Busy Days and New Theories

I am still feeling a tad under the weather, it stinks that these little flare ups now last days instead of just for like a night like they used to. So from that, needless to say, I had a slow start this morning! But I had lunch with mom and Wawa forgot to put the turkey on my turkey sandwich. Hellooooo Monday. Then I went to the municipal building and got the marriage license we need the priest to sign and all that jazz. Did a brief two hour stint at Social Security to get the stuff I need to change my name and have my many questions answered. I grabbed a quick dinner and barely made it to work for 5pm! It was a sloooow night. I teched/did back register and read a lot of my book. After work I met my mom at the Culvers and had a lovely grilled cheese sandwich for dinner as we all talked.

Now the new theory came up at the Culvers. My mom read an article about a woman who had a lot of digestive problems and was tired more than usual and actually she had a thyroid problem. Hm.... never had that test. I will call the regular doctors office up here and try and get an apointment this week for a thyroid profiling. Can't hurt right? Wish me luck!

I was talking to Ryan and he told me a lot about his day, then as I started telling him about mine I noticed he got a lot more quiet. Then silent. I think he fell asleep on the phone with me! I tried calling back twice and got no answer. :( So much for the best part of my day....

So Much is Getting Done!

So this weekend was extremely productive. Ryan and I got a lot done which provided a nice couple of checks on the master list. We stuffed and labeled and stamped all the invites, nearly 100 of them! It took me, Mom, Ryan, and Stefan to get everything in and done, but it was done! I mailed them all off today. Ryan and I also went to the Grand Colonial, our reception venue, and solidified our menu and everything. We picked out all the appetizers, dinner, the wine, and the cake (!!) which sounds so delicious I cannot wait. We also went to another bakery and got Ryan a groomscake for the rehearsal dinner. Hint, if you have ever seen Steel Magnolias you will LOVE his cake! Jill came over Saturday night and spent the night, and until I had a stomach attack we had an awesome time. Stupid stomach. And Sunday was great. I can't go into details, but let's just say we are now one step closer to May 1st.... (:

I still need to call the florist and get transportation and a make up artist, then it is basically all done. PreCana is on Saturday which should be interesting.

Doctors... had an appointment Friday. Starting to get weened off the scary medicine as it wasn't doing what he thought it would, only maybe half. I am now going for a CT scan with IV contrast of my BRAIN because maybe the problem is neurological since my digestive tests are coming back normal. Ugh. I am so sick of being sick. I tried to call the radiology place I went to last time and since the test has an IV and I am allergic to penicillin I can't go there because on the offchance I have a reaction they don't have the equipment for it. So I called the hospital to schedule and waited ten minutes and got disconnected, called again and waited twenty minutes and at 4:59 on the dot they sent me to voicemail as the place closed! UGH.

I ran lots of errands today besides being on the phone for forever. The vet, Dunkin Donuts and the pharmacy for mom, resealing the invites, making dinner... only to be called in to work to work closing shift and getting to eat McDonalds on my way and not my chicken :( Oh well.

Ok, sticking to it. It will all get done. Work tomorrow, job interview with a summer camp in DC on Wednesday... wish me luck!

God help us all....

My mom started a blog! My mom!!! Yes I know she reads this so don't get all huffy mom, I am just having one of those shocked moments like I had when you joined facebook. Anyway, for you curious people who want to read along...

She is doing a mother and the bride sort of thing with her blog and I am curious to see where she goes with it!


Ryan and I are still looking for apartments and have some that we like in our budget. Let's see where that goes.

I worked on our wedding invitations today, I had some offers from friends to make them but with our budget and time ordering them may just be easier. Which is a shame. So we're back to the original design I found a month ago. I am still floundering for transportation in budget. And I have to get the flowers at some point too.

Work at the pharmacy again tomorrow, 10am. Go figure the position I applied for at my friend Sara's job (the publishing company, they filled the job right before getting my resume), well the person who got it bailed. It is Mon-Fri 8-4:30 or 9-5 at $13.50 an hour! Double my hours and probably salary at the pharmacy. Ugh. ONE day! If I had known just ONE day. But they're going to call me for an interview anyway. So I will tell them my fiance got orders and I am moving in May... do you still want me for three months? If they want me to interview then I will go from there. I can't leave the pharmacy in a lurch, I accepted the job and that is that.

I had my test today for my stomach, a gastric emptying test. Basically I couldn't eat til 1pm, and when I did it was radioactive scrambled eggs that tasted like metal. Then I laid on a slab and had an xray on my chest and couldn't move. For two hours. So there was no tv, I couldn't read, no watch, and my ipod was too loud and once the test started I couldn't move. Towards the end I had to pee, my arms and legs were numb, I was cold, and I had a crick in my neck on top of being horribly nauseous and crampy. But they gave me a $3 gift card for the hospital cafe (woohoo pizza bagel) and a card I need to carry around for the next month saying I am radioactive. The next 48 hours are the worst but it lingers, so if I travel or go anywhere with security I have to show that.

Ok, I am exhausted, going to bed now.
