Tuesdays with Nancy

So when we last left Monablog, the computer was on the fritz again and Roy contemplating what to do about it. He took it back to Micro Center. Sunday night they called to let him know we have a bad motherboard. Shut your mouth. I'm talking about Shaft... Oh sorry, Isac Hayes just came into my mind with the theme from the movie Shaft, made a long time ago in the 70's. So, the lap top is going back to HP and will return in 10 to 15 days.

Today was my 2 week trip to see the cardiologist. Good news/bad news...first the good news. I have lost 31 pounds since September 11. My blood pressure is 120/70 which means I am tolerating the meds well. My ankles are now just that, ankles not chankles. Bad news, which isn't really bad news although he would like my heart beat really to be more stabilized before doing this. He is moving up the timing on the nuclear stress test. That will happen on the 21st. I am having pain, shortness of breath and anxiety when I find myself in certain stressful situations. I told him it is not the big stuff that upsets me, I remain calm, it is the little bitty, tiny, small stuff that really gets to me. Like Roy pouring fabric softener right into the water when he washed some clothes... it shouldn't bother me, but it does.... fortunately, nothing was ruined or stained. See, that is really small... I should be so happy he is willing to help with the laundry and he made that mistake on his clothes not mine... see little, petty. The second thing I learned today was still no strenuous exercise, housework, cooking, and Linda S you might be the only one who picks up on this, no celebrating holidays yet.

Now, I could get very used to my work schedule. I am working about 2 to 2 and a half hours a day. In the afternoon when I am home, I am taking about an hour to two hour nap. Getting a lot of reading in and actually have had time to write some notes.

This is quarter close for Roy and he is putting in a lot of hours. I hope tonight is the last of these long days. He didn't get home until 1:00 am last night. He had his whole staff working trying to get things closed out. He even went into the office on Sunday which is something he really tries not to do.

OK, I am really trying hard to think of something funny, but you know when you are sleeping a lot, you miss out on a lot. Roy did say the other day, I wonder if casserole lady knows how close I came to loosing you. It does make me want to say something to her, but she might totally stress me out and then she wouldn't even have to make a plan or she would hide behind doors and yell surprise at me when I came home.

Well that is all the news and the happenings for now.
