Dis and dat.

My husband I were out doing a little Christmas shopping on Friday when the cell phone rang. It was my doctors office telling me they had set up my iodine uptake test. When she asked if I had a pencil and paper I told her we were shopping and asked if I could call her back when we got home so I could write it on my calendar. She said she could do even better. If I would grant her permission she could leave the info on our answering machine. "That would be fantastic!" I tell her. So we finished our shopping had lunch and returned home. I gather my pencil and paper to write down all the info she left me on the answering machine. PLAY. "This message is for OGO. Please call Dr. Blah blah's office at this number." HUH? I gave her permission to leave the info on our machine. Oh well, I'll call and get it. I dialed them up and found out that they closed at noon on Friday! NOON! It was 1:15 in the afternoon! How was I supposed to get the info. I had questions! She knew they closed early! Why didn't she tell me? UGH. (They are so nice in the office though, I can't stay cranky with them.)

SO I called the place that was supposed to run the test. IT seems they had scheduled me for Tuesday and Wednesday. Which would work out great for me because my in laws are coming and it would free me up to get there. Well they neglected to tell the imaging place that I was on meds for my thyroid. Test cancelled. I have to be off the meds for THREE WEEKS! Three weeks people! I'm gonna be a tired girl! At least it's scheduled. It's far enough in advance I can work it out with my hubby to go with me. He was only going to be able to go to the part when I take the iodine not the pictures. So hopefully he'll be able to be there for that part now. Now we wait.

Did I mention that my mother and father in love are coming to visit for Thanksgiving? Well they are! I'm so excited to see them. They were such a comfort to us with all the crap we went through this year. It will be nice to give them a big hug and a thank you in person. They told me several years ago that where ever we are on Thanksgiving is where they will be. It meant the world to me then and still does now.

We usually decorate my house for Christmas after the thanksgiving dishes are done. This year though, our stuff is all PACKED in the storage unit. It took three big men to stack it as high and tight as they did in that storage unit and CCB wants nothing to do with taking that puzzle apart. So we used our 40% off coupon and bought a little 4 ft tree and some ornaments for it. It won't be the usual fare but at least will have a little festivity going on!
