Such great advice, y’all! Thank you so much for your help! I think I will see if she keeps doing it, then talk to her about it; she’s really nice, so I’m positive it will work out. I think the comment from my random coworker caused a bit of an unintended stir, however! Let me just reassure you, it was an inside joke – I certainly was not planning on going to the First Shirt at all with this, and he…I mean “the person” wasn’t being serious with that advice. I tend to stay as far away from our Shirt as possible, actually – I don’t quite have the amount of disdain for him as my “random coworkers”, but…let me put it this way: he likes to say things like “Oh you girls, all you like to do is shop and complain!” which – I mean, I know at least he’s not talking about me, because I never complain! (just kidding)

So, an update: remember when I told you I was referred to a neurologist for my leg issues? I’m still waiting for that to come through. I called today and they said it takes about 3-4 weeks to get an appointment, and doesn’t that seem silly to you? You would think that if one is referred to a neurologist, that some sort of hurry-upness would be in order, right? Because, I mean, what if while you are waiting, the problem becomes less of a temporary inconvenience and more of a permanent damage thing? Now, I was waiting to write about my leg issue-issues, until I saw the neurologist, but for the sake of keeping everyone completely up to date with my life, I will just go ahead and tell you now. And before you get worried, MOM, the doctor has already ruled out blood clots. So: constant pins and needles/burning in my left calf calve…lower leg and foot, swelling, pain behind my knee, and at times, it is painful to even MOVE my ankle. Weird, huh? I mean, there are a few more things going on in addition to those, but that’s it in a nutshell for ya. I don’t think that there is anything horribly wrong with me, but it is an annoyance, and it’s been going on for almost 4 weeks now - I would just like to know what the deal is. Fortunately, it doesn’t impede me in any way, really – unless my ankle is hurting, it is basically just like having a leg and foot that is constantly on the verge of waking up, from being asleep. Okay, well, the swelling is not my favorite thing. I mean, you guys, the first time it happened, my lower leg swelled up almost TWO INCHES. THAT needs to hurry up and stop before the shorts season starts, or else my nickname will be elephantitis girl. Um, no offense to anyone that has elephantitis. Speaking of shorts season, I honestly don’t think it will EVER GET HERE – and I am tired of being chilly. Wearing a coat is so bothersome to me - I hate layering. You can only imagine how much I did not appreciate it this past December, when we got 73 inches of snow in 11 days. 73 inches of snow = too.many.layers. It made me cranky. If I have to deal with layers, I want them to be chocolate flavored, and covered in frosting.

Well, the 27^th is a special day for a couple of reasons: first, a March Birthday Shout out to my sister in law Christy, who is a lot like John – she has the knack to make people happy just by being there. Right now she’s got a little sprout in her belly – she and Brian are expecting a boy in May, and awww that is happy news, for sure, because the best babies are the ones you can spoil horribly and then give back when they start crying, and I am looking forward to doing that. Happy Birthday, CV! Love you! In addition, Toni and Ira are celebrating their 12^th anniversary, and I have to say, Ira has the patience of an ox, to have lasted it out this long. JUST KIDDING, I love my sister, AND her husband, and I wish them many more years of happiness! Happy Anniversary, you guys!

Before I go, I want to show you a blurry picture:

Happy.

CIAO!
