Pre-Trip Part X: Only a Week to Go
Entry 10 of 42 | show all | print this entry |
Everything with our ailments turned out to be ok. Oreo wound up having a cyst on her back and needed surgery to remove it. The surgery went well and the biopsy report came back negative. I found out that I do have TMJ and there's not much I can do about it. I've just become more aware of what I do with my jaw and I make sure to relax it as much as possible. At my graduation on Monday night I was nervous and clenching my teeth and the past few days it's been acting up again, but not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning. Dad and Mike both went for sonograms yesterday and they haven't heard anything yet, but from their doctor's visits they really don't think anything is wrong. So we're all good!
A few days ago I called Disney Dining again and changed our priority seating's. I've changed them so many times it's ridiculous.
Michael is having surgery in the city on August 9th for a torn labrum in his shoulder. It's orthoscopic surgery but he needs a routine check-up beforehand. He was going to go tomorrow, but they recommend going closer to the surgery in case he gets an infection or something in July. Why mom and dad made his appointment for two days after we get back, I don't know. So we were thinking that it's going to be too hectic for Mike to go for his blood work and check-up, and go food shopping and get the house back in order, all on the same day. So we'll be coming back from Orlando a day early. Oh well, twenty nine days is still a mighty nice vacation!
I was going to change our schedule around again so we have a relaxing last day in Orlando, but I really don't want to bother with priority seating's and fitting everything in. So on our last full day in Orlando we'll be spending the day at the Magic Kingdom, and coming home that night to pack. Since the hotel we're stopping at in South Carolina is only six and a half hours away from Orlando we really don't need to leave the house at 5:00 in the morning. We'll get up, pack up the rest of our stuff and fit it all in the car, go for a quick breakfast somewhere in the area, check out and leave at around 11:00/12:00. No big deal.
Cari, Jess and Sam really wanted me to come to Rocky Point this weekend for the 4th of July since it's our tradition. However, they're leaving today and coming back on Wednesday, and things would be way too hectic. I need to go shopping for a few last minute things and make my shirts. For every vacation we go on I buy white undershirts and iron-on transfers and make T-shirts. This time I'm making six shirts with different logos/pictures - The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Cher, Dirty Dancing, and a Boy Meets World shirt to wear as pajamas.
I also need to finish with the planning and start packing. Dad didn't even take the suitcases down yet and it would be a pain to pack up all my stuff now and leave for six days, then come back and have to go through all my stuff, unpack and repack, plus shop and finish planning all in two days. Plus, there's no air conditioning at the Rocky Point house and I don't want to sit there sweating. I'm talking to Jess right now and she's trying to talk me into going but it's not happening... if there was an air-conditioner I'll admit I'd probably go. But when it's five hundred degrees out with a hundred percent humidity it's not fun being crammed into a small bed with two other people and sweating on each other! After Mike and I went to Rocky Point in February, when it snowed, I said I'd never go in the summer again.
So that's where everything stands as of now. Mom said she'd do my shirts for me later so I'll see what happens. Tomorrow Mike has to go to the doctor to get the main part of his check-up done, minus the blood test. Oreo's also getting her stitches taken out. On Saturday Oreo's getting groomed, Sunday we're going out to eat with Aunt Stacy and Alison, Monday is a barbecue with Aunt Stacy, Alan, and Alison for the 4th of July, and Tuesday mom and I are going shopping for last minute things. Wednesday I'm hanging out with my friends for one last time before we leave, Thursday mom's going to help me re-color my hair and I'll start packing, and Friday I'll finish packing and do my nails.
I can't wait to get going already! Oh, and we still have to go to AAA to pick up our two extra Sea World tickets... and eat all the opened food in the house so we don't have to throw it out. Let the crazy week begin!
