Three day weekends are happiness...

So its Sunday evening in the middle of a three-day weekend. President's Day means no work so I'll take it. An extra day of relaxing sounds quite nice right now.

Yesterday, I got my MRI. All went relatively well. I wasn't a big fan of the IV they stuck in me to give me "contrast" but otherwise it wasn't too bad. They are pretty noisy machines and you just have to lay there for a while. Mine took an hour in all - thirty minutes without contrast, then I got the IV, then another thirty minutes in the machine. I don't know my results yet, but I will find out when I visit my neurologist on Tuesday morning. They steroids they put me on aren't really helping the headache. She said that they usually work, but knowing me, of course I will fall into the 5% that it doesn't do the trick for. Oh well.

While I did not get to spend Valentine's Day with my amazing boyfriend, I did get a very nice present. Jake went the jewelry route and sent this to me from Kay Jewelers. I am a very lucky girl.

Today, I did some grocery shopping and found a Target! I was really excited that I didn't just have to get stuff at CVS like I have been for a month now. I also got my hair cut - it needed it. I think its cute!

Tomorrow, I am planning on doing some sight-seeing stuff for the first time in a while. I am thinking of hitting some of the monuments and memorials and maybe spend some time at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Oh and one more exciting fact: Jake and I are at the half-way point to seeing each other. I left 33 days ago, and in 33 days he will be out here!

Over and out!
