Its Finally time...

I finally decided im done sitting on my ass wasting my life away. I took a trip down to chicopee to check out the porter and chester intsitute. I actually loved it and Am in my last phases of starting school. I will be starting april 25th. Im doing the night classes which are from like 6pm to 11pm i think.  If all goes well my back should be better just about the time im graduating 18 months.  I was approved for the private disability insurance till retirement age but honestly i cant do that. Ive always loved working and i think thats what made me last 10 years at c&s.  Im doing the computers and computer network training. At the end i will be a+ certified microsoft certified and a couple other certs. Should be plenty to get an entry level  job somewhere like mass mutual or something.



 

I am trying hard to get the hartford or The army to help with education costs also, but looks like it will mostly be government loans and private loans :/. The program is quite expensive so im hoping it works out for me in the end.  Worst case scenario is i continue my computer business and do what i love :).  Short quick blog but wanted to let anyone who cares know i am going to school finally. Ive gotten over leaving c&s and moving on .. GO TEAM FERNETTE

 

 

HEyyyyy MACARENA!!!!

About 4 times a day ive had the same thought go through my head since i hurt my back. "what the hell am i going to do for work when im better" This last meeting with the surgeon gave me hope. He said there is some fusion going on. My opinion would suggest otherwise but i am trying to stay positive about the whole situation.  The radiologist who read the CT scan dissagreed with the surgeon and says no fusion. Who to believe :/. So i finally decided to take some online classes instead of just wasting time sitting at home all day. Im taking a entry level xml/html class to start. I was lucky that the instructor let me join in a week behind the other students. So far i really like the setup of online learning. Ive found it a challenge to watch kaylee, interact with her and get work done, But in the long run i figured it will only help me with what i want to do for a career ( which is??????? i dont have a clue!)  The one thing i always am interested in and love doing is fixing computers. But i decided i needed more skills then just technical skills so i thought web design classes would add to my resume and help me expand my artistic abilities along with my technical skills.  I Did a website for a client in easthampton called www.zinashair.com. It is a Hair salon run by one of my buddies wife called Hairspace. Very cool place check it out sometime!



 

I got a prescription for physical therapy and am looking forward to starting that. I chose to go to the body shoppe in greeenfield. I have heard multiple good things about their physical therapy program.  It is going to be a 3 month program so should bring me right to good weather time.... WOOHOO cant wait for sunshine, warm days!!!!   There is just so much more to do when its nice outside.



kaylee and I have done everything possible inside and have a serious case of cabin fever. Believe it or not its only 6 days until kaylee is 2 years old. Everyone told melissa and I that time will fly by but holy crapola they werent kidding. She is growing up so fast. She has such a hilarious personality, the things she says crack me up daily. Its almost time to start dance classes and More activities. We are talking about joining the ymca in greenfield. I think it would be a great thing! I personally grew up going to the ymca daily as a kid and teenager. It pretty much kept me sane during my school years. I also heard they added a 10 person jacuzzi which would feel ohhh so good to relax in.



And in closing i just want to state that I am so excited about spring coming that i think i will peepee in my pants the first time i go fishing this year. I didnt get much fishing done last year with my back pain but feel I can get ALOT more in this year. Im sad everytime i look out back at the snowcovered boat and jsut want to start it and hear it go VROOOOMVROOOOM.  Soon enough kortney Soon enough!

 



 

 

News from the Home Front In GreenburgvillestoN!

NO HANKY PANKY Dr Jones!!!!

Know what movie that is? Its indiana jones and the temple of doom. Classic! Growing up me and my sister would watch that along with The goonies, Romancing the stone and a few other movies Over and Over and Over. There wasnt really much to do when we lived in florida accept watch tv and stay indoors because it was about 200 degrees outside. I guess that's why i live in new england. I like the snow( im ready for spring though) and LOVE fall. I take it for granted where we live but then i travel to a flat state and can really appreciate the mountains. We live in a beautiful area of the Us.

Ever since we got back from vacation kaylee has been such a talkomatico! She looked at us yesterday at mimi and grampas and saw a stethoscope and said DOCTOR. Where the heck did she learn that. Im going to guess she learned that on mickey mouse clubhouse, That's a major staple of kaylee's daily tv diet. That and caillou and Dora. We put a small tv in her room to try and get her to interact with her toys more then she has been and its actually working. She spends a good amount of time in there which can be quite nice to be able to watch adult programming on the living room tv.

Anger such a fun thing :/

For Christmas we got some pretty cool gifts. From grampa we got a shovel that says "free snow shovel all you want" Its super cute. And a Sign that says The fernette's. We also got a fernette sign from erin which is hanging On our carport. I love homemade gifts@!

Sign Erin made us for Christmas. Love it!

Grampa made us this sign!

Kaylee is loving the snow. She didn't really get to play in it last year because she was only like 9 months old. I built kaylee a jump and took her for a ride on her inflatable sled. Bad idea kortney, She flipped over in the air and the sled dragged her face down with the sled on top of her about 4 feet. Lesson learned, Make her wear a helmet!


Sooooo December was a good m0nth.... January has started out good. I have a ct scan come the end of january, Then a follow-up Like feb 5th to talk about another surgery since the fusion failed. Dr mick said he wants to go through my front this time and put titanium rods on the front of the disc space. Ugh. I dont know if i can handle another surgery, The last one was hell. IT was most likely because i had an infection for a million months. Maybe this one will be much smoother, I dont know. But hopefully january ends on a good note!

HASTA LA BYE BYE!
