Hits and Misses (May 18-24)

Happy Memorial Day! Here's a quick look back at the week that was.

HITS

  • There is nothing quite like a great massage to start the week off right. I had tried to schedule a session with my therapist at the end of last week, but he wasn't available....so I had to wait to start the new week with a session. My neck and shoulders were very thankful for the relaxation.
  • The week has been filled with doctor's appointments. I'm not one who "enjoys" seeing the doctor, but it has felt good to get good reports from the optometrist, dentist, and ENT.  The only bad news is that I STILL don't know what's causing my headaches. 
  • On Thursday, we celebrated my Mom's 75th birthday. Since her birthday fell in the middle of the week, there was no big party.....but we still wanted to have a cake. Problem is that everyone in this house is watching their diet at the moment! I made a quick trip to Gigi's Cupcakes on Poplar Avenue for a few "small" cakes. The cupcakes are scrumptious, even if the icing is just a little too thick for our taste. I have a feeling I will be placing other orders with Gigi's Cupcakes in the future.
MISSES
  • I hate when a miss comes early in the week and is musical. On Monday evening, my parents and I went to my niece's choir concert. I'm glad we could support her, but I have to sum up the quality of the concert in a single word: PAINFUL! Yikes! I'll be saying more about my thoughts on this concert in a future post.
  • I despise doing paperwork. When I called the ENT to set up an appointment, I was able to get in the next day. Since I was a new patient, I had to complete a MOUNTAIN of paperwork about my medical history, allergies, and hearing. 
  • When I arrived at the ENT, I learned that my insurance would not be covering my visit to the specialist. Instead, the charges would be counted toward my (exorbitant) deductible. I'm glad I could afford the charges to get the work done, but also reminded how badly I need medical benefits soon.
