getting up before dawn and birthday wishes

happy belated birthday to married_n_mich and an early birthday to roguewords. hope you ladies have a good day.

As for me, getting up before dawn blows. There is no good in it. I had to get up way early to be at the hospital before 8 to drink my 12 oz berry (yeah right) barium shake. Blech. It is hard to get that down without puking. And I didn't get it right away. I had to go demand it like after 20 minutes. dudes, I need to have an hour for it to go through my digestive tract. Finally, barium in place, heplock put into my arm, I'm shoved into the CT scan

and my bad arm can't go above my head. It's gotten that bad. we rest it against the CT machine. It was funny last night I told evil little dog i had a date and she was like OOOO REALLY? Yeah with a CT scanner. Oh. Hey i get to lie down and take my pants off for something. This is as close as I'm coming. It'll be awhile before i find out if the adrenal tumor has grown any.

while waiting on all of this i was reading the poisoner's handbook and it is so good. non-fiction that reads like fiction with people i wish i could have known.makes me want to do Jazz age NYC stories

One of my friends got their tenure today. we went out and celebrated.
