Wednesday.

I went back to work today after being irradiated on Feb. 14th. That sounds so dramatic... irradiated... I guess it sounds better than "I took a pill and needed to be isolated for a bit."
I have Thyroid Cancer...in case you didn't know. Actually, I shouldn't have cancer anymore... I should know more on Friday, that's when I have my full body scan. I think they will tell me if the cancer is gone or if it spread...let's hope it's gone.This is the scar from the surgery.


I was happy to go back to work today. It was great so see the girls. We had a lot of fun today. It's nice to know that my meds are working, and the the bipolar nanny has left the building. You never really know what certain parts of your body are for until a surgeon removes them. Like your thyroid... did you know what it does? I never knew that the thyroid produces hormones that control your moods... yeah... that's a good thing to know... when you have no thyroid and aren't on any medication, you feel like you have PMS all the time... and the memory lapses... that's no fun. I felt like I should be waiting for the short bus to pick me up. Carrying on a conversation or trying to give directions was impossible. "Um... go....left when you see the...oh what is it... not Home Goods... Home... Home... Home on the...no no no... Home Depot...that's it..."

OH... I should tell you about what went on yesterday too...
Jordan's furniture came out to fix our sofa and bed. The bed had a broken screw on a support piece that needed fixing and the sofa needed some upholstry fixing. Anyway...
Last time Jordan's came out to fix something, I did a quick clean up of the apartment... making sure there wasn't anything inappropriate around, like dirty clothes, books, just general crap clean up. Well, when Mr.Fix it showed up, I let him in and immediately noticed the HUGE vibrator on the coffee table. Ok..this isn't your typical vibrator...it was a gift given to me for my bridal shower- my cousin had hot glued some Ken clothes and sunglasses to it. It was called "Cumonawannalaya Ken". I had taken it out to show some friends a couple of nights before, and forgotten all about it.
I noticed the vibrator on the coffe table, tossed a sweatshirt over it and thought I could scoop it up before he would notice. WRONG. As soon as I scooped it up, the frigging thing turned on... so "buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" was coming out from the sweatshirt. I was so embarassed, and of course, I couldn't get the damn thing to shut off. I finally got it to shut up and went back into the living room and forgot all about it.

Well, this time, I thought I would do a preemptive strike... Looked everywhere I could think of to make sure that all questionable materials were out of sight... or so I thought.

Nick, the repair guy comes in and takes a look at the sofa... says he can fix it... nice.
Then he goes into the bedroom and takes a quick look at the support and says he can fix it, but we'll need to take off the mattress and box spring... "Fine," I think "All that's under the bed is the Hammock"
Well, as soon as we get the box spring up I realize what's under the bed, something that I had COMPLETELY forgotten about... a gift I had received at Christmas from my husband... a "
Cast your own member" kit... yes folks... a Make your own dildo kit... (It was a joke... but tossed under the bed until I could find an appropriate use for it...)
So, I slyly kicked it under the night stand and had a cocktail. Yeah... it was that type of day.

How was your week?
