cabensonI have an unnatural addiction to many things the movie, "Armageddon". Every time it's on the tube, I HAVE to watch it, even though I own it on DVD. This morning, the director's cut was on STARZ on Demand, so I settled in for another viewing. I would say I have seen this flick, either whole or bits and pieces, over 100 times. I guess I just love "end of the world as we know it" disaster/action flicks.
It's damn gorgeous here today. Sunny and 44 degrees. The warm temps from yesterday took us from 4" of snow and ice covered lawns and sidewalks to green grass and mud. I couldn't be happier.
I am slowly starting to feel better. Yesterday, I actually made it through a trip to the grocery store and didn't get short of breath until we were heading for the check-out. Of course I had to take a 3-hour nap after we unpack.ed everything. Have 2 doc appts on Thursday, one to evaluate Ned the Nodule that was found in my thyroid gland. She may want to do a biopsy. I ain't so sure about this. I may have to trade her a biopsy for the colonoscopy she wants me to have next month. I am so not into that shit, pun intended. Maybe if my hgb is back up, she'll back off on that one. Still haven't gotten rid of my "brain fog", but it should get better as the hgb and vit d levels increase. Seriously, I thought I was having hundreds of mini-strokes or something, cause I just cannot focus on anything.
The boys are enjoying the sunshine and I am thinking about spring. I think this year, Mrs. CB and I should get some bicycles and start going for rides. I need the sunshine and we both need the exercise. I'm not even worried about my back anymore-if I survive ice-skating and 2 bone-rattling falls on the ice, I think I can ride a bike again.
Gonna watch some OSU women vs.Michigan St. while I work on the sequel to The Gaying of Callie and Hahn. This sequel is gonna be a lot meaner and snarkier because I am still pissed. Maybe this will be what I need to finally let it all go.
We had huge chef salads for lunch, and I am gonna make up some pinto beans and ham, and cornbread for dinner. YUM!!
Let me know how you are all doing.

Date: 2009-02-08 07:25 pm (UTC)Good to hear that your weather is improving, and very good to hear that you're improving with it. I've got to get back in the 'bike riding saddle' again soon, the pool, too. Time's a wasting...
On the colonoscopy note, there's a new prep out there now that isn't as nasty as the Colyte. I don't remember what it's called, but drop me a line if you do have to go through the procedure. My friend tells me it's so much easier to get down than the Colyte and much less liquid, too. They use it at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, so I know it's got to be something that's just as effective...pardon the pun.

Date: 2009-02-08 09:15 pm (UTC)Glad to hear you're progressing... I scared my cardio-gentic consultant when I actually cheered for joy on being told I had an incurable genetic disorder that would seriously screw with my body for the rest of my life. She didn't appreciate that sometimes knowing the shit you're in (or equally not in) is better than not knowing. Dare I say it, it's almost as if Rumsfeld was right with his known knowns drivel.
We have cold here - you might have noticed the whole world laughing when London closed on account of it snowing about 3 inches overnight last weekend. For someone with as much metal in their extremities (and aforealluded to disorder) cold that generates snow that settles in urban areas is extremely unhelpful. A boss being a dick further adds to the inconvenience.
Food is good - as is femslash, maintext even better. (I never got into GA, but have rediscovered Hospital Central which is almost the same except their scrubs are lilac *g*).
Good luck with the bike riding, my knee is grating just thinking about pedals...

Date: 2009-02-10 10:07 pm (UTC)Glad to hear you're feeling better, but I recommend (as did darandkerry) that you *not* name your thyroid's nodules. Trust me, too, it's best not to get personal with it. At all. As to a needle biopsy, I can warn you, it will probably be the most unpleasant and invasive of the procedures you could have done on your thyroid - including having the damn thing removed. There's not a lot of pain per se, just serious discomfort that leaves your neck (er, well, it left *my* neck) black and blue for weeks. I'm only telling you because it would have been NICE if someone had told me.
And welcome to the Vitamin D Deficiency Club! I've been taking megadoses (50,000 IU's) twice a month now for over a year. My number has gone up, but it's still not where it should be. Hot diggity.
If I ever see The American President, I watch. Everytime. Even though I have the DVD. I think we all have a movie. Course, I'll watch "Cat Ballou," too, so perhaps I ain't saying much. Har.
Am waiting for your sequel to "The Gaying..." Much as I don't want to, I agree with you about needing to finally let it all go. I'm having trouble on that front. Can't understand why, because it's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before. Must have been the deep feeling of BETRAYAL or something.
Take it easy!

With all the new Grey's drama, I keep hoping they will come to their senses and bring back my HAHN!!! But I know better. Cabot will be back on SVU next month and I'll start obsessing over that and forget GA ever existed.

I posted a WTF in mine the other day over the substitution of Crapshaw for Smith.
grrr.
