The news recently is...my father in law passed away on Veterans Day. Yep. My husband and I were there when he took his last 5 breaths. We had just bought his clothes and hubby's clothes for the funeral when we got the call. I have been busy making arrangements for 2 days afterward and cleaned house the day before the funeral. I would not have finished without the help of my best friend, Laurie! I was dehydrated from making arrangements with my husband, and he wasn't hungry or thirsty for 2 days practically anyway, he did eat in the evening, but had to talk him into it. Not good for me to get dehydrated, my muscles rebel, by cramping excessively. So every time the cramps grabbed hold of me I took a break and drank as much as I possibly could, still wasn't enough.

Picked up all the flowers/plants from the funeral home today, and the cards etc.
Made a doctor apt today and got in today, is that amazing or what.

I do have good news. I got hired for the Post Office job, being an Rural Route Carrier. It's a part time job, but I can work up to career position if I choose to.
The pay will be good, no insurance or anything like that unless I get a career job.
I start training November 24, 2008. Train for five days and then I go to work.
I'm hoping for the best. At the doctor's office today they said my blood sugar is out of control. So they want me to go back in two weeks.
