The good news is that after A MONTH, I actually have some stuff to blog about. And I figured what better time to start back up than 5 Things Friday.
This list is comprised of the shocking "SERIOUSLY?!" moments that have happened basically in the last week. It's been a good one.
1. I was at the ENT the other day (for a hearing test) and the doctor was giving my neck an exam. What that had to do with my hearing, I have NO idea. He starts at the top of my neck, working his way down, and vocalizing all of the things he feels along the way. Lymph nodes, carotid artery, thyroid...
Thyroid?!
Me: Um... I don't have a thyroid.
Dr.: Ok, let's check again...
Proceeds to re-do neck exam, and when he gets to where my thyroid should be,
Dr: Well, right here, I feel the cartilidge. I just assumed you have a small thyroid. It's not like you have cancer though.
Me: I did have cancer. Which is why you'd better not feel any thyroid in there.
Starts neck exam AGAIN.
Dr: No I don't feel any residual thyroid tissue in there.
Yeah, I feel like I'm in such good hands.
This might not seem like a big deal, but if I have thyroid tissues, that means my cancer has come back. So it kind of is a big deal. In the past, this would have really freaked me out. But I had an ultrasound and bloodwork done in December that showed NO thyroid tissue in my thyroid bed and the bloodwork showed NO sign of thyroid tissue (aka cancer). But I honestly can't believe that it happened.
2. Later that same day, I went to a committee meeting. We have had these meetings almost every month for over two years, so when the meetings first started, I was fairly pregnant. And if you recall, I was not a small pregnant woman. I was one of those unfortunate, not cute, chubby pregnant ladies. And I have since then lost all that baby weight.

Like a year ago. So I was a little confused when TWO people said:
"You look really different since the last time we saw you!"
Granted we haven't met in probably 3 months, but I was a little confused. So I asked, "Oh yeah? How so?"
Response, "Well didn't you recently have a baby?"
2 YEARS AGO!
And it would have been one thing if these were large meetings (they aren't) or if I was silent during the entire meeting (I'm not) or if it were just one person (but it wasn't).
I guess I should get rid of the shirt I was wearing.
3. I'm not going to go into details on this next one, but let me just say this...
When you are interviewing for a job, it is probably best to NOT look down the employers blouse while shaking her hand good-bye.
Just a piece of advice from me to you.
4. I was taking a drink of coffee and missed my mouth.
{Don't worry... we won't really have people sleep in the kitchen}
Can we say "Professional?" I suppose it could be worse? Like I could have dropped chili on the plans.
5. My family was together a few weeks ago and I casually told a story mentioning that I had baby fever. Here are some examples of the response I got:
"Not yet!"
Downcast stares with a subtle head shake.
At least one person looked at Phil and said, "No."
I'm probably the ONLY one left in my family that will have kids, so this reaction surprised me. They all LOVE Henry. And I'm pretty sure I didn't get a say in their family planning. It just seemed like a strange reaction.
I mean, look at Henry:
He's so cute! Obviously we should have like a dozen more babies.
So hopefully you have a good weekend and nobody says (or does) anything weird to you!
