Post-It Notes From The Edge*

Everyone loves a list post, yay!

  • Dermatology Dr. was uneventful – turns out I have fungal infection. Turns out, it’s not minor. Turns out, when I called and said I needed an appointment and the lady said “three weeks” and I said, “Ok, but there is definitely something going on and I kind of need to see him PDQ, if there is a cancellation, can you please call me, I’m just across the street and I can be there in like 3.8 minutes” I should have, instead, told her I needed to get in sooner? I don’t know – I’m confused…I thought I’d done that. Oh well. I’ve got cream and if that doesn’t work, I get to go to Mayo…where they don’t accept my insurance, yay! Ugh.
  • Came home last night and decided to inquire about refinancing the house, to take advantage of the low interest rate. Ended up jumping in with both feet and decided overnight, that probably wasn’t a good idea, given everything else currently going on – so I’m putting that on hold for 4 weeks.
  • Last night at 1 AM, my dog became that dog. You know the one I mean…the dog in your neighborhood that bark, bark, barks all night long for no reason that can be identified other than to be a utter and complete nuisance. I got up, fed her, gave her water, let the cat in, in case the cat being out in the backyard was really creating a spacial problem for her and basically told her to shut up before I turn her into some delicious fajitas. It worked, for an hour and 34 minutes. She started again at 2:34 – only this time, for about 5 minutes. She was quiet until 4:06 and after a night of being up and down and not being able to sleep, I finally said screw it.
  • I’ve got some other news. It’s good.
  • I get to go back to the regular lab this week rather than the hospital lab. And I only have to go twice. I like that a lot better.
  • My hair is finally long enough to wear in a pony tail – so why am I really itching to cut it off?
  • My stepmom, who I love dearly, is going to the surgical oncologist tomorrow to find out more about having her kidney removed. She has cancer in her left kidney and they’re at the stage now where they’re trying to make decisions about the next steps (surgery, radiation, chemo). If you’ve got a minute, a spare thought/prayer for her would be great.
  • The old man totally ignored me for two hours last night while playing video games – the kitchen was a mess (and is still a mess this morning) and the threat I made last week about finding a cleaning person didn’t seem to make an impact – I guess it’s time to actually put the plan in motion. Ugh.
  • I finally deleted over 500 ‘Server Down’ text messages from my phone this weekend. It’s really annoying, because each message is given a unique ID from which it comes – so it’s not like I had 500 stacked messages – I had 500 individual messages that required me to click “Edit” then “Delete” 500 times. It was a good time.
  • I’ve got to do some shopping this weekend – would love some ‘live feedback from the dressing room’ – if anyone is interested. I really suck at clothes shopping and I *gotta* do this!

That’s pretty much all I got right now. I’m working on my second cup, about to go take a shower and then head into the office a little early.

Yay @ Good news tho – super excited :)

*Today’s blog title is brought to you by my inability to think of something meaningful to title this post

Can’t wait to hear more about your good news. Praying for your stepmom. Would love to shop with you, not because I have any taste in clothes, but cause it would mean getting away. Lol
