**Oh kidneys, why dost thou pain me so?**

I'm home early from work again today due to my lovely kidneys. I'm tired of this. I do still have some pain meds from my hospital visit a few weeks ago, so I'm waiting for that to kick in. I guess I need to make an appointment to follow up w/my urologist. Whenever I go there, I'm the youngest person by like 50 years in the waiting room. *sigh*

I am enjoying my new schedule though. Four days a week, 11.00 am-9.30 pm. Easy-peasy. I do have to pick up the 3 hrs I left early today late Thursday night, as I didn't have any sick time. But that's not a big deal.

Jon and I decided we're going to Toronto in October, so I booked the tickets for that this morning. Starting next month, we have a trip planned for every other month thru October -- not too shabby!

Also, if you're wondering what the asterisks in my title are for, at the suggestion of Jon, I'm using those to differentiate my personal posts from my sponsored posts. Hopefully that will make things a little easier to read (for the 4 of you that do read my blog!).
