sit and watch the receptionist and see what exactly is done day to day.
It is very fast-paced, but I definitely think I can handle it. I am just dying waiting to find out. I'm hoping to get a second interview and ultimately get the job.
My Mom and I went to a baby shower yesterday. It is just so hard to go to something like that. Some people don't understand, but it absolutely kills me. Not only was the girl the shower was for pregnant, but 2 other family members were pregnant there (One I found out about that day). It just sucks because you want to be happy for them, but you just can't be.
Early Friday morning, I stubbed my toe so hard that I thought I broke it. I'm pretty sure now that it isn't broken, but it's very sore and bruised and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose the nail. What a pain for such a small toe. I'm such a clumsy mess haha.
I am very excited for this weekend!! Cam and I are throwing our first Halloween Party at the house. I am dressing as Lady Gaga and Cam is being Pauly D!! Our costumes are great and I can't wait to have a good time with some friends and family. My one friend who I grew up with and don't see often anymore is coming!! I can't wait!! I will post photos after the party! Here's a treat of Mack's costume!! (Hugh Hefner haha too cute!)

So I haven't blogged in awhile again...
Nothing good to report. I've been officially diagnosed with PCOS. I'm not responding to the hormones I've been taken. I'm now on 2 different types of hormones (And they make me nauseous as hell) and hoping something works. If not, next step is injectable hormones. (I am terrified of needles) Our insurance decided that one we try IUI, if it doesn't work, they won't pay for any other testing to try it again. In other words, we will have to pay every time I go to the doctor for blood work, etc. That will not be cheap.
Cam and I have both applied for new, better jobs! Crossing our fingers that one or both of us gets them!!
I am very excited for our Halloween Party coming up! I'm going to be Lady Gaga and Cam is Pauly D! Hahaha, I think it's going to be really fun! I just found out that one of my childhood friends is coming and I literally cried when I found out! I got Mack a Hugh Hefner costume...it's so cute haha!
I will post some photos when I get the costumes and once the house is decorated!!
