USMB Coffee Shop IV

I had solid food for the first time in a full week today. After sipping clear liquids for two days, going straight to solids (not even soft) feels like a punch to the gut. I take one or two bites and feel full.

At least you are getting back to the solids, even if slowly.

Back from the doc. Mamm was done again...5 pics this time. Magnified. They have an on staff specialist too. Said they didn't like to keep people waiting for a letter and could tell me within 15 minutes. And they did.
All clear. Calcification, no changes from last years mamm. See me next November.

Good to hear!

I guess the not knowing affected me more than I thought. An hour before I went..and in the parking lot..I broke down. The ladies inside doing the mamm noticed and were very supportive and kind.

I am exhausted. Struggling to NOT go to bed. But dayum. I guess I was tensed up big time and didn't even know it.

920 miles of driving so far this week through snow, sleet, rain, wind and some nice weather too. Friday is the last day, hopefully I beat the snow into Detroit, so I can study from 6:30 to 7:30 after the two hour fifteen minute trip. I understand Gracie completely. I figure I either pass out from high blood pressure before the test, have a stroke when I see the first couple of questions or throw up after finding out I failed or passed. My whole new future hangs on a 50 question test.

I think you’ll do well because you are putting in the effort.

I’ll throw some positive thinking your way, too.

As they say in hollyweird...break a leg, Save! And when you see you passed with flying colors...stop somewhere and enjoy a nice cup of coffee or treat yourself to a nice lunch!

Go rest! You deserve it.

That's why I think it is so cruel to make people wait. Happy of the results. But still angry that they put you through all those days of anxiety.

Been there done that just two years ago. After nothing by mouth for days those first few ice shavings taste like filet mignon. And that first hot cup of broth--pure heaven. But so happy you're on the way back to normal however long that takes rickchickie.

ALARM CLOCK

That is a lot like buying a Drum set for a kid...

She only uses it to get up for school, at least so far. She wants to feel more grown-up.

It can also be used to teach her to be self-reliant. My daughter got both her girls their own alarm clocks when they started school and made them responsible for getting up, getting ready, and making their lunches. One girl got up a couple of hours early to "primp", the other preferred an extra hour of shuteye to the whole hair-n-makeup schtick.

I have to go enjoy my cats playing. A kitten does liven things up!

Mine is again plopped in front of the monitor. Sigh. I have to stretch to look around her because if I try to move her out of the way...all hell breaks loose. At least she no longer attacks my hands as I type on the keyboard. It's a start.

You have a kitten!

 

[gallantwarrior]

What in hell is this thing?

Oh, yeah! That's on of my favorites.
