So today, I am 52 years of age.

I am so saddened by people who say I am skin and bones....

I have so many things I am still waiting to hear about with tests results.
Shots to boost this...tests to help that....pills to fix this
I regret nothing in my life....
EXCEPT
I did not open my eyes wider to reality.
I have so many more tests and things coming at me....
And I 'm okay with it.
Just trying to figure out life!
Tests, re tested.....test again
I am the human guinea pig.
These tests shows one thing....Then, they do the next one....It shows another thing. And then another thing, and then another thing
Family, friends, acquaintances. ALL waiting for an answer.
I have NOTHING.
All I know is my pancreas at this time....portion of my liver...BUT going back in for a cervical test and GI results
Waiting for tests.. waiting for answers
WAITING FOR SOMETHING
I am frustrated.
I am depressed.
I am NOT hopeless
I am still alive.
As I will be for years to come.
This is NOT where my story ends.
I'm NOT tired.
I'm not done
How small can one get?
Size 14 to size 3
This is not the end of my story, it is
just a new chapter.

Hello all!!!! This is your local fear free, cage free appeditive grommer!!
I know you all think that I disappeared because I haven't posted anything for a very long time.
For those of you who are also on my personal page, you all know I have some medical things going on in my life right now.
I am starting a journey, going through the BIG "C" that no one ever wants to talk about, and I don't mean CANINE.
A lot of you are going to want to keep their normal schedules...
BUT!!!
Due to multiple doctors appointments, procedures tests etc. I will be having to have clients scheduled around said appointments.
It is a "pause"
Not a period.
This is NOT the end of a book!
Just starting a new chapter.
Thank you to all of you that have been with me since the beginning!!!
Don't worry...
I got this!

I apologize to everyone in advance.
Buying a home Is stressful and if it's not one thing, it's another.
I will have to be closed for another week due to things we are trying to get done here.
I am trying to get to everyone as soon as I can. But just have been having so many things come up and need to be done.
I apologize profusely for the inconvenience. I've caused you.
I hope you all will stick around and see what happens next. Love you and miss everyone!

Aunt Angie's Place!
We are moving!
We were supposed to close on June 12...
Now it is May 29th.
Our final walk through is May 28th

I am not sure how long now it will take to set up and be ready for clients. But i think that it will be June 9th.
I know some have appointments before then and I am trying to get everybody in and rescheduled, where they need to be.
Thank you to everyone who understands that buying a new house is VERY stressful!! Please feel free to message me, but for the next few weeks, I may not be available quickly.
I look forward to seeing everybody at our new location in Albers in the next weeks! Thank you for everyone's time and patience. I love you all!!!
