Thanks given


The holiday was a blast, see I almost forgot to post about it, we had 5 people turn up for wine and food, music and parlor games. Ha! I guess you can call a boisterous game of dominoes and several rounds of catch phrase parlor games, right? Oh, the wine flowed and 2nds & 3rds were had by all, dessert ruled in all it's evil richness (cinnamon ice cream is the ultimate!), bellies were full and happy. I managed to only have 2 glasses of wine which had me feeling warm a little fuzzy and IN control. Always a good thing. Then everyone except Case left at around 6pm to go hit another T-Day celebration. About half n' hour later the 2 C's came back and called us asking if they could come back up - but of course m'dears!! Turns out they were "scolded" at the other gathering for being late when they had mentioned they wouldn't be there in time for dinner but for drinks afterwards. Big C was visibly upset when she re-arrived but was soon participating with the board games at hand. I hope we salvaged the night for them...they shouldn't have left in the first place, right? Live and learn, baybees!
Rafael and I had a blast, it was one of the best Thanksgivings ever!
C, TFK

Bullet Points of Lfe

  • Friday the 9th of Nov I do in for an ultrasound and endovaginal to see if they can find a reason for my wonky cycle
  • Dr. Hilbert calls me at home on Tuesday the 13th and tells me that I have 2 fibroids and a cyst
  • I call her office the next day and ask for a copy of the results; they arrive in the mail a couple of days later
  • I make an appointment with Dr. Moy for Nov 26 to discuss options. I'm surprise on how rapido I can get in!
  • I make an appointment with Dr. Jacoby (just in case) but I have to wait until Jan 18! The woman es muy popular!
  • In the me also antime I'm asking everyone about their experience(s) with fibes andTELLING anyone who will listen that I have them. Don't plan to internalize any of this news. OUT WITH YOU, OUT!
  • Also visualizing the fibes getting small, smaller, smallest...until they are gone!!
  • I'll keep y'all posted
Cee the FIBROID KILLER

The Fibroid Killer


That's my new title and I'm going to use it until my two recently diagnosed fibroids are history! I'm currently visualizing them getting smaller and smaller, so if you'd like to help just "think small" for me! Cee The Fibroid Killer (TFK)

IS that the bus...or...wtf???


Whooooo!! Cheryl and Carolyn were over to watch my show and about 5 minutes after it was done everything started rattling and rolling, at first we thought it was the bus but THEN the wine glasses started clinking louder and louder, and the movement was getting stronger and stronger! WE WERE HAVING AN EARTHQUAKE!! Just when it felt like it was calming down it became stronger still. Man! We jumped off the couches and just stood there for a second, then Carolyn headed downstairs to find their houseguest, Erin, who is MOVING to San Francisco in mere days. At the time of the shaking Rafael called saying he was on his way home and I'm telling him that we're in the middle of and earthquake. Of course he didn't feel anything because he was driving, but I managed to freak him out so he rushed home. I followed the 2 C's to their apartment and we had chocolate cookies. Chocolate helps after earthquakes as you know. Jerry came out into the hall to check on everyone and we checked on him, everyone was ok, just freaked out! No Helen though and I didn't want to knock on her door because surely she'd start talking about everything except the earthquake.
This was the biggest quake for the 2 C's hitting at a 5.6! Actually, any quake sends the heart racing even a 3.5 because you never know what's NEXT! Talk about spoooooky! After that it was a pretty quiet evening and surprisingly I managed to forget about it and have a decent night's sleep! I did have a major calf cramp this morning though, OU FUCKIN CHIE!!

We're having the Scaryaoke today at lunch time and the costume contest so it should be fun. One office is doing a CSI episode, I guess they're acting out a "Really bad day at the office." Oooh, can't wait. They're having performances at 10, 11:30, 1 and 3. Yeah, it's crazy!
It's truly a perfect morning for Halloween, fog is down to the ground and it's still pretty dark out there.

Electric Lash

Shortly after my visit to St. Mary's I'd been doing (and continue to do) some positive visualization and affirmations. I was slumbering in bed on Saturday or Sunday and in between sleep and consciousness I distinctly felt an electric lash touch the space of my third eye; I even heard the electric hum. My eyes flew open and I knew that this was significant. I told Rafael that if there was something inside me that had potential of doing me harm, it was now GONE! I continue with the healthy eating and the positive vibrations. Now to concentrate on getting Doc Hilbert to up my appointment to January instead of April. C'mon!

Jose Guadalupe Posada and...

The calavera above is by Jose Guadalupe Posada, Mexican artist born in the 19th Century. Fantastic artist. I'm lucky to have a rubber stamp with the Calavera Oaxaqueña, dulce!

Spooky, kinda creepy, but also has this great nostalgic feel...like those old, old cartoons from the 30's and 40's. I don't know who created this, but thank you.

More Travels, more shots!

If this strategy won't get the tourists in here, nothing will. Placerville, CA (once known as, yep, Hangtown!)








Museum at Sobon, ehm...a bung is a barrel. I know, I know it sounds dirty!








I was framed!
