Hi Interwebs!
So many things have happened recently – I barely even noticed I wasn’t posting! In short, here are my excuses:
- Christmas was rather time consuming. You wouldn’t believe how much time one uses up keeping cats from a) climbing the Christmas tree, b) playing Ornament Rugby, and c) unwrapping the presents with their teeth/eating the gifts inside. Oh! And drinking the tree water. And chewing on Christmas light strings. And…you get it. Suffice it to say, there are three felines permanently on the NaughtyList.
- Really good drugs. Well, it’s me writing, so obviously it wasn’t anything illegal or jail-taunting. I had an ESWL lithotripsy in January. It was NOT fun. Everything that could go wrong that didn’t end in death basically did. I was allergic to the antibiotic they pumped in my IV and they couldn’t find the stones while I was laying on the operating table. Two surgeons, and an xray machine and they can’t see the stones. Let’s just say my insides looked like London on a foggy day… (no more onions and peppers the night before surgery.) They ended up letting me cool my heels in recovery until the reaction to the drugs wore off and then operated on the OTHER kidney. The last thing I remember was an anesthesiologist telling me that what she was giving me would feel like a “couple of margaritas” and then the drugs hitting me…just like she said. Drunk to the point of almost being spinny sick. I said “I wish every happy hour was like this…” and passed out. (I think it sounded more like, “Ah whoosh efery happehhourss lhyk thishhhh…” Anyway, I woke up just fine and had good painkillers and good times. Since it was non-invasive, I was up and around in no time.
- I’m studying for the GRE. Yep, because I want to get my MLS and make lots less than I currently make. When I say studying, I really mean sporadically cracking a study book and feeling alternately euphoric because I can kick the Verbal section’s butt and enraged because I am really NO good at math. Which is funny – ’cause I’m an accountant.
- I’m shopping for a new set of wheels. What this means is, I desperately want a bike. I haven’t had one since I was in high school and it’s high time for that to change. I’m so jealous of the eco-chicks who ride to the store on their bikes looking all hippie-chick and cute and I want a fun way to get back into shape.
- I get to go to the dentist! Ok, yeah, not thrilling to you, maybe, but certainly to me! What I really mean to say is that the company with which I’ve been contracting for the past seven months offered me a full time position. You know what that means - INSURANCE! Wonderful wonderful insurance with your shiny deductibles and happy little co-pays, you are mine once more!
So there, in short, are a few of the reasons I haven’t been a good little blogger. I plan on that changing – stay tuned and we’ll see!
