Just Another Day in the Life - 5/3/07

Warren had his PET scan and CT scan today. They didn't finish the CT scan until 3:00 p.m. and he hadn't had anything to eat since last night! I brought along 2 chocolate Boost drinks and 2 chocolate chip cookies for him which he promptly scarfed down just to tide him over until we could get him something substantial to eat. I normally stay with him when he's having procedures done but I had a 12:00 appointment in Silver Spring, so this morning I dropped him off at the front door and went down the road to the Silver Diner and had breakfast. I don't know that I've ever gone out to breakfast by myself before. I got coffee, a western omelet and substituted fresh strawberries for the hash browned potatoes and biscuit. I felt like a real grown-up LOL.

We drove into our neighborhood on fumes so I stopped for gas which was $3.039 a gallon now. I'm so glad the price of gas is going up now that I have to drive to NIH 5 days a week. It cost me over $49 to fill the tank and that won't last a week. (I know, I know, I know...... quityourbitchinyou'retheonewhoboughtthejeep).

So who wants to hear about my "Weird Wednesday"? Ah, yes I can hear you all out there cheering me on (and I can hear the few of you saying..oh no, here she goes again). Anyway my son called me last night to tell me about a weird experience he'd had in an Italian restaurant yesterday evening so my brain was already tuned into the "strange" channel. I went to bed and closed my eyes and there was a young man sitting in a chair across from me who waved. So in my head I said "How are you today?" He disappeared but about 5 seconds later I heard (just like a person in a body speaking to me) someone say back to me "How are you today?" Now that was startling! A little later I heard a bird whistle once in the room as well. A little progress on the clairaudience front boys and girls. Aren't you glad you tuned in here tonight? I would love, love, love to write about my son's experience too, but I haven't asked his permission yet and he may want to do that himself. Let's just say, he's a lot like his Momma.

Tomorrow is an off day, but I will have to get groceries and do some housework. Yes even the weird people have housework. I have not found a way to get elves to take care of it while I sleep yet.

I know this post is a little nutty tonight...its just the mood I'm in. Have a great evening.
