Progress...maybe

So I saw the doctor on Monday morning. You know, the one who is firmly convinced if I would just lose weight that I would be the picture of health? That one. Anyway...she still isn't convinced that the two other doctors who have diagnosed me with fibromyalgia are right, but at least she has gotten off the weight loss jag. For this I am thankful. I know I'm fat. This is not a surprise to me, but I am still trying to balance how to lose weight when any exercise AT ALL makes me hurt so bad I can hardly function for the next two days. But I digress...the doc has ordered multiple blood work ups to check for various issues including Rheumatoid arthritis, and just for the annual cholesterol, blood sugar, etc that goes with a physical. She has also ordered xrays of the areas that are causing me the most pain to see if there is arthritis present or some other issue. Blood work is done, xrays are going to have to happen tomorrow morning or Friday.

Progress on other fronts...I found a table on craigslist that was both within our price range (which is to say CHEAP) and large enough to seat our ever growing family. My parents and I are taking a trek to Dallas to pick it up in about half an hour. I'm delighted. The older, and smaller, table is going in the area where I do my scrapbooking and other crafts. I'm tickled pink to have a larger area to work with, especially since I have quite a few projects in the works. I have Alexia and Kyle's wedding scrapbook, Courtnee's scrapbook for her son Anthony who was only with her for such a short period of time, and a few things I want to get done for family members. I also have to box up and ship out some ornaments to a friend, Christmas cards, and Christmas presents. So...progress is being made.

Now it is time to make progress with getting a shower! :D
