Hi. I'm a retired nurse. I have 2 grown kids - son and daughter - and am blessed with a beautiful granddaughter and handsome grandson with #3 coming in January.
Ok all-haven't really updated myself for awhile,so here goes !
YAY-2 yrs w/out a surgery !!! (9 in 4 yrs is enough,ya think ?!?)Seem to be doing ok,defied the odds & I'm still walking.(had a 25% chance of not)For those who don't know,I was diagnosed w/ Lupus,Dermatomyositis,Sjogren's Syndrome,blah,blah,blah when I was 40,& past 5 &1/2 yrs it kicked my ass & disintegrated my spine.(a sternal cage,2 rods & 4 screws in back,a plate & 3 screws in my neck.)Other stuff too,but you can see past posts.
Still at Walgreens -13+ yrs ! I order all the candy,so from now til end of yr,I have my work cut out for me.I did switch stores 10 mos ago,my old store closes at midnight now.Love my overnights-have a lot of customers that followed me-& nights work good for working here.I have weekends off & so does my honey.(that's the next topic)
I know I've kept this a secret,but after 25 yrs,I finally left my hubby almost a yr ago.Honestly,if it wasn't for my surgeries,it would've been yrs ago.My boys are all grown & it's time for me to be happy.I'm not saying I'm perfect,but in these last 8 yrs,he has changed into a person I don't know or like.Then once my surgeries,the verbal & emotional abuse started,& I deserve better.I'm a very positive person & just ignored the BS & kept doing what I was doing,thinking maybe this was a phase or something...I dunno. Not gonna bore you all,so here's my happy ending.
One morning 6 mos ago, about 5,this good looking guy in a baby blue polo walks in & all I could think was WOW what a hottie.When he came up to the counter,I was totally tongue tied (me?!?) & he asked me when I started at Walgreens & then said,well I'll be stopping in more often & left.Next morning he came in & asked me if I could take a break & asked me out cuz he didn't see a ring.(very politely too I must add) The rest is history & now we live together.We are both so incredibly happy & as corny as it sounds,makes me believe in soulmates.I'm like a teenager in love -my coworkers tease me,& yes he comes to see me every morning I work. Greg is such a great guy-too bad I didn't meet him yrs ago.
Ta-da...
