Oh, sorry Dianna. I forgot that sentence was there at the end. My train of thought shifted and I left that last one hanging (since been deleted). I'm not a drama queen, just currently a little tipsy from the vicodin.
I'm OK. I have a blood disorder (Protien S Deficiency) that makes me prone to clots. I usually don't worry about it but from time to time, I get not-so-gentle reminders. There are way worse things to have. I just can't believe the timing of it. I was looking forward to 'retirement'. Give me a few weeks and I'll be back to my old self!
Oh, and so much for a graceful retirement from my PTO career.......
After a record long 3 1/2 hour meeting (surplus allocations, elections, dinner) I was finally free. As I stood up and made for the exit, I was blown over by an excruciating pain in my right calf. YIKES - I've felt that pain before. It means just one thing - a blood clot. A history of DVTs has taught me a thing or two, like run to the ER. Yep, my tenure ended with a night in the hospital. Just when I thought I was decreasing my stress levels.....
Mmmmmm, cake. Tomorrow's my birthday so how about Birthday Cake!!!! You can stop at 25 candles. The other 16 aren't at all necessary....
Big weddings worry me. What's more important, the wedding or the marriage. I was just 17 years old(and no, we didn't 'have' to get married), was engaged for only three weeks, wore a used $40 dress and was given an $80 gold band from my (oh so handsome) 19 year old groom. 23 years later, that ring is still on my finger.
