1. I had lunch with Zoey at The Big Skinny.
When I picked up Zoey from my friend Autumn's house, Zoey was very sad. We decided lunch at The Big Skinny was just the cure for "having the worst-est day ever"! When we pulled into the parking lot, I realized I had left my purse at work. We had to drive all the way back to Saegertown to get my purse. It worked out well, though, because when we went back to work, Alisha invited Zoey to spend the night with her daughter, Aubrey. Zoey loves Aubrey, and was very excited! While having lunch, some friends who were walking stopped in to say hi. Not only was it a nice meal, but having time with my daughter was wonderful. I hope that Zoey and I can continue to do this type of bonding. Since she will be going to Kindergarten in the fall, she won't be able to have lunch with me during the week. I have to get my "Zoey fix" now.
2. I got a hair cut at Tina's.
Lately, it's been a bit of a challenge making plans, like getting a hair cut. Between doctor appointments, work, getting kids to and from babysitters, preparing meals, and having less money than usual, getting a haircut has been at the bottom of my priority list. Kerry, my friend, has been doing my hair, but she moved to a salon in Erie. I used to go to Tina all the time, so it was refreshing to get to see her. She was very excited to see me. It was nice to get to catch up with her.
3. I had a great doctor's appointment with Dr. Wismer.
I was really dreading the possibility that since I'm still getting acid reflux, even though I'm taking medication daily, that I would have severe repercussions. I was so relieved to learn more about my condition, especially that the medication that I am taking is helping me, and that the acid reflux may be uncomfortable, but isn't necessarily as detrimental to my health as I had before thought. Since I've got Barrett's Esophagus, the tissue in the lining of my esophagus is changing, and therefore, replaced with pre-cancerous cells. So, every time I get a little bit of pain, I literally panic. And, after yesterday's appointment, I know now that I don't have to panic.
