A GINORMOUS rock (and, no, I don't mean a diamond...)

Weel, I know it's been a while since we've spoken, and I have a good excuse, really! No, I really do...
I had some kidney stones.
Yeah, you read right.
SOME.
As in two.
TWO!!!
Two that passed (which, in and of itself is a huge deal, if you've ever had them...can you say hello to my new friend dilaudid??? I wouldn't have made it through without it...
Oh, and I don't have insurance.
I also got a kidney infection.
Plus, there are others lurking around in there. One that's 6 mm and too big to pass. I'm gonna have to have some sort of a procedure to get that bad boy out.
BUT, no insurance, remember?
Sigh...
I'm definitely feeling better. Thanks for listening...
I made myself feel better today by going to an Estate sale. I got some LOOT!!! Check it out...
