January 2010
Yeah...
Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was so stressed out at work that I had 7 canker sores in my mouth at one time? I have 2 right now. My current job is a lot like my first one out of college. A lot of work and I often have to stay late in order to get it done. Because of that I am getting canker sores from stress. I am not happy. I mean one is bad. Two is awful. I better not end up with 7...
ACK!
I’ve gained 10 lbs since the beginning of October. Of course if I really bust my ass I could lose that in a month. What the hell? Actually I know what it is. I’m eating horribly and not exercising. I should really be heavier. Thank goodness for my metabolism. Starting tomorrow Stacey will be drinking green tea, eating oatmeal for breakfast and salads with no dressing for lunch. And...

Today is the day, the doctors finally convinced my Aunt to shut the machines off. And where I am? I’m home because I’m too sick to go anywhere so now I can’t even say good bye to my Uncle. I’m devastated. My mom told me it’s okay and that I was there with him in life and I was a good niece but I wanted to be there today for him. Just one last time.

Saying Goodbye
On Saturday November 1st 2008 my Uncle Kevin died in an ambulance en route to Elmhurst Hospital. He had suffered a massive heart attack. He was revived a few minutes later in that ambulance, given a second chance at life. It is now January 7th 2010 and we are getting ready to say our final goodbye to my Uncle who never fully recovered from his ordeal. It’s been an agonizingly long 14 months....
Testing
Not sure how this works.
I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it, sooner or later.
