In Search of My Body vol.9 - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

[lisaviolet]

Lisa, if I funnel you all the plans, can you write it all up?

The girl has gone CRAZY.

Her child must be affecting her brain.

I'm already in SEVERE JEALOUSY MODE (I rapidly bypassed the lovlier more noble cousin - envy ) and if I write it up it will be through VERY dramatic tears.

Ummm, no.

 

[lisaviolet]

For now!!! Your lake and I might be getting close. I'm heading back up to Vermont in two weeks and the boy I'm seeing lives 30 minutes from the lake and has a house there. Do I have to teach you how to share your lake with others?

Tradsies.

I'll give you Plattsburgh (insert evil smilie) if I can have Burlington.

Actually I want South Hero too.

Lol, guess I should explain that (I can't remember if I have or not.) I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder in October called hemachromatosis, which basically means my body takes in more iron than it should. That can be dangerous because the extra iron collects in the heart, liver, and other organs and that in turn can cause severe health issues.

Anyway, it's called the "good news" disease because the way to combat it, is to give blood; however, at the beginning until they can get the iron levels down to a manageable level, they start taking a pint of blood approx. every week to 2 weeks. So by December, I was very very weak, and that's why i could only start walking. At my appt in December they decided I didn't need to come back for a month (yay.)

So I went to my appt on Friday and ended up giving a pint (almost passed out for the first time ever), but after that I don't have to go back for two months. So now I pretty much have all my energy now and can really jump right into things.

Wow.

Wow Rob.

That must be frustrating.

Good to hear that you're at least in a good place right now with it all.

Notice I didn't put the boy on the table.


Oh and I want all ferries. Notice the spelling - the boat kind.

Oh, the blog made me cry lots.

Me too, I've had to stop reading it for a minute because I can't see properly!

Link me.

When I'm finished my trip report - I"m on it. Although I'm sighing just thinking about it.

This is the link to the trip report, it is very well written! The link to the blog is in that thread.

Ah your trip report! It is next on my list of things to do. Yes, I have a list. Im a geek but I embrace it!

So I'm off. BUT not without saying -

Yes, that's right Liz - the Commonwealth has spoken!

You'll have VERY AVID readers here cheering you all on.

Yes! If we don't get plans we will hold back any of the details on the Royal Wedding

Wow Rob that sounds crazy! Glad you don't have to go back for a month

I need to look at your FB pics - are there pics of the boy? Going now to find out!

So you're leaving me with all the water and none of the nice places to visit? Are you aware that Burlington has the only J Crew in the northern Vermont area? I need access to J Crew flip flops at all times during the summer! Take the boy, just leave me Burlington and it's J Crew!



I might take that back later.

 

[poppinspal]

Yes Kelly I put up a few.


So just found out......


I have a snow day tomorrow!!!

 

[Ronda93]

Running to take DGF's niece to dinner.

Hi Lisa!

Plan online, please. How can I live vicariously without it?

I'll go looking for the sad trip report.

Remember the beginning of Cars, "I, am speed" I'm working on something about paper towels, but it's not there yet.

Meg, we expect details.

Enjoy your snow day - stay safe!

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Sorry I did not read all the posts

Hi Lisa & Kelly

Ronda enjoy your dinnner and OMG on the miles on the treadmill

Nancy, how much longer will the sewing take over your life?

Liz, I sent you a PM with my info

E & Meg, Yay for snow day

EE, hows the snow by you? I know IN was hit pretty hard this weekend, did it mis you?

a little drama here, the school called and said Alaina was 103, I got there and she was not that bad, I then drive all the way to the doc's and they tell me her tonsils are so large she does not have much room to breath, she snores all the time so this really was not a shocker, but they are talking about taking them out. The thought of my 3 year old in surgery is freaking me out.
I know get a grip, dont start with the What If's.. I am going to the basement to do a Jillian DVD.

I will check in after dinner.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

So plans. My. We are getting on aeroplanes. We are getting off aeroplanes. Munchkins will bring us to castles.

that 'bout sums it up!

wowza Rob! That's quite a lot to deal with. Good to hear that you don't have to go back for a month though. Baby steps, right?

jeepers. Now I have to read.

Yes! If we don't get plans we will hold back any of the details on the Royal Wedding

wait. there's going to be a wedding?

Are you aware that Burlington has the only J Crew in the northern Vermont area?

As well as the ONLY Olive Garden in the entire state. For real.

Nancy, how much longer will the sewing take over your life?

The production is at the end of March, so....yeah. Until then.

look at you managing your stress! Nicely done, Jo.

 

[poppinspal]

And there's no Target in the whole state, the whole state!

 

[AKASnowWhite]

well, since we're throwing Vermont State Facts around...Vermont has the only state capital (Montpelier) without a McDonalds. Score one for the Green Mountain State

 

[3DisneyKids]

We don't have a snow day...yet. I am all but sure that we will, but I made the kids to their homework anyway. Now they are asleep with spoons under their pillows facing east! Is that only a Maine thing?

 

[AKASnowWhite]

we do. Snow just started, and we're expected to get quite a bit - 14-18" I think, so yep school is already cancelled.

Now they are asleep with spoons under their pillows facing east! Is that only a Maine thing?

They're what now?

 

[goofyfan-12]

You all have been chatty tonight. Just finished baking a cake for my project engineer's birthday. I will be trekking to work with it tomorrow. No snow day for me. :-(. Oh well - not much I can do about that so in I go.

Feeling better physically but in a bit of a funk today. Don't know why but there it is. I am reading but don't have it in me to respond. Sorry. :-(

Off to bed...

 

[3DisneyKids]

They're what now?

Yeah, we are expected to get 12" + as well.

So the spoon thing...when kids want a snow day, they put a spoon under their pillow facing east (the spoon has to face east) and that will guarantee a snow day. No idea where that came from. But all of the teachers are into it and tell the kids to do it, etc. They get into it. They also wear their PJs inside out and flush an ice cube down the toilet. No superstitions in CT?

WOW, I have never heard of that.

Did you get your snow day?

Sorry about your funk Paula

 

[Ronda93]

E - spoons, PJs and ice cubes were mentioned by a local weather guy this week. I'd never heard of it until then.

Paula - one, made to order, funk zapper

We had snow Monday. Now it's brutal cold. Zero and windy for a few nights. I need a GOOD reason to open the door.

SNOW DAY!

It's really coming down! Oh, how I love a snow day! Kids are already getting suited up to go out...not bothering to wait until the snow ends. It's a pretty huge storm, though, so it looks like it will snow all day.

I never heard about any of the superstitions as a child either...just when my kids started school. So I have no idea where they came from??
