Can you say STRESS??


It’s been a couple of weeks since I have blogged… I have a difficult time writing when things are stressful.
Stress #1
Two weeks ago after chemo I developed a lump on my left shoulder. I didn’t know what it was. When the doctor and nurse saw it, they immediately sent me to get an ultrasound. They thought it might me a blood clot. Thankfully it was not a blood clot. They still are not sure why I have the lump on my shoulder. It is still there but not as big as before. Crazy
Stress #2
Terry and I bought a new car. I was sad to see our green goblet go on St. Patty’s day. It was starting to have some challenges:( Pretty ironic huh…. We love our new car are excited to take may trips. It is a Kia Sorento. We got a great deal on it because it had 6,000 miles on it. The picture is a stock photo - ours doesn't have fog lights or a sun roof.
Stress #3
Provo Canyon Orem moved to Provo Canyon Springville. I arranged for Mrs.Utah to come and visit with the girls, while everyone else moved. Jenny did a great job. I also got Habit for Humanities to come as well. The speakers did an amazing job taking about service and how the girls could build houses. It was great. I was in charge of the about 70 girls along with another teacher, and a few staff members. We did a great job entertaining the girls for 6.5 hours. Volleyball, Fruit basket, Relaxation and amazing speakers. Meanwhile the rest of the teachers and maintenance workers moved the entire school area. Amazingly enough--. Everyone was ready to teach on Monday. I am still unpacking boxes. (I’m not suppose to be around dust) We have such great teachers and staff.
Stress #4
Two years ago the company I work for laid off 4 teachers. On Monday they laid off our librarian. I was very sad. She is a very nice woman. I wish her the very best. You never know if you’ll have a job tomorrow. I am very grateful for the job I have right now.
Stress #5
My sweet daughter Jenni and her husband Jared are working on artificial insemination. Yes-future grandchildren. I have been watching Jenni working through many shots, and worrying about how to pay for the whole process. I am so excited for them to have a family. Hopefully, it all works and Jenni will be pregnant in a few weeks.
Stress #6
My little grand-daughter Teagan, gets random fevers of 104+. The fever lasts for a couple of days. The doctor says that some kids just have high fevers to fight off flu bugs. Weirdly enough- she is only two years old and she has these fevers every other month.
Stress #7
Thursday, March 24th I went to go get chemo. I was ready to go and my blood work came back—indicating that my immune system was 800 and it should be at least 1000. So chemo has been postponed until next Thursday..
Non stress
Mom and dad, and Danny and Kristi are on there way for springbreak and stopped for a visit and dinner. Yummy Red Lobster. It was awesome! Love you Family!!!

I will do better at keep up with the blog.
