Sunshine coming through!

Well, the day didn't START sunshiny! I had a doctor's appointment today, follow-up to my sleep study I had done. I don't have sleep apnea, thank goodness, but I do have an issue. Because of my current respitory issue, the paralyzed diaphragm, I have more carbon dioxide that doesn't get forced out of my lungs at night. Sooo... after going for a second opinion last week, I now have an appointment with a thoracic surgeon in two weeks. After that, I will be having surgery on my diaphragm, called a plication. As of now, I won't know details until my appointment.

So... first ray of sunshine. Bill has an interview tomorrow at the ambulance company for a full time dispatcher. He is currently a per diem EMT and wanting out of the store. Even though it's dispatcher, he's full time there. He can still EMT, and after a year, if an EMT position opens, he can take it. If he gets it, he will step down from his assistant manager position to just a part time clerk and transfer back up to the store here in town. This would all be a blessing, a bit of a pay cut, but with gas prices, we're dropping $60-$70 a week in gas now. If he's back in town, he could even ride his bike to work. So, crossing fingers!

My second ray of sunshine... I got a surprise visit from my best friend! She was in the area and stopped by to say hi. I was just beyond excited. If you read a few posts back, she went through a rough time, and our friendship had suffered over the past 10 years. But, boy, was it so nice to see her today. She's doing well, very upbeat, looking at moving forward with her life. She might be moving back to this area next year, which excites me to no end. I'd so love to have her closer! I've just been a grinning fool today after she came. I can't even express my happiness in words, I don't think there are any. See? I'm grinning now. And now... Still grinning! Hehe... Happy, happy.
