Pregnancy blood test?!?! Are you serious?!?! LOL!

This morning I had an eye exam. I want to get all my medical things done before I leave the States! Afterwards I met a couple of friends for coffee. I decided to have an iced mocha coffee...It was my first "fancy" coffee drink in years!  It was absolutely delicious!  I had a 1/2 caffeine, 1/2 decaf. About an hour later I was so shaky I could hardly function....didn't help that I forgot to eat too!  Oooops!

Soooooo, Kaiser called and left a message a couple of days ago saying I need to go in for a blood test. I called to find out what it's for, and they said because I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy this week I have to have a blood test to make sure I'm not pregnant before they can go ahead with the procedure!  I asked them if they realized I'm almost 55, and they said "you never know about these things"!!!  So, I went ahead and had the test today. I got there at 5:55, they closed at 6:00 p.m....whew!

A couple of days ago I had the prescription filled for the "Colyte". It's a medication you have to drink starting the night before the procedure. It is literally a one gallon jug!  EWWW! I am not looking forward to that! They warned me that it tastes terrible.....

A friend of mine is going to drive me to Kaiser and back home Thursday morning, since they put you under for this. Thank God for good friends!!!

As of two days ago we had two offers on our house. We decided to counter the offer with the people that had a nice down payment and easier loan to qualify with.  Unfortunately today they backed out of the deal. So, we essentially lost both offers. I feel bad about turning down the other offer, apparently this will be their first home purchase.....

So, tomorrow we start over......we've lowered the price of the house a bit. My realtor will be holding an Open House tomorrow. We'll see what happens!!!
