Just when you think things are calming down……
Doing pretty well, the mono has been intermittent lately. We were just crawling out of the pit of stress the business has been in when something else happens.
Last night I called my mom as I had cut my last onion out of the closet (I have an apartment and utilize closet space by stringing onions in pantyhose and cutting as I need them). We buy a 50 lb bag and keep them at Mom’s house. Anyway….
I called and my older brother answered. Apparently, my little sister Rachel (16) was coming down the dirt road by our land, skidded, lost control, and rolled our Chevy Blazer. SHE’S OK. She had her seat belt on, and she hit her head on the side window. Other than that she is just sore from trying to push open the passenger side door with a bit too much power (from the adrenaline). She climbed out the back hatch and walked to the nearest house to call my parents. WOW. The Blazer is totaled.

Even with going back on the depression meds I was still getting sick constantly. We're talking 2-3 times a week where I couldn't get off the couch. NOT good for my very hard working soon-to-be-hubby. I don't care who's a feminist and who's not, NO man should have to work 12 hour days and come home to a messy house and no dinner. Needless to say, I was getting fed up with myself.
One day I went to work feeling like total shit again and Mom noted that I had a yellow palor. That was all it took for it to click in my brain. Mono.
I went to Diane, who practically laughed at me for believing that I had it again as it not common at all. So I asked her to take blood and went home feeling like an idiot and guilty as hell for not doing what I should be doing.
2 days ago I got my period 2 weeks early. Talk about scaring the living shit out of me. Bryon had looked this kind of thing up before and knew that it could be caused by a few things. A. Rapid Weight Loss B. Dramatic Change in Diet C. Serious Overstress
I was seriously frightened, so much that I called my mom. (I'm the type who keeps private things very private, even from my mother) She wasn't surprised at all as she had my blood results sitting in front of her. Sure enough, I test positive for mono. AGAIN.
My body has decided that it will do whatever it takes to shut me down because apparently I've overdone it.
I do not want to talk about the stress that has caused it. It will make this already novel a mini-series.
Just know that I'm doing ok. Things are getting better with the business and most of the other fires that were burning are slowly going out. To my complete surprise, I have been on South Beach since the day after Easter, and through all of this have been able to stick it out. I've lost 12 pounds (that I know of), though I haven't been on the scale in 3 weeks. (lack of time) My clothes are fitting looser and I'm feeling good.
Bryon is exhausted, but he's a happy man and that makes me feel just that much better.
Shelby is huge, but adorable and doing well. She stays on a dog run at my parents house throughout the day. Lots more room for her to run. She comes home worn out, thank goodness!
