Countdown: FOUR.....

Today was a good news day.  I woke up and got Riley to school on time, and went to work.  I called my Surgeon's office and made certain that I could have surgery even with poison ivy, and it was OKAY to go to my regular doctor and receive an injection of cortisone-AKA hyper-adult-isone-in my fanny.  My Lord in Heaven above, that stuff stings.  All I could say to the nurse, was "Thanks a lot."  I meant it kindly, but really, how do you thank someone cheerfully for sticking a needle in your backside?  We both laughed and I hobbled up to the cashier to then PAY for the medicine I carried out of the clinic in my rear end.  It was a matter of minutes before the shot began to work, though, and I am feeling much better, and much relieved that there will be no hang-up for surgery day from this ordeal.

Work is wrapping up nicely.  I have finished a HUGE transcription project from a 2.5 hour meeting of ten or so people, sometimes all talking at the same time.  Took me almost three full days of working as I was able to get all 4559 words transcribed.  Yay me!  And, now I'm typing again, because I WANT to.  I think I could do with some brain surgery, too, while I'm under.

But it's okay.  I'll make do with the brain God gave me, however convoluted its pathways may be.

I have tonight at home with my family, and with two broken computers to keep me busy.  I will try to get them fixed tonight.  I told both people that I would either have it done tonight, or I wouldn't get it done.  So, wish me luck!  Or, I guess, wish them luck. :)

Tomorrow night I get to go hang out with my bestest friend Lindsay Gayler!  We are going to play music for a going away party for some of her family.  I can't wait to eat BBQ until I can't breathe, and then try to play the guitar and sing real loud!  Bring it! 

Saturday, I don't have the slightest idea what I'll do, but I can assure you that I will be nowhere NEAR the out-of-doors and the evils of ivy.  Next post, I'll fill you in :)

Sunday, still dreading.  Liquids only and a Grape-Flavored Magnesium Citrate Cocktail at 5 p.m.

I think I'll gulp it from a wine glass, just so I'll feel sophisticated.

And then....well....I'll spare you the details.  There is a good friend of mine who can finish the and then phrase....with something her daughter said in a game once upon a time.  Inside joke, but I KNOW she reads this, and I KNOW she'll get it!  AND SHE BETTER TEXT ME WHEN SHE DOES! :)

Have super fun this weekend all, and God Bless You All!
