The Weight Journey Continues
Today I have my appointment with the nutritionist, another one of the hoops I must jump through to have the weight loss surgery. I think it's just so she can make $125 but that's just my opinion. I think this is the final hoop - next it goes to my insurance company for approval. I'm not expecting any problems with that but one never knows.

My grandaughter, love of my life, is now a teenager! She looks at me like I don't know a thing and sometimes like I came from a different planet. This picture was taken at the annual Easter picnic at Mule Power Farms - it's a great time!

My Dear Daughter
My dear daughter, Bona, turned 35 on Monday. She is a mom of 2 children, 6 and 14, and she's in her last year of college. Bona is strong, faithful and a real "go-getter". She's a born leader. When she was little she was always coming up with new games and ways of entertaining herself and others. She was forever changing her room around and cleaning - by herself! No one had to tell her something needed cleaned - she just did it! She's also very resourceful. If I ever need help with anything I know I can count on her.
Her daughter looks just like her and acts like her too! I'm so proud of her - she just lost over 30 pounds and she's lookin' real good. I don't know when she finds the time to take care of herself but she does. Her son has ADHD and a sensory problem that makes him extremely sensitive and he can be a real handful. I don't know how she does it but she does and I'm very proud of her.

My Baby, Ickra
My baby, Ickra, turned 34 on Monday. She's a great lady! She has a great job as senior tech and office manager at a vet clinic and takes very good care of herself. She's beautiful, sweet and fun to be with. She loves football, rock n roll and travelling but most of all she loves her family.
I remember a defining moment in our relationship when she was about 11 or 12. She was home on a summer break from the boarding school she attended and we were sitting at the table playing cards. Ickra loved to play - anything! I looked at her and it dawned on me that even though I loved her so much I really enjoyed her company, her humor and her. I saw her as a person apart from me and I liked what I saw. She was fun to be with, always laughing, happy and carefree. Whenever I see a little girl skipping along without a care in the world, I think of Ickra, my baby!
My prayer for her is to recapture that little girl, love her and know that she is so very special! To know that we are little children in God's eyes and he wants us to be so at peace and happy like a child. Just like little Ickra, skipping along without a care, knowing she's protected and not experiencing the cruelities of the world yet. Little Ickra, before the first heartbreak, the first injustice and before the terrible things that happened to her. She was and still is a most beautiful lady and I hope she one day realizes that for herself! She's dear to my heart and I know I'll always be in her heart everyday of her life.

My Journey
Today I had my psych evaluation with Dr. Paul. She was a great counselor and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again. The appointment was almost 3 hours long and I really hope she doesn't diagnose me as crazy!
I have one more step and that's with the nutritionist on August 28. Then they submit the paperwork to my insurance for approval. I swear there are a lot of hoops to jump through and at any step there could be a delay or denial.

Working For the Man
I get so weary working and sometimes wish I could take off for a long time but I guess that will have to wait until I retire. I don't realize the stress is so bad until after I've been of several days. I'm seriously thinking of teaching middle school kids and may go back to school in order to get the certification. Then again, I think I really don't want to go back to that grind either. Maybe I should find a rich man, or even one that works will do!! LOL
