No more monkeys jumping on the bed.

It is icy cold outside, -4 right now. Yikes! Stephen actually had to wear a jacket today and the car coughed and sputtered before it started. Our windows must not be well insulated because we had ice on the inside of our sill. Howie and Zoe spent some time at our bedroom window this morning, but did not take advantage of the perfect popsicle. If I was a cat, I would sure take a few licks!

We arrived at the clinic ten minutes early and went to the window to receive our paper work. The receptionist informed us our appt was yesterday. I was not a happy camper. I had double-checked twice over the phone when I made the appt, and I was very very careful to write down the right day. It was the clinic's fault, not mine, but I had to control my boiling consternation because there was no point arguing whose fault it was. They were more than gracious to make room for us, so it worked out fine in the end.

So Stephen's bp is still a bit high, but much lower than it was! Yes! He is on water pills and will go back in 6 weeks to see where he's at. 

The doc took a look at the red rash on my elbow and was baffled. She promptly wrote a referral to an area dermatologist and believes a biopsy is in order. 

I gave a urine sample for the pt, and it was negative, so I have a week's worth of Provera to get me going again. I took the first pill tonight, but began having second thoughts... it just didn't sit quite right in me. The ladies on this PCOS board that I frequent are wonderful to talk to about the emotions, processes, and problems with this disease, and when I shared this month's cycle, they recommended I wait. Even though the chance is slim, I still might be pregnant due to a late ovulation and the stick hasn't picked it up yet. So... I'm waiting another week or so and retesting. It feels a bit excessive and silly, but I'd much rather be safe than sorry. **sigh** my body is quite frustrating at times.

Luke and Kim will be coming over tomorrow night for a weekend visit! I am so excited to see them, it has been so long!! Stephen mentioned something about us going and seeing Mall Cop (is that what it's called??) with what's-his-face--- Kevin James. Maybe we'll even pull Guitar Hero out too, for old times sake. We've had problems with the toilet in the guest bathroom slowly regurgitating its contents after a flush, so our maintenance guy came by today and snaked it... we'll find out this weekend if the problem is resolved! ;-)
