Happy Day!

I had a mammogram last Thursday and got the call Friday that more pics were needed. I couldn't return the call until Monday morning. At that point, the earliest they could see me was a week; but then they called back because they had a cancellation. Today I went back, more pics were taken, doctor ordered an ultrasound, and my did they find cysts -- I counted at least 4. The radiologist came in and looked at the ultrasound and said that I was a "cyst maker" but no signs of cancer. Woohoo! He does want to check again in six months, but that's ok.
I was on a totally natural high when I left the medical office. I ran some errands and nothing bothered me...not the mercedes that parked way too close to me, not anything!

Yesterday I had lunch with my good friend, Kathy. We have known each other since high school and became good friends in college. So much fun to catch up with her. We only live about 30 miles apart -- we really should get together more often. My GPS told me that there was a Bakers Bros Restaurant close to where we were and I said maybe we will meet there next time. However, when I left, I decided to let the GPS take me there. I was directed to drive around a bit going past apartments into a very nice neighborhood, turn this way, turn that way, and now arriving at destination -- except that I was in front of someone's house with no restaurant in sight! GPS's are great -- but they are not perfect. I laughed and wondered why my GPS thought there was a restaurant there! Oh well, next time, we will pick a new place and I will look up the address before I go and just enter the address into the trusty GPS.

It's November?

Wow -- already the 11th month of the year! I spent the last week of October driving to Birmingham, visiting relatives, and driving back. Technically, I didn't drive, I rode. I also read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris outloud! That way, dh and I heard the story together. It is the first of the Southern Vampire Mysteries. It is what the HBO show True Blood is based on. I haven't decided whether to continue the series or not, but it was pretty good for a vampire love story.

Today was busy. A couple weeks ago, I decided that I HAD to exercise and I found my DVD of Walk Away the Pounds. I decided that I could exercise every day and this would be an easy way to do it at home. Well this morning when I woke up I had this conversation in my head -- get up now and walk, I'll do it later, no you won't because you don't have time, I'll do it later really, no you won't because once you put on makeup you won't want to sweat it off -- and with that I got up and fed the dogs and did my 2 mile walk with Leslie Sansone and her buddies.

After the walk, I went to my Thursday morning breakfast group, tutored College Algebra for two hours, ran to Cabela's to pick up a package, came home and wrote to TCC for permission for dd to take 3 classes in the spring, called OSU to see if she needs more Spanish (probably not) and then went to work for 3 hours. So see if I hadn't walked this morning, I really wouldn't have done it.

Now, I'm off to bed and I'm going to try to work the NYT Thursday puzzle. Tomorrow I have to catch up on my BSF and I HAVE to walk again!
