have you ever noticed how the scale in your doctor's office NEVER corroborates what your scale says at home? or does this only happen to me? this morning i set off for my doctor's office with a song in my heart and a smile on my face because it was a good scale day (even fully dressed! minus shoes)...i stopped off at WaWa for my favorite cup o' joe, and headed to the office, where upon, less than an hour later, i had apparently gained 5 pounds. now, their scale did weigh me 6.6  pounds LESS than my last visit, but STILL. ugggh. On the bright side, i had a very good visit, although i did not see Dr. Wynn, but a new doctor (new to me) in the same practice. She is awesome, she actually listened to me and took me seriously about some of my ongoing medical concerns that, frankly, i don't think my PCP has. So i am going to be having some lab tests done and seeing a vascular specialist. She was very encouraging and offered some great advice. Overall it was a very nice visit. except for the scale phenomenon. whatever. I'm over it. almost... I took my momma with me so she could see her doctor too (both offices are about 45 miles from home and at the moment she does not have transportation) and after our appointments were over we went to a local orchard/produce market and loaded up on fresh apples of all kinds, and then i took  her to lunch at Chik-Fil-A. I had their chargrilled and fruit salad with the berry balsamic vinaigrette. YUUUUMMM--*disclaimer-the dressing has 9 grams of sugar for 2 tbsp, but i only used about 1 tbsp * the salad is waaayy huge and i basically eat the chicken breast and fruit with maybe 3 bites of the romaine. Oh, and the granola topping. i must say it again--YUUUUMMM! after lunch we went to a local discount grocery store and stocked up on some good deals, then home. i really enjoy spending time with her like that, it doesn't happen near as often as  i would like.

TOP 3 things that annoyed  me today;
1. the previously mentioned scale phenomenon
2. the fly in this room that keeps buzzing my face and hair
3. that my smart phone battery does not hold a decent charge anymore
