And so the school year begins...

I have Monday off and then its back to business!  I was at school 3 days this week to speak at the parent orientations and make sure the library is ready to go.  I am all set, but boy my body, mind, and spirit, prefer to stay home...

At work:

Last weekend, we took a day trip to Iowa City/ Coralville area.  We found a beautiful River Walk trail that we want to try biking some time

I knocked Hurts Donuts off my list and BOY were they AMAZING!!!

We hit the mall and I spent way too much time in the book store!

AND Alayna got me this awesome shirt!

Alayna is repainting her room- I cant get the color right but its a beautiful vibrant coral!

Yoga, Meditation, and Self Care are my mantra now.  I am feeling better and stronger and it has helped my fibro tremendously!

So, much of my summer has been doctor appointments, new meds, trying to get me better.  This month both Bob and I got our colonoscopy's!  I had mine last week. I came out of recovery pretty quickly (10-15 minutes) and even walked out to the car!

Bob on the other hand...it took him an hour to come out of it and he was so funny I was dying!  Why didnt I tape it???

Bob coming in from procedure: "Oh they did a great job with the anesthesia"

Bob: Hey you want to storm the castle with me?
Me: You want me to storm a castle with you?!
Bob: Sure!!!

He asked about several times if the doctor came in.  When I told him it went fine but they have to do a further test, he said, "They better not charge me full price!!"

When I asked how he was feeling, he got all excited and said loudly, "I'm on TOP of the world!!!" and then fell asleep!

The nurse asked him what he wanted to drink- he said apple juice.  He kept looking at the juice and was fascinated they knew whta he wanted.  He kept saying, "How did they know I wanted to apple juice??"

Pretty funny guy!


Wish me luck this week!
