Whatever happened to that thing, with that person…?
Friday, December 31, 2010 at 10:34AM Seeing as it’s a new year (Rabbit!) I thought I’d tie up a few loose ends. You know, those things that you sometimes blog about and then become a non-issue in your world, so you forget to tell everybody how it all turned out?
So whatever happened with…
…the ultrsound call-back to tell me about my liver tumor gall bladder?
Okay, it wasn’t a liver tumor OR an ossified fetus (though there are some benign cysts on my liver). According to my doc, it wasn’t anything, and the pain and discomfort I’ve been feeling on that side of my body must be muscular. She prescribed me some muscle relaxants that did nothing at all. I still feel like I have an extra organ in there or something.
Um, well, I haven’t been back. Not that I didn’t like it, just that it’s hard to coordinate my mother and I to get there, and I feel underqualified to go by myself (if one can be underqualified to breathe). Still want to go again though. More breathing in 2011!
…the South Beach diet?
I’d probably be posting bikini shots of myself by now if I’d stuck with it, so let’s just say that it’s not conducive to life during December (or October…or November).
…the dream job?
Well, I didn’t get it, obviously. I didn’t even get an interview, despite my well-matched qualifications, and when I called to inquire why, they only said “There were better-qualified applicants”. Which of course I assumed means I just suck. The career counsellor I’m working with assures me that sometimes they already have a candidate in mind, but are obliged to post the job anyway. On good days I believe her.
…the fridge?
I know you were hanging on the edge of your seat with this one. C’mon, the state of my household appliances affects your mental health, I know.
Anyway, it’s still going. It continues to make dreadful noises (including some kind of hissing sound from underneath that makes me concerned that it will burst into flames), but still keeps things cold. Replacing it during the Boxing Day sales would have made the most sense, which means that it will crap out when appliances are the most expensive. So, like, June?
And now you’re all caught up. What are you doing to start the new year?

I'm not doing much to start the New Year other than thinking of all the things I should be doing to start the New Year i.e. cleaning and organizing my house. I have a horrible case of the 'shoulds' but it's not getting me anywhere.
Have a great New Year's!
I'm hanging in Austin with my daughter and two grandsons, and we are having people to the house tonight, one of whom is undergoing chemo so we're shaving her and her fiance's heads. Should be fun. And I will get some Bailey's. Then I'm going home to Ocala to pack up my stuff and move back to Austin. Yeah, it's gonna be an adventure!
Happy New Year! :)
I'm going to start the new year by yawning a lot and brooding in-between bouts of "I really need to change that air filter" or "I need to finish Midget's room." Hopefully 2011 will bring more opportunities to finish various projects around the house (sans duct tape).
(Also, that whole "better qualified candidates" line seriously pisses me off. I don't know what's worse, though -- having to place a follow-up call to hear that fuckery in the first place, or receiving a postcard that has it printed in a neat, professional font.)
My fridge moo'd at me the other day. I think it is trying to tell me something....
Happy New year! Our fridge is in perfect working condition, however, the doors aren't level. A normal person would never notice. my husband however, has become totally obsessed with trying to fix it. Daily, he wiggle, jiggles and jolts the fridge... Such fun!
I plan to keep breathing, too.
Annnnnnnnnd....exhale. I apparently was holding my breath whilst reading your updates. ;)
Happy New Year, Keely! Hope 2011 brings you more relaxed muscles and that your fridge doesn't turn into a zombie.
;)
I was 99% sure you were fine and 1% afraid something had ossified up in there. Glad to hear it was the 99%!
I began organizing my studio and putting things into containers that I can take to the storage unit! Yes!!! Bout time too!! I need more room out there!!
So that is how I started my New Year!!
And a happy one to you too!!
Hugs

I am glad that it was just muscle pain and nothing that required surgery! HOpe you are no longer hurting.
i'm glad that i am not the only one who thinks she has a lithopedion baby in my abdominal cavity.
love:)
Recovering from a hangover and an all-nighter with the Spaniard. Both fantastic and both hopefully repeatable.
Glad the fridge is hanging in there and nevermind the bloody South Beach diet. Who wants to eat all that bacon anyway?

I'm trying to make my house look normal again. It is living in a state of terrible mess that I can't seem to get on top of. Tomorrow.
Happy New Year, Keely!
I really haven't made any real decisions. I thought about this coming Christmas (I know 12months) and Beaching in the summer but that's about it...
I'm just trying to figure out why more people don't leave comments at my place. Could it be my breath?
This year, I plan to imitate the rabbit. Draw your own conclusion from that..
Cheers to 2011 bringing you good health, laughter, peace, love and more happiness than your heart can hold!
BTW-just FYI...your Facebook page link doesn't go to the right place. But I found you and liked you and am following you on Twitter! Thanks! :)
I'm glad you kicked the South Beach diet. REAL FOOD FTW!
I'm pretty sure I am under-qualified to breathe. I can't put too much thought in to it otherwise I start to hyperventilate from all the purposeful inhaling I'm either doing too little or too much of.
Hopefully I can keep doing it subconsciously.
Good to know your fridge is still fridgerating. I was a little concerned about the state of your perishable food stuffs.
Happy New Year and all that.
