cleaning and packing and moving, ow aiee

Got loads done today. Over to Mom's by 9:15. Got the twin bed out of my room-to-be, put the new rug down,

New rug for old room


vacuumed everything, moved hallway stuff into another room, put twin bed into office and made it up as a day bed, washed hallway floors, returned cans/bottles, did recycling at the city yard, had a quick lunch at Subway, then over to my place for a full car load. Put everything away at Mom's, so shoes are in the closet door shoe holder thingie, DVDs are all away alpha in their bookcase, office stuff is put on the other shelves, linens are in the hope chest, empty boxes are all back at the old place. Tomorrow I work from home, so maybe in between assignments I can get more done. Let's hope! The end is in sight, anyway.

Had my MRI this afternoon. Wasn't bad! I am soo soooooo claustrophobic, but I got the open MRI (which in this case the tube has a much wider circumference and is much shorter overall) and they gave me a sleep mask, plus I took some ativan, so honestly I was pretty comfy for the most part. My muscles were starting to get really stiff from my day's activity, so I kept needing to move them. 50 minutes of lying perfectly still is a really long time! Plus they did a contrast, so they hauled me out at one point, stuck something cold in my arm, and then shoved me back in. P took me, because he's awesome. That way I could dope up and not drive! Anyway, glad it's over. Here's hoping they say "Laurie, you have a really unusual ear infection, one that isn't visible and doesn't react to our other tests. Good thing you came in! We're giving you three days of antibiotics and then you'll be fine and dandy and chirp-free." That would rule.

They will probably say there is nothing on the MRI scans at all, and it's tinnitus, and you just have to learn to deal with it. To that I say, CHIRP! CHIRPCHIRP! CHIRP!
