It is hard to believe that 2013 will be over in a few hours. I had a chance to see JJ this weekend for a delayed Christmas. We had an awesome time filled with gifts, adventures and Krispy Kreme. This was my favorite photo that summed up my trip. It has been an interesting year. I was looking back at the 13 things I planned to do in 2013. Here is a quick recap and whether I was successful. 13 things to do in 2013 I will spend more time with my son at his home and at my home.   This year, I have seen him once a month for a long weekend. He spent a week with me in RR in August. Hopefully, I can convince his father to meet me half way so we have more adventures in RR.  I will not let ED win. I will continue the fight. The fight continues! I will admit the last few months haven't been easy without insurance and medication.

It is hard to believe that December is almost half over and 2013. My editor had an emergency last week so I had to paginate the entire paper. It was quite experience involving eight hours, lots of caffeine and tons of prayer. For my hard work, I was given the Staples credit card and told I could pick out the day planner, pens and any other supplies I needed. To me, it was the equivalent of having a shopping spree in Macy's. It took me a hour to pick out the planner and 30 minutes to pick out the pens. I am a very happy Jackie!!! It has been a busy month so far for me. So far, I have : Used    a free moment to decorate my computer monitor, which is very old school and cracked to look a little better. Discovered that health insurance is no longer cheap. Through my work, it will cost me about $425 a month for JJ and I for the cheap version.
