Happy Wednesday!
Good day all!! How is everyone doing today? I hope all is well. Just thought I would get on and say hi and see how everyone is today.
I was supposed to go get my mammogram today but had to call and reschedule. Since I don't have transportation I would have had to walk 1/2 mile to the bus stop, take one bus, wait 30 mins. for the second bus and then walk 1/4 mile to Berland Imaging. And then of course, do the exact opposite coming home. This morning I decided that with the wind chill factor (-8 degrees) it was just way toooooo cold for that kind of adventure. So now I go next Friday. Hopefully it will be a little warmer by then.
I'm really excited about tomorrow but kinda scared at the same time. Tomorrow Michael (my significant other) goes to the doctor (his insurance provides transportation where mine doesn't). We found out that they will let me ride along to the appt. I always try to go with Michael, that way I hear directly from the doctor what is going on. Sometimes there is just so much information that Michael doesn't really hear it all (he has end-stage liver disease). I also like to go because they let me use their scale. We have one here at home but it only goes up to 250 and I'm still way above that. I'm excited because it's been awhile since I weighed. But at the same time I'm scared to death because I have really been sticking to program and if I don't lose at least a little I'm afraid I will get discouraged. And I certainly don't want to do that. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Well I better get moving and see if I can be a little productive today. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day and staying warm.

I would have postponed the mammo appt too. Brrrrrr, cold like that here in northern MN too. Snow too. I am glad that you are able to accompany Micheal to his appts. Two sets of ears are always better. Wishing him the best of health as he continues with his cares.
Stay warm yourself too. I spent the day sleeping, cooked supper and went back to bed again. Out and about today, already up and showered/dressed. Great to see you posting Dee. Hugs
