Busy busy day!!

Productive morning for lying in bed until 9am! I got up, got the table from the garage and put it in the soon to be office for Butch. Put all the collected camera stuff from MY room to that room. Took down the CHRISTMAS wrapping table, yes, it’s been here since before Christmas...then put IT in his office. Then as though that wasn’t enough I pulled a bunch of junk out from of the cabinet on top of the fridge and slotted it to consigment. THEN I cleaned the one above the microwave out and pulled out a large bin FULL of vases to go to consigment. AND loaded the car with all this stuff for Monday! Next up...paint the two lovely water stains on my ceiling from an A/C leak and storm leak. 😕

The kitchen leak before.

Bedroom leak before:





The bedroom leak after (still a little wet):


The proof in the back of the car! Stuffed.


AND something that isn’t listed is the new pool booster pump is installed. Whoop!!


AND I even went to the Wax strip and got my pits waxed as well.

Angela’s adventures

Angela was scheduled for her colonoscopy in the 8th so I figured I would leave work and drive straight up there.

I got out of work on time picked up Sherry as she needed to get her car from the shop. I tracked her down and then circled the block to get her as it was raining and she didn’t have an umbrella. I’m not THAT mean. My umbrella was tiny and broken so couldn’t be shared and actually started to link. So. Got her then drove very sorely off base. I was assuming it was so slow due to Green Street being closed. NOPE the light was out. Sigh.

Finally off base and getting calls from Angela. Her water was off in her apartment. This is NOT good when you are having to poop. A. Lot. So the decision was made to go to a hotel.

I get another call and she’s feeling sick. Uh oh. So by the time I got to Macon she had thrown up her prep. I had to get a little mean and tell her to hang up and go to Walgreens NOW before her drs office closes so they can figure out what to do as an alternative. So goes and gets the magnesium citrate instead. Much better taste and easier to get down. Only 10oz instead of 16.

By the time I get there she is calmer and has gotten the first bottle of two down.

I brought her gallons of water to flush her sick down as well. Sigh. We then load up and go to a hotel.

I had told her to get soup.


She didn’t see the wisdom until I got it for her. She was in LOVE.

She finished her soup and most of her 2nd bottle and we called it a night as we were waking up at 5am to go to the clinic.


Look at the cute socks!
They were nice and let me go back with her - they normally don’t but as she was young they cut her slack. She was so cute coming out of the drugs. :)

The results were NO cancer - everyone’s fear. But it was Crohn’s. This will be a chronic thing and something that will have to be watched I’m sure. But for now not the worst diagnosis as there are medications and treatments and diets to address this.

We went back to the hotel and had a bite to eat from the breakfast then upstairs to bed for a bit as I had arranged for a late checkout. Zzzzzz

We got up at noon and started to pack up to head back to her apartment....only to have her go potty and find 𝖡𝗅𝗈𝗈𝖽. Quite a bit of blood. Read the packet again and learned we should go to the ER. Ok. Off to the ER we go.


This was approved...begrudgingly. But approved. She was soooo mad. Not sad, just mad. “The worst part is the prep they said” was what I remember the most of her comments. Ha! Yeah well...the bleed explains about her first one too. Her body simply processes FAST. She was told no BM for 1 or two days and 7 hours after she ate eggs she was pooping them. Wow!! Not sure how she’s not rail thin with that rate of processing. Just WOW.

So after a few hours in the ER they sent her home as they didn’t think it was anything bad. And apparently it wasn’t as this is now a few days later and all is well.

So. Sucks that it’s Crohn’s; Great that it’s not cancer.
