wow, my thought process is skippy tonight

So, it's been a while. Kody's been in and out of the hospital but holding his own. On some steroids to help him be strong enough to breathe on his own. yay. Had a transtrachial wash done to analyze what is in his lungs to get a better idea of how to treat it and we are still waiting final results. Next, if it's not tooooo expensive, would be a endoscopy to biopsy some lung tissue. I think it may be too much though. Fingers crossed we figure out what this is with the wash and culture.

Stephen Lynch next Friday!! Isaac is coming up for it and Chelle, him, myself and one other lucky friend are going. I'm so excited that I think I just peed my pants. False alarm, but still excited! It should be a good weekend.

I didn't go out this weekend. I'm sad for myself. I was getting so good. Maybe I'll actually get to make it to Trivia Night on Tuesday. I hope so.

Want to go camping. Might go, just me and Kody. Chelle has expressed interest and we have expressed interest in heading to Turner Falls. It's a great place to go, even in the heat of summer because the water is always cool.

Still no job, which is frustrating me to the frays of my rope. Target hasn't even called me back. I'm feeling depressed.

Shannon and Dack's wedding in June. I need to reserve a hotel room for that. It's in Katy. It's going to be a lot of fun.

My friend Kym has named me a bridesmaid in her wedding in November. Country. Might be wearing boot-scootin' boots. lol

I'm reading a lot of books but nothing of real substance. Sometimes that's a good thing.
Robert might come visit for Arts and Jazz Fest the last weekend of April. I really love him. One of my favorite people of all time. He has such a great transferrent energy that just by being near him makes you feel better. Awesome friend to have in your arsenal. If he doesn't come up for A&JF, maybe I'll head down to the airshow in Galveston.
On that note, I can't tell one of our friends that he's coming because she'll flip out and get jealous that he's coming for me and not her. And then she'll get suspicious. But is her suspicion valid if we keep it from her? (to ponder later)

Been learning a lot of random facts from Trivia Night and Trivial Pursuit but nothing I can remember the next night. Such a shame.

indescribable feeling

I thought I was over it but it has been brought to my ACUTE attention that that is not the case. I hurt. I can't push it back to the back of my mind anymore. It didn't even hurt this badly before. Just little things will bring it back to my attention and it's been one thing after another this week. Months of nothing and then BAM. I just want the pain to numb. I just want to be numb.
I've been abnormally short tempered with people who don't deserve it.
It shouldn't have meant this much! It didn't! I don't understand and I'm soo pissed off!! So angry that it affected me so much that months later, I'm not over it.
So pissed.

The test results are in...

The vet says that Kody's bloodwork came back clean so NO KIDNEY PROBLEMS!! He's just being affected by the rainy-ness. It's like putting a humidifier in a child's room to help them cough up the phlegm au natural. yay!
March Birthday Madness is hours away! Lasagna, Dr. Horrible, Hot Tub and something to do tomorrow (Six Flags is Plan A).

Don't you hate it when your kid is sick?

My Mr. Man, the Kodester, has been sick the last couple of days. Not really eating or drinking. His hacking, while much better these past few months, has kicked up. His throwing up this morning was from his stomach and not his lungs. I took him to the vet that we have up here. A stool sample was requested so I took him one. It was gold in color and that was concerning to the vet so he took some viles of blood to send to a lab for analysis. Gold is apparently sometimes indicitive of liver problems. =/ He was given some antibiotics and I was sent home with some anti-vomiting medicine. He's been very lethargic and I am, of course, concerned. Luckily I got him to eat some soft foods tonight and he's kept it down so there's progress. I'll update again when I get the results of the bloodwork.

These are the paper faces

As promised, albeit a little late, Masquerade Pictures! We had a lot of fun, even though more fun was had making the masks than attending the party. Everyone looked great and it was a fun time.

Quarter of a Century

So my 25th birthday has come and gone and was pretty uneventful. Big birthday dinner with the fam on Thursday and my dad bought me some rockin' lime green and brown cowboy boots for my dancing nights but they didn't fit so I had to return them. Sadness. I'm going to put that money towards new speakers for my car since they keep going out. Now that I have upgraded my stereo to an ipod capable player, I can do the speakers now without it being just silly.
Today was boring. I was trying to plan something to have friends meet me at the bar or come over to my house and was unsuccessful. Lame. I did, however, end up going to a Star Cinema Grill for dinner and a movie with Ariel, Chelle, Audrey and Ted. Ariel, Audrey and Ted brought my cards, cupcakes, a balloon and a Happy Birthday drape. Yay. The movie was the Watchmen. Not thrilled at all. I wanted to get up and walk out. Not really my cup of tea. There were some clever nuances that I appreciated but all in all, not for me.
Hopefully next weekend, when March Birthday Madness hits at Six Flags, it will just be AWESOME!
