My Single Mom Life

I just fixed my AC again.
It's always dripping, well not always, just sort of randomly drips, makes my carpet underneath it all wet, then I have to fix it.
I've become quite good at repairing electronic stuff, home appliances, plumbing.
I'm a Jackie-of-all-trades.
Ha!

I'm sitting on a ton of emails and comment replies, I am sorry for that.
I have a lot going on and I hope that after tomorrow I can explain it all, and laugh at how stupid I was worrying so much, or I'll have some major news to break.
We'll just have to wait and see.
In the mean time, I'm taking out piercings, and removing jewelry.
I know this routine by heart.

I wish I had some mind blowing something or other to say, something other than all this medical garbage that I'm so sick of talking about, that I'm sure others are sick of reading it.
Man, I really wish this wasn't the all-consuming piece of crap that has taken over my life.
I'm trying so hard to just get through a single hour of any day, without thinking about it, having to call about it, deal with it, worry about it, and talk about it.
I had the surgery so I could get back to life, and here I am, almost 2 years later, still stuck in medical mode.
I need to get out of it and get back to living mode.

But Mark told me something tonight that made me feel a bit better.
He said, "Mom, sometimes you're gonna have to be down in order to get back up."
And I know he's right.
Sometimes you have to get thrown off the horse, fall off the bike, come down from where you are, in order to find your way back up.
So this is my down time, and here's looking at my up time.
