Settled In TN

I made it down in a pretty uneventful drive south. There was rain most of the way down but it was light with not too much traffic and not too many trucks. (Northbound was a different story but I'm hoping that on Sunday, when I return, there won't be nearly as many oversized trucks.) There wasn't much construction until Tennessee but even that wasn't too terrible. 

I arrived at around 12:45 and once I unpacked my car, Mom and I headed out to Kroger for a few items. We then went to pick up some dinner for later (Chicken Salad Chick) and returned home to just settle in, talk, watch TV and hang. 

Today I woke up around 5:15 but laid in bed for a bit until I got a text message from Jim asking if we had any powdered creamer (more on that in a minute). I got up, had some coffee watched some Morning Joe (was so nice to see everyone in studio) and then did some yoga. I've just finished breakfast and after posting this, I'll shower and then Mom and I plan on heading out to get the alcohol for Saturday. I also need to stop and get some tweezers because even though I SWORE I packed mine, I can't find them. And no one wants to see me without my daily needed plucking. Not much else is planned for today aside from getting some stuff done around the house. I might try and go walking but the weather isn't being very cooperative. Stupid rain. 

In Jim news, I was sitting around with Mom last evening, around 6:00 and my phone rang. I was a Kentucky number and I thought it might be Trip calling from Rafferty's so I answered. It was Jim's oncologist, which kind of freaked me out. He was calling because he couldn't get ahold of Jimmy. (Remember Jim had a scan yesterday.) I asked, "Uh...what's going on?" Since obviously, him calling me when he can't get Jim at 6:00 at night on the day of his scan can't be a good thing. Apparently his scan revealed that Jim has diverticulitis. We knew that this could be a possibility because his colonoscopy several years ago revealed he had divericula (pockets that form in the colon wall). When it becomes infected, it's called diverticulitis. The doc believes that a week on antibiotics should clear it up especially since Jim's not having any current issues. When it gets really bad, the doc said they have to go in and drain the abscess...ugh! (And this is why Jim was texting about powdered creamer because he's not supposed to have dairy while on the antibiotics...or alcohol...that would suck!) 

And that's about all I've got. Time to get showered and dressed. Happy Thursday (how is it Thursday already?!). Stay dry! Later!
