No airport security for me the next few days....

This Link is just a reference to what might happen if I have to go fly anytime really soon! LOL.

Yep! This morning I had to go take a radioactive / iodine pill for a thyroid scan I'm having later today.

I think it's funny... I have to carry a card stating why I am "radioactive".

I was talking to my mom on the phone, a few minutes ago, & we were laughing about how Coleman (my border collie) was sniffing my wrist where the hospital bracelet is... & she said he's probably wondering if it was ok to jump on me or would I explode! LOL

So, then I said, maybe I shouldn't be laughing... which made us laugh harder!

The reason behind this, is the scan is to see what is going on with my thyroid. A few weeks ago I had an ultrasound done & they found some nodules along with an abnormally large thyroid.

Concerned, my family doctor, ordered this thyroid uptake & scan. A major DRAWBACK of this is I had to stop my meds for 3+ weeks... So, if you're wondering why my blogging has been sparse lately... it's because I've been fighting depression again.

Especially the past week or so. I pushed myself over Thanksgiving weekend & basically the last 3 days I've done practically nothing, except sleep... or just sit & surf on the internet.

I had no interest in baking a bunch of stuff like I usually do at this time of year. So, I only promised my family something really easy... Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins. (Harvest Muffins is what we call them.)

I used to make them from scratch until Pillsbury came out with the pumpkin bread / muffins mix... Just add chocolate chips & it's exactly like our homemade version!

Anyway! I just wanted to let all my regular readers know what's been keeping me away. I hope to get back into the groove here in a few weeks.

Plus I've been fiddling with my theme, trying to learn the CSS so I can help others customize their sites as well. (& make some for those who don't like to mess with it.) For now I am going to stick with this one I found from "Multiply Customized Themes Group".

Well, it's been long enough since I took the pill, that I now can go eat some breakfast.

I'll be back later with some more eggs from Caghs!! :)

  1. I hope that whatever the doctors find isn't serious - but you seem to have a good attitude about it. I understand about the depression thing, I've gone through the same problem, and it's hard to get out of it. You can make it! and I think your theme is awesome - good job!

  2. Thanks for sharing that recipe. It sounds yummy and simple which is my kind of recipe. I have not been on much either. I just am overwhelmed with all of the stuff I have to get done before Christmas. I hope that thyroid uptake scan turns out fine. Sorry about that depression. Kind of scary going off meds. Can you get back on them tomorrow?
