We're the blood of God's veins..

I have to say..Today I am feeling sooo much better than I was 2 days ago.
Yesterday I had a day off from work..I brought my puppy to the vet. Got all of her shots, wormed her (ew that always sounds so gross to me), got her teeth looked at and everything else you can think of. My vet said that she had a beautiful coat :) I then went to my Dr's appt..I was sent straight to X-ray. Then I waited for an eternity to see the Dr. He took one look and said, "Do you want me to remove that  ganglion cyst or just drain it today?" I told him that I couldn't take a month off of work to have it removed so we decided on draining the cyst. There is a really big chance that it will come back, but I'm praying it won't!! I told him what I did for a living and that I worked for Mike Morgan..he was like oohhhh well we can't have you out of work for very long then. He then pulled out his tape recorder to record my notes and he sounded like one of those auctioneers (is that what you call them??) It sounded like this: eeeehhhbleebleeblooblaahhMikeMorganbleeghourrthhoubleeganglioncystleftdorsumbleebloo etc..you get the point! I lol'ed. Couldn't help it. I tried to make a joke a few times and he sort of just looked at me..he drew a perfectly anatomical picture of all of the carpal bones in under 10 seconds and I was like wow that's a really good drawing! I was really impressed..but then he just stared at me. Because duuuuhh he probably draws it for every single patient he sees a day which is probably like 20+. ha! I wish I could upload the video of the cyst being removed (my sick co worker made me record it but I couldn't even watch the needles so I'm surprised it came out!) He basically just numbed my wrist (which was the super painful part) then drew the fluid out of the cyst with a bigger needle. Then he pressed on the cyst until it popped and moved the fluid around, wrapped me up, and sent me out the door! He prescribed me with no massaging until Monday. ha! So I ended up doing a lot of busy work at work today and working with people that needed one on one treatment with a therapist.
Wow, that seems like a really boring story. But really..I am so happy that my dogs are taken care of, that my wrist is taken care of..I got to go grocery shopping. I've learned over the past year to just be happy that I have what I have. I was seriously a shop-a-holic. Don't get me wrong, I still am at heart. But I think I was just going after so many material things because I was so unhappy and I could think about what I wanted to buy next instead of what was actually going on in my life. I really do love to shop, though! I think I am very materialistic..but lately I have been learning to not be so much. I think that's maybe part of why I'm going through this right now..
welllll I'm pretty sure the Ides of March blog challenge is over? But I'm kind of on a roll with blogging so I think I'll keep it up :)
