Excitement

For some reason, I feel so excited today. Things have been going really well for David and I lately, and I can't shake these feelings of... joy? Not that I want to. It's just that I am a person that is plagued by anxiety and "what-if" thoughts, so I can't help but be skeptical when I feel carefree or exceptionally happy.

I can't wait to ride my bike, I can't wait to get more involved at church, I can't wait for this chili cook-off on Sunday, I can't wait to clean the house this weekend, I can't wait for Spring!

I keep wondering if I should stop seeing my therapist, but it's kind of like breaking up with someone.

Maybe I can convince Dave to ride bikes with me tonight. (Does that make me sound like I'm 8 years old? Perhaps I should say, 'Maybe I can convince David to go cycling with me tonight.')

Mail + Potential Study #0

More snow today. It's never enough, though. I am dying to go sledding.

A few days ago we went for a walk in the snow. It was quiet and peaceful and beautiful outside, and we spent time commenting on our neighbors' houses. Surprisingly, there were a lot of jumbo mailboxes. Like, triple the size of ours.

I wonder what a graph of the amount of mail the USPS delivers would look like over the past two decades. Has email lessened the amount, or have credit card offers counteracted the email effect? I am curious to see how much junk mail we receive annually. It's terrible. I love mailmen, though. And mail trucks.

I Probably Will Drink Tonight

It seems as if everyone in the world is pregnant right now. Yes, everyone. I want to be pregnant so badly, but I don't want a baby. I just want to be waited on and fawned over. AND have an excuse to eat more than usual.

What if I think our child is ugly? What if she/he inherits every ugly quality of Dave and I? It could happen!!! I once had a dream that I gave birth to a baby Ewok - it's true.

Ah, well. It's fun to see Dave freak out when I mention babies. Hahaha. Oh well; it's like we already have a baby - a cat whose name I won't mention.

As Snug as a Bug in a Rug

I'm sure there are things that we need to take care of around the house right now, but we're taking advantage of the pretty falling snow and our electric blanket.

Here's a picture of Sprinkles enjoying the view a few days ago (pre-snow):


Is there anything better than snuggling with your husband and eating cereal for dinner together?

I Sing the Body Electric

I took today off and we went to the neurologist today to find out the results of my MRIs.

I don't have MS! Phew. Phew, phew, phew. I still have transverse myelitis and they couldn't really tell me what caused it, but it should go away in a few weeks. The doctor said he was surprised that I didn't have any lesions on my brain and that he thought for sure that I had MS. Boooooyahhhh! Katherine's Brain: 1, Doctor: 0. I still have to go back in 1 year and have another MRI done.

And now, some FREAKY, freaky pictures of my MRIs.

Wormy Brains:


The scariest of them all (I've got to hide this picture in the refrigerator to scare Dave):


Is that huge lumpy thing my heart?:


I'm so happy! And I wish I could take Sprinkles for a walk outside.
