I'm wicked tall.

Random huge-ass bolt, for some reason:

Fascinating, eh? My MRI appointment is for noon. It’s 12:13 and I’m still in the waiting room. Starting to get annoyed. Expect faux Super 8 videos of the empty reception area shortly.

So Many Doctors Appointments

I just booked the final outstanding doctors appointment. Hopefully it’s the last one for a long time.

There is an 11 day stretch at the end of May/beginning of June when I have four appointments scheduled. A neurologist appointment for the migraines, a CT scan of my noodle, a different neurologist appointment to review the CT scan and the MRI I’m having tomorrow which will most likely tell me that the spot in the Easter Sunday MRI is nothing, and it all wraps up with the one year follow up with the weight loss surgeon. I’m actually looking forward to that last one. The others? Not so much.

Yeah… I am really ready for all of this to be over.

Friday

I so need a vacation. Not even a vacation, really, just a break. Just a little downtime. It’s not happening this weekend. Tomorrow I have an MRI, a ton of house and yard work to do, a birthday get together for my father, and possibly a house painter/vinyl siding consult? A lot of the house and yard work will spill over to Sunday, though I checked the weather yesterday and it’s supposed to rain. At least that’s what it said yesterday, I don’t know what it’s going to say tomorrow.

I asked Jen if we could do something next weekend to decompress. I don’t care what. A day trip somewhere? Maybe? Just tell everyone we’re going away and then lock ourselves in the house and hide from the real world for a couple of days while watching bad TV? That would work. Literally anything, just so long as there are no deadlines or responsibilities or headaches or health issues. Just give us a break for a couple of days.

Next week at work is going to be super busy and probably pretty difficult. I’m looking forward to putting it in the rear view mirror, if you know what I mean.

I’m feeling okay today health wise. So far so good. My stomach was off all day yesterday. Today is much better. I even had a real breakfast today. Here’s hoping that my stomach stays on that course.

I want to take the camera (cameras) out somewhere one of these days. It’s still pretty cold in the mornings and that’s turning me off. Also, it’s always cloudy and rainy because it’s Spring in New England. Uh… just a couple of days of downtime… that’s all I ask for. Pretty please, universe… give me a break.
