Here’s our new flooring. Isn’t it pretty? It’s prettier in natural light, but we’ve had none of that lately.

One thing I’ve noticed as we’ve been living in weird quarters is that we’re more likely to catch the sunrise and sunset each evening. The couch is currently in the dining room, so we hang out on it, regardless of the fact that there’s no TV in front of it, before breakfast and dinner. So for the last few days it’s been “ooooh, prettttttyyyyyyy….” and “who can be the first to see three colors in the sky?” It’s nice. 
Everything at my house is topsy turvy right now. We’ve moved everything out of the workroom, the master bedroom (except our mattress & alarm clock), and the living room (except the tv, couch, & piano–those will be moved the day of). The vinyl installers come in tomorrow and will be finished Wednesday afternoon. Then we’ll put in our own base boards (they won’t do it–they only put in quarter round).
I hadn’t realized how many decorations or just nifty stuff I had in each room until it came time to move stuff. It all had to packed up and put aside in the garage along with the furniture. It was amazing how much stuff we have.
Once we get the flooring in and the big stuff put back I’m going to go through all my decorations and things of interest and decide what stays and what goes. Sooo much to do.
Nick broke his toe. Apparently the train table moved in the night. It looks worse now.
I went in today to have another nerve conduction study done. There’s nothing wrong with them right now. There never is when they do the tests. I have no symptoms during them. If there could be some way to run in while I’m having symptoms and have the test done right that moment? That would be awesome…and maybe even helpful. But no.
So what’s wrong with the Lisa, you might ask? Numbness to the point of not knowing if I’m holding something or pressing the gas pedal in the car. Twitching random body parts when I don’t mean to be twitching them. Feeling as though I have spider webs or bugs or hair floating across my arms and legs when there’s nothing there.
What did the doctor say? “You’re just weird, Lisa.” To which I replied, “Thanks, but could you tell me something I don’t already know?” I guess she thought I was annoyed (I wasn’t; I was amused), so she explained that doctor’s usually think their patients are whacko until they figure out what’s causing the problem. I get to have some more blood tests run and wait until she hears back from my other doctors before she can tell me anything else. It might be a Vitamin B-12 deficiency or a thyroid problem (they tested for both of these two years ago; nope). It might be random nerve firings. It might be caffeine (umm…no…caffeine does nothing for me, plus I don’t even drink much of it these days).
I have my follow-up appointment in a month (first available as of two months ago). In the meantime? Watch out on the road.
