Survey says... No Stroke... No Diabetus!!

I don't have to check my blood sugar and check it often!

I had a lovely time with Alice and Matt at Red Robin! Thank you guys for stopping and seeing me out here. I enjoyed having a fun dinner with friends. Good luck with your wedding and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with on that!

I had my vacation last week. I wasn't feeling well - my legs hurt. My health insurance has a 800 number that has nurses on call. You tell them your symptoms, and they give you health advice. I told them about my legs hurting, and the stroke-like symptoms I had a few years ago and she told me to see a doctor in the next 4 hours.

Raffy came home and took me to the Med Clinic. It's a place where college students and people go for convenience, without the high prices. The doctor ran a bunch of tests on me, and I had an EKG on my heart. Everything came out normal - no diabetes, and my heart was fine. The next day I had a referral to have a CG scan on my brain, and that came out normal...

Meaning I never had a stroke! I'm so happy! I think it was just a vitamin deficiency from dieting without taking vitamins. I got myself some One-A-Day weight loss, and I have a doctor's appointment June 2 to talk about my symptoms. It's probably because at my weight I am at the gateway to obesity and I want to discuss with my doctor a weight loss plan. I may even look into a gym membership since I'm moving closer to the better side of town.

I rested on vacation, and I got some things packed up for the move. One of my coworkers used to live in a place that she loved, and it's only 3 miles from my work. It's called Sugar Hill apartments, and I looked at their website. She highly recommended it, and I sent them an e-message that I was interested. Their prices are affordable, and we may even get a bigger apartment.

I'm glad Mom liked her M-Day present. It was just the right timing, and I'm glad she wore it to her graduation. I'm happy she finished her goal. She may not have much trouble finding a job in Europe. One of Raffy's cousins just finished getting her Master's and she's in Spain teaching ESL. Good luck to you, Mom, and I know you can achieve your goals!

I finished my first game of Harvest Moon today. I got a good rating and my friends showed up at my house. Raffy is very interested, and started his own game. I started a new one too, and I'm probably going to go play that now until I pass out...

I love 3 day weekends!!!

Vacation at Last

Hi guys. I'm doing great. I am going on Vacation from work for 3 days next week, Wednesday through Friday. I can't wait to finally rest from my job and enjoy a great 5 day weekend!

Raffy and I have located some apartments we are interested in closer to our work places, and we're going to move at the end of November. I am looking forward to getting out of here. There was a shooting at my apartment over a drug deal the other day, in the buildings behind our apartment. A guy was buying drugs, then he ran from the dealer, and the dealer shot him in the stomach. Then he called an ambulance, and Raffy and I saw the ambulance show up. The apartments let us know what happened the next day, and we realized then it is a done deal - we're leaving!

When we first moved here, it was great. There weren't any residents that were lower class people. Even if they were, they were decent people making a living, not useless and lazy people who do drugs. We have more of those kinds of residents these days, and all the good people moved away. I mean, it wasn't a dream place to live before, but our management team could be counted on. Our manager is gone due to health problems, and a new lady is in charge.

Hey Alice, are you in Atlanta? I was expecting you to stop by on your way. Please let me know if you would like to stay again. I understand if my stories make you want to go to a motel though! :D It's not like that every day, and we did enjoy having you here. The families across the way from us have moved out now, so we're having a breather from the pot smoking. Or if you decide for a motel, I would like to spend some time with you when you come through town, unless you're already in Atlanta! :D

I'm going to go through my apartment and get rid of alot of junk. That way when we move, there won't be so much stuff to transport! I'm thinking about donating my things to a battered women's shelter downtown. That way I know my things are going to a good cause!

I'll keep updating. Sometimes it is hard to find time to write, but things are slowing down more for me. Hope everyone is doing great!
