So Tom is officially FANTASTIK (to make the cleaning solution pun I was going for two blogs ago more appropriate)!
I was feeling like garbage for a few days in a row there but I’m back to being gold! And my name isn’t even Ponyboy? Sweet.
Just spent an evening with two of the greatest people on Earth. They happen to be a couple and thus they are one of the coolest couples on Earth. Yes I am speaking about Tim & Jasmine, who were kind enough to grace Nicole and I with the presence for an evening. Good times were had by all and it is possible my toilet-seat-down ratio will improve from this point on! I must put a shout out to the S&M Inc. who are clearly also in the running for best couple ever (will call it a tie for now so as not to sever any of my friendships). Good friends + Good food = Good fun!
I’m now listening to “Rock ‘n’ Roll (Part 2)” which came up on my playlist after Kenny Roger’s “The Gambler” so you know I’m in a good mood! They keep cutting down the number of pills I’m taking so I’m not sure if you can consider me a drug addict at this point. Once I’m off my steroid and antibiotic I’ll be down to two types of pills daily and one injection. So I’m practically “clean” :)
My MRI is scheduled scheduled for March 8th @ 7pm (though I don’t think it’ll be a televised event so no need to mark your calendars). Now until then = the ultimate waiting game to see how things have gone. Actually I’m totally lying. March 8th represents the BEGINNING of the waiting game as the results probably won’t be ready right away, and knowing the scan has been done but we don’t know what it looks like will be the excruciating part. C’est la vie. Until then I work on keeping my Tumour in check by mentally trying to kill it somehow. I think if I scrunch my face like I’m trying to think really hard things should go well.
For those who might ask “What happens then?” I think the idea is no one yet knows. The results will tell the Doctors what the best course of action is to take. See my previous blog posts for some scenarios.
School has been going pretty good so far. I escaped this past week alive having managed to complete a few major assignments. This is now the “calm before the storm” where I have no major projects due within the week, which means I must be using this time to cram in as much reading and work as I can before the next round of assignments simultaneously hit me (as they always do). If I can make it to the last week of February (reading week) I think I’ll be good. One major presentation... on February 14th of all days in a Finance course. I’m thinking of decorating the room with hearts and telling everyone how much I love Small Business Finance. Valentine’s Cards for everyone in the room with the company’s five year cash flow predictions? Bonus points for creativity? Should make up for the fact I don’t know finance and will score nothing for the presentation itself.
So how is life in the apartment Tom? Well, I’m glad you asked. I found out I don’t know how to care for plant life. Jen & Randy were so kind as to get us a plant for the former Christmas Tree corner of the living room. I was watering it daily what I thought was a good amount of water. One day the water stopped “sinking in” to the soil. Eventually Nicole asked why the water was floating at the level of the top of the pot. Some investigation lead to the realization the larger pot (the smaller pot was in) was 1/2 filled with water AFTER the smaller pot was removed. I was drowning the poor sucker. 4-5 days of no watering and the soil is still damp. Lesson learned.
Oh, so did I mention Nicole and I are engaged? BECAUSE WE ARE! Pretty psyched about that one. I’m not gonna lie, I was banking pretty heavily on a “yes”, and was fairly confident it would come, though I won’t lie... still bloody nerve racking! Randomly calling each other Fiancé all of the time as now a fun part of every day. You’d think it’d get old, but so far it hasn’t. Neither has staring at her ring for Nicole. She’ll just look at it and giggle randomly, which I love. You should see her try and drive!
Probably should be off to bed right away, as sleep does me well. Tomorrow should be a good day. I think this weekend will see me finally put up Nicole’s housecoat hook, finally do some laundry (we’re out of clean towels), do some dishes, AND put up the curtains in my paper room / office! Productivity will be accomplished! After that it’s just a few product returns, a couple of purchases and the apartment will be declared “Mission Accomplished”! I just need an aircraft carrier to hang the banner on. I hope it isn’t premature as there are a few pockets of resistance (mostly in the storage closet).
CHEERS EVERYONE! Keep you posted with another post sometime soon barring life or school getting in the way. Laters Aligators :)
