Tuesday

Bummer. My internet connection keeps going away this morning. So, I’m writing in Word, which is not the same as writing directly into my blog.


I woke up early this morning, around 5:30, and had my coffee on the porch, enjoying the sound of the rain. Finally, rain. It’s been a long time since we’ve had any rain, and everything is parched.

Yesterday morning, I didn’t get up until 6:30, and I had a doctor’s appointment at 7:45. I didn’t have time to sit quietly with my coffee. I didn’t get any coffee at all. It was a rude way to start the day.

My doctor’s appointment was for a pap smear, not one of my favorite things, but in this case, I was glad for the appointment.  I started having some intermittent bleeding on Saturday, so naturally, I was concerned.  The doctor did the pap smear, and scheduled me for an ultrasound on Wednesday.  I go back for the results on November 23rd.  The word cancer is on my mind, so I plan to keep myself occupied so that I don't dwell on it. 

We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.
