Well, the Relay For Life went absolutely wonderful. The weather was mild, slightly damp, but not hot. It rained a little bit, but nothing we couldn't handle. I managed to walk much more than I did the previous year, that was good. I don't have the totals yet, but I think our team raised over $5K! And we had fun!
I had my "annual" check-up today (women, you know what this means - men, you'll just have to wonder). The doctor wants to take me off my depoprovera shots and it worries me. She wants to see if I am menopausal (sorry men who may be reading this). I don't care if I am, I just like not thinking about it!! But she won the arguement and so off I go. If I turn into a screaming banchee, you'll know why!
This is also my birthday weekend! Going to be turning over to the big 5-0 on Sunday. Yikes! I remember when I thought that was old. Now it seems..well, it still seems old, but like something I shouldn't be! At least I feel better than I did when I turned 40. Healthier. And that alone is cause to celebrate! I'm having a big party that I planned myself on Sunday. I didn't want to have to deal with the "surprise" parties that may come at those significant ages, so I figured this would prevent that. I've rented a park and have brats & burgers to grill and about 50 friends/family are supposed to show up! Sunday is also supposed to be the hottest and most humid day of the ENTIRE YEAR so far - doesn't that just figure!? I hope to stay cool and have lots of fun!!
And one more new bit of news: I am going to go back to school! Found out that a Federal program (TAA) will pay 100% of my schooling for 3 years. In addition, if I am a full-time student, they will extend my unemployment for 3 years as well. Can't pass it up so I am going for it! I'll keep you posted (and when I say "you" I mean any stray person who may still be reading this - hello?! Are you out there?!).
Life if like a box of chocolates...and I prefer the caramels!
