I am about to head off for our trip, in a few days, but I am booked solid until then, and need to squeeze in last minute packing and such.
I hope to find sun, warmth, and relaxation in Mexico.
I told my doctor today that we'll probably end up with the same amount of misery, just in a new locale.
I went in for a last-minute back adjustment. About 81% of my vertebrate were locked up. Guess I wasn't crazy about the pain I was in.
I also told my doctor I have a (medical/weight loss/ rid myself of backpain/get pregnant/have a live baby) plan. That starts in January. "Because I can't wait for 2008 to be over." Cue tears. Gad, I hate crying at the doctor's office. It just seems so unprofessional. I am supposed to go to the therapist if I need a good cry. And then I wanted to tell her, 'no, no, I really am doing better. This is the first time I've cried in weeks.' Well, ok, maybe a week.
I do not like sitting in the exam room, waiting. I think it builds a certain amount of anxiety that just puts me over the edge. Not helped by the NEW nurse (where was my Judy!?!?!), who asked me what I was doing for Christmas. "Going to Mexico."
"Oh, how cool, I am so jealous blah de blah." She should have asked me BEFORE taking my BP and pulse. Really, are you really jealous of my two dead babies? My chronic pain? Unexplained dizziness and blood results? Really? Because these are the things that I am attempting to escape, the reasons I am going to Mexico and not staying at home with Serenity, celebrating under a Christmas tree. Really? Cue string of curse words in my head.
So anyway, the whole point of this post (see that one sentence, way up at the top?) is to say that this will probably be the last one before I leave the soil of the good ol' US of A. Well, maybe I can't say 'good' until 01/29/09. Anyway.
I have pre-programmed some posts, so that no one misses me too much (snark snark). Don't feel obligated to spend time on them, because I know you will all be overwhelmed with the craziness that we call 'the holiday season'. Add to that the caraziness of 'deadbabyland'. The posts are purely for you guys, my gifts for the 15 days of vacation. Although, you aren't actually getting that many presents.
Hasta luego

Serenity Joy almost made it into this world alive, but almost doesn't count. Her little sister did make it.
When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.

Ahem.
I actually enjoy your posts. Truly. So I will read, and I suspect enjoy.
Hang in there, wishing you the best Christmas that is actually possible under the circumstances.
Ya Chun, I hope your vacation is the best it can be. Take some photos for us!
safe travels ya chun, be well xo
Ya Chun, have a good time in Mexico. I think a couple of drinks may help to relax given the sun and the warmth.
Bring us back some good stories to share.
Have fun and we'll miss your snarkiness (truly)! Wish I could take my sadness on a vacation over the "festive season". Soon - Barbados in January.
Have a great trip, hun. 2009 will be so much better.
xo
Heh. I can top the nurse story. JD insisted that we go on vacation about seven weeks after (on the whole, no the best idea for me, but what's done and all that...). So the week before we left I was picking Monkey up at preschool and I told her teacher that she wasn't going to be in the next week. She asks why and I tell her that we are going on vacation. Now, mind you, this is a teacher who knows. And what does she say? "Well, some people are lucky like that." I went all still and stern and I told her that I hardly think anyone would call us lucky. She started stammering that that wasn't what she meant, and she didn't think... at which point I was out the door before the "no, you clearly didn't think" could leave my mouth. She had three more months of being my daughter's teacher after all.
Have a great time in Mexico. At some point, let's talk vertigo and funny test results, ok? I had something similar once, but I don't know enough about your case to say if it was similar enough to be useful...
Enjoy your trip Ya Chun. I hope you get a moment of peace down there. And I can't wait for this year to be over either!
Enjoy your trip!!! Please bring back a lot of stories and photos!
Have a fantastic time! I think many of us can't wait for 2008 to be over.
Adios, amigo! Looking forward to a report when you get back!
May your time away be relaxing and refreshing. Try and focus on the 'is' instead of the 'should be', but in the end, have the best time that you can.
Take care of yourself!
Have a good trip and enjoy that sun. You deserve it.
