T-MINUS 45 HOURS AND I'M OUTTA HERE

Oh my goodness, already more than half way through this stinking mess. In approximately 45 more hours, I'll be back home with my sweet Colby boy, where I belong! Just in time to unpack and get organized for our trip to Cincy on Wednesday to get Colby's bone cyst examined. Then on Thursday I go for a body scan to make sure there are no more silly cancer cells running around in my neck/lymph nodes. Yeah, going to be a great week, don't you think? Next weekend Colby and I are doing nothing except spending time together. I'm thinking a long weekend of staying in our pj's, together watching some Spongebob for him and some basketball for me. Heck, I may just let him sleep with Mama in her big bed for a couple of nights so we can catch up on snuggle time.

Actually I'm surprised at how quickly the time is passing. I brought all our dirty laundry from home and have done 4 loads so far. I have to wash my stuff separately during these 5 days, such a pain in the butt. Yesterday I spent probably 4 hours going through a huge bin of pictures. Wow, you talk about a stroll down Memory Lane. I found photos from college, former co-workers, vacations, both husbands (yes, there have been 2), and tons and tons of pics of various family and friends. I was able to greatly reduce the pile and for that I'm grateful, although more organizing is needed. Not much in the mood to do it now. Just couldn't bring myself to look through my wedding pictures. Even after all this time, it still hurts to know that ended being a total bust. It's funny because in the last couple decades I have been through every hairstyle imaginable. Short, really short, long, really long, wavy, spiky, straight, blond, really blond, brunette, you name it, I've had it. Been every size, too, chunky, really chunky, fat, thin, thinner, pregnant, and everything in between.

One of my bestest buddies brought me Pizza King yesterday. She knows me all too well! OMG, it's the best! Pizza King rocks! It was the perfect way to celebrate being finished with this stupid low thyroid diet. I'm thinking why not, just might have to get me some more on the way home Tuesday. Also got a quick visit from my sister-in-law and niece. Contact with the outside world, how nice!

So far today I've read some of my book, done laundry, Skyped with Colby, made cookies, talked on the phone, and now I'm blogging. Hmmm, what else can I do to pass some time? IDK. Let's face it, I suck with down time, mainly because I don't get a lot of it. Think I'll open one of my puzzles. Or maybe I'll try to take a nap. I think late tonight I'll run to the store, when it's practically empty, and grab just a couple of things I need. I'll go through the U-Scan to be certain I stay way far away from people. Geez, this 6-feet of distance rule is starting to give me a complex.

Colby is doing better I hear. Starting to take some 15 to 30-minute breaks off his bi-pap. I'm ready to get home and check him out for myself. Like I said, I know everyone is trying their best to take good care of him, and I'm sure they are. But nobody knows that kid better than I do, and I can't wait to see him. Tuesday afternoon can't come soon enough!

Well, I don't have a darn thing else to report. Guess if anything else exciting happens, like I make myself a sandwich, I'll be sure to let you know about it. Bye for now.
