I had my first appointment with my new nurse practitioner. I liked her. She's young, smart, thorough and has a good sense of humor. I told her I would become her favorite patient. As she was leaving the exam room, I reminded her of that. Smiling, she told me I was already at the top of the list. Humoring me is a good start.

I took this photo with my phone near her office. The original is an extra. Since I am trying to work on monos for my camera club class, I'm wondering how you feel about my interpretation. I thought I might be taking this photo today but left without my camera. My first 3-4 years on Blipfoto, I kept my camera bag next to the door and took it everywhere. I should really do that again. Phones have made me lazy but there are some things that a phone can't capture very well.

In other news...I have lost 5 lbs since 23 January, the day I committed to returning to my renal meal plan to y'all on blip..

"I'm Thor!" He cried.
The horse replied, "Because you forgot your thaddle thilly."
