What happens when your wireless keyboard batteries die and you have no batteries? You have to stop in the middle of writing a post to switch keyboards. Then you switch to your laptop because you hate your old keyboard. And you forget to go back to your post and finish it, therefore causing you to have to combine posts yet again!

Yesterday morning I had errands to run - groceries, the library - but first, I had to stop at LG’s soon-to-be preschool and drop off some paperwork and the first check. The funny part of the story is that right after I had parked the car and was gathering the things I needed to take with me, I heard a weird noise. I turned off the radio so I could hear it better, looked up and saw kids and their teachers out in the parking lot (they have a summer program there). Then the noise made sense: fire drill! Haven’t heard that noise in a few years.

So, I waited until they kids went back in, gathered my stuff and went in to do what I needed to do. I think sending your child to preschool is bittersweet. On the one hand, you’re proud and happy and excited for your child, and on the other, you’re sad because you know it’s sort of the beginning of the end. Once kids start school, I think time just flies by. And our salad days are going to start coming to an end. She’ll only be going two mornings a week, so we’ll still have days alone together, but…I can’t help but be a little sad, ya know? There’s more to all my feelings, but I’ll save it for when it actually comes to pass. For now, I can stay in denial a few more weeks. ;)

This morning, I had the not so pleasant task of going to get a mammogram. I don’t think there’s a one of us out there that actually likes to go get mammograms and pap smears. They are really not pleasant things to have to do, but the way I look at it is this: 10 minutes or so of discomfort is better than what the alternative could be. The good part about it was that I was in there and out of there in less than an hour including all the time filling out paperwork, etc.

One of my friends was telling me that the place she went was much like a spa with soft music playing, pretty colors, a real robe to wear while you’re waiting, etc. I think that should be the new standard for mammogram offices. Maybe a pedicure or a manicure while you’re waiting and a massage after you’re done. Sounds good to me!
