The past couple of weeks have gone by in a whirl!
In a nutshell –
– INXS! Post coming up shortly!
– The countdown to our trip to Australia is going by so quickly. Everything is planned and our schedule is jam packed. Of course, there are blank days there depending on Collingwood. That is not helping my nerves at all!
– We booked our 2012 vacation to Europe! We’ll be visiting Rome, Venice, Paris and London. Am I excited? OH YES INDEED! I have not been back to London since I lived there 1999 and we’ve been able to use points for flights and Marriott points in London. To be able to return to the Vatican and to experience it with Bill is something that I just KNOW is going to be amazing. We are both so excited!
– Bill did his back while putting his shirt on. Yep… that easy. He was basically bed ridden for four days and has been sore and taking it easy since. We need his back to be better before we get on that flight to Australia! He is 99.9% better now… and just being extra careful.
– I had a suspicious looking something on my arm. When it ended up not being a mozzie bite or a new freckle and it was still itchy after five weeks I made a very urgent appointment at the dermatologist. With our family history of melanoma and skin cancer, you take any little thing seriously. It had been over a year since my last full skin check so luckily, they squeezed me in quickly and took my concerns seriously. She was wonderful and did another full check of my body and found another suspicious mole on my upper leg. While I was sitting there she ordered an urgent biopsy and removal. I went WHITE and clammy immediately. I typically need days of mental preparation for just my flu shot as my fear of injections is so bad. I had no choice but to do a stack of deep breaths and not lose it there and then. But.. I survived and walked in a dreamlike state to the subway afterwards. The removal spots are still healing and tender and I’ll have some scarring and light pigmentation but the good news is – the one on my arm was an inflamed sunspot and the one on my leg was a benign mole. HORRAY!
– Remember this post where I was fretting about missing the Foo Fighters? Well they actually are going to be playing Madison Square Garden in November! After a refreshing frenzy on the Ticketmaster website, we got two seats!! So many people missed out – we are so lucky to be going!
I am going through bit of a 70s phase at the moment on my iPod… here are some beauties!
LOVE this footage of Tom Jones!
