So, yay for Friday, except my face feels like exploding. I have a prescription I just haven't filled it. Bad me. I'll do that today at lunch. So, we met up last night with our friend from Italy. Well, she isn't from Italy, she's from NY but we knew her from our time in Italy. I was talking to my sister about Italy yesterday. I can't watch stuff on TV without crying when I see stuff that takes place in Italy. It is like I left a part of my soul there. I don't know what it is about it. I don't feel that way about any other place. She thinks it is because that was the first place I was truly happy after being sick in high school and then just trying to find my place in life, or maybe it was just the first place that Derek and I called home. Maybe that's what it is, but I think it really is the place. It is just a part of me. I can't explain it. Anyway...
I am starving today. I forgot, or ran out of time and didn't eat breakfast. Lame. Need to eat something. Maybe some soup. I'll have to hop over to the grocery store and see. Then I'll put in a prescription while i'm at it.
Okay, so I am the WORST friend ever. A friend of mine just recently returned from Iraq as a civilian contractor for some medical appointments. While getting everything checked out she mentioned she had some swelling in her leg so they did a bunch of blood work and found that she had think blood and they were worried about blood clots. She's probably going to need a surgery to put a filter near her heart and they have her on injectable blood thinners. So, what do I do?? I start laughing. Not just a nervous giggle, but all out hysterical laughing. WTH?? What is wrong with this picture. Thankfully she knows me very well and knew I didn't really think her situation was funny, I just couldn't do anything else I think. It was weird and made me feel horrible. So, if any of you ever tell me you have a life threatening condition and you could die from it and I start laughing...I swear I don't think it is funny and yes, I might just be crazy. Ugh!! It was horrible. Now in all honesty, when she was telling me about the filter they'd put near her heart I was imaging a butterfly net catching bad things and that was a bit of a silly picture in my head but not hysterically funny. I mean, come on!!
Well, I am off. I've been apartment hunting today. trying to find something not in the city but not too far of a drive. Not knowing the area makes it hard. Hopefully next week Derek will be able to set some days aside that we can send him to NC to find us a place. I found some cool places that could work. It is nice to have a list. Well, I'm off to get some lunch. I hope I get some people to visit with soon. Ciao everyone!!
