Happy New Years

Haven't been able to write much since Hubby has not been feeling good . He had a Cat scan and we are waiting on the results . The x rays showed that he has scarring on his Lungs ! We thought it was his heart when he couldn't catch his breath . For now they gave him a inhaler and I can't wait for Monday to find out what is wrong ! He has been a little energetic yesterday and even started on the Garage ; but today he lost his voice again and he has this Cough.... and it has me a little worried now . Well , we can't do anything until we know what's up .
With that said , I am wishing you all a wonderful and Happy New Year and stay safe .

I want peace on Earth

Presents are wrapped , House is almost clean and the Dinner is ordered ! Yup, I am lazy this year because just being together is more important this Year. We will have 2 Kids here on Christmas Eve ( 6 + 2 ) Avianna and James ( Peanut ) What is Christmas without Children ?
So , I will spend every Minute with my Family and not in the Kitchen !
I am feeling very tired lately and noticed that I get tired a lot more often now . I took Sandwiches and Santa stockings to all of our Doctors and they where so happy about it . That what Christmas is all about ! Giving ! Not taking  ... I love Christmas

Good Weekend

Finally I am making the last 2 packages and writing some checks out for Brandon and Brianna for Christmas ( Stacie and Dan's Kids ) Brandon is really the last LINDEN that can keep the Family going ! And he is taken that very serious . << great kids >>
Saturday 24th we have a Christmas Dinner at our  House and I am getting excited about it .
I have everything decorated and I must say that I have done a lot in the past couple of days Yesterday my my niece came over ( Darling ) and we had a really nice Visit : ) The Kids where really good and little James ( Peanut ) was a trip .

Since I had this  Encounter at the Hospital : I live different now  . I used to be so worried about having a clean house ; rather then sitting down sometimes and mingle with the Family . Now I don't worry about the Dishes so much because I can clean after they leave . Duh ... It is really weird how deeply I appreciate that I have been saved  .
I have Hep C and I am so grateful that I am still on Earth ...

Hepatitis and my feelings

"Hepatitis" is a Latin word meaning "inflamed liver." Liver inflammation is often caused by a virus. While many viruses can affect the liver as they spread throughout the body (for example, the infectious mononucleosis virus), the hepatitis viruses infect the liver as their primary target. There are 7 well-characterized types of viral hepatitis, but only 3 are common: A, B, and C. Hepatitis C is the most common chronic blood-borne infection in the United States .
It then brakes down into Genotypes like 1 a 2 a 3 a or 1b 2a > I am Genotype 1a and I am considered a None responder . I came to the conclusion that no matter what : I will not try another Treatment . It just takes to much out of me .

I am finally feeling better now and I took a good look at my life . I want to enjoy the rest of my life , not lay in Bed looking like I am dying ! Nobody knows when they die and either do I . So why would I try another Treatment ? When the side effects are worse then the disease ; your quality of life is no longer livable
I don't want anyone remember me sick and looking like hell . I want them to remember me as the fun and loving person that I am . I have so much love to give and I want to go back to basics .  Family is my soul Interest right now .
I have finally done 2 Packages ! After doing the 70 Bags with Goodies that we dropped off  at our Doctors Offices  ; I am running late on my Christmas Cards and Packages . So today I went and mailed out a package to Germany ! 8 Pounds $ 60.00 ! Wow it has been a while since I mailed anything over there .
Then I had a pleasant surprise when my son left me a message on FB . I am sending him  a card tomorrow with a few $ in it : ) Almost hard to believe that he is almost 38 Years old and he has been married since 2002 . No Kids yet ; they just can't afford it right now !
We went to the Wedding in 2002 and I knew then that it would be a cold day in hell before I would go through all the stress that comes with flying overseas . When I was younger it was fun to fly but now ... yuk...

Christmas is almost here

Well, tomorrow never came so we finally put the Decorations up today : ) I will upload a picture later << tomorrow >>. It looks good and maybe I will take a Video of it : )
So, all day I felt like crap today but we were waiting for the Nissan dealer to call us . The Truck made  some kind of squeaking sound so we took our Titan to the Dealer .
I was cranky because I didn't feel good but we still got everything done what was not done .
Now I am going 2 Bed , and watch TV ... No wonder I can't sleep ... duh ...
