Better...and NOT pg.

Thanks for all the well-wishes. I really do hate being sick, it's no fun at all! I did end up testing yest am, "not pregnant" in very clear digital words. So, if not food poisoning (which i still think it was) , is it possible to get this sick from hormonal changes? My left ovary hurt so bad on Sun that I thought it would explode. So, my last period was really a period, but if I'm O'ing this strong, maybe good news in a couple wks.

Other stuff- Can anyone help w/FB ettiquete? I joined so I can keep in touch w/SIL & see the pics of the kids. I've had a few friend requests & more than one where I'm scratching my head going "who the heck is this?" One where I recognize the name, but couldn't pick them out of a crowd. This may sound mean, but I'm not at all interested in keeping up with people who I barely knew. I'm an outgoing person, so there's probably more than one person who I was nice to in person, but would not consider more than a casual aquaintance.

So, do I just ignore it, or actual click "ignore"? Also, one of the reasons I've avoided FB for so long has turned out to be right- Most all of the people I grew up with already have multiple kids. Ouch! Even the ones who were younger than me. Double OUCH!!! Oh & IDK how much I've ever told you about my ex-fiancee, but looking through a lot of profiles & friends' lists; his family seems to have gotten all my friends in the breakup. How'd that happen? His little brother has responded to me on something I said on a mutual friend' page. So, maybe that's hope that a decade can make us all behave as adults? Or he doesn't realize who I am. It's rediculous really, I've broken up with people before & remained friends. When ex-fiancee broke up with me, he chose to spread all kinds of rumors around about me & my fam. I never got an explaination of why or what I'd done & it took me a LOOONG time to get over it. I don't want to rehash any of it, it's in the past, but I'd like to think that we could at least say hi or be in the same room w/o getting sick to me stomach. What do you think? Should I send a message to his brother & at least let him know that I have no intention of starting any HS drama? Or would that be starting drama? I've just always been such an open & upfront person, I don't do the drama. Really, any opinions would be appreciated.

Proof that Mondays SUCK!

It occurs to me that this should have a TMI WARNING!!!!

I ended up getting sick at work 4 times today!!! I wasn't feeling sick. I'd just be in the middle of a call & my mouth would start watering, then uncontrolable throw-up. (if i've never explained this- i DO NOT throw up! i will do everything in my power to keep it from happening). I am a true professional though. I'd place someone on hold, puke, finish the call, THEN get up to the ladies' room. So I was really ok with it, like I said, I felt fine. Until the last one. I couldn't control that one fast enough & ended up getting it on my jeans, desk, etc. By then I was fighting back tears of sheer embarassment. I went to the RR, cleaned up, & told a team lead that I was going home.

DH had dropped me off, so I called him to get me, clocked out, & hid in a conference rm until he got there. On the way home, I said "pull over" & got the grand experience of throwing up from a car. (fortunately did not get any in the car!)

He made me tea & chicken soup when we got home & I've managed to keep it down. I'm going on 6hrs puke-free now. I think it was food poinsoning, not entirely sure what from, but narrowed down to a couple culprits. I was asked 45 times today if I'm pg. No, I'm really not. I'm taking a test in the morning though to appease DH.

ON A MUCH HAPPIER NOTE---- Today was also my mom & dad's 35yr anniversary! Go mom & dad! :)

I'm sorry to not catch up on blogs right now, but I'm gonna head off to bed.

Two Lines!

Unfortunately, it's only a balloon. We went to our fav Mexican place tonight & the guy is there every Thurs. There was this family that had kids who were being just obnoxious. I'm usually good at not shooting the look at parents, but this was beyond out of control. He noticed & said "I'll bet you just can't wait to have kids now." I said that I was fine as is. So, he made this for me. It was funny actually, he noticed that DH was wearing a shirt from the home team town & turns out he's from the same town. Graduated fromt he same HS as DH, just 4 yrs earlier.
He also made this one for me. The funniest thing about that is that no one told him my fondness of ducks. It can actually be worn as a corsage. I loved it.

I've done pretty good working out this wk. I did 30 mins Mon, & 40 on both Tues & Wed. I'm impatient though, I think I should see results right away & have to keep reminding myself that it took time to gain it & it's been comfy on my waist for a while. So, it'll take time to get it back off. We have a challange at work & the criteria are 5/wk for a total of at least 150 mins. I skipped today because I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck & ended up calling in. I think it may have been a mild migraine. So, I had a pretty easy day. I watched "Clo.udy Wi.th a Cha.nce of Me.atb.al.ls", it was cute. It didn't really follow the book, but it was good.
Well that's about it. Sorry, I have a boring life. I'll talk to y'all later.

The foot thing...

It was a cyst. The dr called it a Ganglian Cyst. They're apparently fairly common. About the best we can figure is that I injured my foot when I fell out of the shower in Sept. But the other areas (right knee, hoo-ha) hurt worse & I didn't realize I'd done any damage to my foot.

So, the dr x-rayed it to make sure it wasn't something worse, then decided to drain it & injected a steroid. The most painful part was the novacain shot. I actually watched most of it & thought it was kinda cool. The weird part was that it's not really fluid, it's more of a gel thing. My mom was totally fascinated. (she REALLY needs to be a nurse!) He said it should be gone now, but if it comes back, we'll discuss other options. I'm supposed to keep compression on it for a couple days. Oh & does anyone else get sick to their stomach when novacain wears off? I always have.

Everyone there was really nice. I don't think they're used to seeing patients as young as me. Most of the other patients in there were fairly elderly. Oh & their waiting room should be brought up to this century, but maybe their average patients like it.

On a totally unralated subject- does anyone else get random songs stuck in their head? Yesterday, it was "and I'm stuck on Ba.ndA.id brand, cause Ba.ndA.id's stuck on me" Today, it's "and when the day's hustle & bustle is done, the gumby cat's work has just begun". (from Ca.t.s the musical, in case you couldn't place it.) Anyway, that's annoying.

Talk to y'all later!

It's not dead yet!

The computer, that is. Lesson learned- Norton should be renewed, those who invent computer viruses suck, & IT friends are awesome! Goodness sakes, I was going through internet withdrawel, bad, very bad!

Anyway, it's been a stressful week. Just a lot going on.

~The foot lump is probably a cyst, possibly a tumor, not likely to be cancer. I have a podiatrist appt on Mon. The family dr I saw indicated that it would not be staying on (in?) my foot. So I guess we'll decide what my removal options are. It's funny, not that I'm paying attention to it, I've realized how much the dang thing hurts.

~We have now been married for 9yrs, 2 days! I really can't believe it's been that long. In so many ways, it doesn't seem like it. In others, it feels like we've been together my whole life. Not going to be able to do much this year. I think I get an upgrade to my ring next year though. I'll have to take a pic of it & post it sometime.

~We saw the house yesterday. It really does not need much done to it. Did I say it's a repo? But it wasn't trashed, so a little cosmetic work is needed, but nothing we can't handle. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though. I'm really worried about the financing aspect. We're trying to fix our credit, but it's not good. It would be awesome if we could get it though, it would be about $200 LESS per month than what we're paying for rent. Keep your fingers crossed for me that we get it. Or at least that I don't break down & cry in front of anyone if we don't!

~ The stupid fire alarm went off TWICE today at work. Both false alarms, but it's SO not fun to explain to someone on the phone that you can take their number & have someone call them back, or that they can call back , but that you have to get off the phone & exit the building NOW. We are also the only one of our kind, so if we aren't taking those calls, no one is. I'm sure our service level sucked beyond compare today.

~DH is watching Fo.od Ne.tw.ork....Did you know that unless you've been to high-end Japanese restaurant, you may not have ever had real wasabi? Real wasabi is $75-$100/lb. So, it's usually horseradish with green food coloring. Pointless, but interesting info....

Now I'm going to bed. Talk to ya later! :)
