One Foot on a Banana Peel

I read a lot of blogs that originate in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and several of those writers visit here.  It’s just a fluke.  I don’t really know much about Michigan, let alone the Upper Peninsula, though it is one of the places I’d like to visit some day.  This morning I found something in common with my UP friends.  Seems Bigfoot likes to hangout there as well as here in my neck of SW Pennsylvania.  The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has announced it’s on its way to the Upper Peninsula, eastern Marquette county in particular (because it has the most reported sightings), to look for proof of the big guy’s existance.  Other counties reporting encounters include: Ontonagon, Baraga, Dickinson, Luce, and Schoolcraft.  I don’t know about Michigan’s Bigfoot spotters, but here in PA they tend to look like they just got back from a swinging party on a UFO where they danced with Elvis.  Oh, and they smell like beer. 

Now that’s a big foot!

Meg survived her first day of summer school, though not by much to hear her tell it.  She isn’t a happy camper (awwww….poor, poor baby).  She is trying to worm her way into changing things around to her liking, but she hasn’t gone totally Paris Hilton on me.  Maybe she can ingratiate herself to her teacher and get him to let her off for time served because it’s just too much emotional duress. **snort**  If ya can’t do the time, Chickie, don’t do the crime.

Got a call from Matt last night.  He wanted to know the geographical halfway point between his family and Ashlei’s.  Uh, why?  Because they’ve set a (tentative) date to get married.  August 6, 2008.  That’s only bumping the schedule up two years from what they originally said and neither one of them is through school (or even in it at the moment).  Nor will they be next summer.  So, why the big jump in the time frame?  Because they found out that if they’re married they can get more money for school.

Biting. My. Tongue.

Tim finally called the doctor’s office yesterday to ask about his MRI.  He kept saying he didn’t need to call because if anything was wrong they’d call him.  Can you tell how seldom he deals with doctors?  Anyway, there wasn’t anything serious wrong, but oh, by the way, he has a pretty nasty sinus infection.  Who’d have thunk it?  He doesn’t have any symptoms you’d normally associate with a sinus infection, just the dizziness.  Since he called to ask, they’ve now phoned in a prescription for antibiotics, because it does look to be a pretty bad infection.

As for my health issues…… I was at the hospital bright and early Monday morning for the sonogram on my legs and bloodwork.  The bloodwork takes time to get results from and given that I go to the same doctor as Tim, it may be months before I hear anything.  The sonogram only took a few minutes and while they really can’t tell you what they see, the technician did tell me that if they saw anything abnormal they wouldn’t allow me to leave.  I took that to mean my veins are clear.
