Life Happens Fast!

So much happens in between blogging. Good, bad, ugly, life, death and everything imaginable. Life happens so fast, it's hard to catch up and catch your breath sometimes. Since the last time I was here, my two younger sons have gone off to college. They are doing great and having a blast. It makes me happy, but the first week or so, I was moody and miserable. Now it's kind of exhilarating having the remote control all to myself. I started another new job in our school district. I now work in the Transportation Dept. Despite being cursed at and abused by parents of students pretty much on a daily basis...I love it! I work with wonderful people and you really feel like you are working together to accomplish something great & crazy at the same time. I got a new car in September, a 2012 Nissan Rogue. I love it. Believe it or not, it's been in the body shop since Monday being repaired. I should have it back on Friday. I didn't have that car for 48 hours when someone ran into it in the parking lot at my new job! No, it wasn't hit by a bus. I'm thankful that the woman who hit it came in and owned up to it. It sucked, but it will be good as new again. We put our house on the market in September, not because we want to move or down-size, but because it costs too much and since my husband's brain tumor was discovered in 2008, he has never worked again. Our income has decreased dramatically and, of course, the economy sucks & the recession drags on and on. I don't like people walking around my house, picturing themselves living in it. I really hate it, actually. I got my flu shot a couple of weeks ago. I must have been coming down sick, but didn't know it. The next day I was in excruciating pain and long story short, I just finished 10 days of the antibiotic Cipro. Did not like it at all. Still feeling crappy & sluggish but mostly pain-free. One day last week I was looking through my Facebook photos when it dawned on me that since being put on Prozac in the summer of 2011, I look completely different! My weight has gone up, up, up like crazy. Of course I'm aware of that, but I don't even look like the same person. I have not liked Prozac since the first day I started taking it. So, I have just stopped taking it since Sunday. Whatever happens will happen. That I know for sure. That's life.
