Good morning ~ up at 4:30 again today.  I feel rested and ready for the day.  So, what happened last week?
On Monday Buck thought he was having a stroke.  We went to Princeton's ER and they did a MRI, CT, and chest X-ray before sending us home with a diagnosis of possible TIA and check in with your primary care.  On Tuesday we went to his primary care doctor and they suggested a carotid check and some physical therapy.  On Wednesday we waited.... a woman came to "register" him for PT.  Thursday we went to his cardiologist ~ heart is fine, they did an EKG and a carotid check ~ BUT ~  he wants him to see a neurologist to determine WHY he had the TIA in the first place AND why he had head pain (doesn't usual happen with stroke).  On Friday a man came to "assess" his need for PT.  He is not going to NEED physical therapy by the time they get TO the physical therapy.  
Saturday was our 45th anniversary and we went to visit Lisa.  Had a nice long visit, played with the boys, and stopped at Wintzell's for dinner. So there you have it.  We are still waiting for the neurologist to call.
How was YOUR week?

Good morning!
It's a Monday and I was up at 4:30 this morning ~ what's up with that???  I've been trying to stay up later so I will sleep a little later ~ so far, not happening.
Let's talk holidays today....
Our holiday plans go about the same as any other day.  We don't decorate and we don't celebrate.  Done.  Buck is NOT a "festive" person and it's come to the point that I just don't have the energy to get excited for both of us.  We will see Lisa and her fam on Christmas Eve ~ a tradition that we like and probably Kim and her fam on Christmas Day.  Jennifer and her fam live in Colorado and I can't remember the last time they came to us for a holiday ~ those are spent with Arie's family.  That's okay ~ it's their tradition.  When I'm there for Emma's birthday in December we do a gift opening so I get to watch the girls "in person" and that's nice.  Buck doesn't go for Emma's birthday because I fly for that one and he doesn't fly.  I could drive but he doesn't want me getting snow bound half way there.
Let's see.... New Year's Ever ~ party time, right??  Not at our house, not since there are no girls for me to toast the new year with that want to stay up with Mom until midnight.
Pretty boring stuff going on around here.... 'til next week

Good morning ~ whatever time this is?  Is Daylight Savings Time in the Fall or Spring?  Whichever this is it started today.... and so am I.
Today starts hopefully (but we all know not) my last attempt to get in shape.  I would like to run my next 5k.... i think i can i think i can i think i can....
It's Sunday so we will be picking Mother up for worship and then on to lunch with some of the fam.  I will do laundry and Buck will "rest" until time for evening worship.  
I'm hoping to write down a few goals for myself and work on those EVERY DAY.  Who's with me????

Veteran’s Day in America Buck and Chuck were Navy Seabees,  Their dad was Navy Fleet.  Apparently VERY different.  Had to get some work done...
