stolen!!..edited at the bottom of post!


Well, on Monday on my way to get the endoscopy, we stopped at Rite Aid for a prescription refill..it wasnt ready so we left and went on to my appt. In the daze/stressfulness of the day, I left my wallet on the counter in the store!!

When we got home, we got the message that the wallet had been found and was put into their safe. Roger went to get it, (since I was still throwing up from the anesthesia)..all the cash and change was gone, but all my ID and credit cards etc..was still in the wallet...all is well...NOT SO MUCH..it dawned on me the next day that one of my diamond rings was in the change purse part of the wallet, and it was gone!..so sad, it was an anniversary band that Roger gave me on our 15th anniversary..not a hugely valuable ring, but sentimental for sure!

Today I went and spoke to the manager of the Rite Aid and asked if they had looked at the video of the pharmacy..duh!..they hadnt looked!!..anyway, they called me this afternoon and told me they know who took it, and have it on tape!..so I had to do a police report and they are taking it from here..so hopefully they can get the ring back if it hasnt been pawned already...as if LIFE hasnt been stressful enough already!..oh well, it could have been worse, they could have stolen the cards and ID..trying to look on the positive side!

Just got a call from the Pierce County sherrif, they have arrested the woman who stole the ring, and she is in jail!!..she says she lost the ring, and the cop said her house was filthy and he could see her losing it in the mess...here's a hoping she can find it and I will get it back..this will go to court eventually and she will have to make restitution, if the ring isnt given back to me...

my endoscopy


I have been having recurrent stomach pain since December and after ultrasounds, xrays, CT scans and a trip to the ER, my doc sent me for an upper endoscopy.
I went today and the procedure was a piece of cake..really!!..they got my IV started on the first try and then I was "out of it" and dont remember having to swallow the tube or anything icky!!..woke up in the recovery room and was told it all looked good with the exception of some polyps, so either the ulcer healed or we have no answer as to what the pain is/was....so, good news/bad news!

Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick


It was my turn to plan our anniversary this year..and when I heard this summer that one of our favorite bands was coming to town the day after our anniversary, I knew that was what I would do!..we went last night and all three bands were incredible. It was so fun to relive some of our high school days thru the music!

I learned however, that large crowds of alcohol imbibing people dont always set well with me..I have very little tolerance for inconsiderate people who stand and block views and sway in their seats and bump into me continuously, cigarette/pot smoke bugs me at this age too, it was at the White River Ampitheater, so technically outdoors...which brings me to the question of-am I too old for concerts?...
the answer is, quite possibly!!!
