Is "cleaning" some kind of euphemism for playing hide the sausage?

One of the posts had a LinkedIn link in it.

I *always* try and remind these little renegades that one day they will shave off the facial hair and be unpleasantly surprised - where did the years go?!
Let's hope it doesn't happen here.

Got a Dr's appointment this morning at 10 for lab work.

Guess they'll draw blood and urine. Gotta take a poo sample in too.

Just finished collecting that. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it since I didn't really have to go. Was barely able to force out a couple of nuggets. Just enough to get a little bit on the TP to scrape off with the little wooden stick and transfer onto the sample card.

What sucks is that I have to be fasting until after it's all done, so I probably won't be able to eat until around lunchtime!!!!

I'm gonna be starving by then!!!!

Well, I went in for my 10 o'clock appointment this morning.

Figured I'd have a tough time getting a parking space so I got there about 8:20. Sure enough, all the parking spaces in front of the office were filled up. Figured I have to sit there at one end of the lot and wait for someone to come out, get in their car and leave.

So I drive back down to one end of the lot and I see across the side street, a huge, fenced in dirt and gravel parking lot with a No Parking sign on the fence. Just so happened an employee was walking nearby so I asked her if that was patient parking.

Yep. It sure was.

Awesome!!! Better yet, I found a shady spot under a tree!!!

I go inside and sign in at 8:30, then sit in the waiting room for 90 minutes. A few minutes after 10, the little pager they give you at sign in, goes off. I go in, the guy draws some blood and I'm done.

Whole thing took 15 minutes. I could have walked in at 9:45 and still been there in plenty of time.

Oh well.

The worst part was not being able to eat until 11:00 am.

I was damned tempted!!!!

There's an Arby's right on the way home, too.

But instead, I stopped by Walmart Neighborhood Market and picked up a few groceries.

Got home and had what I usually have for breakfast.

Should have treated yourself to a smokehouse brisket Sammy from Arby's, even if the Dr says "NO!". They are sinfully delicious.

If that ain't enough you could always try the roast beef sandwich! As the sign in Waterbury used to say "Arby's roast beef sandwich is delicious!"

I love Arby's!!!!

Just can't eat a lot of fast food anymore.

One of the many wonders and joys of advancing age...

I love it when fresh sweet corn is in season, I bought some more today.

I buy these half sticks of real butter, peel back the paper and rub it on the ear. Tongue

I know, it sounds almost obscene. But wait! I still have to sprinkle some salt!

It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Except that those darn texting drivers still have to look up to see them...  Wink
 
Had a lightning strike yesterday.  Fished pieces of palm tree bark out of the pool (it's like 50+ feet away), and noticed the tall papaya tree near the palm is drooping all it's leaves (apparently due to the heat flash from the strike, which pretty much cooked the tree.)  At least it didn't hit the house...  Thumbs Up

Went to the doctor this morning for the follow up visit re: last week's lab results.

Mostly good news!!!

Cholesterol not bad, triglycerides a little high but not terrible. HDL and LDL levels OK. A1C blood glucose slightly high but not too bad.

The two things I was most worried about PSA level (prostate) and fecal occult (colon) were both negative.

Thank God!!!!

The only bit of less than good news was that my EKG showed some irregularity. She said it looks like my left ventricle is working too hard, so she's sending me to see a cardiologist.

Other than that, big relief!!!

I'm hoping it's not serious enough to treat.

Just tell me to get more exercise or something.

I have watched WNN (World News Now) on ABC since they began broadcasting it.
Early morning news that starts here in the central time zone at 2:30 in the AM.

Many of the great news people started at this job in the early morning in NYC.
Some of the people, you could tell, just didn't want to be there.

These two...I love them. What great chemistry! They are very bright, witty and sometimes naughty.
They are a great team and they make my morning.
