Life Goes On

Not much is new here! Maybe you know that by my lack of posting! Ha! I have a friend that has told me twice in the last week, "Jen, two words for you...Update Blog!!!" So, here you go, my friend. :)

I really don't have anything to post as life is just life! I'm just going to work and, in the evenings, working on my class. Oh, yeah...and fighting a losing battle with allergies. Blargh!!! I started with Claritin-D (24 hr.) and it didn't dent a thing. Then, a friend recommended Zyrtec so I've recently switched to that. It allows me to breathe easier but I'm still constantly blowing my nose (if you wanted to know that). Now, today, I feel like something is "settling" in my chest. Could this be a cold? I certainly don't feel achy or feverish and I don't have any "cold symptoms" other than stuffiness. I took some Airborne last week thinking that if it was a cold, maybe that would help. It didn't affect anything. Aargh!! What could this be?! I hate to go to the doctor for this, but if it provides some relief, maybe that's what I need to do! Suggestions, anyone?!?

And, as usual, I'm going through my routine "life questioning" and whether it's time to move back closer to the family or not. *sigh* Who knew that this would ever be such a hard decision!! And it's not necessarily "hard" in wondering if I want to be closer to family again or not, because I DO!!! In a heartbeat I'd move up closer to famiy again. The thing that's a hesitation is my job. I love my job right now. Love it! And I sometimes wonder if I'll ever enjoy a job again as much as I enjoy this one!! I look at advertisements in areas up close to my family but nothing "jumps out" at me. Of course, I had to work my way into THIS job, so maybe I'll have to do that again, too. *sigh* If only it could be an easy switch! I have a hard time with the idea of leaving all of my friends out here, too. After all, I've been here for six years (this summer) already!! Isn't that wild?! It just doesn't seem like it's been that long. Anyway, we'll see what happens!! I'm really kind of afraid to pray about what to do, too. I mean, what if what God wants for me doesn't involve moving back up by family!?! *sigh* I don't know that I want to think about that yet. Hmmm...maybe I should be praying more about being willing. :)

Anyway, that's about all from these parts!! I hope all is well with YOU wherever you are at! :)

I don't have allergies, but I've heard of people using raw local honey to "cure" theirs. Ever tried it? Something about it is supposed to build up your immunity.

Cheri...my mom mentioned hearing that one time, too. Hmmm...maybe I should DO something about it!!

Hi Jen,

When we met last summer, I said I might surprise you with a comment sometime! (Actually, I've commented anonymously on a couple of your "polls.")

Thinking about you in your decision making process...

Will we see you in June this year?!

p.s. you also told me I should have a blog, and now I do!!

Sometimes I have that same "moving home" dilemma - sorry, I don't have any answers on how to fix it. I was hoping you would. :-)
