Pill Poppin' Dot!

My doctor has me on the following pills... I know, because I refilled my pill box today, in order to "restart" my pill poppin' badness on Sunday:

Multivitamin 3/day
Fish Oil 2/day
Calcium 2/AM
ProEnt2 2/AM & 2/NOON (but I'm slowly working my way up to that dose)
Florastor/DigestaGuard 1/day
Feverfew 1/day (self-prescribed for headaches)
Biotin 1/day (recommended by my Kaiser doc from a LONG time ago)

And then at bedtime:
Calcium 2/PM
Seriphos 2/PM

In total, that's 18 pills a day, once I'm at my full dose of ProEnt2.
Damn.
That's a LOT of pills.

Then again, I could be on her amino acid dosing schedule, which calls for a MINIMUM of 14 pills a day. It only goes up from there. I'm grateful I'm not doing that, not only because it's over $150/month, but because I don't want to take all of those PLUS what I'm taking now! haha

Wish me luck!

Napa Family

I'm on my cell phone... posting a blog... on vacation. How pathetic am I right now? lol

So here's the scoop: Sam and I left work early and drove down to Napa on Friday afternoon. We left at 3pm and arrived in Napa at 2am. His mom was already annoying him... and the dog was already whining and freaking out. The next morning, we got up and started driving around Napa. We ran a few errands and then went to Jackie's house, the girlfriend of Sam's Uncle Mark. At dinner, Sam's mom called him to her seat and told him to announce the good news. I was mortified! First of all, it's not her good news and we should decide when and how we want to tell people.

After dinner, we had cake. Justin, Sam's cousin, and his wife had a present for Grandma and Grandpa Henderson's anniversary. And the gift... a picture of the two of them in a cheesy, corn-ball pose. /gag How conceited can you get? The wife, Christina, then proceeded to tell me that they wanted to share a hobby so they took a community college course in photography. They have two super expensive digital cameras and a "special" computer program so they can edit their photos. And no, it's not Photoshop. Those two made me sick.

We're leaving this afternoon and hitting up In-N-Out on the way home for Felicia and Andrew... and us. haha

My favorite thing of the weekend: Sam's mom wants my cell phone number. I'm going to try NOT to give it to her... I'm hoping we can leave without her remembering. haha She's so annoying...!
