So I had a root canal two weeks ago yesterday. Actually, it was really two root canals on one tooth (the tooth had two canals instead of one.) It wasn't bad at all! I didn't have to be put to sleep for it. I have to go back in a few weeks to get a crown on the tooth and then a few weeks after that I have to go back to get my teeth cleaned. All of this must be done before I lose my health insurance. Fun.
Over the weekend, Karen and I watched the movie The Hangover and we really liked it. I normally can't take that kind of humor that often but this didn't push it too much. Mike Tyson was in it!
I'm all caught up on my Photo-a-Day...you should check it out!

Once again
Once again it's been far too long since I've written anything on here. I'm online daily, yet I never seem to make the time for this. I'm also a bit behind in posting my Photo-a-day photos. Look for that to be updated in the next few days.
I think I'm going away to the beach this coming weekend. Karen has to work Saturday (but is off Monday for Memorial Day) and is pushing me to go away to be with my friends. My days off are coming to an end and she wants me to get in some things before it's over.
It's another overcast day but I think it's supposed to clear up and get hotter. So far, the AC is turned off but we may have to turn it on. It's been an on-off-on-off time of year for the AC.
I think that's about it. Exciting, huh?

Family Bonding
Mom, Dad, Karen and I all went to the Sheep and Wool Festival held at the Howard County Fairgrounds yesterday. We had a really good time despite the horrendous heat and humidity. It was nice to all be together enjoying ourselves and our surroundings. I'm blessed at how well Karen fits into my family (meaning with Mom, Dad and Chris even though Chris isn't around much.)
I really need to and want to learn to spin using my drop spindle. I bought some roving wool yesterday in GREAT colors to get me started. I'm hoping I am able to get it...I saw kids who were about 8 years old spinning on a drop spindle yesterday so one would think I can pick it up.
I'm nervous as all get out for the dentist today. I'm embarrassed at the condition of my teeth. I have a hole in one tooth and part of that tooth broke off on Friday. Ugh. I'm fortunate that Mom gave me the info on the dentist she just found since she's terrified of the dentist as well. I'm proud of her for going (she has a tooth that broke off as well and she has started seeing the dentist) so I'm going to be brave and go this morning.
It's a gloomy, rainy day and I'd love to be in bed. Karen and I have a routine that I wake up when she wakes up and I leave her house when she leaves for work. This means I get home around 8am every day. Some days she drives me home, some days I drive myself. Even though it means I'm up early, I like our routine. We have some good talks as she drives me home.
I guess that's it. I'm catching up on some DVR'd shows and trying to not think about the dentist. My fear is that she'll (yes, my dentist is a woman)push me to have my wisdom teeth out. I've been told to not have them removed if they aren't bothering you. I'm afraid she'll say they have to be removed especially because of the bad tooth that's going to have to be pulled. UGH. I'm not even sure if she'll clean my teeth today (they are long overdue on a cleaning). More embarrassment. Karen said to schedule my next appointment for the morning of May 12 if possible since she's off and she'll take me. I am blessed to have such a strong supporter in her. I love her with all of my heart. Tomorrow is our One Year Anniversary. We sort of picked a date since we didn't really have a first date...I don't know where I'd be without her.
Later.

Bizarre
Not sure what happened with my last post as it magically published itself prior to me finishing....
Anyway, as I was saying, I'm proud of myself for restarting my Photo a Day project yesterday. True, the first few days are the easiest but I'm truly committed to it. I usually luck into a good photo every once in a while. It's important for me to do this as it gives me something positive to do and gives me an outlet for my restlessness. It's funny that I've restarted it now since the weather is crappy so outdoor shots are out. Oh well. It's not like there aren't tons of opportunities within the walls of my house. It gets boring being in the house alone since I'm not working. So, this blog and my photos should keep me busy. I am frustrated because I've been trying to organize my photos better within Flickr and I keep getting hung up and then stop.
That's enough for now. I hope everyone has a good day!

Movie Night
Last night was a nice family dinner with Mom, Dad, Karen and myself. We have started having these dinners every week or so and they're really nice. Great food conversation with great people equals a great time. Last nights menu was spaghetti with homemade meatballs and boy was it good! After dinner, I watched a really cute movie last night called No Reservations starring Abigail Breslin and Catherine Zeta Jones. It's definitely a guilty pleasure chick flick and I'm surprised at how much I loved it.
I'm proud that I restarted my Photo a Day project yesterday. I like the photo I took yesterday.

It's been a really long time
I've not been keeping up with this and I need to change that. I've decided today is the day that I will restart my Photo A Day project and what better way to do it than to put it down in type with this! It's a bit funny that today is the relaunch day as we will have off and on rain showers today but that's appropriate for me and my personality.
The last time I wrote anything I spoke of joining the gym. Well, it's not going so well. Between my bum shoulder and Karen's bum knees, we're not having that great of a time with it. Plus, they are crazy busy, especially in the "ladies only area" which is disheartening. We will make a decision shortly if we will continue with it.
I spent some time at the beach last week and I will be there again this coming weekend. Everyone knows how much I love the beach!
I think that is all for now. Look for further updates on my oh-so-exciting life soon!

who'd of thunk?
I finally had my big neuro appointment! The doctor, Dr Bajaj, was very thorough, yet easy going. Dad took me and even went back with me and spoke up as needed. I left with a prescription for a preventative medication to be filled and I was pleased. I went to get it filled and it's not approved by insurance. Bleh. I haven't checked to see how much it would cost without insurance. Bleh. A person shouldn't have to fight so hard for their healthcare. It's very frustrating.
Hold onto your seats, you won't believe what you're about to read. Wait for it... I joined a gym! Yep, Karen and I joined Gold's Gym. We are month to month and are very excited. We have a meeting with one of their personal trainers this coming Wednesday. Am I nervous? Heck yeah. But I'm also super excited. I think it will be good not only for my physical health, but for my mental health.
Dad is still out of work, recovering from his surgery. He's working on walking without the cane now. I'm so thankful he's okay. He goes back to the doctor/surgeon in May to check one spot to be sure the cancer is gone.
My anxiety has been up and down lately. I'm working with a FABULOUS psychiatrist who seems to genuinely care about me. I was opposed to Karen seeing him because he doesn't accept insurance, but I now see that because he doesn't accept insurance he's able to spend much more time with his patients. Again, this goes hand in hand with a person fighting for their healthcare.
I guess that's all for now. I'm going stir crazy. Trying to work on photos and I'm not being successful in moving them from the computer onto a memory card for the photo frames. Urgh.
