This is March?

grammarwomanIn an exemplar display of central Midwestern weather, for the first time since last winter, we have finally had snow on the ground for more than a day. In March. With many of the spring bulbs having sent up their green spikes and some having bloomed already, the more fools them. *sigh* I mean, I love snow, but in its proper time and place. Which is not now.
So I did that thing again where I fell down in posting and failed to get back up. Since my last missive about the ongoing crud invasion assaulting my body, I relapsed on the "sleeping through the night" thing and had to call my primary doc for another prescription. I wound up with a new inhaler that has the bonus side affect of potentially contracting thrush; I am rinsing after every dose to avoid that, blech. But I have officially been sleeping through the night for a couple of weeks now, and oh my goodness! I have energy! I have brain space! I have a personality that isn't "slug on a couch"! Now my tiredness is due to making bad decisions about my bed time. Oh, self.
I also had a CT scan to follow up on an interesting X-ray, and according to the online update to my medical record, the following is the state of my lungs: "main pulmonary artery is mildly enlarged measuring about 3.8 cm", I have "a punctate calcified granuloma in the right upper lobe", and there is "mild linear scarring or subsegmental atelectasis in the right lower lobe". Dr. Google says that's nothing to be alarmed about, so I'm hoping that my visit to the pulmonologist this week concurs. I sure wish my primary had cared enough to call me about the results.
In other news, I'm on week three of my latest period. I suspect and do not recommend perio-menopause; these month-long periods are not particularly fun.
