Garminless In Virginia

Hey everyone! I posted earlier today, because like I said in that post, I get a lot of questions about my problems. If you looked at it, hope it helped you and if you didn't look at it-what are you doing reading this? Go back, now! Joking :)
You should probably sit down for this...we stopped hotel hopping. I know, I know. Go back and read it again if you must, but it's true! We will be staying at the Aloft hotel in Glen Allen, Virginia then we check out next Wednesday so we can be at a hotel closer to the hospital. We can actually unpack! *choir of angles singing in the background* The only sad thing is this hotel doesn't have Bravo. No Real Housewives of New Jersey, no Real Housewives of New York, and no Real Housewives of Orange County! It's torture! We're surviving though because they at least have TLC and Lifetime (hello Dance Moms!), plus we can always download episodes onto iTunes.
When Dad left today (he's going home then coming back pre-surgery) he took the Garmin with him. The Garmin is our navigation system. It is the best thing ever, without it we'd be lost. Since Mom and I are without it, well lets just say it's been interesting. We've been using her iPhone maps thingy....it is worth nothing! If I - The Great Navigator as my Dad deemed me - can't figure it out, that tells you something. It's okay though because Mom and I have lots of fun getting lost. We blast the music, scream at each other to turn it down so the other can navigate, then when we get to our destination-the correct one-we grab hands and cheer and scream like the psychos we are. It's like Mom says, it's the little things in life. Love ya Mommy.
My MRI went well, I did not have a panic attack-whoo hoo! It was pretty short since it was only my lower back, unfortunately my whole body (head too) was in the machine  (doesn't help with the panicking!), but it went well. I counted to 10 repeatedly, then when I got bored with that I moved on to 8, then finally tried saying the alphabet in my head in time with the MRI beep, beep, beeping. It was surprisingly hard since the beeps go really fast and there's other beeps going on at the same time as the beeps I was trying to follow. Wow, that was confusing.
Tomorrow I'm seeing the hematologist (blood doctor) and hoping that will go well!

Dad: if you're reading this-I love you and miss you! Give the dogs a pet for me and please let Nala sleep on the bed with you tonight, pretty please? Have a safe flight, hopefully it's taken off by now. Hugs!

  1. OH No! You seriously watch the Real Housewives???! I couldn't believe last year when I went to Christmas at my grandmas house I found her and her sister in their lazy boys talking at the TV like they were a part of the show. Do you know what they were watching? Real Housewives! She is a pastors wife! Totally out of character - I didn't see that coming. I still don't get that show. Lol.. I guess I have my poison, too.. Desperate Housewives. Aye!
