flotsam and jetsam

This week went by far too fast. And it seemed far too busy. Yet when I try to think back on what happened, I’m not coming up with much. Hmmm…

• I visited an ear, nose, and throat specialist in the city. I’ve always had huge tonsils and battled with constant infections. Now that we have medical insurance, I figured I could/should look into what could be done about it. We discussed removing my tonsils, and all the wonderful side effects that could come with the surgery. For now, I was prescribed a 6-week course of penicillin: three pills a day. The doctor thinks it could help shrink my tonsils down a dress size or two.

• Off-and-on over the past year, I’ve watched Judging Amy. And this week, I watched the very last episode… of all six seasons. It was bittersweet to finish.

• A staff member and an intern both turned 21 this week. Parties ensued.

• I laughed a great deal over this:

Somehow… that’s all I’ve got. Shame.

   Ha- A dress size. Hehehe…
   I’m sad that your pills are not coated. That makes them the antithesis of fun, that’s for dang sure.

   I like that he wrote freakin’.

   I love you.

   I think you should do before and after photos of your tonsils.

   and I agree with natalie too! let’s see ‘em!!!!

   ok. so. when i was a freshman in college i drove a white car. had to park it under a tree.

   that spring, the birds decided they LOVED that tree. i woke up one morning and my car [NO LIE!] looked like a DALMATIAN.

   did i mention i was a FRESHMAN in college? i was absolutely totally 100 percent mortified to drive on campus for my EARLY morning class.

   mortified. i had to drive it around for decades before i could get a spot in my schedule for a scrub-down.

   tell your friend becca that she rocks. thanks for sending her to me!
