5 o'clock somewhere...

It's 4 minuets to 5 pm. And as Sandy says "I've done nothing"
... some how I have spent the entire day working and accomplished nothing. Worse than that, I was busy all day... I just wish I could figure out what I have gotten done. I wish more things on my "to do" list were checked off. Dreaded "To Do" List, it's like it is mocking me. "Ah haha, you didn't check very much off of me, so you must have done nothing" Well I tell you what Mr. "To Do" List... darn you win.

I just thought "humm, maybe I should call my mom and see if she wants me to pick up something for dinner..." sucks to forget you will be having dinner for one. (Cheaper maybe haha)

This weekend I...
Watched 4 movies
Read 2 entire books
Went out to two meals with friends
Slept around 25 hours (night time and naps)
Convinced someone they didn't have swine flu (like I really know?)
And hid myself away from the world while I processed.

I also decided that I cannot process this all at this point, so instead... My parents are on Vacation. Yes they are vacationing in beautiful Texas, they seem to be enjoying it. The land of hot weather, swimming pools and varmint fences.

I think I have started to be come numb to it all. To the fact that I will go from spending every night eating dinner with my family, to eating dinner (almost) every night by myself. I think that is the hardest part of this all, it's not like college where you are consistently surrounded by people (like it or not...) once I leave work, it's just me and my TV dinners. (just kidding mom, I am trying to make actual meals).

Anyway, needless to say, my parents have made it safely to Texas. They will live in a temporary apartment until their house is ready to be moved into on June 2nd. Funny how that is the exact date of my Mayo Clinic appointment. Because my parents will be moving that day, my very great and awesome Aunt and Uncle will be accompanying me to Mayo. It's sad to say that I am excited about a doctors appointment, but I am so excited.

I am so excited to hopefully have an answer to all of this. Today my joints are all swollen, I mean really swollen. To the point where good friends asked about it. Who knows why. I can't imagine a day that I could wake up with no pain in my face/head. Or vision in my eyes... or feeling in my leg. At this point I would take any one of those and be completely happy with that.

I have also decided I need to watch who I joke around with about my doctors appointments with. I guess a lot of people don't get that the only way to get through all of this is to have a sense of humor about it. I mean, I really don't get why they don't think it's funny when they ask "So when is your Mayo appointment" and I say "Right after my mustard one." Haha, maybe if they knew more about my doctors appointments and my treatment of late, they might agree that I have already had my Mustard appointment. It was salty and bitter, it did not make anything taste better. Yes that is how I will describe my last appointment, it was my Mustard appointment. I am looking forward to the Mayo appointment, a little bit sweet, adds a lot and overall makes things better.

Well I think I shall go home... rest these incredibly swollen joints. Make a wholesome dinner (hahaha right) ... and watch Dancing with the Stars. Don't judge me, you wish you could dance that well.

I have an excellent Father, his strength makes me stronger.
