Time just flies by, doesn't it? Amber, it's sweet of you to worry about me...thanks! Everything is great here! I have lots to catch up with. When I was home I had so much time to play on the Dis, but my time was no longer my own when I returned to work. We're permitted to use the internet for personal stuff when on break or our lunch hour, but before I returned I made a pact with myself not to use it at work. I was just too tempted to use it when not on break/lunch so I promised myself I would stay off altogether.
DH is doing very well. The cardiac cath showed no major blockages, just a small one which was under 10%, which in the whole scheme of things is nothing. He's a very happy and thankful camper right now, and so am I! His docs want him to lose weight, have a sleep study, and some other tests etc, but they were extremely pleased with the outcome of the cath. He was told that most people don't get a warning. I'm just so emotional these days-I think its a delayed reaction to all that we've been thru since Nov. when his brother died, then my cancer diagnosis, and DH's heart problems, along with his brother's and sister's. I find myself crying happy tears over the smallest things. I think I'm finally releasing all the emotions that I kept inside when I had my surgery and treatments. I made myself get thru one day at a time and deal with what was in front of me each day. I'm really a huge chicken when it comes to medical tests and procedures, so I really surprised myself at how well I coped with it all. Many, many, many thanks to all of you who were here for me and posted and encouraged me during my ordeal.
Talk about shedding happy tears...I woke up this morning ready to finish packing for our trip which starts on Tuesday,and started crying about that. My obsessive planning also helped to get me thru those rough days, and now the trip is just a few days away. We fly out of Atlantic City at 7:30 on Tues. morning.I'm just so excited! This will not be a commando vacation because we've been there so many times since 1974, but time to relax and smell the roses (Epcot Flower and Garden Fest) Gary and I spent our honeymoon there in 1974, and May 11th will be our 34th anniversary. We have a dinner reservation at the Gaylord Palms, Villa de Flora that night. The cruise will be a real treat for us. We cruised on Carnival back in 2000, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We only made a couple of ADR's, and no dining plan this time cause we figure we'll eat way too much on the cruise.
My plan is to finish the packing today, then work on the house tomorrow. I also have to pre-pay some bills and get all of that stuff organized. Our son and dil are closing on their first home on Tues, May 13, so they'll be moving the following weekend. Then we'll be going to the Outer Banks in NC the weekend after that. It will be a 4 day weekend thing, and we're very much looking forward to that too!
So, with that said, I probably won't be on the Dis very much. We decided not to take the laptop with us. I've been reading your journals and thinking about all of you! Thank you again Julie, Amber, Diane, Amy and anyone else who has checked in. Wendy, I know you're out there somewhere, and I miss hearing from you. I hope all is well!
I'm playing my Jimmy Buffet music, so its time to get moving with the packing. Have a wonderful weekend all!
I hope that everything is ok with your DH. Sending lots of pixie dust your way 
Relax and enjoy yourselves!! Congratulations on your 34 year anniversary! 
There's something so relaxing about being at the beach!
