It was a good day today. :) But I was kind of bad. :(

Jul 20, 2012

I got up and my mom immediately told me what happened with the shooting in Colorado. I was so upset over it and I haven’t been able to wrap my brain around it.

After I calmed down, I cleaned myself up a little and went to my friend’s house. Her name is Mary. She’s 21 years old and I met her 2 years ago through our mutual friend Ashley. This is Mary:

Mary and I had planned to swim at her pool, but unfortunately, there was a really bad thunderstorm so we couldn’t swim. We decided to stay in and watch movies. We also baked triple chocolate cupcakes with mocha frosting! YUM! I had 2 (bad Carrie!) Mary accidentally dropped a bunch of cake batter on her shirt. I laughed so she picked up some batter in her hands and smeared it all over my cheeks!

We watched Mary Poppins and Crossroads (yes, the Britney Spears movie) while we had cheese pizza and talked about the latest Cosmo. Mary also painted my nails. It was a good girl’s day!

Before I left, she gave me a bunch of presents!

From left to right: My favorite candy (chewy Sprees), a card (with $20 inside!), a pen, some post-it notes, Hello Kitty post-it notes (for my purse), metal nail polish, and a funky cup!

While I was there, I called my surgeon’s office and they said they had all the notes from my visits with Alanna (my dietitian) except for June. They said once they got June’s notes, they’ll set up all my appointments. Since I live an hour from their office, they’re going to let me to all my pre-op stuff in my own town so I don’t have to waste the gas to keep driving back and forth to Greenville! The only times I absolutely have to go to Greenville are for my Psych eval. and to talk to my surgeon about getting my actual appointments for my surgeries!!

I’m excited that things seem to be moving along as I quick pace but I’m also scared at the same time. I’m afraid something will happen to mess up my chances of having surgery, and I’m afraid of the actual surgery. My life will be so different afterwards! Eek!!

I also got a call from my psychiatrist saying that my insurance FINALLY approved a new medication that’s supposed to give me more energy. I called my pharmacy and they should have the prescription ready for me on Monday (they had to order it). So that takes my grand total of pills I take a day up to a whopping FOURTEEN! Shit, that’s a lot of pills!!!!
