So I almost posted

What Monday morning and no post?  Then I realized it's 6 in the morning for EC and 3 am for WC.  No one is awake yet!!  Sadly I don't think I will be around when you guys wake up and get on the knot but I miss you guys and Germany is going awesome.

How are things going?  I have a couple of wedding pictures which I can share later but now off to lunch.  I'll try to stop by when I'm finished.  you all.

I was awake and on my way to work at 6...blah.  Can't wait to see the pictures!

ravenray

Bleh.  How have you been?  Any findings on the cysts?

La, I was awake and driving to M's at 6.  I just got to work and it took 15 minutes for my email to function.  It's about to be the longest week ever.

Why such a long week peeks?  Just because it's Monday?

The doctor I saw a few weeks ago said he doesn't see any cysts.  I got the blood work and CT scan done and neither showed anything.  I was referred to a GI doc for more testing, but I can't get in for another few weeks.  Hopefully this guy can figure something out!

We had a 4 day week last week due to the holiday.  I have a TON of stuff to do this week, an event I'm organizing tomorrow night, an event I'm attending Wednesday night, and a dinner to plan for a couple weeks from now, in addition to starting the prep for our huge department meeting next month.  And a ginormous project that's being handed over to me slowly.

Rach and I are signing up for the NYC Color Run this week, and we plan on running together.  I'm doing a 5K obstacle course next Saturday (like a mini-Warrior Dash) with M's family.  So, I'm working on running my tucus off this week to train, and Thursday I start the ab-work and strength training.

And I'm on a diet.  Swimsuit shopping yesterday was BRUTAL.  So, I'm kicking myself into gear today.

ETA: That sounded a lot like whining.  I'm not whining.  Just realizing how much I have going on right now.

I'm glad you're enjoying Germany! I can't wait to see pictures of the wedding and of your honeymoon!

I was still in bed at thhe time you were going to post. Summer vacation and all! I let myself sleep in! Now I am going to gather trash and move stuff around the house, perhaps vacume the carpets so that when FI gets home he thinks I actually cleaned! (The cleaning will come later... maybe?)

Peek: Long weeks suck... especially when things go wrong first thing Monday morning! ETA: Color Run! I've always wanted to do that. My friend did the one in Austin a few weeks or months ago (I honestly don't know how long ago it was) and she said she had a blast! Have fun!

La: Hopefully they figure something out. Going to doctors who kind of just guess or just tell you "Oh, its only blah blah blah, you'll be fine" really tick me off.

LilTexasGal, my one doctor just keeps trying to throw painkillers at the problem.  Another doctor prescribed me medication used to treat IBS but I haven't gotten any sort of diagnosis.  I think they're just going to keep prescribing things and see what works.

I was just getting up I'm at work now, and with a bad headache and not much sleep.  So today is going to be great....

I can't wait to see pictures Raven!  How is Germany so far?  How is speaking the language so far?  How are you enjoying the food?  What area of Germany are you staying in again?  I hope you are enjoying yourself though.

Psh, that is what they did to me for the longest time too. I find myself being thrown pain killers even now. At least they got to the bottom of one of my major issues, oddly enough it was the first time I'd visited this particular GI that he got it. I was impressed. Hopefully you'll have similar luck.

For my other issue I feel like a drug test dummy. One guy I went too wanted me to agree to do this surgery/operation to test if it helped my <em>unknown</em> issue. To this day I think he just wanted a willing human subject so if it worked he could make millions. I was like NOOOO thanks.

Best of luck!</div>

hi Ray!  I'm so jealous of you in Germany.  I NEED PICTURES, PLEASE.

I fractured my tailbone last Thursday, so I have done a lot of laying around this weekend.  however, I can't stand the messy house anymore.  my H has tried to keep it clean, but our standards a little different.  I can't complain too much, he did almost all the laundry for me so I wouldn't have to carry/bend very much!  hoping to get back to normal ASAP because I am not a good invalid.

oh, and I'm trying to crash Ely's wedding and then hang out in Amish territory with H in October.  I want to make this happen.

how is Germany?  how is being married?  are you having a wonderful time?  our HM is still by far my favorite week ever.  pure bliss!  I hope it's the same for you.    stay safe and hope you check in soon!

RAY!!!!!! Miss you! Glad you're having fun, love!

I'm so glad you are having a good time. I'm cranky on this Monday morning. Came back to a cluster fvck, including my truck being given to someone else. One of my installers had his truck engine blow, so boss man have him my truck. His response this morning, "i'm sorry, I can't lose chuck." So wtf am I supposed to do without a vehicle?? Not to mention all the stuff that apparently no one else can handle without me. Is it Friday yet....

Hi Ray!  Glad you're having a great time!  ...and I hope you're taking a LOT of pictures!

ravenray

Lasak- Oy!  I hope they figure something out soon!!! Are you feeling any better?
Peeks- Yuch that doesn't sound fun I am sorry!  The run with Rach will be fun though!
Lit- Ah I am glad you are on Vac!  Any special plans? 
Danser- We are FB friends right?  I just uploaded some pictures!  Germany is going good.  The family is really nice and laid back and it's beautiful here.  It's going pretty well, today I plan on starting to teach myself but I am understanding a lot more which is good.  The food is soo good, but I am going to get fat, bread, cheese, beer, and butter every day!  I am in the south near Stuttgart, I love this region!  
Coco- I see you found them   Oh ouch!  I hope you feel better soon!  How did you do that? Be careful cleaning!   Germany is good.  Being married is good too  
BEAN!  I miss you too!
Irish- Oh no I was hoping it wouldn't do that too you but I figured it would.  Sorry love!  Do you need me to send some people I know to kick all their asses??  I can.  *hugs*

Peaseblossom55

my great-aunt was from Germany.  she met my uncle when he was deployed there around the Korean War.  she was very German...  and her cheesecake was divine!!

It sounds like you're having a blast in Germany with your DH! I'm jelly! I've heard that the scenery is breathtaking. You better be taking lots of pictures!
