A Lyme Update, I Missed My Calling, & Some Other Random Things

I had an appointment scheduled for next Tuesday with my Lyme doctor, Dr. Bernui.  But guess what?  I didn't need it!!  For the last five years, I've had an appointment, either in person or over the phone, every 1-3 months.  Since he doesn't accept insurance, the visits are 100% out of pocket. I just decided this time that we didn't have enough to discuss to make it worth the money. So, I called and rescheduled for March, which was his next opening.  I actually felt a little bold in my decision to go rogue, b/c we have been so diligent with my treatment plan for so many years. But then, I felt so thankful that I have made this much progress.  I still have symptoms, mainly headaches and muscle pain, but they are much less frequent.  Restored health is a gift that I do not take for granted.

Switching gears...I totally missed my calling. I got an email the other day saying that the sender found my resume on Career Builder and felt like I would be a great candidate for a "Gift Wrapping Manager".  I AGREE!  Where have you been all my life?  Those that know me know how much I love to wrap presents! I'm not quitting my day job any time soon... 

I introduced Miles to one of my childhood favs the other day.  He got a hot chocolate packet at the parade. Instead of warming it up, we added it to cold milk and ate it with a spoon.  It's like chocolate sugar. He approved.

Miles had to do a Christmas project for school. The instructions said to complete it as a family.

We had to decorate a Christmas tree with any kind of craft supplies or stickers.  The decorations had to be in a pattern that Miles will present to his class tomorrow.  Here's hoping he has his daddy's public speaking skills and not mine. 

It's been a long work & school day for the McClure's. Two are already in bed at 8:48pm and now it's my turn.  Speaking of sleep, I totally disagree with this quote. Good night!
