Update.. shmup-date

Ok.. so it's been a rough week. Last week our bird Chester was not doing well. He wasn't chirping like he normally does and we took him to the Vet on Thursday. He was not happy! They took a culture from his throat(no results yet) and gave us antibiotics to give to him. He seems much better. Still can't do some of his normal chirp noises clearly.. but he is at least eating more now and much more like his normal rambunctious self. Me.. I was a mess. Geez if I am this way with a bird.. what am I gonna do when I have a little girl?!?! Things to think and pray about. I'm just so glad he is better and neither of the other two birdies got sick. I don't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to any of them.

Ok.. adoption update... We have our Social Worker coming over next Monday night.. She seems like a really fun person! So it should go well. We got our employment verifications(well a copy) from Disney on Friday and they didn't look correct. They put how much we earn per hour/week then how much we've earned YTD.. NO NO NO.. I needed an estimated yearly salary!! ARGH>> freakin' Disney sometimes. Luckily I have a contact and I IM'd her yesterday and she got with the person who did our letter. And at first they wouldn't put an estimate on it. The reason I was given.. that Disney doesn't like to do that.. because they don't want to put a number that a cast member might not make and folks might get all up in arms or whatever.. oh please... just put ESTIMATED on the letter!! I explained that any other number would literally get lost in the translation when our stuff would be translated into Chinese!!! Sooo... my friend asked again and the person agreed to write the letters as requested.. hopefully we'll get them by next week. Figures.. Disney gives us crap.

Ok.. I called sick on Monday.. NOTE to SELF.. do not eat Egg-salad sandwiches made by little old church ladies.. yes it was not fun : ( Coincidentally I had my follow-up appt on Monday with the doc to get my lab results and my Medical Exam form for the Dossier... HEY.. my Cholesterol is only 122!!! how cool is that.. then he ratted off some other numbers.. I asked what do they all mean. He said.. well you are not at risk for Heart Disease. good I thought.. Then I said.. so I take it, you don't see numbers like that often.. He said.. only when someone is on Cholesterol medication! How cool is that!!! Seems like eating all this good food pays off!!! yippee! And all the other stuff was good too! iron was good, no anemia, no Hepatitis, my liver is working, kidneys.. all that stuff. David goes for his next Tuesday, July 3rd.. on my birthday!!! I'll be working.. that's ok. Maybe they'll take me out to lunch!

Well dinner is ready and I'm hungry.

Bye for now
