*tap tap* anyone here?

it has been quite a long time since i've posted.  that is because i didn't have internet access at home until recently.

my job is going good.  i'm happy there and it is a great organization.  i love what i'm doing and i am thankful to even HAVE a job.  with the economy the way it is and so many people still out of work, it's scary.  while i wouldn't necessarily say i have job security; i think i'm doing okay and they are happy with what i'm doing.

nothing different in my personal life.

am waiting to hear from Kaiser about the LapBand surgery.  i was accepted / approved earlier this year; i've been on a waiting list.  i have lost about 20 lbs on my own which is good, but it's overwhelming to think of how much more i have to go.   i have quit smoking (because i had to for the surgery) but i don't think i have gained any because of it.  mostly because my funds have been limited.

i've been needing this forum to vent, so i will be writing here much more often.

happy labor day weekend.
