Fill Appt & Other Stuff

What a hectic week at work!  None too happy about it.  It has seriously interfered with my blogging time... darn employment. 

I have an appointment with the lapband doc today.  We'll see about getting a fill.  Not sure I really need one.  Seems like when I eat the right stuff, I stay pretty satisfied...maybe just a small tweak is needed.  We'll see what he says.  I'm also hoping the ultrasound results are in as well.  The ultrasound itself went fine but of course, the tech doesn't tell you anything.  I did see the little balloon shaped thing on the screen and it looked fine to me (unless it's not supposed to be balloon shaped) but then again, I'm not a doc.  The tech said the results would be sent to the doc the next day (Wednesday) so I figure they should definitely have them by my appointment today.  Keeping fingers crossed that the gallbladder is fine and doesn't need to come out.  Does anyone else feel like they're cramming for a test when they go to their lapband doc?  Like..."OMG...I shouldn't eat or drink anything today so that I'm as light as possible by the time I go in for my appointment."  And I start rationalizing to myself why I'll weigh more there than at home..."I normally weigh first thing in the morning, all nekked and what not..and this is in the afternoon with full clothing...of course I'm going to weigh more."  Silly I know.

Hubby and I are officially on the lookout for a new house to rent.  We moved to the boonies back in 2009 and we are ready to move back to civilization.  With hubby's surgery scheduled May 31st, we're hoping to move the weekend prior.  I have that entire week off of work to help him with recovery and what not so I can also get a good bit of unpacking done then as well.  Here's keeping my fingers crossed that some benevolent landlord sees past our foreclosure and slight behindage (I like that word) on school loans and will rent us a decent place.  I admit I'm a little worried about it.  I'll obsess over this until we move because that's just the way I am. 

Incidentally, I'm turning 30 in June.  A few days after my birthday is when hubby will be able to eat solid food again so I'm thinking we'll celebrate the weekend after that.  The question is what to do.  I'm up for ideas...party, bar, karaoke?  Money is tight so it can't be anything we have to shell out a whole lotta dough for.  We were thinking Vegas but that goes back to the whole money thing.  Any suggestions?

Last but certainly not least... I need a new challenge.  For some reason, I am unable to go to the gym if the only reason I'm going is to be healthy.  I know this is twisted but it's the only explanation I can come up with as to why I haven't been to the gym since my 5k.  I think I need to be working TOWARDS something.  Right now, I have a vague goal about running a 10k in October.  I'm not really sure I want to (the more I run, the more I realize I'm not a runner.  LOL).  But I need something specific and highly motivating.  I thought about a stair climb similar to what a couple of other bloggers have done.  I'm not sure where I would do that and I'm also not so sure I COULD do that.  I huff and puff after just 2 stories.  Hmmm... something to ponder.  I'm open to suggestions on this one.  Any thoughts as to a good physical challenge that will motivate me back to the gym?

Hope everyone's having a good week.  I found a couple new bloggers (new to me, anyway).  Go check them out!  There's Manda and Dianne.  Hope y'all are having a fabulous week...tomorrow's Friday!!  And everything seems better on Friday...
