Actually do have that dr's appt today.  :P  Yeah, I know I have to do it, I'm glad my dr scheduled it, but getting my girly bits inspected is never fun.  No, it really just isn't, I just can't seem to develop a kink that way. 

I'm working on the tea and food thing.  Yesterday I thought I would grab breakfast on my way to work (as a reward for writing that reference thing I had to get myself to do) and found that the place I would usually get it still only has partial power since the storm at the beginning of the week, and no hot foods.  And the place across the road, where they probably actually cook the stuff I buy, is shut down completely.  So I grabbed a packet of nuts.  It wasn't nearly as satisfying as breakfast pizza.  But, after taking my nice, hot bath, and doing my stretching, now I don't really have time to cook, so I guess I'm eating leftovers for breakfast.  That sucks because it bites into our supply of leftovers.

That storm was really pretty damaging, I guess - we're actually qualifying for some disaster relief in some areas of the state.  It wasn't bad for us in town, but lots of my and Eor's co-workers still don't have power in their homes.  I need to write the story about the train - I didn't actually come close to being hit, but it gave me a scare when I looked up (and up and up) and it was right there.  Just remember, kids, if the traffic lights are out, ALWAYS check before you drive across railroad tracks. 

The weather has finally broken, we have only little wispy clouds!  You know the type, mare's tails, which tell you that more weather is coming.  But hey, I hadn't expected to see any sun until the weekend, so that's okay. :)  And usually a little sun goes a long way with me.  I get tired of it quick.  I just wanted a little, you know, because it had been so long and so cold.  Someone said the other day that it's not global warming or a new ice-age, it's just that we've been a month behind all winter, and we still are.

Now I think I should go read something, it makes eating faster if I'm not trying to type.  And I have to leave like momentarily.

Well, I'm back.  She said it was actually a little early and that someone had accidentally scheduled it as a physical rather than a surgery follow-up, so asked me if I had any other issues I wanted to talk about, so I told her about having sort of heartburn after eating and being tired, and she decided to do some blood work.  I've had more blood work since I've been with this doctor than ever before in my life.  The answer to everything is "let's draw some blood!"  Makes one wonder if the days of leeches are really over. ;)  (I like my doctor, actually, she's great. :))

Now... dishes.  Yes.  *eyeroll*  Otherwise they might topple and kill me.
