creepy crawlers

 yeah yeah, cute and innocent til it jumps on you in the wild!!

well, hello slimy creature. whatcha got there?

fear realized

hi,

that's me.

hiking through-  places.

when we fell upon these, erm, fake 

coffins.

Yeah...

so I didn't know that I would get as creeped out as i was...

until...

this moment, when my husband told me to jump in and i had to stick one-crock-ed foot out for peace of mind.

that's not a smile on my face. that's stone cold fear.

scared?

where'd you get those peepers?

hello, big disgusting bug that almost jumped on my face!

thank you for awakening yet another phobia in me, because i didn't have enough issues!

october. creepy= bugs. eew.

anyone ever seen a creeper like this guy?

love me,
the globetrotting gamine

yesterday...

the past two days, after my last post had been trying and mostly horrible (other than endless support from family and friends)...

after finding something in my neck sonogram, i was panicked that there was something horrible wrong with me...the doctors couldn't figure out what it was so i was told to schedule a cat scan.

so i cried...all morning two days ago, all night between LML and puppy squeezes and had barely slept. i was led into the catscan room, with LML waiting in the sub-waiting room early yesterday morning.

i bawled like a baby about the iv drip and what's wrong with my neck?
i bawled some more when the cat-scan doc handed me a tissue.
i got stuck with a saline iv drip and then my cat scan began.

at first, i thought i was getting ready for lift off with that whirring noise from the spinning stuff inside the donut.

hold your breath.

breathe.

hold your breath.

breathe,

said the cat-scan dude.

he finally said, 2 more minutes...

and at that exact moment, i felt my whole body burn up

and then i thought i peed myself-

a side effect that cat scan dude did NOT tell me about.

then he told me he forgot to tell me an absolutely normal, as i was checking my pants.

LML took me shopping and for lunch.

shopped some more, came home...took a shower while he smoked a cigar in the backyard...

right when i step out of the shower, phone call from the doctor.

i have nothing bad!

NOTHING

NOTHING...

i did a dance with puppy...

jumped on LML when he walked through the door...

and i still haven't slept, possibly from joy.

so i wanted to thank everyone, for calling and listening,

and your thoughtful e-mails...

i know i would have made it through anything

because you guys have my back :)

love me,

the globetrotting [sleepy] gamine
