Update: DD spoke with other doctor who says her bloodwork is fine on the issues Gyn was concerned about. A little out of norm but not much. Said it was a Gyn problem. DD called Gyn's office - she is out today and of course no biopsy tomorrow. So... with symptoms getting worse she is going to the ER this afternoon. At least she should be able to get a referral to another doctor at minimum.
Maybe we are more sensitive than most but this feels so much like what eldest DD went through - the assumption that someone young can't have anything serious so putting things off until it is too late. So much time ignoring signs, not always following protocol, and letting it go so long that in the end it killed her. Can't help but feel like it could be happening again.

So sorry to hear about the cancelled biopsy. Bugger!
129.2 today.
Still planning on harder exercise DVD today. I can do it!!! Positive affirmations there!
Didn't have the loaded baked potatoes last night as Costco shopping took too long, so a quick taco out was dinner. Potatoes will be on the menu for tonight.
Bible study prep today! Already did some laundry! Would rather be doing a Justice walk or water aerobics (if temp was warmer!). Looking forward to getting outside more here soon!

The biopsy has been cancelled for tomorrow due to additional findings in DD's blood work. She has been referred to another doctor. DD said last night that she couldn't get in to see her today she may go to the ER.
Much worry about that while planning to leave for an overseas trip tomorrow. Packing is mostly done for that. We went to a phenomenal production of Singing in the Rain last night. Greek Night tonight at the clubhouse after I drop Justice off for 12 days on a farm.
Possibly water aerobics this morning before taking Justice for his walk, but maybe not as it is in the high 40's right now and the temperature may not exceed the 55 degree threshold by 9. Really weird for mid-March here.
Also, I have been meaning to mention an Apple+ series called Home Before Dark. Really well done and no aliens. The parents in it make me feel a bit inept (the perfect parents in most situations), but it really is worth watching. We are trying to get the last few episodes of season 2 done before we leave tomorrow.
Have a wordy Wednesday.

I guess that is why he is called the Shark!
Tax returns are no fun - it's worth it to pay my financial advisor do ours (especially for last year when we sold 2 homes).

Eagan is right by my town. In this part of the world we make up the various suburbs that are considered "south of the river" , meaning south of the Minnesota River. The bridge in Eagan that crosses the river is kind of pretty.
Greetings all
Back from Scrabble where I won two but barely. The Shark killed me. So it goes. Back home because I have to work on those tax returns in the day time. Can't see well enough at night. Plus not inclined. I am tempted to take a nap but must soldier on with a pencil and calculator.
Liz so glad your DD has the biopsy scheduled. Hoping good things can be learned. Glad the doctor is listening. Pearl lunch sounds fun.
Have fun with your grand dog Ann. Want to borrow mine? Last night they tracked in mud all over the house including inside the shower.
Peps it is so uncivilized to have to head for work in the dark. Yucky indeed. But not too many more days of it. Thanks for mentioning Dexter. Something new for us to watch even if it is creepy.
The eaglets continue to be a hoot. Big Bear Eagle Camera. Their parents stuff them like little turkeys! The eaglets poke at each other like siblings and the scientific term is "bonking".
Dinner is uncertain. Maybe ham and eggs.

The BVI trip is in addition to Aruba.
Yep, that time change stinks!
I loved the early seasons of Dexter (strange to say love about a show with a serial killer), but I didn't like it so much in the later seasons (didn't fini****).

Borrow a dog!

Somehow it all seems to work out in retirement.
I have to do those loaded potatoes for dinner after we get back from vacation!

211.something.... An hour workout and right back up....
On Sunday I did a few little things in the afternoon. I got the dog van vacuumed and set up the futon behind the passenger seats. I also got the reflective insulation panels cut and hung in the rear side windows. After that I worked on Buster for an hour or so. Even though my day was leisurely, I felt productive enough and ended the weekend feeling rested.
But then.....Yesterday, the time change kicked my butt! I had to drag my azz out of bed while it was still dark. The sun wasn't even up over the hills to the east before I left for school. YUCK! I was tired and draggy yesterday. Today I woke up before my alarm, so maybe the transition is now complete.
For entertainment these days I am watching Dexter. I have never had Showtime, so I have no****ched any of the long running show before. I'm loving it. I have two more episodes to watch to complete season 1.
This morning I met a new substitute teacher who is a transplant from Minnesota. She was a third grade teacher in twin cities area. She grew up in a town called Eagen. She is young and vibrant and drips of Minnesota nice (but not at all sicky sweet - just real!). I hope she is able to land a job with our district. I got such a good feeling about her! I even wrote a quick note to our HR admin to put the sub on the HR radar.
Liz, it almost seems too soon for your annual trek to the Caribbean. Are you going to BVI instead of Aruba this year or in addition to?
Not much else from my corner of the world...
