From the monthly archives:
Toby is officially a heart patient.
Two years ago, he was diagnosed with a grade 1 (mildest) heart murmur. Today, the vet heard the murmur more distinctly and did the X-rays we were planning on doing when he had his teeth cleaned.
His left atrium is enlarged. He’ll be on medication for the rest of his life. [...]

We had a great time in the mountains. I spent a lot of time taking pictures (of course), and also read quite a lot. I even managed to get [...]

I’m heading to the mountains in less than an hour and a half, yet I just sit here.
I really AM looking forward to the trip. It was just so nice and warm in my bed with my husband and my dog and (part of the night) my husband’s dog.
Now I must collect junk food, DVDs, [...]

Ed’s colonoscopy went just fine. He’s as handsome on the inside as he is on the outside. :)
When it was all said and done, I think today was harder for me than it was for Ed. He was awake through the whole procedure and watched it on the monitor. AND he didn’t feel a thing. [...]

Well, it’s actually Ed’s adventure, and it’s not “excellent,” but I am trying to put a happier spin on all this.
Ed started drinking his “whatever” solution at 4 p.m. He says the solution is “awful” and gets worse as time goes on, but he’s doing it. He drinks 8 ounces every 15 minutes. As of [...]

Ed’s having a screening colonoscopy tomorrow at 2 p.m. I know that my posting (only non-gross) stuff here won’t produce Katie Couric Effect-like results, but I hope writing about Ed’s experience might make someone who stumbles across this blog a little less anxious about his or her own colonoscopy.
Anyway, this morning, Ed starts a clear-liquids-only [...]

Ed behaved himself. :)
I told Deborah my favorite Deborah Norville Writes Rebecca story. It has to do with advice “Aunt Deborah” (her words) gave me in 1991 about how much my taste in men would change over the years. It was so wonderful to tell the story with the evidence standing right next to me. [...]

Ed called a little while ago. He’s going to meet me for the Deborah Norville book signing.
I hope he brings the 53-year-old adult who “knows” her as Deborah, not the twenty-something-year-old who “knew” her as Debbie Norville from when she worked at WAGA in Atlanta. (When Deborah left WAGA in 1979, I was 4. Ed [...]

Today after work, I’m going to see Deborah Norville at a book signing for Thank You Power.
I’m excited. As you can see, I so excited that I took a PICTURE of the reminder that popped up on Ed’s car’s navigation system this morning. I also brought my camera, should any opportunities for picture-taking arise at [...]

The Chinese restaurant I’ve mentioned previously has had another inspection by the health department. Their new and much-improved score is 93. (The inspection report score immediately after our complaint was 69; the score a week later was 72.)
That doesn’t mean I’ll eat there again (and Ed may not ever eat Chinese food again), but I’m [...]
