We've had a constant wind here today gusting to 64 mph, rattling the windows and sending my bird feeder on wild rides. Lots of storms on the way this week but most are to be weak here in the valleys with most snow in the mountains. That's how I like it.
The flowers and trees are confused because it has been such a mild winter. The crocus, tulips and a variety of trees are already budding. I hope they'll make it through this craziness.

My husband is feeling guilty today. I woke up sneezing & coughing. "Honey, you did use the sanitizer those first 2 days you were sick, right? You were careful so I wouldn't catch it." "Oh, $#$$!"he says,"I forgot. I only touched the cupboards, the frig and everything. " And proceeded to Clorox it all. That was 2 days ago. We are now both sneezing, moaning and laughing. We made lemonade out of this week's lemons.

Today was one of my strongest days. I went for a nice drive cranking out the 1960's tunes and alternately listening to Sean Hannity. Topped it off with a buffet dinner with my husband who ate 3 plate fulls while I stuck to mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, popcorn shrimp and a bowl of broccoli cheese soup drowned in soup crackers.
Strength is coming back faster now.
Only side note..the doc called. They found 4 polyps not 3 and took 3 biopsies of my stomach so in a week or so I'll let you know the news. I expect it to be news I can "live" with. :)
The Utah Jazz are falling apart as they do every year since Stockton and Hornacek quit..oh, and Malone. I swear it is something in their uniforms. They start out strong and we all get hopeful and it's at that moment the bottom falls out. Why? Is Corbin too much like Sloan? I love Sloan but he couldn't control his team in the end. They are undisciplined. But I love them. Something has to drastically change. Corbin,. is it you? I just don't know. Go, Jazz. Win!

Great to have the scopes over with. It went well and was a piece of cake. It is true that the worst part is the colon cleansing the night before. It is not painful or embarrassing. My first one was 10 yrs ago. What a difference a decade makes! You go to sleep so quickly that it almost feels like you just nodded off. Of course they want you to recommend the procedure to all you can to save many that did not have to die from colon cancer. My niece died last year from it.
Highlighting it all is this; the doctor found 3 polyps that were removed and are being biopsied. I am praying for the best.
Very soon I hope to be through with this darn medical stuff. I don't like to bother other people and keep a lot to myself.. haha, so I blog it. That doesn't make sense but it does help. I think. Sometimes I think I am nuts to be doing this.

Good news/bad news.I got a call this morning and the dr. had a cancellation so tommorow afternoon (I guess it is tomorrow my time already) I go in the the scopes. I've been drinking nasty meds all night to they can clearly see the colon. More tomorrow morning. I am so anxious...here I've been so hungry for weeks only eating bizarre foods and now nothing for 2 days.
However, I've been told the test is so fast and simple and after the mild sedation wears off you can actually go out to eat. Man, I'd like burnt toast right now. OH, the hunger pangs!!
Just think I would have had to wait until Mar. 28th for this. 5 weeks more. This is a blessing. Please think happy thoughts that they won't find anything..or if they do, something I can be cured of. Prayers do work miracles.

I realized today March Madness will soon be upon us. It does become a wild and crazy time but exciting to watch. Are any of you overseas who cannot keep track? If so, just ask and I will do my best to help you when it begins.
There's no place like home when these events occur.
Dan is pretty sick tonight, he hasn't had a cold in a couple of years and this hit out of the blue.Wow, when he sneezes I jump nearly every time. Hope it clears quickly as he has a couple of jobs in the cold which wont' help.
Take care my friends. If you come back once in a while, please leave a comment. Feeling a little lonely here at times.

I have done next to nothing today. It was a day of channel flipping, trying to nibble a little now and then and staying in the jammies.
Oh, I did get some good news: the liver and pancreas blood tests came back within normal limits.It looks like those fun "scopes" will be the greatest source of info.
Time to write some notes.
