I really despise my chaotic life sometimes.... Gram's dog Molly got out last night and she's still not home We were out until 11:30 last night looking for her and I'm about to go back out again.... this is the first time she's really taken off and left the neighborhood, I hope we find her soon!! I am a nervous wreck right now!!

So, can anyone explain to me, why is it when I say I'm going to do something for me, chaos tends to erupt around me and I don't get to do it????????? Should I just keep my mouth shut from now on.... I feel like I'm jinxing myself!!!

My only excuse for not making it last night is that I had a rough day with pain management yesterday and wasn’t fit for human company, too grouchy. Y’all would’ve thought somebody pirated my account and was doing a really bad impersonation of me, really! So, I did what I do when I’m in a bad mood. I cooked. Zucchini pancakes with apple sauce was dinner - YUM! it made me feel a little better.

I go to Cleveland Clinic one week from today to get my physical therapy plan and get that started and to start phase one of medication which is to be tested for compatibility with the planned meds and then the drug maker tries to convince insurance that they should cover it. It’s an approved drug, but it’s expensive, so insurance has to pre-approve before I can have it. You know, because the insurance company knows me so much better than my doctor.

We may be leaving for Cleveland the night before again, so no guarantee I’ll be at chat next week, but I’ll be back SOON! I’m still going to try to do the layout for last night.
