Three hours spend at the doctor’s office with Gram this morning, half an hour of that due to the fact that she got her appointment time wrong by half an hour, so we were very, very early…  Another half an hour of explaining to the doctor why the entire family thinks it’s ridiculous to put an eighty year old woman, whom eats nothing but junk food to begin with, on appetite suppressants…  Another half an hour of listening to the doctor explain why the pills she gave her were the best diet pills for her…  Then wondering aloud why she would even be trying to lose weight in the first place, started another unpleasant conversation with the witchy doctor…  I was so glad to be out of there!

At least the children are over the sick bug that plagued us last week, everyone is back to school and feeling mostly okay for the most part.  It seems though that after the flu symptoms disappear, you’re still left with a slight cold, but it’s a big improvement over high fevers and throwing up.  Snot I can handle, puke I can’t…  I know, I know… TMI…

Hubby’s been trying to get the last of the yard work done before winter really sets in, and the leaves are all past there peak here…  The beginning of fall is brilliant, the middle and end are really quite drab… But at least it’s better than everything being white and covered on snow…

Now that you know what random thoughts are on my mind, hop on over to Keely’s and see what’s up with everyone else!
