I went in for the IVP test today so they could scan my kidneys to check out this kidney stone situation. I don’t know the results yet, the radiologist had to read the scans and then my doctor’s office will call with the results. I hope to know by early next week – the end of May is coming up fast! (That’s when my insurance coverage ends unless I pick up Cobra.) I forgot to ask about that “no red or purple” issue. It must react somehow with the test. I may just go by and ask next week. Anyways, I hate waiting on test results. It doesn’t seem like I had to wait last time I had a kidney stone like this. I am wondering if I should go to a specialist to get this speeded up.

And there is another wait now too. I have been doing some job hunting & networking. Made some calls, sent out some resumes today, now I have to wait for them to set up interviews. Have I mentioned lately that I have no patience? Trying not to get my hopes up yet though. But there is one prospect that would be quite ideal. I hope it works out!

Yippee! I found one of the mystery readers. Thanks for letting me know that you have been visiting, Sherry! I really enjoyed her site – SherLonKah. Sherry – do you live in Killeen or Copperas Cove? I lived in Killeen for 3 months back in 1990, right after I was married, before we left for Germany. So long ago… I remember those weekend trips between Killeen & Houston while I was here working and the ex was there in the Army. Best of luck to the three of you on your future together!

Ok, so who else is out there reading?

Wh4t’5 your h4nd13?: from this day forward I will be known to the elite as: Mighty Matrix.

Kaycee will be missed by so many. Reading her writing was always a great joy, and with all that has gone on this week with me, it once again put matters into perspective. I thank God daily that I have the life that I have. To Debbie and the rest of her family, my most sincere condolences. I am glad they are leaving her site up, I will be back to read it again – when I need a smile, a bit of sunshine, and some perspective.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way…

Yes, it is as late as the time stamp says. I felt miserable earlier, so I slept for the most part from 6:30 to 11pm. I watched ER from tonight a little bit ago, now I am watching Friends from tonight. ER was awesome. Why do they have to have a break? Why can’t shows run all year? Because now I *have* to know what happened. And I have to wait until when, September? Friends is pretty good too, only halfway through.

Loved the post at What a Woman about the Assboss. I was laughing so hard. Wonder if she works for an attorney – that sounds like something that would have happened at the law firm I used to work at. Then I visited Kottke.org and Jason has visited the Eiffel Tower. Sigh, I want to be rich enough to go back to Europe. I loved it. He is right – some things surprise you that they are so amazing in real life.

I took some time earlier to check out my site’s logfiles. Lots of people come from, well, nowhere. I mean I have a lot more visitors then I do links to account for them. Hello? Who’s out there? It always makes me curious when I see that. Post a comment or something – I would love to know who you are. The other thing that caught my eye – someone back at the old office is reading this. I can tell because I can see the hit coming from their address. 3:07 pm on the 17th. Interesting. I didn’t think anyone left knew about the site. Well, maybe … I guess it could be … hmmm. Well, hey, if you want me to know who you are send me an e-mail and let me know. Or maybe it is management waiting for me to say something bad? Nope, won’t happen. In spite of my fleeting moments of negative thoughts, I believed in the company up until that final meeting with the boss. I went in to work that morning in the same great, very pumped & motivated mood I had been in all week. Heck, I had gotten a lot done in the 40 minutes I was there before they let me go. I hope someday they find someone with my skill set and loyalty to rebuild the sales team with, but I don’t think I am that easy to replace. I watched many others come & go in the same position while I was there. Oh well, I loved my job. I loved the company, although my spirit had definately been tried and pushed to near breaking limits. I missed it this morning when I woke up – and I am sure I will for awhile. So… while the negative thoughts obviously pass through my mind, as they would anyone who had been laid off by a company that felt like home in so many ways, they won’t end up here.

Ugh, after sleeping from 6:30 to 11pm (off & on) now I am wide awake. Bah.
