How's it goin'?

Going great on my end - no school this term (no classes I need to take until May), and I've lost 12 pounds since the beginning of the year.

Granted, there are 130 more that I need to get rid of, but still - wheeeeeeeee!

I've also managed to do some heavy-duty cleaning and clearing (since I have no school this term...).

Things here are...complicated. On the one hand I have an app't this week to get 1/2 of my (extensive) needed dental work done, so that's exciting. Of course, I am TERRIFIED of the dentist, so I'm also quite anxious. I am goingt o be sedated for the work and I'm hopeful that will make a HUGE difference, but sinceI ahve never been sedated for dental work before, I have no idea how exactly that will work out.

And The Marine is deploying one week from today. Next weekend I have a 5 day weekend (1 day for dental work and recovery, the rest to go spend with him) and I'd like to look forward to it, but mostly I'm just sad. I know that when he gets on that plane he will essentially be out of my life forever. I'm sure *I* will be in complete control of how much contact we have after he leaves and I just don't know what I want to do about that. Well, I'd LIKE to play the faithful girlfriend waiting at home for him, but he's already asked me not to wait for him and the last thing I want to do is to be  fool for a year and have my heart crushed all over again when he gets back.

*sigh*

So ummm... I don't know how it's going here, lol. But congrats on losing 12 poundsthis year!! I would like to join a gym and start working out soon but I'm just not sure if I have the money :-(

Well, overall, things have been going good.  School went really well last term, and I went to, and had fun in Israel over winter break.

More recently, things have been kinda not so great.  I've been sick for a week, and the doctor has no idea what it is.  My friends are having issues...

And classes all seem to have things due at the same time.  It drives me crazy.  And it's HARD to write an essay when you're sick.

Let me reassure you a little, as i was in the same boat. I am terrified of the dentist, too, and now go to one that gives me valium just for cleanings, even - i am that scared. I also had extensive work done under sedation & it was great. They gave me some pills to take in the morning 15 minutes before i left for the dentist, i don't remember what they were, but they worked great! The last thing i remember from that morning is leaning over to put my shoes on - then nothing. My mom drove me home & says i was trying to get out of the car at a busy intersection & had no idea where i was; but i don't remember any of it. I also don't remember getting out of the car at my apartment & throwing my arms around the boyfriend & having him lug me up the stairs; but i think that is when mom decided she really likes him. What i do recall is waking up on my couch at 4 in the afternoon - with bf asleep across the doorway to make sure i didn't go anywhere in my stupor - and yelling at him, "G! It's 4 o'clock! I was supposed to go to the d-" and then the pain hit & i realized i had gone to the dentist. Seriously. The sedation stuff is wonnnnnderful. If you have any questions or are just scared, feel free to PM me.

Good luck with the dentistry.  I would love to do the sedation stuff but when I mentioned it to my regular dentist, he talked me out of it.  He is good at putting me somewhat at ease but I'm at the point now where I need to get an implant done and some other big stuff and I'm getting more and more nervous again.

As to the OP, things here for me personally are pretty good.  My job is going great, and even though I miss being home with the boys I do enjoy my work - most of the time :)

DH's birthday is coming up and I'm planning what to do for that, and I'm planning a Wiggles theme party for Thing 2's 3rd birthday.
