Ain't It The Life
First a funny picture of my pumpkin belly...
Today has been just an incredibly long day.
I had a cardiologist appointment this morning at 9am in the city, which meant having to get Ginny Grace up at 6:30 (and thankfully my wife who is more used to waking before the sun took care of getting her all set to go while I lumbered around like a hungover frat boy).
It was bloody awful outside, rain cascading down and slowing the normal crawl of 401 morning traffic into complete inertia. It took over 2 hours to get in and park, then hustle the baby out of the horrible weather and up to the office. So it was no wonder to me when I blew a 160 over 95 on my blood pressure- very bad. However, after an ECG and an ultrasound on my chest, I was given better news. Everything looks okay and the 'blip' on my ECG of a year ago plus was probably just an abnormality. I also saw more of my chest cavity than I frankly ever care to see, also the nice lab tech did sort of have to spoon me while she did the ultrasound. Good thing my wife wasn't in there! Actually I could have fallen asleep I was that comfortable on the table (okay I wasn't comfy, I was just dead tired!)
Anyway, we took Shell to her studio then headed all the way back home since there just wasn't anywhere to 'hang out' for 7 hours until my class. At 3:30 it was back on the road and back to the city. I had a great class and a fairly decent time driving home...but we're all just sleepy now so I'm going to bed soon.
I realize this post has been a) completely humorless, and b) pretty pathetic, so I apologize. I just can't seem to find the funny tonight after dragging my hind parts across the greater Southern Ontario highways.
I'll get back to the usual hijinx and pathos soon.
Also I'm in a CD burnin' mood, so if I have your address you might get a gifty in the mail in the near future, and if I don't have your address and you want a gifty in the mail soon, drop me a line- no promises on whether you'll like the mix I put together, but then again its free so stop complainin' already!!!! *shakes fist*
A little over 2 weeks till my birthday and Shell has asked me 4 times already what I want and I haven't a clue. She asks every year "do you want 'a thing' or do you want 'an event'"?
Can't 'a thing' be included in 'an event'? Apparently not. So I turn to you faithful readers...what the heck do I want for my birthday??

I've given up on asking for things for my birthday. I ask for events instead, like skydiving, which I did for my past birthday. Things are just things. Doing something interesting or special is a little more memorable, in my opinion.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend skydiving at this time of year (too cold!), but I'm sure there's something else you might be interested in doing. Cooking classes? Art course?
And at least you didn't have to do your driving around here. Five inches of snow here in town and tons in the mountains.
For me skydiving is out of the question...no no no...I'm a skeered.
No accumulated snow yet..we had that little dusting last week. According to the Canadian Weather gods we're supposed to have a cooler fall than normal, so there's a possibility we'll get some early snow.
hot air ballooning is a always fun, but then again, the weather isn't exactly ideal.
leigha's middle name is grace, too, by the way. just a random tidbit.
glad everything looked good at the cardiologists despite your BP. who knows, I'm sure the stressful commute didn't help. fyi, I always read in the 130s-40s and 80s-90s at the docs. yet when I sit down in the local pharmacy it's much lower.
mine used to be as high as yours before we moved to arizona. my husband likes to think he saved my life by moving me away from family that drives me nuts.
