Snowing in Orlando??

Well, I departed today for the lovely brisk air of Western Mass, only to get a call from Roomie upon landing that all hell broke out upon my departure. Remembering my doctor's orders to breathe and not to "sweat the small stuff" (for now anywayz), I inquired as to what was up. I hear that the internet is not working (modem needs a 10 second off break), my cat is running from door to door acting nuts (nothing new) and it's SNOWING IN ORLANDO. Yes, you heard me right - apparently, according to Roomie there were snow flurries in Orlando. I'm sure Buddy will shut down the city in a panic (I kid, I kid!!) but it's rather hilarious. I'm up here in Massachusetts and it's snow flurrying down there - what. the. blankity blank blank???

In other news...

Saw the doctor yesterday re: the chest pains - after he hooked me up for an EKG (which - btw - it's like being attached to jumper cables... again - what the blankity blank blank), he took some blood (and, in my normal stress day to day mode, didn't drink water and they had trouble getting a vein, let alone getting enough blood for my testing), decided that they needed to "give me clearance to fly". Yes, say it with me now - what the blankity blank blank.

They set up an appointment for me with a cardiologist - sooner rather than later to quote the nurse - and it's scheduled for next Thursday. Not only that, but I was told I had to pick up a prescription for some nitrosomething that I was to take with me "just in case". Now tell me THAT'S not alarming. I know he's erring on the side of caution, but hot damn people. He also alerted my old doctor up here (a school chum of his) that I was going to be in town and, if I was to get stressed out or deal with drama in any way and experience said chest pains again, I was to go see my old doctor, stat. Obviously, he doesn't know that me dealing with my mom is drama to the 100th degree.

And - for a good giggle - get this. My dad has this friend, a female friend, but strictly platonic. They've been friends for a couple years and she's engaged to this guy. Anywhoo - see, my parents have been divorced for what, almost 20 years now, but still, my mother has issues. Well, my mother decides that it's mother/daughter time this trip - (the last time I caught hell upon leaving) and makes a hair appointment for me with her stylist tomorrow afternoon. Now, after I told my dad that I was going to be with my mother, he tells me that he had already scheduled a dinner with his "friend" and really wants me to meet her and didn't realize that my mom was already in scheduling mode. Apparently, his friend would rather meet me before the drama with my mom starts (which, if pattern is correct, will start on the 3rd day or so - BEC/Meowmix - I might be coming to visit sooner then!!). Thus, warranting me having to "poke the bear" and telling my mother that the appointment had to be changed, whereby prompting a barrage of interrogation and a sharp, curtly toned "Fine then" from her. Here we go again... Whatever - we won't go down that road again. Deep breaths... breathe in - breathe out - breathe in - breathe out...

Yeah - so basically, I'm up north, it's snowing in Orlando and, if all goes like I think it will - hell might actually freeze over...

Happy Holidays!!!
