You are missed.DreamOfSun said:Hi everyone...
I just wanted to take a minute to stop in and say hello. I miss you guys! Things have been busy here... my daughter is not doing well. She has had four episodes of vomiting (for 5 days each time) in the past two months. I took her to a pediatric GI doctor this past Friday, and she goes in for the whole barium/upper GI test on Thursday. She has had to have her blood taken a couple of times... she is such a trooper. Needless to say, I am very worried about her and nervous and probably a bit irrational on top of that. She has lost a lot of weight and is just not herself lately.
There are some things going on in my personal life as well that need my attention, but it is hard right now.
I hope you are all doing well and things are working out for everyone.

I am sure you are very relieved. I will keep good thoughts that her health continues to improve. 
Sorta!! Its wonderful to see you.sortacurious said:Holy Cow!
Seems there's been a lot of changes around Lit! I'm trying to figure out how to navigate it now.
I guess that's what I get for being away so long.
Danny and I are doing great. We've made some major changes in our lives (work-wise) over the last few months, which took us through some lean times in order to be better off in the long run. Everthing has fallen into place wonderfully now and we seem to be all caught up. In the meantime, we kinda had to be strict with ourselves and let a few things go, like internet access.
Now we are both working together at a great office. He managed to get me hired on as his assistant his 2nd week there. I'm so proud of him...they were so impressed with him in such a short amount of time they offered whatever he needed to help him keep up all his good work...so they hired me and matched his pay!! Woohoo!
This is also making wedding plans realistic. So, starting now, I get to be bridal again.
My mom had some serious health issues in the months following my brother's loss, which ended in a hospital stay (long story). And I was very wrapped up in worrying for her for awhile, but all is much better there now too.
So, it's been a year and 8 months (give or take) since I packed all my belongings into storage and moved away from N. Calif. to the Bay Area and then ultimately all the way to Florida. I came here with what I could fit in two suitcases and mailed myself two other boxes of junk I'd accumulated in the couple of months with my family. Everythings been in storage since. Well, it still is...but we finally had it brought here! I'm so happy and thrilled and relieved. Now the task of sorting through it all and holding a great big yard sale to get rid of all that Danny and I have replaced since I've been here. But still it's gonna be like Christmas to go through it all.
I think of you all often, and hope to be able to check in more often now that we're back up and running. As my family you are each in my prayers all the time!
I'm glad things are much better with your mom -- you have suffered such great loss already I am glad you did not have to endure another so soon (or at all!)I can't believe you kept Sierra in storage!!!!naughtygirl said:Sorta!!

I totally relate to the unpacking thing. Nigel and I went back to Texas in January and finally collected all of my things out of storage and got my dog. Its been an absolute joy to have my dog back! And it was like Christmas to find things that I had packed away so long ago too. Its helped to make me feel like our new house has "both of us" in it. But it took me a good month to get through it all. So I empathize....
It's wonderful to hear how good things are. We've somewhat been living parallel lives the past year and I'm glad that we are both in great places!

I was going to say all three of us were living in parrallel universes until you mentioned you got through ALL your boxes! GEEZ, we still havent after 3 years! LOL,keep finding something else to do!
On the job front,I took a job that doesnt pay anything just to have some funds coming in and contribute to our household income until I find something better!
Now, if someone gives me a penny for my thoughts it would double my income!![]()

Way to go Oman. I'm in a deadend job at the moment too. I'm wanting to go back to school for computer science and then look for a better job. Until then, I'm suplamenting my income by building computers for people I work with. That helps.omahaman2 said:On the job front,I took a job that doesnt pay anything just to have some funds coming in and contribute to our household income until I find something better!
