What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?

Funny I tried to nap today and I cramped really bad too. I'm glad you told us about the cramp pill. I saw them at Walmart so I grabbed them just in case. Glad I did.

How fun! Go EM!!

Mornin' All!

Aqua Zumba this morning, then I have to take my mother to a doctor's appt this afternoon - and then she wants to go over her estate documents with me (again...) afterward. She seems to be really fixated on dying lately - although she's about to turn 87, so I guess it's not unusual that she'd start thinking about that (health-wise, she's fine - other than arthritis - but at that age, you never know...). MIL's birthday is Sunday (so yep - both October babies!), so we'll do take-out and get her a cake. It doesn't sound like she wants anyone around other than us, so that's fine. She's doing better - slowly - but at least it's an upward trend.

QOTD: I read all the time, but I'm not a big book reader - and especially not fiction. I joined a state literary awards committee years ago to force myself to read fiction, and I liked it - a lot - but left to my own devices, oddly, I don't read it. We used to have occasional first-year students come into the library and ask for book recommendations for winter or spring break, which was always a bit uncomfortable for me - but then university librarians aren't public librarians - our primary focus is research assistance, not readers' advisory. But not sure a brand new university student would be aware of that. Anyway, I always dreaded that question since it made me look ridiculous. Luckily, we did have a couple of people on staff who were voracious fiction readers, so it was easy enough to refer!

Flowers we sent to our Friends

Beautiful flowers. Special occasion or just celebrating fall?

I'm glad all went quickly! I hope you get some relaxation.

Good mornin everyone. Hope you're all well.

I have to be at the hospital at 10 so a tiny bit over an hour and a half. I am soooooooo thirsty. Ugh. I had to stop drinking clear fluid at 8 but I'm still very dry. Gonna be a long day.

My appointment yesterday went ok. She warned me about the myelogram. That it'd be painful. She just upped the patch strength.

QOTD: I haven't been able to sit still enough to read for more than 20-30 minutes.

food is way way up in the air. I probably won't be able to eat until 4 or so. I'm taking a protein bar with me in case I'm able to do it up there.

My pics are older but they were in my memories so I thought I'd share them hee.

I hope the procedure goes really well for you and results in them determining exactly what causes you so much pain. With the correct information, there is so much better chance that they will have a solution that works.

Beautiful pics! Thinking of you this morning.
