The past month has brought many changes with it, and I don't even know where to begin. Let's see...

I've started an online course in Medical Coding and Billing with http://www.careerstep.com/ and I'm using brain cells that have been asleep for way too long now. Hopefully my college A&P and Pharmacology courses will help me out when I get to that point. My crazy-ass medical history has already helped somewhat, and I've been enrolled for just a week now. I'd *like* to do the Medical Transcription course when I'm done with this, but we'll see how it goes.

We finally got ALL of the windows replaced in the house! Our utility bill has dropped to less than HALF what it was at this time last year. Amazing.

Little Matteo (see my previous post) has already been in the hospital and scared us all half to death. Poor thing was so jaundiced and couldn't maintain his body temp, but he's home and doing much better now.

One of my chosen sisters had back surgery and is still on the mend. She has a long road ahead, and I'll be right there every step of the way.

Breeze is graduating on TUESDAY. I still can't believe it. Poor thing better enjoy that day b/c she's having surgery the day after. We discovered what seems to be the source of a lot of her breathing problems...a SEVERELY deviated septum, so an outstanding ENT/Allergy specialist is going to fix her up.

Kat is coming home on Saturday! Woo Hoo! I'll finally have my family whole again under one roof. I just wish it were permanent, but I'm focusing on the positive. She's now a 10th grader!

Oh, and my dad, stepmom, and oldest nephew came to visit. My nephew is 15 and fell in love with Beaufort. :) He says he's moving here when he graduates. What's not to love? The beach, fishing, and a gorgeous little town full of charm.

My precious baby, Molly, (my new Dodge Nitro) already had to have a new windshield. :( Breeze and I were driving home from Charleston, and a rock hit the windshield. I was PISSED, but our insurance company rocks and had a tech out here asap to replace it. I'm happy, Molly's happy.

So that's life in a nutshell here. Someday, I'll post more regularly...maybe. ;)
