7 pound weight loss? Yeah, right!

Ok, I went to the doctor today, and she told me I have lost 7 pounds since May when I was in the doctors last. I don't think so!!! What planet is she on, I think? I don't think I've lost more than 7 ounces! I have had such a hard time losing the last month or so! I have been under so much stress! With my moms cancer being back, and trying to get a job and not having much luck, and the car giving me problems, and dieing on and off, and my having so many health problems to boot....well, life just hasn't been a picnic!

I have lost a lot of weight since January. Let's see, since December, I've had meningitis (I spent New Years in the hospital) and I have lost about 35 pounds since then. My car needs either a new head gasket or valve seals, struts and springs, and possibly a new radiator to boot. I essentially need a new car. LOL That's ok, a friend of mine has a 89 Chrysler Cordoba he's willing to give me for a hundred bucks because his grown son is too embarrassed to be seen driving it. LOL It's also a gas guzzler. I am just happy to find a car that will get me from point A to point B without either blowing up or overheating. So what if it costs $60 in gas?

I have an interview tomorrow morning for a job. It is with a home health care agency. I am saying a huge prayer of thanks that they called me for the interview and then saying a prayer that I get the job! I need the job very badly. Not only to fix the car I have but to put gas in the guzzler I'm getting. I told my mom I'd keep the old car for her to drive around town. If she and my daughter want to go to the park, they'd have a car then. I will have it paid off in a few months (oh glory be! It is taking me forever to finish paying the finance charges on that lemon!) Then maybe I can concentrate on getting new struts and a new radiator for it.

I'm thinking of going back to college for nursing. Problem is the chemistry and physics. I am so scared. I'll be 48 years old in July. I'm also afraid of being the only old lady in a sea of youngsters! I really enjoy the health care field though, and I've worked in the field since I was 21 years old. The chemistry, math and physics has always put me off, however!

Ok, I'm off here to go check on mom. She's getting a biopsy done on Monday and is very anxious and nervous. Have a great day, my fellow readers!
