More Randomosity

Well, I have a blog entry I'm working on but I want to word it just right, it's a bit of a rant and so I want to focus on it to make sure I'm expressing myself clearly before I publish it. But in the mean time I feel like I haven't got much to write in my blog except for snippits of random thoughts. That's better than nothing, right?
My ENT specialist appointment was anti-climactic. I was given nose spray. I'm very congested and dry apparently, and she was checking me out on a good day. My tiny bottle of nose spray was $10 and not a prescription so couldn't use benefits. However, I have been breathing a little better already. And the good thing about it not being medicinal I can use it as often as I need, however the cost of that is deterring me a little. The other thing she said to do was lose weight, even though I've only gained 5 lbs since my issues started. On the down side, I've realized my issues started when my cat Kody started shedding in his adulthood. We've already done a few things to reduce cat hair around the house, but if all of this doesn't help I will have to choose between him and restful sleep.
My Scrappy Place is usable now, although not everything is in the place I eventually want it to end up but the important thing is it's usable. I just need to tuck away the garage sale stuff off in the corner for the time being, cover it with something pretty so I can pretend all that junk isn't in my nice new crafting room! Lol. Once it's a little tidier I will post pics.
It just occured to me I haven't talked to Richard in 6 months. That's the longest span of silence between us in 12.5 years. And this time it isn't only his doing. I've only occasionally had to stop myself from feeling bad about cutting him off, but mostly it's allowed me to just feel what I really feel. No more being less than truthful to spare his feelings, at the expense of mine (and Sean's for that matter too). I also have to be careful that I don't get too caught up in the anger I'm finally allowing myself to feel. It's one thing to be truthful, it's another thing to be unforgiving.
My sister Tami and her husband Kellin, along with most of Kellin's family, are in Guinea, Africa, on a mission's trip. They are part of a team that is building a medical clinic for a village there. Guinea has experienced a little political upheaval recently but God has covered them in His protection as the offended party has delayed protests for several reasons. But they could still use every one's prayers. Sean and I pick Tami & Kellin up from the airport on January 26th. Here is the blog their team is keeping if you want to check out what they are doing. http://guineamissiontrip.blogspot.com/
I'm anxious for Tami to get back for another reason. She's going to be my personal trainer and I am really anxious to have a plan so I can start working my way to being healthier. Between my ENT doctor, the doctor I saw in November, and from other stories I've heard, the fertility clinic (whenever they finally have an appointment with me), all consider my weight an issue and so I want to have a plan in place, especially to show the fertility clinic I'm working on it. I know I can start working on it without her plan, but I also need her to provide a little motivation (aka - crack the whip, "whoopa" as Chandler would say).
