First Day of K'garten and the PET Scan


I didn't sleep well last night, so i didn't wake up till about 7:15, which put us behind the eight ball in terms of getting DD2 to k'garten by 8. at least i'd already signed her up for a hot lunch. we ended up being about ten minutes late, since we couldn't find a parking spot. we walk her in to her class, where the teacher was already reading a story. we took some pics and some video and then left.
she is holding the dinosaur she made at BuildABear yesterday. i told her she was allowed to have a stuffed animal at rest time, so she took Dinah along in her back pack.

after dropping DD2 off, we went to a local coffee house, where DH had a white chocolate mocha, DD1 had a smoothie, and i had a bottle of water. then to Target, and then off i went to the PET scan.
it wasn't as bad as i had feared. she had trouble finding a good vein to stick for the radioactive stuff, but after that was over, i got to sit and read my Elizabeth Young novel for an hour to let the radioactive stuff do its thang. the actual PET scan itself took about 30 minutes, and i dozed for the first half of it, and then hummed hymns for the rest. i had to lie still, with my left arm over my head.
and i just want to tell you. when you have to lie perfectly still? your nose will itch. or your brow bone. or both.
the blue thing is the molded thing i told you about on Monday. it apparently is called a cradle.

so, got done with that, and then went to lunch at Barton Springs Grill with DH and DD1. i ordered the white cheese nachos as an appetizer. i am normally not an appetizer girl, but i wanted food quickly, if not sooner.
i had their spinach salad. it is a lovely salad with tomatoes, HB egg, avocado, mushrooms, carrots and spicy pecans.
back to Target, as i was almost out of contact solution, and then to DD2's school to pick her up. she said she had a great day. i asked her if there was anything sad about her day, or anything that she didn't like, and she said no. So, this is a good thing.
On the way home, i told her she could have grapes or strawberries for a snack. however, i had a brownie for my snack. she came across me eating my brownie, and said, "You didn't tell me I could have a brownie!" D'oh!
