The things that happen to me!

[Guest guest]

Hello all you good people!

Ya know...I'm the first to whine and complain when things don't go my

way, but today I want to tell you about the wonderful week I've had!

First it probably started off about 2 weeks ago when I got that word

that I was approved for my reconstructive surgery. I exhibited amazing self

control and didn't harass the insurance lady at the plastic surgeons office.

I simply called her to tell about the approval and left the rest to her.

Well she called me on Tuesday and gave me a date for surgery, August 9th.

Pretty good, huh? My boss gave me $1 raise....just for now (her words!)

with the promise of more to come. She's more than willing to give me the

time off I need to recover and also will allow me to work from home on a

laptop. I have the best boss!

I've been having an ongoing problem with Sprint PCS. Readers Digest

version, I dropped a new phone I bought in Nov and unbeknownst to me, caused

an opening in the housing. When I took it for repair, the hussy (sorry, CSR

who oh so politely took care of me) voided my warranty and told me, " you

need to buy a new phone! " Well, I've been pitching a fit about this for

about a month. Finally found out about the retention department and they

just send me out a new (reconditioned) phone, credited my bill for 2 months,

and also added another $35 credit for the activation fee. Then I gave my

hubby's old phone to my niece. We both got a $30 credit for that and an

addition $10 for the referral! So I got about $100 worth of free service,

and a new phone!

Then Dr Fisher emailed me last night....and this is pretty big

stuff..... Some of you may remember that I did a little piece on the local

news with him in the fall. Well they (channel 13) are starting a new series

that they want to sell to the network. It's a health show (formatted like

Oprah I'm told.) Well anyhow, they contacted Doc, asked him to be a part of

it and specifically asked for me too! So I guess I must have been somewhat

coherent! They will show this show 7 times locally, twice in prime time and

believe that the network will pick it up in the fall. WOW!

So now of course, I'm stressing over what to wear, how to do my hair,

etc. And what if I'm just a stammering idiot? I am a blonde you

know...Polish too!

So it seems like finally my life is pulling itself together. In some

ways it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want to relax and

enjoy this ride.....and I may take a chance and do just that!

I'll post more about dates and times when I have it.

And as always....thanks so much to you all for listening (or reading) my

ramblings!
