How scary for your DD and you. I hope she gets some action very soon! What feels like lack of urgency from the medical world (and it may not be, but the wheels of medicine turn slowly) is such a frustrating part of concerning health issues.

I got so much done yesterday. I didn't start out thinking I would get all my tax stuff together, but I did it! Such a pain going through every bank and credit card statement to find medical and tax deductible charges (I itemize). 3 credit cards and my checking account x 13 statements (the end of December shows up on January's statement the next year). So 52 statements to check! Then filling out my tax organizer, finding all the year end statements/forms and my solar install info and scanning it all took about 5 hours all together. And then I still pay a heap to the CPA to do them. Not fun. But done.

I also tried on a bunch of clothes I had bought and never tried on so I could return stuff. Does anyone else do that? Buy stuff then can't make yourself go through it? It's like Schroedinger's Cat, but with clothes. Until you try them on they both look great and terrible at the same time. Some of it was great, most wasn't. Much is on its way back to the store. I mostly wear a uniform of the same items in different colors, so branching out into other clothes is uncomfortable for me. Must be some old tapes, not wanting to draw any attention to myself.

Today the dealership os picking up my car for the rattle. I think. Never know with them if they will reschedule. Still beats taking it up myself.

I got an appointment for next week to have a windshield chip fixed too. Such a thing in AZ with all the rocks! I've already had my windshield replaced once.

And I went to Ace Hardware for some pain****er softener salt and a 5 gallon bucket. I have gone through so many buckets! Workmen seem to think they are theirs and walk off with them. Even when I put my name on them. I have these pillars along my front walkway with flagstone caps that are 4' x 4' x 3". One is crumbling and decided to fall onto the walkway making a huge mess. Of course, not a bucket to be found. I've been trying for 2 years to find someone who can find me a replacement slab to no avail. It's now become more urgent. The size and the dark purple color are unusual.

Anyway, some more rain headed our way. Yay! We gad sone nice storms last night. Take care all...

So sorry to hear about the cancelled biopsy. Bugger!

129.2 today.

Still planning on harder exercise DVD today. I can do it!!! Positive affirmations there!

Didn't have the loaded baked potatoes last night as Costco shopping took too long, so a quick taco out was dinner. Potatoes will be on the menu for tonight.

Bible study prep today! Already did some laundry! Would rather be doing a Justice walk or water aerobics (if temp was warmer!). Looking forward to getting outside more here soon!

I guess that is why he is called the Shark!

Tax returns are no fun - it's worth it to pay my financial advisor do ours (especially for last year when we sold 2 homes).

Greetings all

Back from Scrabble where I won two but barely. The Shark killed me. So it goes. Back home because I have to work on those tax returns in the day time. Can't see well enough at night. Plus not inclined. I am tempted to take a nap but must soldier on with a pencil and calculator.

Liz so glad your DD has the biopsy scheduled. Hoping good things can be learned. Glad the doctor is listening. Pearl lunch sounds fun.

Have fun with your grand dog Ann. Want to borrow mine? Last night they tracked in mud all over the house including inside the shower.

Peps it is so uncivilized to have to head for work in the dark. Yucky indeed. But not too many more days of it. Thanks for mentioning Dexter. Something new for us to watch even if it is creepy.

The eaglets continue to be a hoot. Big Bear Eagle Camera. Their parents stuff them like little turkeys! The eaglets poke at each other like siblings and the scientific term is "bonking".

Dinner is uncertain. Maybe ham and eggs.

Borrow a dog!
