Both of our daughters were home for spring break. Within a day the place resembled a sorority house, with hair products, clothes, makeup and junk food everywhere. They brought over various friends, who didn't seem to mind the unclean state of the house as much as I did. They went to a different beach everyday. I took them and a visiting friend to Coronado on Easter; it was heavenly, with the seas glistening and the air the perfect temperature as you can see from the previous post. On the way home I gave everyone a tour of the “island” and luckily found a parking spot on the main strip just a block from the very popular Moo Time Creamery. Alex grew faint and almost passed out while we were there. I stayed in line (hey, we were finally up next after waiting for 30 minutes) to order her Tangy Moo smoothie, while a woman behind me got her water. “Way to go, Mom,” my other daughter, Elise, said to me. My CT scan showed no tumors. But it did reveal something else that I'm hopeful isn't too too serious. Last night Alex and some friends went to the live finale of an MTV dance show. She saw lots of celebrities! We saw her on TV! Elise and her friends drove home. I’m up because they just made it back to Sonoma County. Remember those falls on the trails? My shoulder took the last one full force, and by Sunday night I was convinced I’d cracked another bone. Monday at work was the worse; I was in a lot of pain from my head to my toes. I could barely lift my arm with the injured shoulder. But by Tuesday, I felt better. Not good enough to go to the gym, though -- all week. It was the oddest thing: I really slammed my body on the ground but I never bruised. Now how can that be? I couldn’t really afford to not be 100% at work this week, either. Lots going on. In addition to the kids being home, my sister’s flying in. A brain MRI is the next step for me, along with a visit to the neurologist. Saturday my friend Suzanne and I are going to see the Boston Red Sox play the L.A. Dodgers at the L.A. Coliseum, where attendance is expected to shatter records. The game’s being moved from Dodger Stadium to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Dodgers moving to L.A. from Brooklyn. I wonder if my husband will enjoy all of us girls being gone.

What an amazing week. Wishing you wellness.
Thanks for your comment.. which I loved!... and which, fortunately, reminded me not to miss your Wordless Wednesday. Pictures are breathtaking this week. Thanks.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear of your injuries.
I know how frustrating it can be. My running may never be the same now that my thyroid has conked out. They tell me I'm "normal" now, but I still have numb toes, and buzzing, burning feet and hands, low energy, swollen glands, etc, etc.
I think I'm simply "shot".
Oh, well. I got away with being younger than my years for a long time.
You sure had a busy week. I am so glad that the CT scan showed no signs of tumors---that's a relief.
K and S have been at Grandma and Grandpa's since Wednesday so I have been enjoying the fact that I don't have constantly be cleaning up after them. By the sounds of it some things just don't change.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for always leaving such nice comments on my blog : )
I'm glad there are no tumors, but wonder what the concern is - especially if they are sending you in for a brain scan. I hope it all goes well. You were very slick, sliding the information out in the depths of other news. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for nothing major. I'm glad you had a good time with the girls!
I guess I should have paid attention to the title before I started reading the content! :) You got me. I was caught off guard by your "hidden" comments. Best wishes for healthy results from your next tests. I'm sure it's a relief that so far they haven't found anything wrong, but I'm sure also frustrating not to have an answer too.
I'm with rundoodle; I realized you were up to something about halfway through my first read and had to re-read in order to pull out your story within a story.
Sending super-strong, sunshiny thoughts your way...
anne, please let us know how things turn out, i've been thinking about you a bunch. big, big hugs.
Good karma, nice thoughts, and prayers that all that isn't just right will be right again soon.
I hae 5 and 7 year old girls. Sometimes I think about what things are going to be like when they become teenagers...and I get very, very afraid.
whew! that's a lot going on.
sending good vibes your way that your body feels better and the next tests find out what's going on...
Wow, that is a busy week! I know you were so glad to see your girls!! Good luck with the testing, I hope you find your problem and it's easily resolved.
What beautiful Wed pics you had this week!!!
You had a lot of distractions to lighten up the heavy thoughts.
Girls flitting about
with carefree messes
joys, a faint & ice cream,
beaches,
blessings!
slammin' shoulder body pain,
wondering about your brain
looking forward to a game!
Does your life feel as jumbled together as your post (mine often does)? Do you feel a desire for a break, or does keeping it all close like this feel better?
Prayers for you from Virginia
Yeah, like the others, I had to re-read everything to get the scoop. I'm glad to hear that your medical professionals are following up everything with the proper protocol. That's great news about the CT scan. I hope the next set of tests go well. Take care and I'll be sending positive thoughts your way!
Ouch - hope you're feeling better.
Coninued prayers to you.
Thoughts are with you from the chilly northeast. Listen to some good tunes during the MRI (or fall asleep as I seem to do in those things!). Take care Anne.
