I am up at the crack of crack.
I have to be at the hospital by 6:10am for a cat scan appointment. I woke up at 4:44. Too early to even make coffee. I think I'm going to drive thru Starbucks on my way in.
Yesterday I spent 3 hours at the eye exam and had an EKG. Sometimes with all these appointments, I feel like the Bionic Man or something. I just wish that they could do all these tests in one day and get it over with. I'll just lay there naked and let them do whatever it is they want. Although according to my friend Susan, I would wake up and end up pregnant and covered in tattoos.
I went to Bunko last night. Dang those women are so fun. I had a good time. And the food - yum. Huge grilled shrimp and yogurt potato salad.
This sinus thing is bugging me. I'm 'kvetching.' I wake up totally congested and now have a near constant runny nose. Did you know this is because I have no nose hair? I feel like a first grader with little kid nose. They so need to give me something for this. Right now I think I'm ok because I'm mentally refusing to be sick, but I think I am. I'm the Queen of Phlegm. Ick.
Today I just have the cat scan and some lung capacity test. Too bad I have like hours between appointments.
Ok. Time to get dressed. Do they not know that I need sleep? Way more than I need a catscan of my brain.
I can do this. I may wake up with a tattoo on my butt, but I can do this.
Today your assignment is to make an appointment to get a physical. So many people don't ever get an annual physical anymore. But they really are important. Even if it's just for your peace of mind. Get an OBGYN appointment if you need one. A mammogram. Prostate exam, whatever. Then have a party when you get the good news. And if he says.. you need to lose weight, lower your cholesterol, well this year, how's about you actually doing something about it instead of just letting it slide for yet another year?
Take care of yourself before you are no longer able to. And make sure they make your appointment for later than the crack of crack!
P.S. Extra special love to Sis #2. People have been sending me all kinds of stuff (and thanks... seriously), but if you'd like to send something cool to Sis #2, that would be sweet. (the address is at the top of my page - just mark it for Sis #2 & they will know)
Since she's basically Zoe's mom by proxy for me. Which is huge. Ginourmous even. And she's an awesome sister. Since she's got 4 kids now under the age of 8, I don't get to see her as much. And this makes me blue. Because she always makes me laugh until I snort.
*hugs to Sis #2 today*
P.S.S. Thanks Sally for the itunes gift certificate. I am going to hookup with my bro in law #1 so he can help me with my ipod - since he's Mr. Ipod and all. I'm so excited.
Posted by debutaunt at February 10, 2006 05:09 AMGood morning, sweetie!
You can do this. One step at a time.
Go for a Smiley Face Tattoo on your butt, with "Have a nice day" underneath. How fun would that be? ;)
Posted by: CircusKelli at February 10, 2006 08:20 AMWell if you're going to end up with a tatoo, why not be proactive and mark the spot you want it with a sharpie before you leave?! Perhaps a list of suggestions about what wouldn't be too objectionable as well???
You are doing a great job sweetie! I think of you every day.
Peace.
Posted by: Traci at February 10, 2006 08:28 AMDo they have a loch in kop? That is your yiddish
prhase today-which means a hole in their head.
Tell them you are the one and only Debutante-you
don't do crack of dawn appts.
If you go with a "tattoo" it better be piece
of candy.
I think we should conduct a vote on your site.
How many times has Paris Hilton been poked?
My guess would be at least 60.
Love,
Shoshie
I cannot wait to see your tattoo.
Posted by: Kami at February 10, 2006 09:38 AMSuitable butt tattoo: "Sis #2 Rocks"
Posted by: D at February 10, 2006 11:58 AMWell, I suppose waking up with a tattoo would be better than waking up pregnant. Maybe take a list of approved tattoos with you, just to make sure you don't wake up with one that says "I *heart* Bubba" or something like that
Posted by: Crazy Lady at February 10, 2006 12:40 PMJust say no to any tatto :) You should know by
now they schedule appts. far apart because they
love you-they want you around for laughs.
Crack of crack now that is very funny. I may use
that line myself. But if I use it people may
think I am on crack and we know that would not
be good.
You are amazing your humor will prevail. You
could be Sarah's twin!

Posted by: Nikki at February 10, 2006 03:12 PMWave to my husband. He is reading this particular
post and he is laughing very hard. He said and
I am quoting "She could be on SNL".
My husband could be your new #1 fan. His name
is Sam, he can't post as a "sister". Well actually that is his middle name. You do not
ever want to know his first name. Oh now I am
getting jabbed.
We hope you got a nap in today.
Love
Shoshie and Sam
I always said it's the ass-crack of dawn... but since I now have friends named Dawn, it isn't as funny anymore.
You, madame Deb, are hilarious!! I could send you my puppy with the needle teeth to bite medical personnel when they stick you with more needles. If nothing else, he could distract them and you could make a get-away. It's a thought...
Right now I'm sending you energy from my three-year-old. He's got more than he needs, and you could use the extra, so here you go. Hugs!
Posted by: eclectic at February 10, 2006 06:29 PMI hope you are sleeping. Shame on them for making
you get up at the crack of crack.
I too was IPOD challenged and my husband set mine
up for me. I now love to clean thanks to my Ipod.
OY I see you have not yet banned Shoshie from
here and now she brings Sam. Those two spell
Trouble Deb. Have her tell you how she used
to tie my shoes together when I was about 5.
Love,
Lisabeth
I second what Deb said regarding seeing your
doctor.
HI to all Deb's family
Posted by: Lisabeth at February 10, 2006 07:57 PMI guess the crack of crack is sleeping or
looking at her tattoo. I wonder what that
tattoo says? OH hell it's only 7am in HELLO
HOUSTON.
