Catching Up

Oh, I really haven't written much lately. I am so busy at school! I guess I don't even get the chance to form my thoughts for you all during the day, let along write them down, and once I get home I'm too bushed to think.

So it's Saturday. I had my liver ultrasounded this morning; it's a cyst. Since I've had it for a dozen years or more, it's clearly nothing. Then I went to acupuncture. Very interesting, hard to put into words. (Not painful at all. Very relaxing.) I'm going back Tuesday after school. I had gotten the name of this doctor from my Good Guy Nephew, and it turned out he had the appointment just before me, so I saw him there. And, sweetie that he is, when he was done, he waited for me to see how I was, and walked me to my car. I heart him.

I am very achy now, though, either from the acupuncture or from lying face down on the table, an awkward position for me. A little heat tonight and I'll be fine. I hope.

No big plans for tomorrow, unless getting ready for the accountant is big. Actually it is for me, since I have the filing non-system from hell. What I need to do is get all of last year's papers sorted, get rid of what I never needed to keep anyway, and get the numbers I need from what's left. Oh, and make an appointment with the accountant. Should be interesting this year, not to mention next.

Oh, I've given up on Zora Neale Hurston, but I'm reading Like Water for Chocolate, which I like very much. I've been in such a reading slump; if it wasn't trouble with my eyes, it was trouble finding a book that grabbed me. At least I've got that taken care of for now.

I'm gonna go put on my jammies now and get on that heating pad.
