November 23

Okay, so I have been slacking on the posts…being gone almost every weekend I am always trying to play catch up.

Spent the weekend at home for a change…Friday watched tv and spent time with the new guy Palmer, my 6 month old kitten.  Saturday watched the Gators beat FIU 62-3, had fun watching the offense go.  Also went out for fondue and saw the Blind Side.  Loved the movie, cried happy tears for Michael Orr.   Sunday cleaned the house and put up all of my Christmas decorations.

I am just as tired as if I went away for the weekend.   Good thing it is a short week.

Today I have to go the dermatologist for a skin cancer check up.  Not to be negative but I think I have a new melanoma.   Please send positive thoughts my way as I will have to start the whole 10 year of being cancer free over and I have made it 7 plus years so far. 

On a happy note…the hissing is not as bad in my house.  I think the older cats are finally getting used to Palmer.

Had a great weekend in Fort Lauderdale.  Went to a very good friend’s son’s Bar Mitzvah.  I remember when he was born, wow hard to believe 13 years have gone by already.  It was a beautiful and fun event.  Eric and I even danced, with me in high heels!  After the event, we went to a friend’s house to watch the UF vs. SC football game.  Tough second and third quarters but the Gators pulled out win number 10 on the road!  Go Gators!

Tomorrow, I am taking the feral cats to the neuter scooter to be fixed.  I have an appointment for five but will probably only be able to catch three of the cats.  I hope all goes well.  I am stressing out about this whole process.

Need to start thinking up some good, easy recipes for Thanksgiving.  I will be doing all of the cooking.  Any ideas?

Okay, so I am officially grossed out!  Found out yesterday, that the yellow, bubbly rash on my arm is impetigo.  I had to leave work yesterday and go straight to the doctor.  My doctor is on vacation so luckily another doc at the clinic saw me and prescribed amoxicillin to clear it up.  He told me to stay home today and possibly Friday.  I told him I have a workshop that was already paid for on Friday and only adults will be in attendance.  He said I could go if I wore long sleeves and put band aids on the bubbly spots.  I have to take the amoxicillin for 10 days, three times a day.  So gross!  Don’t do well with skin issues that are contagious.

We are headed out to Gainesville, Friday evening  for the Vandy game, hope it will be cool as I will have to wear long sleeves.  Hope the Gators put up some points and keep Vandy’s score low, would love to see something like 42-7!  Vandy always gives the Gators a hard time when they come to the Swamp.  I remember a few years back, where we thought we were going to win big and the game ended up going into overtime with Gator fans sweating it out until we finally won.

Since I am home, I hope to get some things done today, filing, organizing and laundry.  Well better get to it.

Go Gators!
