Month: April 2003

Please forgive me if I don’t have a lot to say this week…the weather has been the stuff of dreams and I’ve been trying to do work and yet not be tethered to the house. So sometimes that means I pack up the computer and take it outside. I love having a laptop. Wooooo!

I spent part of the morning trying on summer clothes from about two years ago (last year’s stuff doesn’t fit very well.) I think I’ve salvaged enough stuff to get me started, anyway.

So I’ve got sandels on, and I feel like a million bucks!

I’m having a minor health issue which is a result of a side effect of medication I’m on. (Got that? Good.) I won’t name here but I’ll hint that “Tucks” are made to deal with it. Today I called the Dr.’s office because I wanted to know if a)he has the definitive solution/medication for the problem, or b)he wants to see me. When the nurse called back with his response, it was basically, eat roughage, drink more water, don’t strain, and avoid sitting. (My emphasis)

How on earth do you avoid sitting? I mean seriously, how can that even be a suggestion? I can do all the others. Those are easy. But avoid sitting? How am I going to get my work done? How will I watch TV? How will I drive to my endocrinologist appointment this afternoon?

Today’s forecast for Thursday is…..scattered flurries! Well I didn’t even have that option listed in the pool!

I’m telling you, by Monday or Tuesday they should have that locked in, don’t you think?

When I wrote this morning’s entry, the prediction was for rain on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Right now they’re saying some showers Wedneday, then no rain on Thursday and Friday, although the temps will still be pretty low.

So let’s start a pool. Rain or no rain on Thursday?
