Okay, so it's only the second day of the "blog-a-day" month and I'm already at a slight loss of words. I'm not supposed to only give a personal account of what is happening in my life, as Scott says that one of the rules is that you can't just give a run down of your days. But, right now, my little bubble is all I know. I'm a bit out of touch as to what is happening in the world. That's not a good thing necessarily, but it's my life at the moment.
I had a doctor appointment today. It went well overall. My main reason for going was to have my blood pressure checked, as I switched medications this summer and we needed to give it a little time to see if it was working. Luckily for me, it is working. My doctor said my blood pressure was perfect. She asked me how I was feeling overall and I said that I was feeling really great...with one exception...my feet have been hurting for a while now. They get really stiff when I've been off of them for a while. When I get up in the morning, I'm really stiff and sore. When I've been sitting on the couch for a while and I get up, they're really stiff and sore. I have to get some routine blood work done in the next few days anyway to make sure my thyroid and triglycerides are still on track, so they're also going to test me for Rheumatoid Arthritis. If I don't test positive for that, she said it is probably that I'm overdoing it. With the schedule I'm keeping right now, I wouldn't be surprised.
Some random thoughts that I had today:
It rained. I love the rain and the dark clouds and the feeling that winter is not too far off.
I love my husband. He's the bestest. He takes care of me and supports me and has my dinner ready for me when I come home every night. I can't wait to see him as a daddy.
My parents got a new puppy today. He's an 8 week old apricot-colored toy poodle. Pretty stinkin' cute. I can't wait to meet him!
I'm grateful to have friends that care enough about all of my ramblings to read my blog, even if they don't comment...I'm looking at you, Anita! ***waves***
I'm seeing "Religulous" this weekend with Lance. I CANNOT WAIT!!!
If Sarah Palin said the word "maverick" ONE more time during the debate tonight.....
Why do people choose to use the bathroom stall RIGHT next to mine when every single other stall in the bathroom is free? I don't get it.
I rose above today. Yes I did. I don't like balloons. Not at all. Not under any circumstances. They make loud noises when they pop and the sound of someone rubbing their fingers on them makes all the hair stand up on my body. I can literally feel my heart racing in my chest. Yet today, I found myself about a foot away from a balloon for about a 2 minute walk back to my classroom. I made it and I didn't freak out. I will conquer my irrational fear of balloons!
Okay...that's enough thinking for tonight.

Yay!! Kirsti's blogging again!!
I have a weird feeling around balloons like one is going to pop and scare the pee out of me. Most likely because it has happened before.
Sometimes if I'm in one of those party stores I watch the clerks filling up the helium balloons and I wonder how they cope with the stress of knowing one could pop at any moment.
I hope your feet feel better!
Oh, we're going to see Religulous, too!
Oh my gosh...I can NEVER walk by people blowing up balloons. I get so stressed out. I avoid it at all costs!
I can't wait to see this movie! I've been looking forward to it for a long time now.
Kirsti, do you know what irritates me about balloons? That people don't think about what happens to them after they let them go off into the sky. Do they disintegrate? Nooooo, they end up on the forrest floors and in the ocean and in rivers and fish swallow them and and and.
