This and That

Have you ever started pouring coffee into your mug while it was upside down?  Yeah.

I  went to the doctor this week for a check up.  Let me say right up front I LOVE this doctor.  There was something about her that oozed "I love my job" and I found that very refreshing.  She told me my symptoms were definitely peri-menopausal and very normal.  For the first time in my life I had a pelvic exam and didn't feel a thing... Did you get that?!  I. Didn't. Feel. A. Thing.  She is going to be Dancing Daughter's doctor too.  My blood pressure was elevated more than she likes to see.  She brought up one of my most dreaded words... Exercise.  She told me just 30 minutes a day could help with that.  I have to go back in 6 months for a re-check and if my blood pressure hasn't gone down through normal means, exercise, she will put me on medication.  I guess I've found my motivation.  I'm still waiting for the results of all the tests.

Bri-brute, my son's ex g/f, is hanging out with a 19 year old and smoking pot.  This makes me sad, but I have to let go.

We have mostly completed the bathroom update.  Handy Man still needs to trim out the mirror, hopefully that happens soon so I can share pictures.  Both of us have decided we don't like the light fixture we picked out.  Handy Man was considering taking it down until Dancing Daughter declared how much she loves it, so for now it stays.

I've decided to try cleaning/organizing/beautifying the office this weekend.  Wish me luck.  I will be taking pictures, as much as it will be mortifying to post the before pics!

Asthmagirl made sure all my gray hair was turned back to a beautiful reddish brown on Thursday and while I was there I noticed she made lemon cake.  While waiting for the hair color to do it's magic she made the glaze and asked if I'd like to have a piece!!!!  Uh, yeah!  This cake is amazing!  You have to make it and expect it to go fast!  Seriously, it's that good!

No on the coffee cup upside down but yesterday I squeezed ketchup into my coffee instead of on the plate. Ewww.

I'm SO glad you found a doctor that you like. Good luck with the blood pressure thing - I'm in the same boat:(

I'm cleaning out the closet this weekend. If it doesn't fit or looks like a grandma, it's going to the Goodwill!!

It's wonderful when you find a doc you like. I feel same about your ob.gyn office and primary care doc. What type of exercise shall you seek? Pick something you'll enjoy, rather than something you'll keep dreading.

You know, after years of going to a male doctor, I finally made the switch to a woman and I experienced the same thing. NO PAIN! Now I don't dread going for Pap smears. I feel like I was *violated* for years!

Good luck on the office cleaning. I always just wind up cramming all the junk into whatever cubbyhole I can find, then can't find anything when I need it.
