so....what have you done?

my classmates met for a reunion at the sky club.  i've been so distracted with OT and this homebuying jag that i totally missed out.  a day before my vacation.  bummer.

and the weather forecast for this week is shit.  guess it's back to making lemonade.  i think this calls for a splash of patrón.  bzzz.

is it summer already?

the weather here on the southcoast cannot seem to find it's summer groove.  spring was a mess.  cherish what you can get.

if i haven't stated it already, searching for a home of my own sometimes makes me weary.  the looking is fun.  okay.  not always fun.  sometimes scary.  and sometimes very sad.  but the offers that get declined.  in this market, no less.  great houses just sitting there.  baffling.

"buy in the summer.  move in the summer."  out of the mouths of babes.  he never steered me wrong before, so i'll take a cue from my favorite child and see if it pans out.

alright, still

we begin this day with a visit to the emergency room where i work, fifteen minutes before my shift ended.  ninety percent of my work involves er patients, so i knew that patient acuity was low.  let me just say that acid reflux is not fun.  and, thank goodness, i brought a book.  not sure what i ate that caused my second severe episode of acid reflux (the first was fried chicken with french fries doused in malt vinegar and ketchup, last fall), but it's a good thing my nurse was listening.  i got a GI cocktail (wish that meant something sexual) ... and kept reading "snow flower" while waiting to be released.  took much longer than i expected because i entered the "chest pain" category and testing ensued - x-ray, blood work (cardiac enzymes), ekg, and neurological screening.  so i left with residual esophageal pain two hours later...along with a healthy dose of salty language that needed to remain unsaid.

i get home and have to set my alarm for 8am so i can take my son, who does not drive, to school because he forgot to purchase a monthly bus pass for may.  i have a 1:30 appointment to look at another lovely house in a potential PCB area (someone bought the last one i wanted with cash!).  i say "potential" because the EPA is skirting the area with more testing.  a lot of time on my hands.  already had coffee and breakfast so, what's left on the menu is laundry, haircut, walk, stop by mom's to celebrate my brother's birthday.  most likely in that order, but mom's will have to wait until after a looky-loo at the house.

looks like a lovely day.  let's go!
