In the car this morning:

James: I think I should bet $100 on the Steelers game.
Me (with raised eyebrows): $100?! Why?
James: Well, if they win, I'd win. If they lose, I wouldn't be spending $100 on a Superbowl party. It's a wash.

That's some kind of weird male logic isn't it?

I went out to lunch yesterday with Heather and cardamom_23 to Jocks ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned lately how much I fucking HATE health insurance down here?! Just in case it hasn't been recently stated, I FUCKING HATE HEALTH INSURANCE DOWN HERE ( Read more... )

So I went to the oncologist yesterday, and everything looks good. I didn't have to get another CT scan, because, unless my blood test (the dreaded cancer marker test) comes back elevated, then he is not worried that it has returned. He changed some medications according to symptoms I had and questions I asked, and was generally a nice guy about the ( Read more... )

I don't remember anything exciting happening last night. I folded laundry and watched TV. Elizabeth ate chicken that wasn't in nugget form... that was exciting. She wouldn't eat the pasta, though, because it was shells and -white- cheese. I guess pasta has to have yellow dye #7 and red dye #5 to make her happy ( Read more... )

Well, today's doctor appointment could have been much worse. There was less glaring than usual, and grudgingly given praise for my new exercise regimen (although he pshaw'd the yoga somewhat), weight loss (5 pounds now!!), lowered blood pressure (106/80, although that bottom number was higher today than it should have been), and something else that ( Read more... )

And to top off my already dismal week, I just pulled a fricken crown out of my head. Ouch! I wasn't even eating anything -interesting-! No Tootsie rolls or caramels or even gum. Just a plain old salad.

*stomps foot in frustration*

I need a hug. Or something.

So I had a wonderful weekend! :) Spent an atrocious amount of money at Target in their $1 bins (yaaaaaaaaaaaarn) but got a goodly number of stocking stuffers, little 'Hi, I'm thinking of you' silly gifts for my secret pal, and 'treat' things for Elizabeth. This involved blowing up an unwise number of balloons last night (lung exercise!!!) and ( Read more... )

Yesterday’s doctor’s appointment did NOT go as planned. Apparently my lungs are not healing up very well. He mentioned something about closed channels, scar tissue, heart damage, all that good stuff. So I need to do some walking and deep breathing exercises to stretch my lungs out. But apparently that’s causing my chest pains more than the pleurisy ( Read more... )

We got our adoption paperwork from Lutheran Family Services yesterday ( Read more... )

I am so tired, I could curl up under my desk and sleep, and the sound of the elevator continually beeping (I sit right outside the lobby, you see) wouldn't keep me awake. The Tylenol PM didn't work quite as well as it did yesterday... I woke up a couple of times during the night, and I feel really groggy today. However, I have a nice cup of tea ( Read more... )
