I paid my bills today and I am broke again. In the checking account at least. Easy come easy go. ---

Fine I will just talk to myself ala **Swampy**. To,orrow is the big day for CT SCAN W/ Contrast. This here contrast worries me. Is it IV or sprayed into my nose? I guess I will find out tomorrow. I just hope I can get whatever fixed before the end of the year. I am tired of one side of my head being all stopped up. ---

**metal mouse** , be grateful that you’re in good enough health that one annual check up / bloodwork is all that’s needed. That’s why I have the premium insurance plan. 😃 Good luck on your exams **nut**! Today was a Monday all day. The !@#$ on the weekend that I used to share a cube with requested and was granted to be moved to my desk once again. He proceeded to leave me an email demanding that I do things just so. After our departmental round table this afternoon, I took him aside and told him that, as he had requested my desk, any complaints of how I have things set up will be construed as a request to be returned to his originally assigned place. 😃 I even cleared this with my supe beforehand. 😃 😃 I think that he’s just clueless of how to back up his desktop and couldn’t live without some of the [del]crap[/del] things on my computer. Laundry is in the dryer, supper is et and vaccuuming is done. ---

I noticed the other day that the XBox logo [![](https://compass-ssl.xbox.com/assets/a9/d0/a9d03015-2760-43df-8056-d23af1969289.gif?n=xbox_facebook_200x200.gif) ](https://compass-ssl.xbox.com/assets/a9/d0/a9d03015-2760-43df-8056-d23af1969289.gif?n=xbox_facebook_200x200.gif) looks like the end of a Playtex applicator [http://period.theperiodblog.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC0035-copy-copy.jpg](http://period.theperiodblog.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC0035-copy-copy.jpg) ---

I guess I will find out tomorrow. I just hope I can get whatever fixed before the end of the year. I am tired of one side of my head being all stopped up. Hi! _waves_ I have lots of scans, in case you’re wondering. For contrast they will first do a scan without contrast, then you will get the contrast. Usually it’s given in an IV. Quite often, once you get it, you’ll feel a quick, warm flush sweep through your entire body. It often makes people feel like they’ve peed their pants. Don’t worry. Everyone feels like it, and no one does. It’s just the chemical moving through your blood stream. The contrast let’s your doctor see a few additional details. It’s all over super quick. ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **Sunny,** what is it about cats and boxes? I’ve never owned a cat so really don’t understand them. Even lifelong cat slaves like me don’t really understand our furry rulers. It’s part of their charm. 🙂 Callers today weren’t so bad personality-wise, there were just too damn many of them, and have been for the last week! At least I emerged from the game of musical sups/desks unscathed. Same sup, same desk. Even got a nicer neighbor. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 55 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 80 and mostly N.O.S. this afternoon. Rain is allegedly comin’ in tonight and tomorrow’s high will be 57 Amurrkin. We shall see. A cold front is supposed to come through and give us more seasonable temps. Plans to day are to see the dentist and the eye doc. Rah. We shall go to our favorite Mexican place for comestibles this evenin’. Lookin’ forward to that as I love me some Mexican groceries. **Nuts** good luck with the exams. **Butters** hope all goes well with the doc stuff today. **MetalMouse** yay for the trip to China! Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I shall purtify and go about the day. Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

In the office extra early this morning because I need to be home at noon for the furnace guy. Terrible night last night. 10:45, we were both jolted out of bed because GEICO decided to send a text to my phone. In the dark and quiet, my text notification ring is particularly terrifying! Plus, since I have a cheapie flip phone, I only got the last little bit of the text - I have no idea what they were sending me. Today, GEICO will get a phone call. :mad: Other than that, just another day in paradise. Happy Tuesday! ---

Happy Tuesday all. Been up since 5. Rained briefly before sunrise, but dawned pretty. Had coffee, admin, and 'Dope so far. Food next. Will have semi-annual wellness doctor visit later this morning. Otherwise a quiet day awaits. I hope. ---

Good morning Mumpers. Rainy outside and a quick look at the radar says it’s going to be wet for awhile around here (most is North of us, so **red** (I think) will get more rain, but still a good day to be in. Sent my paperwork and 50% down to the travel agency in Canada (found out I can use three USA “forever stamps” to send a letter to Canada) so the China vacation is looking set. Ah, **doggio, flytrap, and spidey,** what would we do without you? Because we certainly have no clue what to do with you… **Moooomm** , there is nothing more infuriating that a late-night call waking you up for a completely mundane reason. Go get 'em!! ---

He suggested an April departure (they already have the minimum needed to book it), and that would probably be more sensible, but it’s also in the middle of Spring Soccer, so… I’ll stick with the hot season (can’t be any hotter than North Ali-bama in July…). The company also has a Yangtze river cruise option, same price, so I need to review that before making a final call. > > But after 40 years since I promised myself I would visit China, looks like I’m finally going!! > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Ah, **doggio, flytrap, and spidey,** what would we do without you?

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **ruble,** my insurance only picks up one exam per year’s time, so I’m good until March. Because of the high deductible I am now stuck with post-ACA I have a little more leeway what I can get away with. And since the ongoing is BP and heart I just feel better doing twice a year as I get older. My doctor has become a friend of sorts and I think she would see me for free if it was necessary and she REALLY wants the twice a year as well so --------------------- Heck, I got a deal with her; she doesn’t pallatize packages for Amazon and I don’t try to second guess medical decissions. 😉 Awake and perky and getting ready for work.
