More delays in renovating and cleaning

My husband was supposed to have several days off this week but it hasn’t turned out that way. He ended up working ten hours today and now someone has called in sick at work for tomorrow so he’s going to be working tomorrow. I guess we won’t be getting some of our renovations and basement cleaning done as we’d planned.

We were going to continue to finish cleaning the basement tomorrow. Chris has a lot of his music equipment in the basement. Not his guitars, but other things like his K&M Stands, his music books, his favorite stools to sit on when playing guitar on the road and so on. All of that stuff needs to be organized.

It’s amazing how much music related stuff has accumulated in our home in the time we’ve been together! Oh well, maybe we’ll sort out all this stuff on the weekend or next week.

It was like summer here in Toronto this week. Everyone in my neighborhood was out walking around in shorts and light tops, riding bikes, skate boarding, roller skating, jogging … you’d never know that it was Winter/ Spring!

The news was even crazier. The whole country was warmer than usual this past week, but I think overall Toronto was the warmest so the news kept showing people basking in the sun on the beach dressed in bathing suits and so on. I remember seeing them interview one girl who looked like she’d just been playing volleyball on the beach but she had all these steel bracelets on her wrists so her interview was distracting.

March isn’t over so I suppose we could still get a snow storm, but somehow I doubt it will happen. It feels like summer has already arrived even though Spring is really the season that only just arrived two days ago.

It seems to be that time of year again when I end up getting a bunch of tests done at the hospital. I’m due for my six month recheck on a lump in my right breast. Yeah – kind of scary but my doctor wasn’t too worried with the first test results.

The only real problem is that as I said, this is my 6 month retest and the first mammogram and ultrasound was in June of 2011 … and guess when my new ultrasound is scheduled? At the beginning of June this year! I don’t even know when the mammogram is scheduled yet – they haven’t contacted me with an appointment as of yet. Usually it doesn’t take that long to get a mammogram appointment though so I’ll probably have that one within a month and since the result will be odd my ultrasound will probably get bumped up.

Then later in the year I need to have a biopsy on my thyroid. That’s becoming a regular yearly thing as well since I have a tumor in my right thyroid as well. Hmmm … everything’s on the right side it seems. I’ve always had a Thyroid imbalance but I’ve also had growths on my thyroid as well. I ended up having my left thyroid removed several years ago and now it looks like I might end up having the right side taken out sometime in the near future too. I guess I’ll just have to keep hoping that the test and biopsy results turn out ok.
