Quick Update!

Once again I am here doing an “I’m Alive!” post.

I am doing fantastic! I spent what felt like months ignoring my face and only washing it with the mildest of soap. It looked so dull and miserable but I wasn’t breaking out anymore. Last week I decided to be brave and put make up on and that went quite well. So I figure my make up had nothing to do with my reaction. To be on the safe side, I switched my face wash to Neutrogena and I finally have my glow back. And still no rash!

As for my dad, he’s doing a lot better. The doctors are still clueless as to what is wrong but he is finally back at work. All I can do now is be grateful for the good news and not dwell on the fact that doctor after doctor is baffled. I often wonder what the hell doctors go to medical school for.

Overall though, life has never been better. I won’t get into all of the small details but I went through some personal crap that kind of forced me to reevaluate a few things.  I think sometimes in life, we get too comfortable. It’s really easy to just go day to day and forget the little things that matter. And it is amazing how those little things can cause such massive shock waves and bring everything crashing down.  But I survived and I am certain that those around me are better for it. I have never loved and appreciated my friends more.¹

While I was down and out with my personal crap, business took a step up. This years yellow pages came out and we are listed big and pretty in each city all across the metroplex. As they say in Bad Boys 2,  ”shit just got real“. It’s such an exciting time for us and I am actually looking forward to the chaos we are about to face. Hopefully we can do our part in helping the economy recover by hiring a few more employees.

So that’s been the past month for me. I am really looking forward to these summer months… hopefully Mother Nature or Father Winter will get the memo and realize I live in Texas and a snow storm at the end of March is not appreciated.  By any means. And on that note, I am off to live the good life, with hopefully a lot less drama and a lot more posts.

1. Seriously, thank you to each and every one of you who sat and listened to me cry, laugh, cry some more, scream, laugh again, and then cried some more as I struggled through the decisions I faced. Without you, I am sure I would still be in the fetal position somewhere trying to figure out up from down. I love you all!!!!!!! [↩]
