Fall is...well, falling!

We are right on the edge of September. Where has this year gone? I know I shouldn't be surprised because I have been conscious (most of the time) but I am truly amazed that we are on the precipice of fall...the holiday season. Since last I blogged I have been rather sedentary. Enjoying the last days of my summer break because, yes, I am going to sub at least one more year. I actually have found these last few days that I am restless and anxious for some normalcy. Since all I have ever know since I was 16 is working, then that is my normalcy. In the meantime, and to kill time, I have done a few things until I begin working again. First, Ronnie and I went to Choctaw with Ryan and Rich. It was just a quick trip up and back, but it was fun. Especially since I came home a winner. I turned $7 into $265 so I was very happy. That rarely happens for me. I also FINALLY schedule and went to a dental appointment that was previously scheduled in April, 2011, before my car accident. I go tomorrow for the final step...the real crown. Ronnie had surgery to remove a fatty tumor from his back and I took him to that and took care of him for a couple of days after while he was in pain and sore. I followed up with a CT scan and appointment to find out that the lump in my foot is actually a benign cyst that I don't have to do anything with unless it grows or the pain increases. Speaking of lumps, I knew that I had a fluid filled cyst in each breast. Not my first rodeo. I have had SEVERAL needle aspirations since I tend to be prone to this condition. My doctor, however, is concerned that one of the masses doesn't feel like a cyst that he can drain so...off I will go on Wednesday to have another mammogram, followed by a sonogram. They will drain the one large cyst and if the other is, in fact, a cyst they will use the sonogram to guide the needle to the center of the cyst in order to drain it. Must say that I am not looking forward to this procedure though I am not worried about it either. At the same time that I am having my cyst procedure Ronnie will be undergoing a procedure to remove a basal cell carcinoma from his chin. Can I just say that it sucks to get old? But, it beats the hell out of the alternative. Anyhoo...as we step in to September there willl be some R & R. We will be heading out the middle of September for almost 2 weeks in Las Vegas and San Diego. We will be celebrating both Ryan and Rich's birthdays in Vegas. When they fly home we will go to a Hall & Oates concert before packing up and heading on to San Diego. Neither of us has ever been to the Pacific before so we'll stick our toes in the water just to say we did! After we return the crunch begins. It's Ronnie's birthday, Carter's birthday (g'son #2), my birthday, Thanksgiving and then ::insert scarey music:: Christmas! Shortly after Christmas we are expecting the birth of grandchild #3! Life is good!!! Till next time ~ Cheers!!
