Lap Band

So I had my esophagram today.  The radiologist that did the test said everything looked okay to him, but I still had to get a CD of the test to take my my lapband pholks.

Once I got home I wondered if I could see the test on my laptop, but it was software for a wintel, which was not a problem because that is what my darling hubby has on his desk across from mine!

Everything loaded up easily and I was able to see the different frames, etc., but then I couldn’t get the CD out.  Oops.  The computer just kept telling me that the ejection had failed.

So I copied the CD to my account on hubby’s computer and then made jpgs of all the frames and emailed them to myself so I could look at them on my Mac.

And you know where this is going?  Right?

I had to do it. Really.

And hubby was able to get the CD out of his computer with no problem — of course!

… is safe for at least another week.

Dr. C thought it was looking really good and I should just keep doing what I’m doing and come back on the 16th.

*Big Sigh O’Releif!*

Today we took our son’s store keys to him at the place he is working and he and his boss treated us to an early supper.  I chose the artichoke heart sub and my hubby went for the philly steak and cheese.  I only got to finish half my sandwich and a few of their awesome fries.  The lemonade is devine!  I still have a cookie from there, too.

This has been a big cookie eating week.  Like Girl Scouts’ cookies for breakfast with some coffee.  After work with some milk.  How ’bout a snack?  Guess I’ll just have some more Girl Scouts’ cookies!

I refused to even get on the scale at the doctor’s office.  I knew better with all the cookies I’ve consumed.  Why get bad news when it could be so easially avoided.

I woke up drunk…

02/01/2009

…with sleep on Wednesday.

I’d gone to bed before nine because I was totally wiped out and so could have gone to bed at 6pm if I’d been home by then.  I did wake up at 6 am only to find out that classes were cancelled at UK and that I didn’t have to go into the office. 

Of course I’d known this was a possibility when I left work the day before so I’d brought plenty of work home to do because I had too much left to do to prepare for our big event on Thursday night.  I knew that because I’d been working some incredibly long days and on the weekend, too.

Still it was all good.  It was for my most favorite project of nearly every year that I’ve had this job.  It would probably be every year if they hadn’t out sourced it the first year I had this job — but hey!  Dey din’t no I coulda dun if fer dem den!

When I did wake up about two and a half hours later I felt like I was drunk.  Seriously.  I don’t know if it was because I’d slept for so long or too hard or what, but I woke up feeling drunk and tipsy.  I nearly tripped over my feet even!

I made a nice pot of coffee, took the pups out and fed them, snapped some pictures of ice laden trees around my house, and then settled into some work stuff.

That was pretty much my Wednesday.  Work for a while.  Take some pictures.  Play with the pups.  Work for a while…etc.

Here’s a short video of Gracie and the Minikins…

We lost no power or even cable during this ice storm.  Yes, we were blessed.  Especially when one considers that the state is under "emergency" and the National Guard has been mobilized to assist — and that we live in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lexington!  I know my Dad in the Big O has been without power for several days already, but he says he is fine and doesn’t need anything.

I’ve thought of many things to blog about these last few days, but didn’t have the energy, or will, to blog them.

Click on this photo of my big giant kid that I took yesterday, while he was getting ready (dawdling) to pick up an Rx and our birthday cake, and it will take you to that slide show.  See there was no birthday cake on my birthday and he had to work on his so we got a cake from Magee’s yesterday.  Ummm.  Cake.

I think it’s very odd how I can eat cake quite easially compared to how I can’t eat bread.  Odd.  Isn’t cake a form of bread anyway?

I seem to be losing weight again — even though I’ve not been to the gym in like SIX MONTHS.  Yes, it really has been that long.  I will be back in the gym starting tomorrow.  Hubby may be going to.  I hope so.  He won’t stay as long as me, but I know he’ll feel better once he gets used to it!  I am so looking forward to the gym tomorrow.  I may even get a household membership so my darling son may use the gym, too.
