Hmmmmmph

I am blanking on what to even say. I think that means that I'm either tired or that my life is uneventful.

Congrats to me for working out. I got up and exercised before work. I consider this a pretty big feat since I ended up backing out on Monday. I did about 30 minutes of cardio this morning, so I felt pretty accomplished before I headed to work.

I ate Willy's for lunch with the Tuesday crew.

Well, I went by the lab today to get some bloodwork done and to pick up my new 24-hour urine collection jug. Doesn't it seem like I get blood drawn every five seconds? It sure does to me. Today only took two sticks, so that was relieving. It was funny because they were all like, "Oooh, it's 'Dotson.'" I am a Laboratory Celebrity - a Celaboratory. Hey, that's close to "celebratory." Anyway, the endocrinologist saw some abnormal levels on previous my lab tests, so I was doing a few repeats today to make sure I'm screwed up.

I took a journey to Publix tonight. I got more of my new favorite thing - CHERRIES! Last week I was in a meeting and people were eating an unusual-looking fruit. Coincidentally, people had been eating them at the hospital meeting a few weeks ago, and I meant to Google images of fruit so I could figure out what they were. Well, it turns out they were cherries! I tried one and LOVED THEM! I got some when we were down at the beach and got a big ol' bag tonight. I think I could get carried away. CHERRIED AWAY! Can you see my enthusiasm?

There was a drunk guy in the Publix parking lot. He stumbled out of the liquor store and was cussing about how Applebee's wouldn't serve him (it's in the same shopping center). For one of few times in my life, I was glad I looked like a pre-teen because he didn't try to ask me to get him alcohol. However, he did look at me and give me a friendly smile and greeting. He actually seemed like a really caring person. It kind of made me sad. He was a good-looking, 50-something man and it just made me want to learn about him. I'm well aware that interviewing him would not have been a good idea, but it just kinda made me wonder about his story. The words "his story" are basically "history." Do you think there's a connection?

Okay, this is what happens when my day wasn't eventful. I just ramble about random things and pretty much let you in on the thoughts inside my head.

Happy Wednesday almost!

One last thing - The Bachelorette season finale was last night. She was down to Prince Charming and Prince Not-Quite-As-Charming-But-More-Real. I was really hoping the latter would win, but he didn't. I really admired him because, having lost his mom less than two years ago, he was really focused on quality of time versus quantity. I think that's very important.

That was my last hoorah for the night.

No, urine trouble

I'm kinda perturbed with the lab. When I walked down the street with my jug o' urine and arrived at the lab, they informed me that they actually needed to give me a specific collection container. They said that they had a kit they needed to order for the 24-hour test. So, it appears as though that entire shenanigan was for nothing whatsoever. Congratulations on: 1) making me do all that for nothing, and 2) dragging out this "what's wrong" thing out a little longer.

Although it's very rare for me to go shopping, I've got to admit that I went AGAIN yesterday. I was so excited to have my Thursday night free that I went to a few stores on the way home. I got three items, and they include: a new purse (it is made out of recycled bottles!), a pair of bright blue shorts (just like the gray ones from Wednesday), and a pair of skinny jeans. Yes, I said it - skinny jeans. I've always been too weirded out by the way I look in them, but these fit like they were made for me...a 4-inch taller version of me. I'm still slowly adjusting to the thought of them by trying them on periodically throughout the day.

I know I am talking about it more than I should, but I really don't feel well. I woke up this morning sounding absolutely horrible. It got a little better as the day went on, but I'm feeling gross again now. I am doing my vest in hopes of helping the situation, but it feels like it's mainly sinus-related. A part of me wonders if it's time to go back to the ENT to talk about Sinus Surgery #3. NOT INTERESTED.

I ran three miles today and then jumped in the pool. It was miraculous!

Yesterday I had Willy's and a good time. It, too, was miraculous!

I'm watching the Braves right now. This game has been such a roller coaster! Not too long ago, they were down 4-1. Then B-Mac got a 3-run homer, resulting in a tie game. Pretty much immediately after that, the Marlins got another run, pulling into the lead. Then, in the top of the 9th, there was not only a rain delay, but the Braves pulled ahead 6-5. There is one out in the bottom of the 9th and I'm praying the Braves can pull this through. Go team!

Tomorrow I plan to go to the pool and then go out with some friends. Exciting!
