I went outside this morning to move my truck so that the delivery guys can finally deliver my new washer and dryer and saw that the temperature was 7, that's 7 degrees. I have lived in Washington all but 6 months of my 44 years and I don't think I can remember it ever being this cold where I live. Not only is it cold but we have a foot of snow on the ground. And it has been there for a week. The forecast is to get up to nine inches more today and tomorrow. Usually if we get snow it's 1-3 inches and it is gone a day or two later. The temperature has not been above freezing for a week as well hence the reason the snow is sticking around. It is not supposed to get above freezing till Thursday or so. I love the snow but don't like this freezing cold. And a temperature closer to zero than 32, well... the less said about that the better.
So, enough about the snow. I will be glad to see this year come to an end. It has not been a good one for me health wise. I used to never get sick. My last job I was there 14.5 years and you can count on one hand the times I called in sick or went home sick. Just this past year you would need both your hands.
I have been having tests to see as to why I am having pains in my right leg, right side of my abdomen and around my back for the past 3 months. I had a pelvic ultra sound Wednesday and have a doctor's appointment on Monday to hear the results of that and a blood test I had as well.
I have to say I am really nervous. There are too many things that can be wrong that start with the letter C. I am hoping that by thinking about the worst I will actually be surprised and it will be something benign like cysts. Oh well, time will tell.
