Updates!

• Biopsy: unpleasant, but quick and I could've been there for much worse
• Result: Good news is that it's nothing. Bad news is that it's nothing, yet there continues to be an increase in creatinin levels, indicating there IS something going on. All tests, however, came back negative (lupus, TB, etc.). Now? Keep hydrated and continue monitoring.
• Weird.
• Vancouver was great: Lynn Canyon, book stores, Thai food, cupcakes, chocolate cake, friends, family, support, being cared for.
• Spent too much on books, though. :P
• Ate most of my cupcakes, as they made it back safely (i.e. damage confined to icing which, while squashed, is still icing).
• Have one left for D for his return.
• Lazy brunch with friends yesterday (pancakes!), then a lazy stop at Starbuck's to visit another friend. Lovely!
• Belated Christmas gifts: sketchbook & pencils; photo frame with picture of Elmo and his Intuitive Portrait (go to gallery, bottom left picture, the one with the mouse)
• D & I in tentative discussions about getting a place together
• Fresh snow :)
• December's hydro bill: $166.65!! Double what I normally pay, but I was doing an awful lot of baking & cooking over the holidays, so that makes sense, although I will have to watch that in future
• D wanting a trip to Vancouver when he gets back next week; his treat, but it seems very extravagent. And I haven't requested the time off (my mind's been on other things), so not certain I can get the time off anyway...
• Got a call from my FA to touch base and discuss my current investments
• Tried to make coconut rice last night, but it didn't work out so well. Edible, sure, but nothing like I had at the Thai restaurant last week! I need to figure out how they made that!
• Another relaxing, long weekend :)
