A Visit to the Doctor

A funny thing happened at the doctor's....

All last week I was having major boobie pain (I'd use the word breast, but using that word makes me think of chicken breast...so, boobie it is) to the point that it was odder than odd. It was so odd because I couldn't feel the pain when I checked, but it felt like it was there. Like a sensation. I usually get bobbie pain when I have my monthly visitor and, when I was younger, I use to get unbearable bobbie pain that would last two weeks until I got my visitor. But this was just odd.

Thank goodness I had a doctor's appointment later in the week, but bad because the pain was making a nervous wreck. I checked my boobies to make sure I didn't find anything...and nothing. But the pain was still worrying me. It was nothing like I've ever had before. The pain was centralized from one boob to the next and when I had checked, I felt no pain.

So finally my doctor's appointment arrived and off to the doctor's I went. I was so nervous that I couldn't even read my book. I was so nervous that every time a name was called I jumped. I was so nervous that when the nurse came to talk to me and tell me there was a HUGE delay I could barely swallow. Not going to lie, anything to do with my boobies makes me nervous.

Finally it was my turn.

As the doc commenced on his routine check, I tell him about my "issue".

Doctor: "have you checked yourself?"
Me: "yes and nothing."
Doctor: "where are you in regards to your menstrual cycle?"
Me: "well, according to my app on my phone, I'm 
fertile and ovulating"

He. Could. Not. Stop. Laughing.





I'm fine. Doctor said that pain is normal, even if I've never had anything like it.

I thought I'd share with you this amusing conversation with my doctor.

Another Recap

I really thought I wasn't going to be doing anymore of these "recaps", but I guess I lied to myself...DOH! [insert Homer Simpson's voice here]


My newest and latest addiction in the "Sewing Game" 
is making earrings out of fabric. 
I have made so many that I have no room in my jewelry box...


I have also sold my very first item...

I really wanted to keep them for myself :)

I have also become a HUGE fan of fabric boxes...

this one is currently holding all my belts

The other night a friend of mine, who is originally from Jamaica,
had a Jamaican dinner at her house. She didn't know how 
to make beef patties (which are my fave!), but she did consoled
me with some fried plantains...


YUM!

I finally decided to whip out the Grenadine and 
make myself a Shirley Temple...

memories

Ordered DH's homecoming banner 
AND
I'm in the midst of finishing up a homemade banner,
which will be hung up on the garage...

the one I ordered...its a surprise for DH, hence as
to why I'm not showing it.
I haven't finished it yet...but its ALL made out of
fabric

Saw another beautiful desert sunset...


AND...

Of course I HAD to add a picture of Brownie :)...

The Bunny vs Me

Here's something to laugh about:

The other day I was running errands and had to stop by my house to drop something off, pick something up and head to my next errand-mission. In the process of being home I opened the garage door, pulled my car in but decided on not closing the garage. I mean, what for? I was only going in and out of the house. I leave. Close the garage door and finish running my errands. I come home open the garage door. Close it and go about my day.

A little later I decide to check to make sure I closed the garage door. I open the door leading to the garage and see a bunny hopping around. I screamed! I closed the door quickly and composed myself. I opened the door again and opened the garage door. I left the door open for a few minutes in hopes that the bunny go out.

It did...


Or so I thought...

Later in the evening I hear a rattle in the garage. I call my friend and she said she's bringing over her son so he can get the bunny out of the garage. He finds it a matter of seconds hidden behind one of many DH's boxes. He moves this around and eventually manages to free the bunny. It was so tiny. Poor bunny.

I swear, if I had carrots I could've lured that bunny out. HEY! it works on Bugs Bunny.

Recap

I know, I know, I haven't blogged in a while. I do have a good excuse though...I have nothing to blog about. Literally.

Instead of doing a "Week/Weekend Recap", I'd thought I'd do "Fun Events That Have Happened To Me Lately Recap" type post. Like I said, I haven't been doing much, but the exciting and fun things I have been doing have spread throughout some weeks.

So, here it goes...

First:


Deployment is slowly creeping up to an end and I'm starting to get more and more excited by each passing minute. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Second:

A few weeks ago some of the wives and I celebrated a friend's birthday. We asked her what she wanted to do and she said "karaoke". We found one in downtown 29 at one of the local bars. Planned It. "Dressed Up" (I put this in quotations marks because if you have been to 29 you know that you don't really need/have to "dress up") and enjoyed our night.

We had so much fun trying to sing...


apparently, i did not know the words to the song

Busting out our finest moves on the dance floor...


don't you just love my expression. i know, i know...HOTNESS (hahaha)

...and relaxing for the first time in a long time.





Third:

My MiL came to visit. I can honestly say that it was great having her around. I needed that. I needed family around. I had to stop her from crying when she left, because I knew that if she cried that would be it for me. 

The most memorable thing from that trip was her being able to see and talk to DH. When I found out my MiL was coming DH and I planned for her to go to his unit and talk to him via VTC. I had it all mastered out. I was going to ask her to come with me to his unit because I "had to sign some papers" (lie) and she could see where he worked. She had said "yes" earlier in the day until bed time came around. She had been up all night the night before and was functioning on 5 hours of sleep so she told me that if she's up she'll come with me. If not, leave without her. DAMMIT! I immediately messaged my SiL to see if she could "con" her into waking up and coming with me. It took a lot of convincing from my SiL but she finally arose and came along. We get to the unit and I take her to the VTC. At this point she's lost. She has no clue what she's doing there and why I'm leaving her, until I tell her "have fun talking to Brian". She started to cry. Bless :) 

Fourth:

I got my Erin Condren Life planner (aka: planner/agenda) and I love it!!! It has everything (stickers, room to write, etc)...its my new BFF!

this is how it came packaged




Fifth:

This one is bittersweet. I send job applications and I have actually been getting callbacks, but, of course, I never get the job. Its good and bad. Good that I'm actually moving to be considered. Bad because I still have no job.

Sixth:

I finally figured out, and sewed, some much needed throw pillowcases. Our bedroom colors are: red, brown and beige but the brown was taking over the room. Kind of making it "blah".



That's it for my recap!
