About Me | Worked for the telephone co in Marianna for 5 yrs, enlisted in the Navy & served 4 yrs (loved it! Got orders to California, loved it there, but when my Dad had a heart attack & had to have a quadriple bypass, 1 of the 1st in the country at the time, I req & rec a transfer to FL, where I served the last 2 yrs. Met & married a Marine Corps pilot there, & when I got out of the USN, my daughter & I joined him in Hawaii, where we lived 4 yrs (& loved it!!), then he got orders to Quantico, VA. I began school at George Mason Univ, & worked eves as manager of Matchmaker Int., a DC dating service (fun & interesting). Later, Revlon hired me as a Consultant, & a few months later, I was promoted & more travel added, & my marriage ended. I Revlon bought Max Factor, & I was asked to train those reps, which I did, more travel, which kept me away fr home Mom - Fri, which is not cool w/a teen, even when I had someone staying in my home w/her. So I tried to resign, but Revlon stepped in & offered me a transfer to FL & another promotion, & that's how I wound up back here. I met my present husband & told him I'd decided I'd never marry again, so we were like shadows for a few yrs, until my Dad's health began failed, & Daddy loved him, & told me he'd asked him 4 my hand, so we married (1 of the better decions I've made), not knowing I had MS or anything else wrong w/me. I just began falling for no reason, & feeling fatigued. My hubby wanted me out of my stressful job, so I resigned, & took a state job, which I loved (surprisingly!), & it was perfect 4 me...lots of interaction w/people, lots of challenges, & only 10 min fr home. But my health con't to decline, & when I finally faced the fact that something was wrong & saw a neuro, I was diag w/MS (1st), & less than a yr later, became unable to work, & had to medically retire. So here I am, joyous to be alive, enjoying each day to the fullest, even the wo...(read more) |
