Well goody for me! Went to the cardiologist yesterday, and he decided to put me on this portable heart monitor for 24 hours.
For anybody who’s never worn one – it’s not fun. The adhesive from the leads is driving me nuts, I have to remember to take this darn box around with me, have to write down every single ‘episode’, etc etc etc.

I can’t wait to get this thing off.

Ok so I’m getting old. 

I had an appointment with a dermatologist today.  He removed a few “skin abnormalities” from my back and left shoulder. A couple were sent off for biopsies, should know something next week, but he doesn’t think they’re anything but “old age creeping up on you”.

Ya gotta love these docs 

You just never know what life is going to throw at you, or who’s going to shoot you in the foot (or stab you in the back).
But I have always had a motto – “No one can do to you what you don’t let them do“.
Think about that.  I sure have lately.

But here’s another motto I go by – “You reap what you sow” – the Bible.
And that gives me peace that would otherwise elude me at times like this.

I have a really good part-timejob, working as a non-medical, in-home caregiver for a company called Comfort Keepers. The company is great, the pay is good, and they allow me to be very flexible in what hours I can work.  We’ve settled, finally, on Friday and Saturday nights, 11pm – 7am. Works great for me, because my boy is with his dad.

I take care of a very sweet elderly lady, who sleeps most of the night, but someone has to be with her due to safety concerns – falling, etc.

Working like this allows me to bring in a part-time income, while being able to design for vBulletin almost fulltime, as well as being available for my son when he needs me.  More on that in another post.

The only reason this sucks is I have an extremely hard time sleeping during the day, and since it’s not a constant thing, there are 5 other nights that I have to sleep. ugh. Talk about sleep cycle confusion!  :p

Anyway, I’m about to start getting ready for work, so off for now!
