Did I Ask For Your Opinion?

  Another Monday, another winter storm. Which means school was canceled. Which means D&D from 3-5 tomorrow, not today. Which means that I need to cancel Youngest Child's Covid shot for tomorrow and reschedule. I'm planning to still get mine, which means that DH will have to get YC to D&D and I will pick him up at 5:00. Which means that I had to cancel my ultrasound appointment for 8:00 this morning. And has been rescheduled for Thursday morning at 10:00. No food or water for eight hours prior. I'm sitting on the couch watching one of my many crime shows as it continues to snow outside. I need to muster the energy to get some things done. First up, rescheduling YC's Covid vaccine appointment. Then on to plant watering, floor sweeping, table clearing and stuff for Goodwill gathering. I would love to finally fit in some yoga today. Christmas Tree! I need to figure out where we are going to wedge it in and then I need to get DH and YC to work together on going to ge...

  So, it turns out that I get to keep my gallbladder. At least for now. Gastroenterologist, Dr. Daniels, doesn't favor HIDA scans because apparently they can sometimes give a false positive.🤷 That combined with the fact that my lipase and potassium levels aren't high enough to be overly alarming. And that I have FINALLY started to feel better this past week. Current plan is I am going back to Cottage Hospital in Woodsville for an ultrasound on Monday at 8:00 a.m. to double check for gallstones. If no gallstones are present we are going to let this play out for a while and I will come in for a follow up appointment in March. If anything flares up before then I'm to come in sooner of course. Might have to re-schedule that ultrasound though, because we have another winter storm moving in for Monday. And so it goes....... I decided to be adventurous and take Freddi for our morning walk up Whittier Hill. Holy shit I am so out of shape!😞 I was very out of breath and my heart ...

  It's Friday! Which in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean much since none of us has a regular Monday through Friday schedule anymore. Every time I get a notice from the school that there is a two hour delay, or notices of field trips or ski outings to Burke Mountain I breathe a sigh of relief. These updates no longer apply to us. Instead we are in a state of limbo. Still one foot in the school system, in that Youngest Child is registered as a home schooler, attending after school groups such as D&D, and accessing his second voucher for a class at CCV for the Spring semester. Technically this is his senior year, class of 2024. Which seemed so far away when it was first established  more than a decade ago. As a side note, I always found it weird how students are identified with their graduation year much in the same way inmates are identified by a number. If I really feel like having an in depth and very interesting conversation about this I should bring it up to Young...
