I left work early today to go to the doctor today; for the last two years I've had some sort of digestive problem- any type of sugar causes me a lot of problems, and when I get sick I pretty much stop digesting food all together. I went to my general doctor, and then to digestive specialists... they pretty much did a lot of expensive surgical tests to look, and they'd constantly tell me that they could find nothing wrong.. finally they told me I had chronic IBS. I wasn't happy with this though... I don't see how being negative on what they tested me for can equate a positive conclusion. That, and when I google IBS I don't have hardly any of the symptoms for it. So now I'm trying a couple medications and will get some blood work done. Yay.

Last night I barbequed at Teresa's; pork chops, asparagus, and potatoes- it was delish! I look forward to living together, it will be so much fun to do more stuff like that.

Last week was tough. Layoffs were announced, which just sucks... I hope the economy turns around soon... the stock market has been better the last couple months, and I do still have a job though, and Carrie still has her job, and later today she'll be graduating with her masters in education.

The garden is sprouting like crazy now I guess... Teresa, MaryLou and I have a veggie garden in pots of various sizes, and though I've not seen it for a week, it sounds like it is growing quickly. Today I moved all the goldfish out to the pond for the season... other than that I worked on computers. There seems to be a virus going around; I was sick earlier this week, and now I have computers to fix.

No progress on the house yet... They're still tossing around layoffs; not that I'm that afraid of losing my job. but I wonder what will happen if things continue to go the way they do... what if there are more layoffs next year? It'd really suck to lose my job and then my life savings in a house I can't afford.
