Good Friday?

     I was so thankful to have Good Friday off so you will not have any complaints from me in that department. Was it a good day for me? Well, not really. My day was filled with appointments and  disappointing news. I have avoided my annual paps for a while now. I know as a woman that seems a little backward. A few years ago, I had a little bit of a scare. To give you the correct sequence this was about a year before I had Taylor. They took multiple chunks out of me in a biopsy.  

    I think the trauma in the wedding game that went hand-in-hand waiting for the results after that really did mess with me. Everything came back but none but there's always the potential it will develop into full on cervical cancer.  As a preventative, I'm supposed to go once a year and have a pap like most women. I have it been in a few years.  The last one I had was six months after giving birth to Taylor. She did see some concerning things today... So here we are again playing the "waiting game" for results. 

    I'm somewhat relieved that it is over and at the same time I'm now stressed about said results. Do to living in a real community I had to commute well live in an hour just to find a doctor. It being a holiday weekend I'm not even going to get my results until sometime next Thursday or Friday. The countdown begins.

    Let's remain positive as I count down the days. My blood pressure was in a good range, which is always a plus. According to their documentation, I have lost 2 pounds. My husband was supportive enough to keep my child this morning as I went to all my various appointments. I also had the pressure in my eyes checked, and that was also good news. And I have my oil in my car changed. After a very stressful morning, I spent the afternoon at playground with my toddler, enjoying and soaking up the sun. So I guess all in all it was a good Friday for me. Let's hope next Thursday and Friday can also be a."good" Friday as well.

Lists Continued

 I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable.   #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past.      I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on.      I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...

Water Blisters?

Image
      Working on the water during freezing temperatures has its battle scares. My gloves had grown stiff due to the water temperature and I carelessly removed them. My hand carries the results of that dumb choice. This is the first time I have never had this happen. I'm a little concerned as it seems to be spreading. I'll check in at Urgent Care this afternoon.

Lists Again

        While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you.  #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man.  #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose.  #21. I will live somewhere far away from town.  #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life.  #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me.  #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned.         Context:         I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...
