This has been a strange spring. It has been fairly cold. Unless it's been really hot. There have been very few "perfect" days where one doesn't need a coat or isn't sweating. I've hardly sat on the deck.
Usually one has a nice few weeks where there aren't yet a lot of bugs. This year they're out in force already. It has rained a lot. Today it absolutely poured whilst I was driving to my dermatology appointment. It was hard to see, and windy too.
I'm happy to report my skin check went fine. Doc Ava Feldman didn't see any pre-cancers this year. A first! I did ask her about the crusty bumps (non-cancerous). She told me she could take eight (8) off for a mere $200, but doesn't recommend doing that during summer as it's best not to have sun exposure after doing that. What a gal!
Last week I saw former Crestonite Sheryl Young ARNP for my annual physical. I like seeing Sheryl, she's very personable and knows my fam. She thought I seemed depressed!?! Not sure what that was about. Maybe I need a vacation...
Had my blood work drawn in Creston on Friday. That cheery woman did it. If you are from Creston, you know the one. She's anything but cheery. Talk about depressed. She's been reprimanded in the past due to her attitude. She wasn't bad this visit, just not cheery. That's okay. I don't like fake cheer either...
Mammogram is set up for the 24th. Tit in a wringer day definite won't make me cheery

Why do I live in Iowa?
It's days like today when I wonder just why I live here!?! Cold start after freezing mist, bad roads for my commute. I got up at my usual time and started working on my laptop at 6:30 a.m. Yep, I'm lucky I can do that! I had the news on, keeping my eye on road conditions.
It looked to be icy north, and it was supposed to get worse as the temp dropped. So about 7:30 I bolted. I drove across Highway 34 - the long route here, but it was green on the DOT map - not icy like the north route was. The roads looked wet, possibly slick but I didn't feel like I was sliding.
Unfortunately I got behind a nervous nellie driving 40. Doh! He wouldn't move over when we came to a passing zone. I couldn't help myself and did an over the shoulder bird flip when I finally had a chance to pass him! As I drove north on I35, I began to see a few snowflakes and by the time I was just south of the big city, it was snowing, windy and blowing. Okay, I'm officially tired of winter!
I got to work about 9:30 a.m. - just in time as the roads were really starting to get slick. It seemed like a long cold day at work, as the heat wasn't functioning properly. Did a bit of shopping after work and then headed to Joan's where the driveway was treacherous and icy. I had to be very careful unloading my bags. I parked behind Krissy on the right side, leaving room for Joan to get up the driveway and into the garage on the left side. But wasn't sure her 2 wheel drive Jeep would make it.
Went in to unpack and eat, and sure enough, a half hour or so after I got here, I could hear Joanie spinning in the driveway. Then our lil mild manner Joanie came stomping in through the garage dropping F-bombs and kicking off her boots. She was havin' a bad day, and getting stuck in the driveway didn't help. I quickly finished my food, and Krissy and I headed out to help Joan dig out and chop ice.
Did I mention how slick it was? Sure enough, 'ol clumsy managed to do a Charlie Brown falling on my butt and elbow. Lucky I was pretty well padded. Why me lord, why have I turned into the clumsy sister? And now poor Joan is embarrassed she snapped. I told her she's just human - I'm glad to know I'm not the only flawed character around here.
