My Trip of a Lifetime

Well, my friends, I have some very sad news to report. My wonderful Mother-In-Law passed away this morning. I'm still trying to process the whole thing. My dad died 14 years ago at the beginning of December. So that wound that I have (and I thought was healed up) has been ripped open all over again. It's the hardest thing to deal with I think. It's hard because I hate seeing my husband hurt like he is. Please, dear readers, if you are the praying type, please pray for my husband and all of my in-laws as we go down this path. My husband has never had to attend a funeral. I have attended several. I can't really explain what to expect at the funeral, except to tell him to be ready for an influx of people, that lots of people will be crying and upset, that people will give him this really sad look. And lots of hugs. And lots of "I'm sorries" from people. The funeral should be some time at the beginning of this upcoming week. In the picture, going...

I work at Wal-Mart now. Not sure if I have written about this or not, so if I have, I'm sorry for the repeat. lol!!! Anywho, I work at Wal-Mart now. It's not bad at all. My job is phone operator/fitting room attendant. I also put up freight (new stock/items) in the lingerie and ladies sleep wear portion of ladies' wear. I am also cash register trained and I help in jewelry on occasion. Yes, it's a lot. Well, to some people it doesn't seem like it's a lot. Here's a rundown of what I have to do in one day: 1) Check for freight in the back. 2) If there is any for me, I pull it out to the floor. 3) Grab me a buggy (or cart) and get started on what I need to do. 4) After 2 hours, take a break. (FYI, we HAVE to take a break every 2 hours regardless.) 5) While trying to put out the new stock that I have, answer the phones and let customers in and out of the fitting rooms, while trying to count how many items each customer has, also while tryin...

Now that I have your attention with the title, I can now explain what I mean!!! lol Anyways, I had an appointment with an OB-GYN thru UAB. That's all great and wonderful...until I got their bill. My husband and I have now have Humana insurance. It's a PPO not an HMO, which basically means I can go anywhere just about. Apparently, an OB-GYN is a "specialty" doctor. I had to pay $128.56 for my visit. I had NO clue that I would get screwed over so badly by going to see a female doctor. Then today, I get a bill for 75 bucks and some change for apparently them sending my pap smear stuff to the pathology lab!!! WTF is this kind of shit??! Needless to say, I am NOT a happy fucking camper right now. If I knew that this was going to happen, I would not have even gone to see an OB-GYN. I would have found a regular doctor and had them do all the tests. At the same time, I'm not sure if they would have charged me for the pathology test. I know that I need one every th...

A good friend of mine, Andrew is his name, is a lieutenant with Birmingham Fire and Rescue here in Birmingham, Alabama. He was at a house fire when he passed out. Due to that, his breathing apparatus messed up, and he wound up with severe smoke inhalation. His throat and esophagus are burned as well. There is also some soot in his lungs still. I am asking for all that read my blog to please, please, PLEASE lift him and his family up in prayers. Andrew up for complete healing. Also for God to wrap his loving and strong arms around his wife, his 2 sons, and their families as they deal with Andrew being in the ICU, with a breathing tube in his lungs!!!!! He needs all the prayers that he can get for a speedy recovery. Thanks friends!!!

So, a lot of things have been going on in my life since I last blogged. Like what, you ask? For starter's, I lost my Job at UAB on September 24, 2015. That had to be the WORST day, well 2nd worst day, of my entire life. I felt like I had let not only myself down, but my husband and friends from UAB down. I was very depressed. I put out many applications. 50+ to be exact. Only had 3 people call me back. I didn't want to do much of anything. Fortunately, now I am working as a temp employee at a place called Vulcan Industries. Vulcan Industries is out in Moody, Alabama. We primarily do displays. The displays that I am working on are doorknob displays for Home Depot. we put several (between 10 and 2000+) together, pack them with the same kind of knob or deadbolt, and send them to the Home Depot distribution center. From there, they are separated into the separate orders for each store and then sent out from there. Do I love what I do?? You'd better believe it!!! Yes it ...
