For those three of you who have been following this blog with diligence and fortitude my apologies for not keeping up with it. One-I had technical difficulties and Two-I had a kind of unexpected surgery.
The technical difficulties have not been resolved; I'm down at the library.
The surgery has also been resolved, since now I have a half of a thyroid, which apparently is fine. Sometimes you either lose weight or gain weight; if either happens you're supposed to call your doctor. Yeah, right, like I'm going to call my doctor if I start miraculously losing weight.
I asked my surgeon if I could take my half of the thyroid home; I thought this might be one of those "teachable moments" and would be grossly cool. Unfortunately hospitals don't do that anymore - something about a bio hazard. Ian was really, really disappointed. Not only did he not get a formaldehyde jar of a thyroid, but Dad had to cook for five days. (I was actually feeling better after three, but milked it for a couple of extra days)
The snow had settled in and my anxiety level has risen. I worry about driving, about the cold, about the cold and the horses, about the cold and the chickens, about the cold and world hunger. But I'm consoling myself with the thought that this will be my last winter here.
I'm still having technical difficulties at home with our computer. In fact, they are so bad that the techno geeks are sending me a disk to "restore" my computer. I'm not sure what I did so I'm blaming it on Ian. Thus, no homeschooling tirades for a few days and Ian has a few days off, which is fine with him since the snow is here (did I mention that?) which means the two mountains are open for skiing.
