Poked Again

No, not THAT kind of poke - get your minds out of the gutter!  Bloodwork and my favorite....24 hour urine test....were done Wednesay, April 6.  I get the results on Wednesday, April 13.  Will, of course, let you know the results.  Must say I am a little "freaked" about getting results now.  Guess I got a little complacent over the past year with having such stable numbers.  We all get that way, even in relationships.  Watch out for that everyone...because when there is a change, it can shock the hell out of you.  Don't take anything for granted.

The only good thing about having those tests was that my dear friend from Chicago was here visiting me.  Laurie Rogers, yes, Laurie Rogers - haven't seen her in 9 years.  My God, I am so tired.  She arrived Friday, April 1 and that first night we stayed up until 3am.  Didn't sleep in very long (either of us) continued talking the next day, ALL DAY, and went to bed at 5am.  Won't bore you with the gory details, but by the end of the week, we both looked like shit, bags under our eyes, me - I damn near have lost my voice from talking - but I'd do it again in a heartbeat!  What a fantastic time.

Poor Tuck, though.  He can't fathom how two women who can spend hours on the phone could possibly have anything to say in person.  Laurie and I just looked at each other and laughed.  The only reason we went to bed was because of sheer exhaustion...we could have talked 24/7.  Before she got here, we were talking on the phone for about an hour, when Tuck called from an Indian Casino which is about an hour and a half away from here, to let me know he was on his way home.  When he got home, Laurie and I were still talking.  He laughed and said "You're STILL on the phone with Laurie?  What the hell will you talk about when she gets here?"  Poor guy - spent most of the time in his man cave watching golf and playing on his computer, because is was non-stop chatting.  Now he knows first hand the indepth conversations that women can carry on.

She left Saturday morning - and I didn't get out of bed until 10:30.  On top of that, took a two-hour nap in the afternoon. 

Laughter is the best medicine, especially when shared with loved ones!  I treasure you all, you know.
