I know I haven't been doing so great with the blogging this year. It's like my brain wants to, but my fingers don't, or vice versa. I don't know.

On the other hand, I've had so much going on health-wise too that I just haven't felt like it.  I was sick for most of January and February and while I have felt much better this month, I've had to other issues they're looking at involving my liver and gallbladder and now my spine, complete with MRIs. I have to go next week to have another MRI, this time for my chest to look at my spine.  Not looking forward to it at all...I've never really been claustrophobic before (well, except when I have a stuffy nose) but last week when I had the MRI on my liver I was like, whoa! For some reason I just figured my head would be sticking out of there, but oh no...I was in there and that thing was right in my face. it took me a few minutes to calm down some and get through it.  When I was done and in my car, I got a call from them, asking me if I had left yet and I said no, and they asked me to come back in and have a few more pictures taken because they had missed a note my doctor had added. So I had to do it again!! Yikes! 

And now I have to do it again next week.  Hopefully that will be it because from what I've read about abnormalities on the spine, its usually just because of aging. Which is what I'm doing. Aging. Quickly.  At least the MRI on my liver came back mostly okay, I do have fatty liver (big surprise...though most of the time it is associated with drinking and I may only have a drink a couple of times a month) and I have gallstones (which don't bother me).  I can reverse the fatty liver thing, just have to set my mind to doing it so it doesn't cause other problems.

Getting old sucks.

I'm going to be 60 in 26 short days. And I'm no where near what I had planned on. Most of it my own fault, but some of it not.  I really would have liked to have retired, but it looks like that is on hold until I'm 62, though I'm hoping that it just might happen next year instead if things go through work-wise. We'll see. Keep your fingers crossed. But I'm not holding my breath.

In 24 days I will be in California to celebrate mine, Vanessa's, Janie's, and Teresa's birthdays. I bought us tickets to go to a dinner play at Roger Rocka's which should be fun.  And I have things planned to do at mom's while I'm there, like measuring every room and planning them out and probably buying a bed this time around. 

My retirement just can't get here fast enough!!!
