Yes I'm still alive...

Alright alright, I'll put a new post on here so that everyone doesn't have to see the one about my deaf Hubby. Cut me some slack, I've been busy!

Classes are going well, I've been getting mostly A's on my quizzes, essays, etc so far. But that may change with my first Chemistry exam coming up on the 8th. Tomorrow is my first Art History exam, all essay questions, but I'm not too worried about that one.

I would post some art from my drawing class except we've been doing such boring projects, starting out with one-point and two-point perspective work... so in other words we've been drawing a bunch of buildings. This last week we started figure drawing but haven't drawn anything worth mentioning yet.

Hubby took his mom to the doctor and had it confirmed that yes she does indeed have Alzheimer's not just dementia. We're waiting on lab results, which will for one thing tell whether the vitamin B therapy will work or not, apparently it only works in certain types of cases.

I went to the doctor myself, the first time in a gazillion years (we're talking mid-90's). As far as blood results show from the lab, I'm healthier than I thought. Cholesterol levels were extremely good, iron-potassium-sodium-etc levels good, thyroid good (surprising for me being thin), and I only have a 2.1% chance of having a heart attack anytime soon. Doc said I have the health of someone who is athletic and exercises a lot- HA!! That's funny, all I do is walk- A LOT- walking across campus every day carrying art supplies.

Still, it doesn't explain why at 35 I'm all of a sudden getting minor migraine-type headaches, so the doc is setting up a referral for a MRI of my brain... I'll let you know if they find anything... haha. I may as well say it first before the Peanut gallery does.

On a different note, we have a WaMu mortgage and we really really liked them. In fact, last month when we told them we were in college they modified our loan, cutting the interest rate IN HALF! It actually cut our mortgage payment in half. I told Hubby it seemed to me like a dying man going to a bar and buying a round of drinks for everyone... WaMu knew they were being bought so why not give away the farm to all their customers? What did they care? lol But we're curious to see what happens with Chase. We have bank accounts with Chase and they seem decent, but there's still that unknown aspect floating around that makes you nervous about your home.

One last thing... I don't know which is worse, that our local "Oldies" station K-LUV plays music from the 80's... or that I've been listening to the Oldies station. It made me feel even worse when I realized the 80's were 30 years ago. Man it hurts when reality sets in.

That's all for now.
