So about three weeks ago I went in for my yearly physical and my doctor was, like, "Oh, hai, you have a heart murmur." (Okay, that's paraphrased slightly.) So I've spent the past three weeks mildly freaked out, waiting for the results of the battery of tests he sent me for. One of which was an echocardiogram which meant I watched my own heart beat, which is both awesome and terrifying. But anyway, long story short, I went in today and everything is okay. All my results of every single test are completely within normal ranges. I am normal! Well, medically speaking anyway. I am so freaking relieved right now.

I've done my tallying (okay, I didn't actually have to; I'm weird and have self-calculating spreadsheets), and have discovered that I wrote 33,404 words (of fiction) in January. This is a little short of my 50,000-word-a-month goal, but I'm definitely not unhappy with it. Also, I watched 30 movies but read only 2 books. As well, I discovered the only thing I really miss about not having cable anymore is not being able to watch PBR on Saturday nights.

And as I'm in my favourite coffeeshop right now (seriously, I don't even have to order anymore; I set up my laptop at a table by the window and by the time I get up to the counter my drink's ready), I'm going to get back to upping my February word count now. :)

ETA: Okay, also, Leverage was renewed for a second season. This makes me very happy.

Oh I'm so glad you had good news! :)

Thank you! :D I don't think I realised quite how stressed out about it I was until I pretty much burst out laughing when he told me everything was fine.

... Dude, what? I'm glad you're okay, but JEEZ. NOW I FEEL BAD FOR USELESSLY BLABBING TO YOU ABOUT DONKEY SHOW ISLAND.

[cjmarlowe.livejournal.com]

LOL, no, really, I only told, like, two people about it. I didn't even tell my mother. Believe me, I WANTED to talk about Donkey Show Island.

...

Words I never thought I'd find myself saying.

[rhythmsextion]

Ahahaha. Well, then, I guess that's good? Or, you know, still kind of disturbing.

(I'm just glad everything's okay. DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.)

Now I just need to figure out how to work a donkey show into Heidi.

... Please don't involve the kitties. Or the puppy.

[cjmarlowe.livejournal.com]

Oh no, they're much to small. Obviously.

[rhythmsextion]

They could-- nevermind. I'm so VERY much not going there.

[cjmarlowe.livejournal.com]

Really, that's probably for the best. XD

oh i'm glad that's good news. I've had one of those ecocardiograms too, they're kinda fun...but only kinda. Take Care :)

[cjmarlowe.livejournal.com]

I imagine they would be much more fun if you weren't thinking OMG WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY HEART?

[venivincere]

I'm glad to hear that your heart's completely normal and I agree with you that an echo is both awesome and terrifying. I remember watching mine and wondering how on earth it did all that without a rest. :-(

That thought is going to haunt me all night now. XD
