Tomorrow....

I bet you have the same thought that I do....where did the weekend go? Sometimes it seems like Monday through Thursday just drags on.  Then, along comes the weekend and the seconds can't go fast enough.  Well, tomorrow finds most of us going back to work. It is, in fact, something to be thankful for.  It is so common to hear of layoffs and the difficulties of finding a job that we really need to count our blessings if we have a job to report to. 

Tomorrow is my second day of orientation for my new/old job.  I am considered a "new" employee since I had a break in employement, so I have to go through the new employee orientation. It actually isn't too bad.  I have made some new acquaintences and that makes it all worthwhile. 

I also have to go back to the hospital tomorrow for further testing since my mammogram came back showing that "density" thing. I am a bit nervous about that. Again, I know, probably nothing to be concerned about.  I guess I am just a worry wart. I am already feeling anxious about next week's colonoscopy and I haven't even gotten through tomorrow's test yet. I told my guy tonight that I dislike going through this stuff by myself.  I miss having someone sitting beside me in the waiting room, holding my hand and whispering in my ear, "it's going to be alright." I'll miss squeezing his hand as they stick my arm with the needle in order to prepare for the i.v. and sedation. I'll miss seeing him as they wheel me to the back for the procedure and then again, when I wake up. I'll miss that tender, loving, care that only that special, special someone can give.  But, like all things, I'll get through it.  I'm a big girl, after all.  But, just for the record, I still don't like it!

The one thing I do have to look forward to is this....17 days!!!  17 days and I'll have a little piece of heaven in a big, chilly, cold city.  I'll finally be with my man again!  It's been three months since the last time we were together and I am so looking forward to this. I even have my countdown to the second on my cell phone.  It's going to be a bit busy since I'll have some friends visiting but it should be lots of fun.  Plus, we'll be celebrating three years!  It doesn't seem that long at all.  It's like only yesterday that I was trying desperately to get his attention, practically jumping up and down in front of him.  Just joking, I wasn't really jumping up and down.  Although, I did have to work at getting his attention and as a last resort, intiating the conversation...ok, ok, making "the move."  In the end, it was all worth it.  We've made it this far!

So, in order for me to get there (my visit), I have to go through a few more tomorrows.  I have to get through a few more tests. Time has to drag on and/or pass by fast.  In order to get there, life has to go on.
