stories of a real life wonder woman

After being at mom and dad's since Thursday night I am back at my place. And even though it isn't that far away it is always hard to come back. Even though I really do love my job it is hard to come back. And every time I leave mom and dad's house to head back here I feel like I could cry the whole way home and I have to tell myself I can't or I won't be able to drive. Being away from my family sucks. I am not a person who always handles that well. And so I am constantly having to remind myself to focus on the positives of not living in the same town as them. So instead of continuing to think about how it sucks to be away from my family here are some of my favorite things form the last few days... - Watching the parade (as always) and my sister and brother-in-law coming over to watch it. Also explaining to my brother-in-law who doesn't often watch the parade that yes the singers are lip syncing and yes they suck at it but that's part of the fun. - Mom bei...

You know how last week I posted about work, my place, and my doctor's appointment? Here's an update on those things. My blood work came back and my creatinine is back down. It's .83 which is really good. Which means I don't need to do a biopsy. So basically I need to remember to drink water while I am at work. At work I felt like God was playing a practical joke on me at first because Monday and Tuesday when I went into work I had more projects added to my list of projects to do. That ended up being more frustrating than anything. Sometimes I think my boss wants to to get projects done right away which frustrates me because I work out front where my job above everything else is to help people. This means I can't always get projects done right away. But most of the time she doesn't expect me to get projects done right away. Most of the time she just figures you have time at night and I trust you will get these done. On a bit more positive note I think I have ...

This week has been tough on many levels. At work I have been having a hard time relaxing and not getting overwhelmed and stressed by all the things that come across my desk. I am in the middle of multiple projects and that can be nerve wracking for me because I would rather just have one project going at a time so I feel like I can give it my full attention. I know that having multiple going is normal but I am still learning to not put crazy expectations on myself about having them all done right away. If you think of it pray that I would calm down and not put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. At my house I am having a really hard time with my landlord. As many of you may know the power went out Wednesday night because of a storm that went through. I was at work at the time which was a little nerve wracking. I did have a lot of people there looking out for me including one of the night janitors who came up to check on me after the lights flickered. Then Thursday morning I d...

This week has been hard. Work has been stressful and crazy in part due to my inability to relax about things and in part due to mistakes made by people in my department that have upset everyone because they effect more than just us. That has been fun to deal with and I have been exhausted this week. On the bright side I got a great haircut this week! And my ultra-sound went well with nothing something up on the ultra-sound. Though we still don't know for sure why my blood work looks the way it does its nice to have that out of the way. And momma and papa Kerr were in town yesterday on their way further south to see family and we went out for lunch. I always enjoy being around them as I believe that they and their boys are great at accepting people as they are. Also we had some delish pizza at this place that my kidney doctor recommended I try. Now on to other things. I love this... Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,      because the ...

This week of work has me really worn out. The project I am working on became frustrating Friday. I think mostly because I needed a break from it so hopefully when I go back tomorrow I can get back into a good groove working on it. This weekend has been uneventful. I didn't do much but watch movies. I did explore the town a little more but not much. I also chickened out on going to church this morning. Gosh, going to church alone when you don't really know anyone there is hard. I mean I probably have been spoiled growing up in a church where everybody knows my name - I'm sure not everyone knows what that is like. But no matter what a new church is intimidating. I like the church I have been going to and people have been friendly to me but it is still taking a lot of courage on Sunday morning to decide to go. This morning I could not muster up that courage. In other news I played phone tag with my doctors nurse for a few days this week waiting to get the results from a rout...
