{ Life update }

Things here on my end have been stressful, not a good way to start out the new year :(  BUT I am holding my head high and standing my grounds no matter what.  I will fight for what is right.  I cannot go into detail but I have some issues at my work that I am having to resolve with the Union and it isn't going over very well. I will not go down without a fight.  When I know I am wrong then I back down and apologize and go on with my life,  but when I know I am right I do not give up without a HUGE fight.  So this fight is emotionally draining me and pretty stressful and makes the work environment pretty hostile. :(  But like I said I keep my head held high go to work and do my job and come home to my beautiful family.  That is the best I can do.

The family and I ( mostly me ) is looking to buy a horse,  No big rush. We are looking for the right one for our family.  It has to be one that the girls can handle and not a green broke one.  I want a mellow horse that I can teach the girls on from the ground work ( brushing, grooming etc. ) and work up to teaching them how to ride.  So this will eventually be a new edition to our family now that we have more than plenty room for one.

Steve's busy season for his business has started back up so he will be gone a lot again, working his events plus he has started the volunteer fire academy to become a volunteer out here in our fire district.  So yea he stays busy as usual.  This man NEVER wants to slow down.  And if he does it doesn't last long :(  But I am learning to take what time I get with him and let him do whatever he loves and go with it. :)

The girls are LOVING our new home and their new freedom to go outside without having me worry constantly.  At our old place I could never let me out with me standing in the middle of the road cause we were on a blind corner and people would fly around the corner.  Here we are behind a coded gate and they can go out and ride up and down the driveway and to the barn all day long and play outside all day without me having to worry about them being ran over by a car or abducted. So they are just loving it. That makes me happy.

And we are all enjoying our nightly sunsets when we are home in the evenings... this is one I captured last week.  It was amazing!!

{ I love my job }

On a somewhat slow but steady Sunday night things were going ok at work. I was in my favorite section with one of my favorite ambassadors and supervisors.  I was staying just busy enough to make the night go by fast, so my night was turning out to be a good one but got even better when I got a call on the radio and here is how it went:

Mari- Available ambassador section 6
Me- Go ahead
Mari- Can you go to bank 664-03 and ask Jenny if it is ok if a man by the name of Darryl comes over to see her.
Me- Copy- I will be just a minute I am 10-6 cashing a ticket
Mari- Copy thank you

Me- Ok Mari I am 10-49 to bank 664-03
Mari- Copy

I go to bank 664-03 and a blonde lady was sitting there I approached her and asked her if her name was Jenny and she said Yea, looking at me with a puzzled look.  I told her that there is a man by the name of Darryl who would like to come over and see her and she put her hands to her face and said OMG!  OMG!  That is my husband.  OMG!  I said ok! So is it ok?  She started crying.  I didnt know what to think. lol  She then told me that her husband has been away in Canada for 3 years on a job and she has not seen him in 3 years and she wanted to know how he found her.  I said I do not know but can he come over here and see you?  She said OMG yes of course he can.  So I call Mari on the radio.

Me- Judi to Mari
Mari- Go ahead
Me- Go ahead and bring that guest on over

Mari walks him over and Jenny just melts into his arms and is balling her eyes out.  It was soooo soooo sweet that he surprised her like that.  After she was done balling she asked him how he found her and he said he called her parents and they said she was out at the casino and he came out to the casino and walked around trying to find her but couldnt ( since it is so big now ) so he stopped Mari and asked to have her paged but we do not page anymore so Mari said she could look her up by players card number and sure enough it worked out great.  The happy couple went off and spent the night playing and having drinks together.  It was super sweet!  I had to hold tears back as well.

That totally made my night!!  :)   That is one night I could say I love my job!  lol

Vitamin D

A few days ago I sent my doctor an email telling him I was always tired and thought maybe my thyroid was low again and that it hadn't been checked in 2 years so I thought it was time.  He agreed.  I went in and did my blood work and he did a check on my thyroid, liver, kidneys, bone marrow, cholesterol and vitamin D levels.

Yesterday I received an email from my doctor telling me that my cholesterol is GREAT!  Keep up the good work, my thyroid, liver, kidneys, and bone marrow were within the levels they should be BUT my vitamin D level was extremely low.  It is suppose to be 50-75ng and mine is 12ng right now and he is pretty concerned about that because having low vitamin D can lead to bone issues, depression, fatigue (which I seriously have) and other issues.  So he prescribed 50,000iu of vitamin D supplement . WOWZA!  That is a high dose.  I cannot wait to start taking the supplement so I can start to feel better ... I am tired of always being tired.

So all in all my bloodwork was great news.  Once I get on my prescription of vitamin D and start feeling better I will be a happy girl. :)
