Well the weather has finally broken and the electricity seems to be fixed for now.  Hopefully this trend will continue, lord knows I can't take much more of this heat.  It's been a really quiet summer for me.  I haven't had much of of choice, with the weather, not having enough money to just get out and about, and no available jobs.

I spoke with my lawyer yesterday.  I was wondering what happened to him, he had some complications with his surgery....dehydration and an ulcer.  He said he was in the hospital for a few days and will have to go back for a minor procedure.  So remember everyone drink your water. 

No news on my appeal, I may not have approval by either them or the state until sometime in September.  This really sucks.  I could have had a job and been working instead of losing money.  Not to mention the waiting game.  I know I will have it, it's just its very trying.  Especially when this weather hits, I really begin to feel my weight.  I avoid mirrors now.  I just hate looking in the mirror and seeing my reflection.  My boyfriend can't understand how it is that I have gained weight instead of losing it, since I'm barely eating anything anymore.  I guess with being locked in the house, between the weather and no money, anything and everything I eat gets sucked into my fat. 

I just have to remember soon enough this too shall pass.

Well I'll let you know if there are any developments.  Thanks for checking!!!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  Here in New York, I am sitting back and doing my best to take it easy.  I was in the hospital last week.  I had some pain the week before but it went away but that night it didn't and the pain was worse. Welif I was a man who walked in with my blood pressure at 152/115, rapid heart beats, pain in my chest radiating to my chest and my neck, and shortness of breath I would not have waited one hour and ten minutes.  I know its laughfable now.  Greatfully it was no heartattack, I had hypertension and costochondritis (thats when the muscles and bones in your chest become irritated and painful).  And boy was I in pain, I'm still hurting over a week later, and it is still sore over my heart.  My doctor says if I cant work on mmy own to keep my pressure down and get diagnosed with hypertension I will end up being denied for the surgery for good.  Just great.

On a better note, guess where I was yesterday.....  I was at the beach!!!!  Holy Crap!!!!  It was nice, but I wore shoirts and a tanktop of course.  I wnated so bad to go play in the water, but i guess there is always next year. 

Well i'll let you know when I speak to my lawyer next week.  Hopefully we will have an answer by the latest the week after next.  I want to be able to make it to the spring classes next year.

Ciao!!!!
