Catching Up

Wednesday - Doctor F and I met again. I have agreed to begin taking Zocor again. Regardless of my weight loss, working out 6 days a week, fish oil etc etc....my numbers jumped 70 points. He was rather emphatic...I'll spare you the details. He gave me only 3 months and told me I will be back at the end of 3 months (I waited a year for these scheduled labs). 


Wednesday, while Michael checked in at the chapel, I visited with a friend who is home for a few weeks before spending Nov and Dec with her family in the states. Renee is always a huge encouragement and we talked through PWOCI workshops. 


TODAY - gym....more workshop prep (probably will continue in Dallas LOL)....Physical Therapy for Jared....we began to drive out of town and discovered the battery was dead...then we had to discover where the engine was in the van. I'd forgotten what the seller told me about the battery but remembered it was under a seat or something. LOL 
Ah - engine under the seats...no wonder they are warm....checking the oil. ::snort:: 


Where IS the battery? Would help to be able to read the manual. LOL 

Ah - the battery is under the ledge behind the driver's seat....

By the time we took care of this there wasn't time to go out of town. We headed to the post office on base....six packages of "vitamins" from Vitacost......Life is happy in Asia. 


We went bowling and then took Michael to Papagenos......Italian Buffet. 

Stacia actually ASKED...."May I have a bowl," as she stood at the Chocolate Fountain. Yes, her eyebrows are usually blonde. 

We headed to Sport's Authority and bought Nolan a pair of running shoes. I found these.....and for a brief moment I was taller than Arielle.

My Name is NOT Stacia

Oy vey! The first to ever do this. She's been emphatically telling us her name is NOT Stacia. 

We patiently agreed her name is Anastacia Joy...it means resurrection joy....we chose her when the doctors suggested we make a different choice....she said, "But my nickname is NOT Stacia!"

Ah - this is simple. You can choose lots of nicknames.....Ana, Ann, Annie, Stacia, Stacey.....

"My nickname is DeANA". Um.....and thus it goes in our house. Seems Arielle's name is now Ellie!

Teamwork

We had a down day yesterday.....doctor appointments and an appointment at work for Michael. 


Stacia has been begging to bake brownies or cookies with me and so we did....


I don't have my glasses on and am asking her "What does it say we have to add?" She is imaginative....I didn't realize what was going on until Arielle started laughing and snapping photos. 


She sprayed


She mixed...

She...um....tested for quality control...any girl that will eat a raw egg on a steak is not going to worry about brownie or cookie dough.
