Small Explosions

A few years ago our DVD player started going funny. This was just before my birthday, when I got the DVDs I wanted for my birthday (and had the day off) I had to get a new DVD player. Because I didn't want to spend the time researching players I wend to Walmart and chose the cheapest one ($30) . I figured it would last a few months to a year then we could replace it.

Today Pat was watching soccer and I was surfing the internet when we heard a little pop. we looked at each other wondering what that noise was. When it happened again shortly after the first pop I walked over to see what was causing the noise. In the short walk that it took to get to the entertainment center smoke started coming from the shelf under the TV. We pulled the TV out to unplug the power strip hoping to avoid a fire or bigger explosion.

Upon inspection the DVD player went out in a spectacular show, I'm just glad we were home for it. Pat unfortunately pulled a muscle as we were pulling the TV out (or maybe when we were putting it back). That put a damper on our plans.

Doctor Dramma

I had the mole removed Monday. They ask I call Friday for the results of the mole (they test every mole removed regardless of how suspicious it is). So I gave a call around noon today just to make sure and they tried to give me results for a blood test. I let them know that it was results for a mole removal and they put me on hold just to come back with the same blood results.

After arguing with the nurse a little (and giving them my name more then once) they asked if I was Mrs. X. suppressing my frustration I provided my name yet again, spelling it for good measure.

My results were not in yet so Monday, I will call back. Hopefully with better results.

Correction

The gym opened late last week and was not closed at all. I had a very nice and relaxing week off of the gym though would have preferred to not take the time off as today's workout was much less fun then it could have been.

Perplexing

After one week of Halloween candy binges and the gym being closed, It was time to weigh myself. Surprisingly enough I lost 4 Pounds. It is not a diet I plan on continuing though I may not feel so guilty going out and buying some 50% off candy.

Today I went to the dermatologist to get a mole checked. Unfortunately for Pat I forgot until the last minute and he had to drive me and pick me up after. We have adjusted to having one car fairly well and tonight was the first issue. It went surprisingly well. I got my mole shaved off. She said it looked ok but because it was fairly new, (I have no idea when it showed up), she removed it. The Novocaine was more painful then I remember it ever being, thankfully my experiences with it are limited. The whole procedure was over with quickly.
