Yeah. The last thing I wanted to do today was prepare a dinner. It was Kraft Mac and Cheese and Johnsonville Maple Sausage and done.
Not my most stellar dinner but dang I needed comfort food and it was easy.

I've had a lot of comfort food in my life, if it relieves stress , it's all good. I'm sorry for this, it's so hard when parents get old.

I could easily be a vegetarian. There are few veggies that I do not love. The problem is I LOVE LOVE LOVE and crave meat. Solution I eat both.

Me too, I eat vegetables for several days in a row, and then I need meat. Then back to veggies. It seems to be working I got a perfect blood test this time.

I go for checkups every 6 months and the big check up comes this August. If I am cancer free this August, they consider me "cured". I was diagnosed when I was 39...when people say your body starts to fall apart at 40, they weren't lying LOL.

I'm so glad that you are "cured", I pray you stay that way. It must have been horrible when you heard that diagnosis. My dad had lung cancer, and my heart just dropped.

Me too, I didn't know about that either.

We were warm, but spent most of the day around sick people. Oy vey!

Hi! I'm hiding under a rock with my eyes closed, singing lalalalalala with my hands over my ears, while rocking back and forth.

Been there, done that!

YEA!!!!!! I get to sleep in tomorrow! My dh doesn't have to be up until 5:30! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way too early for me, hubby and I am exhausted, I may stay in bed and read. Probably not, but I can dream. The bathroom gets in my way every morning.

I am so sorry both you and your Hubby had such a horrible experience. In my short years on this life up here in Canada I have never experienced anything like that from any medical professional. It sounded like he contributed to the blood pressure issue which in turn made you have an increase in the medication which may be inaccurate. I would get that checked again by someone else. You don't want to be taking too much BP medicines and have you blood pressure go low and start passing out and falling.

Thank you for your concern, I will monitor if I get dizzy I will quit the medicine increase, and tell the Dr. I have a home blood pressure cuff and the Dr. has checked it. I will be taking my blood pressure for the next few month's to make sure I'm not too low or too high. Life is a balancing act. Now I need a high wire!

Our medical system is falling apart with the government intervention. Sister is going through the same thing, she can't find a Dr. that will accept her as a medicare patient. The U.S. is so messed up right now. I only have a Dr. because, we have been with him over 10 years. No matter how we are treated it;s hard to go anywhere else. Not that I would I truly love my Dr. and know he has our best interest at heart, but he works for a practice that is owned by someone else. Can he replace the assistant? I don't think so, as hiring practices are dictated by the owner. By the way, my sister's Dr. left town to practice somewhere else, and she is left without anyone. I hope someone will come in and clean this mess up. I'm not stating a political position, just a personal position.

Yep, we rode the Nemo subs when we were there in June of '10. It was cute (I remember riding the original Submarine Voyage back in '68, '70, and '71) and we'd do it again, but, I just couldn't help thinkin' about 20K the whole time.

That was one of my favorite rides.

Oh yea, and I forgot, the Prez is in town today. Was the keynote speaker at SXSW Interactive.
Coupla' other events, and now he's at a fundraiser at a home near the firm. AF1 scheduled to leave around 7:30.
The mayor suggested to all those that work in the downtown area to work from home today.

On our 50th anniversary we may do DL. Or back to Florida without visiting Disney. Going to Ormand Beach, where we spent our honeymoon, and to St. Augustine, I love that area , and has a special meaning to us.

St. Augstine is nice, I was really impressed with the town especially the fort.

Our high school is putting on the musical Once Upon a Mattress so we are going to see that. Hubby is excited because he was in it when he was in high school.
