2/24/12 The Good, The Bad, The....Bored?

Hi readers!

First things first-  my mom had a PET scan and a bone scan this week and they both came back negative!  As of right now she is CANCER-FREE!!!!  I'm so excited.  She will do 6 weeks of radiation therapy and maybe some other treatment, but this is very good news.  So far, no chemo...*sigh of relief*

Now the bad...I am not getting the condo.  I should say, not getting THAT condo.  As we all know, Mardi Gras just passed and the one parade I really make a big deal out of is Spanish Town.  This year I had my tutu, a big shiny pink plastic boa, and I even made my own pink and white feather headband.  Well, it POURED on the Saturday of the parade.  My father, ever the cautious one, said to my mom "let's go check out the place while it's raining.' Lo and behold, the condo was full of water.  And mold.  The problem was not flooding, rather that the ground outside was above the slab.  The rain water was draining into the apartment, rather than away from it.

I was heartbroken!  Devastated!  But also feeling pretty fortunate that we uncovered this problem before I signed the papers!  I just keep going back and forth between feeling really sad and feeling really happy that I dodged a bullet.  I mean this place was beautiful, in our price range, etc etc and I'll admit I got my hopes up a little bit.  Oh well.  There is most likely another place out there with my name on it.

More good news:  I am officially done with DWI court!  I was arrested in 2008 and have been in and out of court for almost 4 years.  Well folks I completed everything the judge asked me to do, paid all of my fines, and on Ash Wednesday was officially DONE!  Feels like winning the lottery.

So, work isn't crazy anymore!  Yesterday was my first day after King cake season and I was almost literally yawning all day long!  That was certainly not expected.  I guess I'll start finding things to lean- I mean CLEAN..yeah that's it....clean.  Heh.

Til next time, happy reading!
