Dearest friends, life really is complicated in more than one way.  I'm all right but everything has made it difficult to be online.  First no computer.  One morning when I went to turn it on, {whack} no computer.  It died!  and everything was in it!!  Well then after a couple of weeks later, a friend lends me his CPU cause he has a laptop and then...the monitor dies on me!!

When my bad luck seemed to be under control, another friend gave me her old monitor cause they had another, another thing happens.  My mom, she's 84 years old, with Alzheimer was hospitalized.  She went in with one illness (simple I might add) and left the hospital 24 days later with a feeding tube in her stomach.  She's ok I guess, but gradually slipping away (for the lack of a better word).  We're just waiting for the moment.  Sometimes I wish that moment would be soon.  It's really hard to see a person you love become a victim of Alzheimer.  She's not even half of the woman she was when I was young.  Is it cruel of me to want her to leave this world to become part of another where she will be happy and free?

Sorry for the crap, but sometimes you can't stop yourself.

Well guys, be good =)

Pugui you are the best!!  ok, so [info]puguita, redid my journal... as a surprise because I was super upset yesterday!!  She changed everything!!  She says she raped my journal, I say she redesigned it!!  Of course, I agree with everyone when you call her the best of the best, but I can't use the words because she'll never let me forget I ever said that! (Nabiki's alter ego comes to the computer and writes:   she is a golden god!! )   LOL!  For me she's the Golden thingie!!  Don't let this go over your head [info]puguita!

You're the best friend anyone can have!!!  Thanks for all the support and the long telephone conversations!

A crappy morning!!

  • Aug. 23rd, 2006 at 7:50 AM

Well, it's only 7:51 a.m. here in PR and everything has gone wrong!!  My dear hubby decided this morning at 6:34 to put his uniform in the washing machine without checking his pockets first.  Our car is having trouble, so he was going to take me to work and then go to the mechanic.

What did he do?  He put his his uniform to wash with the car's beeper in it!!!  I started telling him since 6:50, let's go, let's go and he told me I was obsesive about time that I wouldn't get into work late.

Bingo!!!  you guest right!  I got into work late, because the beeper doesn't work now and we came all the way with the alarm ringing!!!!!  Then he starts yelling and cursing and it makes me mad!!!!  I know he's tired because he hasn't slept well these day...(his own fault, for not been organized), but I'm in stress because I'm going to be late and he yells and it infuriates me!!

Well, I feel a little bit better.  Sorry for the venting, but I needed to get out of my system.  I hope everyone is having a nice day in my Fl.  Thanks for hearing me out

Living with bipolar disorder

  • Aug. 10th, 2006 at 6:01 PM
legolas
I was just looking back at life and it's been 2 years since my husband had his bipolar episode.  Two years, it's incredible that time has gone so fast.  This was the first reason I joined the LJ, when [info]puguita suggested that I should write how I was feeling and all the things that were happening at that moment.

How are things now?  Really really nice, since my husband his taking lithium and Depakote his mood swings are so rare.  He's stable, holding on to his job.  Before medication, his mood swings were so difficult to handle.  Any little thing would trigger him and we never thought it would be a disorder, we just thought he was born that way.

He understands now that this is an illness like diabetes or high blood pressure, that he doesn't have to feel ashamed or hide it.  That he will have to deal with it for the rest of his life and that medication is the only thing that will make him feel great and also will have to take them for the rest of his life.

I know that I've said this many times Pugs, but Thank You! for your support.

Happy Birthday Puguita!

  • Aug. 8th, 2006 at 12:55 PM

May all your dreams come true and don't eat all the cake ok?  Share with us!!  LOL!!!

On Thursday night I was talking with another co-worker from another of our centers and she told me that my boss apparently isn't happy with my work and wants to fire me!

I don't know if I feel sad, mad or depressed or what!  I've been doing my best and I like my work, and I would have never thought my boss would want to do something like this.

I still have options and I'm going to pursue them.  I'm going to talk to my boss, to ask for a transfer to another center.  Of course I can't tell her what my co-worker told me but I'm going to say about my schedule and that in the other center they're looking for two SR.  I'm going to try to convince her that it would be a good change for her and me, without mentioning what I know.

I'm really sad, because I know that I've been doing the best, even if I've done a couple of mistakes.  This is my Center, where I started working 3 years ago, where I have great friends and I know that students love me.  Please keep me in your prayers so when I speak to her, I can say the right words that will help me make her understand what I want and need.  I think it would horrible to keep working in this center knowing what they want to do to me.

I spoke with my husband and he says he'll back me up if anything happens, but it's kind of frustrating that things are going pretty good for us and then this has to happen.

I feel great!!

  • Feb. 15th, 2006 at 4:37 PM

I'm so excited after many months!!  I've joined this HP community and I feel like I found my place!!  It's fun and exciting and I can do something I really love.

Come on down, and pay us a visit.  I'm sure you're going to like it, right [info]puguita

Christmas Eve

  • Dec. 24th, 2005 at 9:28 PM

Well, here I am on Christmas Eve, surfing the Internet and watching my hubby sleep.  He has to work at 6:00 am tomorrow morning, so a little sacrifice is OK.  I do feel blessed that he's healthy under the circumstances, he's working and he's in a good mood.

Santa came a little early !! YAY!! I got Gone with the Wind (DVD special edition), Sound of Music (DVD special edition) and Bridget Jones Dairy, so tomorrow I'm going to watch the documentaries!    Oh and I got two Barbie dolls for the collection. Santa did a great job this year!!

For all of you Merry Christmas, may Santa give you what your heart desires and have a safe holiday!

Tonight

  • Dec. 23rd, 2005 at 1:11 PM

Tonight is a bittersweet moment for me.  A great friend and I do mean GREAT is getting married. She deserves all the happiness in the world but her boyfriend, right this minute, is not one of my favorite people.

She has been preparing for this moment for a year and his attitude for the past 3 months have been of total stupidity!  She deserves better than this and if tonight when your in front of the judge,[info]petitesouris79 you decide you don't want to get married, don't worry!  We'll party until Christmas Eve and if you decide to get married, you know I hope you have a wonderful marriage.  It's not easy but you can do it!!  I just hope he can overcome the stupidity he's been carrying for so long!! 

What a week!!!

  • Nov. 4th, 2005 at 8:11 PM

Well, TG this week is almost over.  This has been the most difficult of all for me since my dear hubby was sick.  Work, work, work!!!  My boss took me to hell and back.  I'm even thinking of going back to my old job!  Of course it's with the same boss but the pressure is totally different.

The pressure was SO big that I had a migraine attack!! I've haven't had one in ages, but the pressure was SO big I was about to burst.  I couldn't even stand the light or the fan!  After 2 Fiouricet's, 8 Aleve's and 2 Advil Migraine (no I'm not selling them to you) =) I started feeling better this afternoon.  Did I mention the pressure was SO big!!  <grin>

But I'm happy 'cause tomorrow, she won't be there so I won't have her lurking around!

I'm so glad this week's almost over!!

I'm sooo happy, oh so happy!

  • Oct. 17th, 2005 at 6:44 PM

There is a God somewhere!!! Yes, at last I've got Internet at home!!!... I've survived the past 6 months of terrible torture of not having my own computer and then having access to the Internet.

did I lose it?? Of course I did!! Over and over again, but I always thought one day, one day I'd be back!!!

Reflecting on a year

  • Jul. 30th, 2005 at 7:05 PM

Today, one year ago I had to hospitalized my husband because of a bipolar episode.  Thinking back on this moment, it was very, very difficult.  Never in my life I thought I had the nerve to do this but it was better to do this than to loose him.  After several months after of battling to control the episode, we were able to find a little bit of comfort.

Many times I've talked about how things are going, but today, I can say that he is better.  We're about to move again, back to the city and that makes me happy.  When are we moving? How? OH I don't know, because between work and living so far away, it's so difficult to make time.

I wish time was easier to manage.  Between my husband, my mom who has Alzheimer and work; my time is limited.  If only I could have days with 30 hours, it would be great.  Well I year has gone by and I hope next year I can be as happy as I am today.
