i still  haven't heard from my doc re: the mobility assessment, and I haven't done anything about that this week. that's probably because i have to have a colonoscopy friday; nothing fills your week with dread more than that. unless it is this: i went out to my car wednesday so i could go to the pharmacy to pick up the Suprep stuff (that I have to drink to clear me out), and the car won't start. this is why i was concerned about going to Seattle last week. my car is 24, and not very well. i'm letting it rest until i'm done with the, well, you know. i just finished the first half of the prep. i'm tired, and i wanna go to bed which i will do as soon as i finish this. you know what? i am so tired that i can't type worth a shit right now, so i will post this as a kind of teaser and let you know later how ...it all comes out. Good Night and TTYL
