Back!

So...I'm back... Didn't feel much like writing in the last few weeks... so much has happened. I've been battling kidney stones lately, and they are excruciatingly painful. Followed by 2 and a half weeks on the BRAT diet (bananas,rice,applesauce, toast) for nausea and not being able to keep anything down, I was thrilled to be able to eat by Christmas!

And now class is over...For my last essay, I wrote a tribute to my mother. It was hard for me, because most of my memories of her have been of her in the hospital or in pain or the night of her death. But I thought hard and bypassed those horrid memories and found the good ones of when I was little and the time I spent with her before things got bad. It's something I needed to write for a long time, and something I will definitely keep.

NOW....Christmas...I got a lot I didn't expect. I didn't know I was even getting presents. I thought we were going to sit around and talk and have a good time. But I have to say this...my brother and his girlfriend got me more Dr. Who stuff then I ever expected lol. A book about the history of the show, a book of all the characters, and as a sort of gag gift, an 11th Doctor action figure LOL Oh and they also got me "Poets Market 2014" time to start writing soon!!!

We also visited my Uncle in the hospital and he's in good spirits, talking football, work, the norm, which is great!
