Well my MD app't went well yesterday. Apparently my iron is good, my "female hormones" are well within the normal range, no thyroid problems.
I bitched about the weight and my Doctor said "You're not obese, in fact the extra pounds let me know you're healthy!"
What??? Yeah, well, I suppose with Ulcerative Colitis or in my case, no colon, it's more typical for people to have problems putting weight on? Never a problem for me!
Then I did some Christmas Shopping. Ordered in a very nice end table for CJ (he'd mentioned our need for one near the tub chair, and I found one that I think will pull in his red wall nicely).
Yeah so much for keeping secrets here. He's not reading anyway! The other gifts (so far) are much needed new shirts/sweaters.
Bad news for CJ yesterday. He SOOOOO wanted this job with our new Medical school and was waiting to hear back. They sent him a generic e-mail yesterday saying that due to staffing changes the position was no longer being offered!!
Very fishy. Sounds to us like they got ahead of themselves. They still have a large number of faculty to hire...and THESE would be the people feeding info to the head of "e-learning" in order to build the e-learning modules.
So I comforted him...said it was better than the job still being a go and not even getting an interview! (there were 30 applicants!).
I think they might just re-tool the job position and re-advertise it towards spring. I told CJ I have complete faith in HIM and the Universe to make his career dreams come true.
Still I know it was a blow to him. He seems to have lost some of the motivation he had going for school, but perhaps with the extensions he just doesn't have to push as hard right now.
When I got home on Tuesday, CJ had decorated our diningroom window too!!, and tonight it's either the tree, or we make his famous peanut butter cups.
