Doing As I Said I Would...

• Filed back taxes (its a process, but I started it)
• Filed 2009 taxes (pain in my ASS, God bless my Sissy and her math degree, plus her patience with me, plus her Turbo Tax program lol)
• Continuing to eat healthy, hoping to see 199 at least on the scales Monday
• Organized all of my personal and "important" files, just have to get a fire box now
• Ordered a new SS card with my NEW last name, ya know that one I got 4 years ago :)
• Called to pay my way past due court fines..so that I wont have anymore secrets. (354.00)
• Sent in 12.00 to get my "official" marriage license--no comments please, I have been lazy and well I happen to enjoy my maiden name and my married name Underwood-Wood
• Stuck to my guns and Dalton is the New Bedtime Champion....that wasn't too bad!
• Drank my 64oz of water

The reason I mentioned all of the above was to prove to you and me that I CAN...I don't have to be a procrastinator, it was just really kind of fun. I do however realize I need to be a grown up *sigh* it's hard work I tell ya.

Anyhoots; called and talked with my Aunt Lily tonight and here is Emily's update:

EMILY UPDATE: She has had a pic line placed in her upper arm. An easier access for antibiotics and to draw blood from. Her WBC is awesome today sitting at 8,000, that's a long way from 36,000 when she was admitted. Through CT scans they did find that she does have an abscess on her kidney so they are going to be administering antibiotics and monitoring her strongly for a couple weeks here in KC. Only 2 more days in the hospital though. Anybody who knows my Aunt Lily knows how cute and funny she is. Well I am talking to her on the phone and she keeps saying "night" like "Well, Emily is doing much better tonight" mind you its only 4pm so we laugh about that and how hospitals wear the heck out of you. Then she states that she has eaten so much hospital food she feels like the girl in the movie "Shampoo"(laughing) I said "You mean Shamu, the whale?" She says "No!" and the nurse and I both say at the same time "Hairspray??" OMG we all started rolling!!! It was great! I could hear Emily cracking up and at the point we were all really enjoying the short phone update! Emily could still use any prayers you have to offer up. Take care everyone!
