Life is Good
You know how you wait and wait for something and then as it gets closer you can't believe it has finally happened?
We go on our cruise in 17 days. I booked it in May.
I'm soooooooooooooooooooo excited. W00t.
I got an A in my class last semester. This semester I am taking 2 classes, Intro to Information Organization and Retrieval and Introduction to Information Technology. They are a lot more hands off then my last class... you have to pace yourself, there isn't anyone looking over your shoulder. I have to take a test on Thursday and we leave on Saturday, but it will be worth it.
Jason and I are still doing well...he's cut back on the contact with his family, and I think he is better off. He is happier at work too, which is good. We had a good time over the holidays with my family.
Work is okay...I don't hate it...but there are days I wish I was in school full time. I've pretty much decided after the next fiscal year (October 1) I'm going to leave my job. That way I can get my degree a little sooner and get on to doing what I really want to do.
The thing I'm the most pleased with right now (other than the Caps...woooo!!! Winning is so much better than loosing) is the results I've seen from regular visits to the gym. My clothes fit better, I have more muscle tone and energy. I found a class called Bodukon, which combines martial arts and yoga that kicks my butt once a week. It's awesome...I sweat like a pig.
My Grammy is now moved into the Alzheimer's wing at the nursing home. Dad and Ima are going up next weekend to divide up her stuff from her apartment. I've accepted that she is pretty much gone, but I miss her. I have a lot of hand written cards and letters I have kept over the years and I have been reading them. She was so active only 10 years ago. Tresure the times you have with the people you love, because before you know it...they are gone.

Yay! Glad things seem to be going so well for you, Debs. It's nice to read good news! :-)
Yay for the cruise and getting an A! I'm also glad to hear that things are going well with Jason.
I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's a few years ago. I'm sorry you are going through that.
{{hugs}}
Alzheimers is so difficult for the family. Thank goodness it's not as hard on the patient.
You will have so.much.fun. on your cruise! I'm so excited for you!
Hooray for all the Good News, Debs! Have fun on your cruise!!!
Alzheimer's scares the pants off me! I have watched an aunt and 2 former neighbours go down that rabbithole and it's a trip I never want to make. Even though they seemed to spend much time in their own private Wonderland, I really prefer this world right here!
I have many letters my mom wrote when she was still alive. They are treasures.
Glad to hear you are getting results at the gym.. guess one has to GO to the gym for one to see results, eh? (yeah.. as if that'll happen..)
I'm sorry to hear about your Grammy. My grandma passed away this last year.. I got to spend time with her - but she wasn't the same. I don't know if they really labled her as Alzheimer's, but more of just dementia. I was sad to lose her, but I know she was tired, and ready to go!
(hugs)
