stories of a real life wonder woman

I know that might sound a little extreme and crazy and whatever but when you wake up in the middle of the night pooping blood after having already barfed up all the contents of your stomach and more it's easy to quickly think of extremes. So for those of you who are out of the loop... On Christmas after the merriment of the presents and food and everyone being around I started to not feel good while puzzling with the fam. It started with throwing up which then went to throwing up and diarrhea. The throwing up eventually turned into dry heaving and I thought the diarrhea had slowed down but then close to mid-night I woke up having to run to the bathroom to find that my diarrhea had turned red. How awesome right. Anyway we went to the ER and though pooping blood is definitely a get to the hospital now scenario the doctor in the ER said it was probably an infection of some kind and they called for an ambulance to come to take me to OSF. An ambulance coming calmed us down a bit beca

I was thinking that I was done with my to do list of the day and then I thought - oh yeah it's Sunday I need to write my blog. Gosh I should have written down my ideas for this week because now I am sitting here wondering what they were. I do know that I wanted to mention that I work with a lot of guys who have daughters that are around my age. I mention that because they check in on me to make sure I am doing ok. When I told one of them recently that I had  to try to fix my garage door he told me to ask him about that kind of thing. He said he could answer my questions and he lives close by so he could come look at it too if he needed to. Some of the other guys have offered similar things. It's nice to work with such caring people and I feeling like everyday I am seeing why when I first started everyone talked about how the college I work at is like a family. From what I have seen people at work like being around each other and want to help each other out. I think that'

I'm a bit at a lost of what to write today. Not much is going on here. I start early days tomorrow and since I have not been falling asleep before 2 in the morning most nights (I am in bed by 10:30 at the latest) I am not looking forward to having to get up earlier. But I will be able to keep busy during the day at work so hopefully that will help keep me from noticing how tired I am. Not many students will be in either since we just had finals. I am hoping that while they are gone I can get further on my projects to the point where I feel like I am getting somewhere but we will see. A little health update - I have been feeling sick to my stomach a lot recently. I'm not really sure why my body is acting up in that area. Nausea is not anything new for me but I still don't want to deal with it since some days it lasts all day. Church is still hard to go to since I still don't know anyone and I am really not outgoing enough to attempt to introduce myself to anyone. B

Gosh I have been a moody mess this week. Also I am finding that like normal I need to give myself a break. Because I expect myself to have more done or more figured out at my job. I was thinking about that this weekend. About the projects I wish I had done at work and then I remembered that mom wished me happy four months at my job. And all the sudden I was struck by what I do know about my job after only four months. That also reminded me that after being there only four months I have taken on a huge project that keeps growing. And instead of being down on myself I thought "I'm proud of me." I have learned how to do all sorts of new things and step outside of my comfort zone in so many ways. I mean I moved to a town that I had never been to before my interview about  four and a half months ago. That seems crazy to think about. Also crazy to think about is that I am making progress on a project that so many other people have not wanted to touch or have been at a lost of
