Update

Thing are progressing very nicely. It’s been 3 days since I made my final decision and I already have 2 people interested in buying the house. It’s not even listed on the market. Mom, while hesitant at first, seems to have come around to the idea. She called me the other day asking me if I was still coming to my high school reunion. “Ummm, Yes. Why?” I was waiting for the “you shouldn’t be spending money when you won’t have a job soon” speech, but it never came! Instead, she told me to bring the dog. She would take care of him until I came up. That would make showing the house, packing, and moving easier on me. What a nice thought, although secretly I think she just really wants the dog to come and if she has to put up with me to have him, she’ll do it! Did I mention that before my niece was born, Mom used to mail the dog presents? She really needs someone to take care of. I feel bad for Daddy when he retires! On another note, I went to the Doctor today for a physical. No big deal. I figure I should visit my doctors and dentist while I still have health insurance. Well, this was a new doctor because my old doctor left town a while ago. I was actually due for a check up anyway. She was really nice and made me feel so comfortable. I was kind of thinking, I wish I weren’t leaving so that I could keep seeing her. Oh well. Anyway, we chatted for a while and then she did her check up of me. She said my blood pressure was high. She was a bit concerned about it. I told her about all the stress at work, which is probably causing it. See why I gotta go! I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if it’s any better. After feeling my throat, she questioned me about recent weight gain/loss. She was concerned about my Thyroid. No one has ever mentioned my thyroid to me before. She said not to be too concerned until we get some blood work done. That means I have to get blood drawn in the morning! I HATE NEEDLES!! But if it is my thyroid, at least I’ll know why it’s sooooo hard for me to lose weight and why my hands are always cold. I’m not going to think about it for the next two weeks. I have too many other things going on.
