Yes, I've Been MIA
I have seriously been MIA the past several weeks. Life happened. I had to deal with settling assets and debts with my now ex-husband. Actually, we are still waiting for the judge to sign the darn papers! That whole ordeal was very stressful. Of course, stress and chronic health conditions don't mix, so I've had a lot of pain to deal with. I had taken a short break from school to get me through the divorce process with a little less stress. My next class is 3 weeks in, now. I'm doing okay with it, but it is very time-consuming. My Mom got extremely sick and spent a week in the hospital. Thankfully, she is healing nicely and will have surgery on Dec 4th. She's such a strong woman. Her story is amazing, even to me!
I have started physical therapy to get my muscles moving. I'm praying this will help with the fibromyalgia! I will be getting 2 ganglion nerve blocks in my face sometime before the end of the year. I'm terrified yet excited about the possibility of waking up without a headache every morning!!
I found employment to tide me over until I get my websites running more efficiently and bringing in money. I will be working for Amazon as a customer service rep. It is a work from home job and part time, so it will work well for me. I'm excited to be gainfully employed again...even if it is for another company. I will get to the point where I won't have to do that, but it's down the road a bit and I know that.
I started my first novel! I'm very excited about that!! It's something I've wanted to do forever. I'm also volunteering to help write a TV show based in MN. I can't give any more details about that, yet...but as soon as I get the ok, I'll be blasting it all over the place!! I'm very proud to be doing it!!
There's the update on me and what has been going on! I need to get moving on a few websites!! =)

Hi Valerie - Great to catch up with you again. I was thinking about you recently and imagined that you would be really busy, but I didn't expect that you would have so much going on as you have written about. I'm sorry you have been experiencing so much stress and health issues.
It's good though that you have that job with Amazon. And writing your novel - WOW you are a true inspiration. I wonder how you can pack so much into your days. And then TV...... What more can I say!!
Well what I can say is - Be Kind To Yourself - and let good things come your way. You deserve much happiness.
Take care :)

Valerie Joy,
I take breaks as I need them. Plus I get doing too much and spend a week or two just resting and doing the bare minimum on what I think is most important! I think I would go crazy otherwise. My daughter is in school and works several evenings a week. If I didn't keep busy one way or another, I'd start talking to the walls. It's bad enough that my daughter teases me for talking to the cats!!
I hope all is well with you!! I'll pop over to your page sometime this week!!!
There's nothing wrong with talking to the cats. I do it all the time - my cat expects me to!!

Good to see you back and hope things go well for you and your mum and you both see an improvement in your health
Thank you so much, KatieMac!! Lots of prayers have been said for her and will continue! I went to a new physical therapy clinic today and I really enjoyed it...except the pain! =) It was aqua aerobics and I really hope they pay off. My body needs to get used to doing those types of things!!
That is the only type of activity I am allowed and I do enjoy aqua aerobics it is easier on the body and I have a swim afterwards, hope it goes well
