I realize it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted - sorry about that. It's been a busy time.

I went to Albany to check out where I'm moving. I've been given the date of October 1st, so I'm hoping that's final. Albany was just fine! I had a different picture in my head, but it was just fine. Speaking of pictures, I took my camera with me and took absolutely no pictures. I just forgot I suppose. I had a lot on my mind, and pics were not in that equation.
While in Albany, I got to see Jeff a couple of times... not for very long (each time he was working), but it was nice to see him. What a cutie! :)
Albany is a little smaller than I thought, and that's actually nice. I thought it was going to be a bit on the big side, but it's not bad. They have at least 2 Taco Bell's, a Wendy's, Jack in the Box, Burger King and more... along with Costco, Ross, a real mall and more. :) Yay!!! Places to shop!!!
I'm praying I can rent a place with a bit of privacy. I saw a couple of places for rent and one of them I fell in love with... although the rent was a little too much. It had oak floors, an upstairs, a long garage and more. The front yard was cute and the back yard had privacy and smelled great. It was in town, but worth it. :)
Other news:
My friend and co-worker is sick. She woke up with one side of her face not responding and drooping - much like a stroke. She tried to come to work, but the manager told her to go to the hospital. With her boyfriend driving (thank God), she lost her vision. She went to a hospital that apparently turned her down because they didn't take her insurance?!? I didn't think that was legal??? So she went to a smaller place who ran tests. She's been having a lot of migraines lately and has been sick a lot. Apparently, she has swelling of the brain and Bell's Palsy (sp?) was mentioned. She went to a specialist (or at least somebody who knows something) in Medford today and I'm waiting to hear more. My prayers and thoughts are with my friend Jody... yours would be appreciated.
God bless you Jody!

Oh, I got my hair cut again because it needed a trim and it was getting out of control... here it is, with a "fish face":





As for my diet, I've been excercising 5 days a week. I made the mistake of weighing myself in the middle of the week and immediatly regretted it. My official weigh-in will be tomorrow (Saturdays only!!!)... I'll let you know...
