OMGWTF Weather! and various other sundry items

[chickwriter]

I'm in t-shirt sleeves, because the temps here today are in the mid-to-high 60s. OTOH, my folks in San Antonio are suffering from a cold front, which dropped their temps to below freezing. Jeebus!

I'm at work, because we're staggering our winter holidays - with half the company here today, and the other half on President's Day. It's fairly unstressful, because many of our clients are not working. I like it like this. :)

In a bit, I go to get an MRI on my left shoulder. It's been paining me for quite some time and I finally went to the doc about a week and a half ago. I did the Xray fine, but when I tried the regular closed MRI, I absolutely lost it. Evidently, I'm extremely claustrophobic. My appointment is with an open MRI place near Shirlington. Wish me luck. :)

Rome: wasn't built in a day, and OMG it's making me have to go get HBO again. I was going to keep my cable service at minimum digital, but noooo, only takes one episode of Rome and the subsequent fannish squee to make me want to order it again*. Seems like Comcast ordering department is taking the holiday, so I won't be able to upgrade until tomorrow. Thank goodness for On-Demand. I did, however, order the DVD set for Season 1.

* Of course, re-ordering HBO has absolutely nothing to do with astolat writing Vince/Eric...nope, not at all...

I had no intention of getting HBO just for Rome I had planned to months ago, but when the holiday bills came in, and muskratjamboree came up, and I realized I had to put the max into my ROTH IRA, I realized it was completely irresponsible of me to pay even more on top of my FiOS service.

Until about 15 minutes to 9 last night, when I caved under the duress of missing the premiere, and I'm fine with eating Ramen noodles for the next three months, really I am. *g*

OMG It's so warm out I nearly flopped over walking home. All my lovely winter sweaters never seeing the light of day!!

I KNOW what you mean. If it hadn't been for the fact that I was half asleep on pain meds at that time, I'd have probably called Comcast right then.

We are SUCH fangrrls.

You're welcome...and thanks!

MRI was actually not too bad. Now it's just waiting to hear the results.

Oh, my dear, I'm sorry the MRI was traumatic for you. I've been thanking my lucky stars that I'm apparently not claustrophobic in the last. *wry grin* Needles, now, those I can live without -- but enclosed spaces, no huhu.

Wishing you luck, anyway!

Hee - needles vs. enclosed spaces - I think I'd go for needles.

MRI with the open MRI machine was actually fairly okay, thanks!

And luck back atcha!

And here I thought moving to South Texas would get me out of the cold. Was it only Saturday I was griping about it being too warm for January? I take it all back! Good luck with your shoulder, sweetie.

The weather is just INSANE!!

Thanks for the good wishes. Turns out the open MRI is really not too bad. Now, I just sit and wait for results.
