More medical tests – how fun!

by The Diva



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.

We really need to finish our living room and dining room reno

by The Diva

Do you ever watch home renovation or design shows on television? Sometimes when I find that I have some spare time on my hands, usually on Saturdays, I take some time to watch some of my favorite design or home reno shows.

I find TV shows like Flipping out, Marriage Under Construction, Homes Inspection and any DIY shows interesting.

My husband and I are home renovators. Well … stalled home renovators. We currently have an unfinished living room dining room ceiling and need to finish the wall (currently open and covered by plastic!) that runs between the basement stairs and the dining room. Its been that way for oh .. about … four or more years.

I did say we were stalled in our home renovations didn’t I?

The only good thing about taking our time renovating is that I’ve had tons of time to come up with renovating and design ideas and plenty of time to see what ideas have stuck through the years. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to put in the all glass brick wall between the basement stairs and dining room anymore … you see what a few years to think about things can do?

I’m hoping we’ll put on our renovating hats again in a few months .. I really want to finish our living room dining room. All we really have to do to finish the reno job is put up the tin ceiling, maybe add in monte carlo fans in the living room for cooling, put up molding and baseboards and then work on some new furnishings – possibly.

Are any of you stalled DIY’ers? If so … what did you do to get yourself motivated again?

Mac or PC Notebook?

by The Diva

I think that before this month is over I’ll be the proud new owner of either a PC or Mac Notebook.

My current notebook is getting slow and well … old. I’ve been watching all the deals and I think it’s time to either replace this laptop or at least get another one to use along side this one.

I’ve always wanted a Mac. I do a lot of graphic work and I know that macs are the best for graphic artists … so I’m leaning that way. I just need to make sure I get one with enough macbook memory in it for all the work I do!

On the other hand … I’ve been hearing good things about Windows 7 so a new computer with the new operating system might be nice to try out too. Of course I could always have my current notebook and computer updated.

If you were thinking of getting a new laptop would you buy a Mac or a PC?
