> [@anyrose](#): > > I’ve been thinking about doing the NaNoWriMo thing, but I usually think of it/hear about it too late. This year, I have no inspiration. I usually do it every year–I think I started in 2004. I skipped last year because I didn’t have electricity for the first several days of November, and I have made absolutely no plans to do it this year, as of yet. I’ve won seven times … but I don’t know if I’ve ever completely finished a book. 🙂 I considered turning on the heat last night, but it would have meant getting out of bed. So I snuggled in and stuck my feet under the dog and called it good. Last day of work for the week. Tomorrow I head down to Virginia Beach for the last damn wedding of the year. I hate airports. But I think I hate driving to Virginia more. ---

With the newfangled medical systems these days I have doctors who all combine on the same medical data system. So Monday when I went in for a follow up CT scan from 6 months ago to see if that spot on my lung was cancerous it only took until last night when I got an email saying “Log in you have a new message.” So I did and got to read the results. No cancer. Somewhat enlarged gall bladder. And of course, 2 kidneystones. Amazing world. ---

At least we don’t have the Canadian system (yet), where there is a 10 month wait to see an obstetrician. ---

I have nothing to do this afternoon but wait for it to be time to go home. It’s taking a very long time, and it’s making me cranky. ---

well I’m off to see the doctor I don’t want to go but my ear hurts so badly I can’t stand it Before it was mt right ear and that cleared up on it’s own but now it’s my left ear and I can’t hear to do my job. It also hurts to talk because the side of my face is swollen. Hard to be a CSR when you can’t hear and can barely talk. The rash on my leg is gone so no sense it worrying about that anymore. I think the little purple bump is where one of my dogs bit me years ago. I remember being pregnant, I remember going for a tetanus shot, I remember he got my calf but I think the bump on my shin was where his other tooth went in. That’ll teach me to use my legs to break up a dog fight. So whatever generic over the counter stuff to kill pain I took is finally kicking in so now I feel up to driving to the doctor.
