In rushing, rising riv’lets. And puddles. And lakes. And pools. Flooding everywhere. Closing the roadways.
Which, of course is not good when you need the babysitter {aka Grammy} to get to your house. And since she couldn’t, the kiddo went to the doctors with me. And after an hour wait, I was told that the test couldn’t be done because he’s there with me. Sigh. So I decided enough was enough and asked for my records. I’m finding a new doctor. This one hasn’t done a darn thing for me since the very beginning. I’m in pain, but being ignored.
So now we’re home, I’m feeling not so terribly bad {knock on wood}, and waiting for a return call from a new doctor. Sigh. (Can one sigh too much?)
On a positive note, we did mail out our taxes to the accountant {aka father-in-law} so those should be done before the 15th. ;) AND – I’ve officially lost 60 pounds. Of course, I’ve really lost 100… lost 65, gained 40, lost 35. :S

Figures. I’ve been sick since January 3rd. Medical issues that I’ve been seeing doctor after doctor for. No answers. Just more testing. But now on top of that, I’ve come down with the cold that both the husband and the kiddo had. Le Sigh.
I can feel that tell-tale drip at the back top of my throat. And I’ve now sneezed about 10 times within a five minute span. Grumble.
What ticks me off even more is that St. Patrick’s Day is this week and I really enjoy making a big deal out of it. I’ve got gold coins for the kiddo, green hot chocolate to drink, and recipes for Irish soda bread and Irish Beef Stew. And now I’ve got a cold so I don’t feel like making any of it or making a big deal about it. Grrr.

So Saturday we drove in to help mom move. I tried a couple of times to check email. I have the phone set up to check for wifi first. And twice I just had to giggle.

So there are quite a few things I’ve been catching up on, thanks to Netflix. One being, Murder She Wrote. They’ve got all the seasons on watch instantly. This, plus the Xbox Netflix program equals JB Fletcher heaven. I can *just* about remember watching it when I was younger.
The other show I’ve been watching, via discs due to unavailability of an instant watch option, is NCIS. OMG. I just finished up season 2. I won’t spoil it. But I will tell you that I would love to be best friends with Abby and have a co-worker like Tony. LOL And—Mark Harmon is looking as good as ever. (Anyone else appreciate Summer School? LOL)
I’ve been watching NCIS: Los Angeles, and don’t get me wrong, LL Cool J totally rocks my socks, but there is just something about Tony in NCIS that makes the show so much more. Definitely catch it if you can.
