Uneventful days can be good!
My days are pretty uneventful lately, but I've had such a pleasant week and a half. I've been going to a lot of doctors since I've come home. It's like a quick pit stop before I head back to the craziness up at UConn. It turns out my body's all out of wack. I have something wrong with my metabolism and it's causing my liver, stomach, and gall bladder to act abnormally. This could explain my weight gain, but it also explains that really painful day three weeks ago. I didn't in fact have a kidney infection. My gall bladder and stomach was just freaking out on me. So...I've been ordered to change my life around. I really can't drink as much alcohol as I think I can anymore. I've been put on a no/low carb diet for two weeks while I lose some weight. I'm also getting accupuncture and taking this herbal drink twice a day that has to be the nastiest thing I've ever consumed. I actually chug it while holding my breath so that I don't smell what I'm drinking. Liz...you have to try it.
So other than that, I spent some time in NYC. Just a day and a half, but that's all I needed to feel at home again. I had dinner and walked around with Cynthia. We're hanging out again this weekend or on Tuesday. I went and saw a Max Ernst show at the Met. Once again, nothing inspires me like surrealism. I don't know what it is about that genre that I love so much. Maybe it's that it's based on something deep, yet it looks playful at times. I didn't stay there long...it was Wednesday with lots of school field trips in attendance. Too many kids and old people haha. I hung out with Laura later that day. We did a lot of walking and talking. I had fun. Too bad she bought a hat that she didn't really want...I still think she can pimp it. :)
Kate, Jackie, and I are going into NYC tomorrow night. We're going to a fairly new party downtown at a place called Girls Room. I hear it's fun, but we'll see.
Oh yeah...I got an ultrasound done on my abdomen today. Can I just say that it actually hurts to get an ultrasound? The lady was pushing down on my body so hard. She kept getting me right under the rib cage...who knew it's so sensitive right there. I hope everything comes back clear.
