Depressing with a side of funny

We're back. My mortgage company is going to, "review the financials," but in short, it's the same. It really doesn't matter to them if we default. We'll see. But enough on that.

Secondly, I forgot to have my thyroid sonogram done. There's a nodule she needs to check. So I have to get on that. My HDL is almost at good levels and my LDL is only 5 points above where it should be. Because of my transgressions though, my triglycerides are again double what they should be. She scared the shit out of me with heart attack talk, and I am now going to try hard to walk the straight and narrow. And for me, the food choices are quite narrow. So I have 5 months to get my butt in gear on this before my next appointment. I'd appreciate any and all encouragement. Having family that rarely makes it past 65 because of heart disease (otherwise trim, active and healthy) is a motivator, but it's still so hard sometimes.

And now for the funny.

E was so good through the appointment and mortgage stuff. At the end, I could tell he was uncomfortable in a dirty diaper, but we couldn't change it right then. At the very end, he couldn't contain himself and started grunting and straining loudly. He replied to my, "What are you doing E?" with

I'M FINDING A POOP!

I'm sorry your day sucked. Love you.

Good for E! I hope he meant it for the mortgage people, and I hope they took it personally. The poop was for them!

Do you still take metformin? I know you said you did and that it helped your thyroid. If you aren't on it, is it something you could consider long term to help with these other issues?

My vote for you tomorrow: call in sick and be lazy. You deserve a break!

Aw thanks Elle!! I can't but wish I could! The Met is for the PCOS, and when that's under control, other blood levels get better.. Except thyroid. I take Synthroid for that.

Ugh, I'm sorry about the mortgage, that makes me so angry. :( I agree, I hope that poop was for them! Too funny though, nice one E.
