Things Keep Going On.

I know I'm pretty far down South, but it's cold down here this morning.  We're at 25F and the heater is out in the house.  So I have a little box heater in my room and it makes it OK.  I don't look forward to summer here, but spring would be a welcome relief.

I've got a doctor's appointment today with a gastroenterologist.  I was telling Andi that in the last eight months I had lost about 42 pounds.  Since I haven't changed my diet and my activity is about the same my GP wants to run all sorts of test.  I haven't weighed what I weigh now since my early 20's.  What makes me mad is I've given away all my good clothes that used to fit me before I first got here and gained so much weight.  The shirts and stuff are still OK, but I guess I'll have to buy a couple of pairs of new jeans so I won't have to tighten my belt so much.  So I'll see the doctor today and he'll probably order test or procedures that I know I won't want to go through, but what can you do.......

George is still doing good.  For being over a hundred in human years he's still yappy as can be and still runs and jumps everywhere.  I watch the shows about dog breeds on Animal Planet sometimes.  After seeing all the health problems some dogs can get, I guess I'm pretty lucky with George.  I guess you would call him a mut, but I'm happy with him.

I'm still waiting for one of my brothers to get things together with me moving out of FMom's house.  Honestly, I can't wait.  I'll be very happy to be on my own again.  I love my brothers and sister, but a little privacy goes a long way. 

Other than that everything is going well.  I hope everyone is doing fine.
