Can I Even Remember?

January 2009: Wow, another year! The good news, my cousin Cherlyn married her very gorgeous man, Sean, on the third and doesn't even have to change her last name. His last last name is Jenkins too! How fun is that! They had a very nice ceremony and reception at Hertitage Gardens.

My mom celebrated the 34th anniversary of her 39th birthday on the 15th.

Still battling a cold...ugh..I just want to be healthy again! Trying to get all my medical tests done so that I can turn fifty and be Fabulous (yeah right)!

February: More tests...still sick. Finally went to see an ENT on the 13th, he said I had allergies, etc and gave me medicines to help.

Boss gone for a week. Long-lost friend came back into my life, I hope she stays!

March: Grandma's first great-grandchild was baptised on the 7th and I found my cousin Beth is going to have her first baby in September!

Turned 50 on the 10th! WHOO HOO!! Half a century! Had a last minute party at a friend's coffee shop to help her out (I hope we did)! Thanks Lori!

Still fighting something (I have been sick off and on since November)...on the 12th, went to Vegas with my friend Peggie, who treated me to "Thunder Down Under", I must have been sick as I was not impressed and didn't have a very good time. The next day we drove down to Phoenix for me to visit my friend Patti and her husband and for Peggie to visit with her cousin. Lucky for me Patti was not feeling very well so we didn't do much but rest. Mark fixed a couple of good meals and I played cards with his elderly mother and her friend.

Peggie and I left Phoenix for Vegas on Sunday midday. Wandered around the strip, went back to the room and while I was getting ready for bed Peggie fell asleep on her bed (she said she woke up about 4am to get in bed, poor tired girl). Got up and headed back to Salt Lake to our lives in "Paradise".

Barely survived the week...left early on Friday to take my mom to Koosharem to the "Old Folks Party" that is held every year on the 3rd Saturday of March. I did make another doctor's appointment for the Monday figuring it would make me better.

Thought I would sleep the whole weekend, but that didn't happen...couldn't sleep Friday night, must have been that fresh country air...it was about 4am when I think I drifted off, up around 9am. Went to the lunch, left while mom had family to visit with and went back to the room. Went to the dinner at 7pm, they had lots of jello salads...I love the one with cottage cheese and cool whip...it's not hard to make, guess I'll have to make some! Listened to the musical entertainment for a while then went back to the room. Watched a movie and went to sleep. Mom woke me up early. She failed to mention that she wanted to be home by noon. We made it exactly!

Monday went to the doctor's, no answers. Had blood taken on Tuesday, now just waiting for the results. So I am up to date and mom's foot shouldn't be the first thing you see anymore!
