Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1. You know what feels odd? Sitting in the Spine Institute making an appointment for an MRI...the open one because you're claustrophobic....and hearing an old Pretenders song playing in the background. I don't know why but it was one of those moments that struck me....kinda like, "well, I never saw either ONE of these things coming....."

2. Ernie came into the appointment with me. I decided this officially makes us an old married couple but hell....we ARE an old married couple. He came to all my OB appointments when I was pregnant and I always go to all of his cancer appointments so why not.... It felt comforting....even though I had to whisper when they asked me how much I weigh....

3. It's funny how even though it's been four years since my sister died, things pop up out of the blue and grab at my heart. I got in the car and found this sitting on the seat....it had gotten pulled out when Ernie was digging through the glove compartment.

4. We had mussels made with a bit of tomato sauce and Italian sausage and white wine...and homemade bread last night. The mussels were divine...lousy picture but a picture just the same. The boys, of course, turned their noses up at them....

5. I love that Peter Cooper brought us this copy of the Tennessean..... 

6. If I can get through the next week of work, I'll have a bit of a break. Looking forward to it.

7. In the meantime....
