"Im alive and well" -KC

Well its been over a month since Ive been anywhere near a computer for personal use, let alone update this blog of mine or my favorite Facebook. Between moving, starting a new job and being very sick, its been pretty rough. I was weighed down by having to pack and move all our stuff by myself while James was away in Missouri helping his family (a trip planned and airplane tickets bought before I was laid off.) Was weighed down by starting a new job that requires more than 40 hours per week, working my butt off and trying to adjust to the busy nature of the job while only getting paid 1/2 of what I should be making doing what I do. And was weighed down with medical conditions both known and unknown, the known being a "raging" bladder/kidney infection that required an IV for 3 days that I had to keep in me which was so uncomfortable and at times painful. I was told by the doctor not to lift a thing, but how was I supposed to abide by that in the middle of moving? Yeah, impossible. And all the while I only had 1 week to get all my medical problems fixed since my insurance was ending from my previous job and would be without any thereafter since my new job doesnt offer any. So as you can see, Ive had a lot weighing me down and have been very overwhelmed. Its 3 am right now and have been up since 1:30, my mind racing and not being able to go back to sleep. I took Doc outside to go to the bathroom, came out to the living room and sat down to read some scriptures. I read D&C 6 and felt like I was being hugged by God Himself. What good, comforting scriptures to read during a time like this. I tried falling back asleep on the couch, but it was a no-go. Then I realized, it probably would help if I got everything I was feeling out on paper...uh, I mean, computer? I also wanted to apologize for distancing myself from everyone over the past month. I dont mean to, its just when I go through a lot like I have, I tend to turn into a hermit crab and deal with everything on my own. Not to mention Ive just been down right tired. I havent really had any time to reach out even if I wanted to. But thats still no excuse, shame on me for trying to get out of it.
Just know I love you all and have been thinking of everyone in my life that has been there me. Thank you.

Just for fun, heres a picture of my lovely IV
