I know it’s Random Tuesday Thoughts, but I’m being Random on Monday. The past two Mondays I have ended up in the Emergency Room and I’m determined that this Monday won’t be another repeat. The one thing those two prior Mondays had in common, besides the excruciating, searing pain, was I wore the same clothes. That’s the first thing I thought on my way to the ER, “Crap, I’m wearing the same clothes as last week. I hope nobody notices.” I know who the hell’s going to notice I had on the same jeans and t-shirt. So today, totally different jeans and t-shirt and it’s working. Still have pain, but hey I’ve got on different clothes.
The past couple of weeks have included lots of IV’s, blood tests, CT scans, doctor visits and prescriptions. I saw my new OB/Gyn on Friday and she confirmed the ER report. So they are going with an ovarian cyst that burst and the fluid is causing the excruciating pain. The second ultrasound showed another cyst, this time on the left. I have another ultrasound scheduled in six weeks to check on it. I also got to have a fun biopsy of the lining of my uterus the same day. The doctor asked me if I had any pain meds on board because she hated to cause me more pain when I’m already in pain. Really, not one of the most fun thing’s I’ve ever done, but not as bad as I thought it would be.
Wednesday my children join the rest of America and head back to school. Of course the clothes they were going to wear is better suited for fall and that ignorant slut Mother Nature has decided to have another go around with the boys of summer. So now I need to find some summer clothes that don’t have grass, popsicle, ice cream, or mustard stains. Because kids seem to wear their food more than eat it. It occurs to me that I may have discovered the next fad diet. All you have to do is spill most of your food on yourself instead of eating it. Do you think Kirstie Alley will be our spokesperson? She looks like she needs to start wearing more food instead of eating it.

I’m completely confused, I keep thinking it’s Sunday. Elle reminded me that I have to have some random thoughts tonight. Damn, I think I’m randomed out. Let’s see what I can come up with…..we have a new neighbor. A young girl bought the house next door to us, pretty impressive, it’s a big house, and she bought it all on her own. You have to admire that. I don’t however admire the tongue ring she’s sporting, or the fact that she doesn’t have curtains yet. I don’t think she realizes that when you walk around in your underwear with all the lights on, people can see you. Either that or she’s too young to care. We’ll see, I haven’t decided yet if we like her or not.
I’ve been walking. Every night for about 30-45 mins. I take a walk. I’m not a runner, well, unless some animal or zombie is chasing me, other than that I can’t run. So I decided that since I’m feeling much better since the surgery, better than I’ve felt in a long time, I should exercise a little. I’ve been enjoying it actually, which is weird because I’m not someone who likes to sweat or anything. It’s my “me” time, and maybe I’ll end up getting a cute butt out of it.
My in laws were up today, and my MIL bought the boys probably about 13 boxes of candy cigarettes. I know what you’re thinking, “they don’t make candy cigarettes anymore”, yea well guess what, they do, if you go to a speciality candy store. So lucky us we got some. My feelings on that is a whole different story which would probably get me in to trouble, so I’ll just share what my oldest said to my MIL. “Gramie, are these real candy cigarettes?”, “yes, they are the same as when I was little”, “really, so this is the exact same box from the 1900’s?” OMG, I burst out laughing so hard when he said that! When I stopped laughing, 5 minutes later I explained to him that Gramie wasn’t that old, to which my youngest said, “were you around when there were the Cowboys and Indians?” OMG!! Have I told you lately that I love you guys??
