Portland from Marginal Way

This is some of the view from my doctor's office. He scared the crap out of me today. He thinks I may have a scaphoid fracture. (Wrist) High risk of complications. Something called AVN not pretty. So I will see the ortho dr tomorrow. Until then , I will behave and not do any mountain climbing until he sees it. I am so disappointed. I was going to do that tomorrow right after I run a marathon .
Yup I am lying
So tomorrow I will find out the verdict. An MRI or a CATscan is in my future.
Thanks so much for the nice things said yesterday. I have to make a decision to either make a new beginning or make a new beginning on an old decision. I'm not making any decision while I have a broken bone. So I promise not to whine on Blip again!! Thanks for being so kind.

Tomorrow we have a gig for First Friday, the art walk in Portland. I love this First Friday thing. It is
entertaining and fun and filled with strange people . I am expecting a funny blip tomorrow. Saturday is Crystal springs farmers market. A visual delight.

I know for people in other countries this will be weird. So get this
I have health insurance through my employer. We are required to have yearly testing. If you are a smoker then your premiums are more costly. If our results score well on our blood levels and blood pressures and BMIs then we get a rebate back of 250 dollars. Today I had my testing. I actually was observed while I entered and exited the rest room to provide a specimen.
I guess last year there was some suspect urine
fraud. This year a smoker incurs a 4k dollars deductible, 1200 more a year in premiums and.....a limited policy.
So I don't smoke thank God. But I do have an addiction to the baked pea snacks from Trader Joes.
I don't know if this will alter my levels but I ate a whole bag yesterday and one today. Maybe one tomorrow if the doctors appointment has a disappointing outcome.
They are fabulous and they make me feel awesome........
Better living through baked peas. Who knew?

Good night all and as always g'day to down under... I hope the weather gets better soon. I hear it makes some people cranky!!!
