I haven't blogged in 2 months!!!

Man, am I ever a slacker? I haven't logged onto my blog in like 2 months!! Needless to say it's been very, very busy. The good news is that in my 2 month absence, my car has been repaired. I really missed old "Black Attack" while she was in the shop; of course, I'm paranoid that it will happen again. If it does, you better believe I'm letting her burn to the ground though!! :D

In other news, the highway safety contract at my office is back so I can continue doing the job I love. If anyone needs anything highway safety related--I'm the gal to call. I've even had to learn about truck hitches AND how to back a trailer in the midst of this whole contract deal. But, again...I love it and I will not complain.

Also, being the total and complete nerd that I am, I've rediscovered my love for needlepoint. I highly recommend THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE in Lexington for all your needlepoint needs.

Now, onto other news...my dad has been really sick. He did so well with his first 3 chemotherapy treatments, but the 4th one proved to be very hard on him. He's been so weak--can't eat, can't drink, some days can barely maneuver around. It's really very difficult to watch the change happen. The doctors ordered a CT scan and the results were good; the doctor seems to think that the cancer is gone. As a precaution though, he wanted dad to take 2 more treatments but at a lower dose. He has one more--the week of Christmas--and then they will do another PET Scan to get more detailed results. I sure hope that he can start the road to recovery very soon. As hard as this has been on him, my mom has suffered too and that too is hard to watch. She is such a good caregiver; whatever he wants--she tries so hard to make sure he gets it.

Other than that, as Stewie Griffin would say, "the world keeps on spinning." Every day presents something new--sometimes good, sometimes bad...but always worth it.
